[ghst]

this is sony's gift to you. six more months of gaudy promises, extravagant hopes and a library of gifs which pour over ever pixel of footage, before the reality of another mediocre cinematic shooter is over in a single afternoon.

 

[Andodalf]

So abysmally that they never bothered to even port another Tales game to the 360 is my answer.

So I will never see a sequel to one of my most beloved games?

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Listings and such things

Is Planetside 2 confirmed for this year? I'm looking forward to it.

 

[IISANDERII]

Good. I like it when they got the balls to delay instead of sticking to their deadlines to appease shareholders.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

This gen has been pretty slow on getting remarkable new IP to retail.

By the end of 2014, we'll have

Nintendoland
Zombie U
Lego City (generous definition of new IP)
Wonderful 101
Ryse
Knack
Titanfall
Destiny
Drive Club
Deep Down
Sunset Overdrive
Evolve

Combined. Am I missing anything big? There's obviously quality there (and more variety when you include DD) but you can begin to understand why 2 of 3 consoles are struggling.

You may, but I believe even the director of the game committed to Sony platforms for all future tales.

Whereas your gift is enough bitterness to sour even the most seasoned IPA drinkers' palette.

He's in every other thread, deflecting the discussion from Xbone's performance deficits. It's not surprising.

I think it's slow to get EVERYTHING to market. This is AAA gaming these days!

Dear god....

 

[Zabuza]

Why not, and good.

How did it sell?

I think between it and the PS3 version it sold pretty well. I just don't see a sequel happening. But who knows, we got a ToS2. The exclusivity was for just one game.

 

[The_R3medy]

Is Planetside 2 confirmed for this year? I'm looking forward to it.

Planetside was confirmed for last year. And now it's confirmed for this year. Honestly, with SOE's reputation of delays I fully expect it to be pushed back again.

 

[Terbinator]

Dear god....

thanks for the laugh

It was listed by Sony as 2014, but so was The Order, who knows.

damn

 

[Salz01]

This kind of sucks. Order was my most wanted game this year. This year just seems like lots of sequel drivel. Some good, and some just there to print dollars. Nothing really new.

[Squire]

Rumors are just rumors, even if they came from someone I respect. The Order is still schedule to release this year, until is confirmed it's not.

We will see soon though, but right now everything is speculation.

More like embargoed.

That's being generous i think. What an incredibly average line-up of games.

It's not something that requires admiration. It just means they don't have finish product yet or they don't believe it will meet the standards.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

I really don't get the outrage, if the game really is delayed it's because it needs more work. Do you want a mess of a game? I don't. Exclusives will come, 2015 will be loaded.

I seriously doubt Sony is worried, CoD will sell circles around any exclusive and move plenty of PS4s in the holiday season.

 

[Vashetti]

PS3 2007:

Warhawk
Folklore
Heavenly Sword
Ratchet Tools of Destruction
Uncharted

PS4 2014:
inFamous
Driveclub


wtf

Game costs are rocketing, so less games are being made, for higher costs.

It isn't just at Sony either, this is happening all across the industry.

Watch Dogs also.

 

[S¡mon]

Sony better money-hatted a 3rd party developer/publisher for an exclusive for Holiday 2014.

I want an exclusive this Holiday season* to make me feel good about my PS4 purchase.

*And no, #DRIVECLUB, a game that was supposed to come out a year earlier, does not count.

 

[N.Domixis]

They delayed it after revealing new information? That's odd.

The new info was badly received, probably scared sony shitless and caused the delay of
The Definitive Color-Blind Simulator: 1886

 

[Andodalf]

You may, but I believe even the director of the game committed to Sony platforms for all future tales.

I don't care what platform it's on. I just want the game! Also the original voice actors for any returning characters. Especially yuri. Dat troy Baker voice!

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

It's why indie/dd games are so important. They're the new mid tier gaming filler. Sooner or later the people that discredit these games will come around.

 

[Usobuko]

Last E3, Shuhei Yoshida says there are more than X number of projects internally by Sony Worldwide studios. Have they hit the numbers yet? How does it compared with Microsoft?

 

[Lemondish]

Have you been around to see the response to that footage? I'd delay it too after seeing that level of disappointment.

Hahaha amazing.

Now tell us how you really feel, my friend.

*And no, #DRIVECLUB, a game that was supposed to come out a year earlier, does not count.

Hope this is sarcasm, because it doesn't make any sense.

uh huh… tell me more

 

[Rembrandt]

Forgot to add the most excellent dead rising, gears of war and saints row 1. I am sure there were other games to.

I would say fight night round 3 blows away every single cross generation this time around and it is not even close.

Weren't launch titles. All came a year later, so we still have 5 more months, lol.

 

[DemurOnion]

I don't think I was.... what was the response?

Indies only count when people want to pad the list of 1080p titles.

 

[JayEH]

Didn't sony say last year to expect like 15 exclusives in the first year? I think they said that during E3.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

[Rembrandt]

Was it? Is it even the best selling XBO game? Did it even outsell KZ?

Sold more copies than KZ did in it's first month, but I'm positive your response to that will be that KZ is exclusive and Titanfall isn't/you were only talking about the X1 numbers'. Also it moved a decent amount of consoles, although it's no guarantee Titanfall was why.

 

[Yoday]

I hope this turns out to be true. There are already going to be way too many games to play this fall, so something getting pushed a few months would be a relief.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

keep in mind this year is 20th anniversary for Playstation, so this should be big. No way would Sony let that slip without dropping any bombs.

Spoiler

I think it's time for The Last Guardian re-reveal.

If you go back and see what they announced last year, you'll get your answers.

This is bad, really bad for Sony. What have they got in terms of exclusive games this year? Both Microsoft and Nintendo are miles ahead in this sector it seems.

Owning just a PS4, I feel kind of let down by this.

err, the only X1 exclusive confirmed for this year is Sunset Overdrive. Seriously, why am I the only one noticing this?

[Axass]

The thing is, they still will likely have the worst lineup for the year with all games considered.

Completely subjective. Looking at that lineup, I wouldn't even slot the Wii U into second place. Opinions....

Lets not take into account that this is the wiiu's second year or anything.

Console wars: serious business. I was just trying to point out something funny, I'm not some kind of Nintendo apologist, despite the avatar.

Yeah, Wii U's first year hasn't been that hot. Though I wasn't trying to compare the systems on a fair basis, just the lineup for the rest of the year, because I found it funny; besides it's not like PS4 and X1 had that many first party exclusives since January: Infamous, Kinect Sports Rivals, I guess you could somehow count Titanfall, and...? Objectively Nintendo has 4 new high budget games coming out, Sony has Driveclub and a bunch of HD remasters, Microsoft has Sunset Overdrive, maybe Forza Horizon 2 and a bunch of HD remasters/remakes. I'd say that, not taking into account personal tastes, Nintendo's lineup is better due to both quantity and variety: an RPG, an hack 'n' slash, a fighting game and a character action game. With something else possibly revealed at E3.

 

[S¡mon]

Didn't sony say last year to expect like 15 exclusives in the first year? I think they said that during E3.

Microsoft said 15 and then Sony went like "well yeah we've got 20".

They are pretty close, I believe, if you include all the SCE published games (so that'll also include some digital only titles, like Resogun).

 

[Rembrandt]

Didn't sony say last year to expect like 15 exclusives in the first year? I think they said that during E3.

Yup, they included indie games like most people figured.

 

[Zabuza]

Why would Driveclub not count because it got delayed? So if Order releases 2015 it counts as a 2014 title because of the delay? Stupid logic.
