If you look at purely launch games without taking into account exclusivity Sony has the better lineup.
If you look at exclusivity X1 has the better launch lineup...
The X1 lineup is about full game exclusives and diversity that cannot be found on another platform, the Sony launch lineup looks more like an indie port-fest from the PC and a few launch exclusives.
So far this game looks like Halo in a dynamic world. That's not a bad thing (in fact it really rocks), but Halo can catch and pass it...
@staticdash22...
Actually it is an educated guess. The person is psyched about KZSF... Indicating they are a PS fan... Because only Sony gaming fans are psyched for KZSF...
Because they have nothing better to do.
Why didn't Sony build something to compete with Kinect? Why was it called PS4? Why isn't Move bundled in PS4? Why the focus on Indie games rather than their own titles? Why no rumble in the trigger controls? Why is PSN Plus required for online gaming now? If the console truly is more powerful than X1 was is it so cheap? Why did Sony drop the 10 year console cycle in favor of a 7 year cycle? Why did Sony drop BC in PS3 when it was one of their "most important" feature...
So, if I buy games digitally, I am under the DRM rules they came out with originally? But if I buy a physical disc I am with the reversed rules?
I like it... I will never buy another physical game again!
Sony never lies or misleads gamers.
ALERT! This just in from E3 2019! After 10 years of production, Sony announces a holiday ship date for the Last Guardian on PS5 as a launch title! Sony fans rejoice and buy the console on masse!
These articles are useless...
We will not know until 3-5 years in the cycle which console truly has the power and potential to deliver that power.
It takes 3-5 years before developers fully tap out the capabilities of either console.
Wow... That story had very little logic attached...
My guess...
The typical release dates of games in North America is Tuesday. Yet there are no games scheduled for release on November 12th.
It would make sense for MS to release Tuesday the 12th. Three days before Sony and in time for NFS and Watch Dogs.
@Chaoster...
OK. X1 has the best exclusives at launch...
Now go and argue with that...
Remove the games on shared platforms, remove the PC and Web games...
List them out and compare game for game.
Remove all shared platform games, remove games that also ship on another platform (PC, 360, and Web)...
List the exclusives left and do a comparison...
X1 wins without even a fight. A broader array of games that appeals to more people easily.
1. Dedicated cloud servers will be an important part of the gen. And MS does it as a business whereas sony does it for their one service.
2. Sony fanboys made the rules last gen and now they want to change them... When Xbox fanboys would talk about L4D exclusive, sony fanboys would say PC games didn't count, when Xbox fanboys would talk about XBLA and indie games sony fanboys said only retail counts.
3. There is a difference, one is made by sony and on...
How many are actual Exclusive titles of the 33?
Most of the digital downloads are just a bunch of indie 360, PS3, PC, and Web titles just being ported to PS4.
The only two retail exclusive/timed exclusives are Knack and Killzone vs. the X1 which has Deadrising 3, Forza 5, and Ryse as exclusives/timed exclusives.
And then on digital only Counterspy, DC Universe (Probably just a PS3 port), Doki-Doki Universe, DriveClub (Probably not available a...
I'm just pointing out that there is not much real new IP. As I stated in the OP...
Fanboys seem to think Sony is being a major innovator here. In reality they are just getting devts to port and build on already established games.
During this gen when MS kept iterating Gears, Halo, Forza, Fable, etc, fanboys jumped on them as lacking originality and new IPs... I'm just pointing out the same thing is happening in the Sony world.
Yeah, but the X1 is not recycling a bunch of indie games that are already released on other platforms for their launch...
lmao!
Can't wait for N++, Minecraft, Pinball Arcade, War Thunder, Warframe, and Planetside 2 on PS4... I have played them all on other platforms (including 360 for some) already... Sony is brilliant! Take a bunch of games on other platforms, get them ported to PS4, and say look at all our great next gen indie support!... Only thing i...
It is funny.
N++, Pinball Arcade, and Minecraft are last generation games re-launching on PS4 (They already were on 360 and/or PS3).
Blacklight is the next iteration of the 360/PC game Blacklight Tango Down.
Planetside 2, War Thunder, and Warframe is on PC.
Super Motherload is the next version of the online game Motherload.
Contrast is shipping on 360 and PS3.
Tiny Brains is shipping sim...
@Saigon.
Almost all development studios start as indies.
I do realize that indies are important, but it seems right now as if they are more important then established studios that constantly deliver great games... Naughty Dogg, Guerilla, 343, Visceral, Twisted Pixel, Sony Santa Monica, Rockstar Boston, UbiSoft Montreal, EA Vancouver, etc.
You have to remember that the AAA franchises are typically $100 million dollar adventures. By not giv...
It is more about gamers... I don't give a crap about self-publishing or pimped publishing...
For example,
- How will Sony and MS protect purchase? Meaning if I buy a game, can I keep downloading it forever, or at some point will it disappear and not let me have access to what I purchased?
- How will Sony and MS ensure games are tested well enough?
- How will Sony and MS protect their trophy and achievements system so it is not abused by self-publis...
Easy does not mean better...
Why is this even a question?
Fuse, Socom, Brink, Quake: Enemy Territories, and Defiant were all $50 or $60 games that were either online only or were only worth playing online.
That's like saying a game like God of War and Devil May Cry that doesn't really have online isn't worth $60.
Not every game is Halo, CoD, BF, Killzone, Gears of War, etc. Where they have online, campaigns, and (some) co-op.
