Cancel Christmas: 'Next-Gen' begins next Spring

Dealspwn writes: Ah, the "silly season." Every year we tend to see major publishers cramming their wares into the late September to mid-November release windows to try and steal a slice of the Christmas cake, turning the holiday into a glutted feeding frenzy of hype and exclusives that often buries deserving niche software and exerts a ridiculous strain on our bank balances.

So it was, so it is and so it will always be... but not this year. Though we've still got plenty of games to look forward to this holiday season, February 2015 is actually set to be sillier still, as yet another game finds itself releasing in what's set to be an utterly outrageous month of new-gen releases.

No need to "cancel Christmas" there are several games for the rest of the year. The question should be, can your wallet handle the winter after the Christmas rush.

Abash4304d ago

Fall has a lot of big games, and Winter next year has The Order: 1886, Dying Light, The Witcher 3, and Evolve.

Quite a lot of big releases until the Spring so I dont understand how the article write can say "Next-Gen" begins then....

windblowsagain4303d ago

Think Evolve has been pushed to 2015.

Vitalogy4303d ago

And here I thought 'next gen' have been around since November 2013, guess I was wrong. /s

C-H-E-F4303d ago

This author...How about you hold your CLICKBATE though...PLENTY of games coming out sept-november actually starting when the Walking Dead come out.

anticlimax4303d ago

Destiny, The Walking dead, Fifa, Football manager, Forza, Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Driveclub, Borderlands, The Evil Within, AC: Unity, Call Of Duty, The Crew, Civilisation: Beyond Earth, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, New Tomb Raider.

Did I miss any? Best cancel Christmas, because if you do even half of these you'll be gaming straight through december.

deadchucky4303d ago

Yeah it can with 1000$ just for games

OrangePowerz4303d ago

Jep more than enough games with Destiny, The Evil Within, AC Unity and Rogue, LBP 3, DriveClub, Forza Horizon 2, Project Cars, The Crew, Halo MCC, Advanced Warefare, Sunset Overdrive and plenty more.

ZombieKiller4303d ago

Most of my games are coming out/been delayed until 2015, but I'm actually happy about that as I can take a small break....or at least my wallet can. My plan for this year is
GTA V
Far Cry 4
Destiny
MAYBE AC Unity
and IF DARTH VADER LENDS ME THE DEATH STAR I MAY consider Call of Duty.

Next year is a different story.

Arkham Knight
Evolve
Witcher

'Next-gen'? Which company is launching a new console?

Strangelover4303d ago (Edited 4303d ago )

Valve - Steam Machines

Vitalogy4303d ago

They can't seen to drop the 'next gen' expression from their headlines, probably think it'll give them more clicks.

theshredded4303d ago (Edited 4303d ago )

they mean real next gen.The consoles are missing basic features.What game was a real next gen game that was worth upgrading from ps3/x360?none with Resogun being the only exception out of all games

FullmetalRoyale4303d ago

All of them that I purchased were worth the upgrade. It's a bit of a douchey thing to do to ask a question, then answer it yourself. You clearly are here to tell everybody the one way to interpret reality. You're way. The way in which nothing is ever good enough for anyone, and everything should be more, and free!

Artista 4303d ago

all 8 gen consoles have been released. Games are games, regardless of the hardware generation.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

Cause they play NBA2k26, COD and gamepass

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj61d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

LMGk61d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever62d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai62d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.
