Microsoft Exclusives

Halo 5
Fable Legends
Sony Exclusives

Ratchet and Clank
Grim Fandango
Order: 1886 (or something like that, I don't remember the year lol)
No Man's Sky
The Last of Us remastered
Landing the Destiny Beta
Diablo 3 Exclusive content
Exclusive Batman Scarecrow missions
Little Big Planet 3
Blood Bourne
Now granted the dust hasn't quite settled yet, and Microsoft may surely have some more tricks up it's sleeve, but I feel very safe in backing the PS4 for the new generation.
What do you guys think?
Sony didn't "land the Destiny beta". They get it earlier than the other platforms. Oh noes! They also have an alpha that starts this weekend, but that requires you to sign up for it.
Little Big Planet was never going to be anything but a Sony exclusive.
Bloodbourne was nothing but a cinematic trailer.
Last of Us was going to be a Sony exclusive.
Batman Scarecrow missions are likely going to be timed exclusive or just so boring that it wouldn't matter anyways.
Diablo 3 exclusive content is a wash as it's basically reskinned monsters.
Order: 1886 actually looks interesting but as an exclusive it seems to be a bit weird.
Ratchet and Clank and Grim Fandango are relying upon fanfondness.
Add to it that you left off Microsoft getting a slew of "premiere content first on Xbox One" for some big name titles(Dragon Age: Inquisition, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Tom Clancy's The Division) and I have to wonder if you actually did pay attention.
It's also worth mentioning that Microsoft was showing off a mixture of first and third party titles while most of what Sony showed off yesterday was first party.
First off, I wasn't attacking either side just giving my opinion so drop the attitude. It is evident that you are Microsoft fanboy and if I upset you that was not the intention. But clearly by what you said you prove my point. Sony had more first party (exclusive) content than Xbox. Which is what really matters at the moment as far as the console wars go. Maybe you should pay attention

I don't think you understand what "exclusive content" is.
I will say that I forgot about the Halo remastered edition coming out. It actually seems like a solid product, but as much as I love, love, love Halo, the series is pretty stale for me. 4 wasn't a big improvement and the story, to me, was largely forgettable.
Manchu wrote: Did you seriously play any Fable game all the way through in less than two hours?
Fable 1 was less than 10 hours start to finish, and I levelled up plenty in it.
For 2, I remember a lot of back and forth running from town to town. I can't recall the exact time, but there's no way it was more than a 20 hour campaign.
And 3 (the one I think did the best of Fable), that was probably around...hmmm mid 20s for hours. But a good portion of those hours were spent grinding gold in jobs or having property pay off so I could not have all the kingdom slaughtered by shoggoths.
There you go, hours of play. And the truth is I had some fun playing them. Yes, by the end I was very bitter about them but I did have fun, which explains why I keep buying them even despite thinking they are ultimately a disappointing line of games.

Yeah. So I'm seeing that being, shall we say, rude and condescending, is your way to win an argument. Good job. Calm down there little buddy.
The title of my thread is my opinion, but I never once said that Xbox 1 Sucks, or that PS4 is the best. I merely said I was glad I'm backing the PS4 and that my opinion is they had the better show with better games coming out.
As far as exclusive goes...just stop, you're making yourself look worse

I yield the semantic point. Yes, I did get plural hours of play out of Fable.
That said, for the sprawling RPG worlds that they inflated themselves up to me, I am left seriously chafed. I paid full price for games that I could have beaten in a weekend and have zero replay value. That isn't ambition, no matter how big they talk it up to be.
To use your analogy, just because the first bite of a sandwich is good doesn't mean it is a good sandwich when it is awful by the end. And that you paid full price for a finger sandwich.
But to be honest. :/ I agree with everyone here who says PC's are cheaper and more fun. Plus its more enjoyable, as it costs 60$ for a game on consoles. How much do I pay on the computer? 20$ for a game :/ I just wait for sales, because console games rarely go on sale.
Grim Fandango eh? I wonder if it's a sequel, prequel, or remake?
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

I have to agree with this. I did, in fact, have a lot of fun playing the first two games. The third one didn't feel like Fable to me. I agree with the poster who said that most of the game was a gold-grind, but I invested heavy in real estate and had no trouble there. I would just park it in a corner somewhere, and leave the game on overnight for a few days and BAMF. But what killed it for me was the crashes and game ending saves. They took too long to patch it, and just when the DLC was headed in the right direction, they abandoned it. didn't work for me personally...
Again, no argument here about the Fable games being ultimately disappointing. My original point is that they have ambition, and specifically not that they live up to it. Everyone of them has been much less than hyped BUT they still stand out.

yeah...don't have anything to refute that with lol! But it was an ambitious game, and honestly, they did sport some of the best graphics of the generation! And hey, it is the only game ever that you can literally fart in someones face, then kill them, then say you were sorry to guards and they'd let you go
Remake. And "exclusive to the PS3 and PS4 console"...so probably getting a PC release as well.
it is. Tim Schafer would probably self combust if it wasn't. It will probably find its way to the X box as well.
Besides the original is a PC exclusive

I assume that they are either unhappy with how it is progressing and restarted it or they are creating a new engine. It will turn up eventually.

Fallout will definitely make a return. I think that enough demand is there for it, but I agree it is probably a new engine for it. Plus don't those games take forever to make? I mean on new hardware and and whatnot I would wonder if they would have to start from scratch to make one?
Murdius Maximus wrote: I mean on new hardware and and whatnot I would wonder if they would have to start from scratch to make one?
Its not new hardware, the next gen consoles are simply highly specialised PCs, just like the last ones.
No man's Sky looks suspiciously like a Spore FPS/arcade flight sim and we all know how Spore turned out..... It may be good but the game play featured in that trailer did not inspire me with confidence.

Perhaps the Eldar Scrolls Online is a source of their money worries?
I'd really rather have another Eldar Scrolls game than Fallout 4. Fallout has a cool setting but the combat was poor. While Skyrim's combat is hardly masterful it's fun enough to keep you going through your playthroughs.
Co-op option for the next Eldar Scrolls game please.

...wait what. Excuse me, but as a huge Skyrim fan myself, the "battle system" in Skyrim is utter garbage. At its best times. Fallout and its VATS system are leagues ahead of Skyrim combat-wise.

It's coming to PC as well as PS4. Imagine if the game is moddable.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy
Both systems have been mediocre since their respective launches, and this year's E3 changes none of that. In the end, neither system offers much that you can't get in better quality on PC. Bloodborne might be enough to get me to buy a PS4, but that's more because I'm a hardcore From Software/Souls Series devotee.
Nintendo, on the other hand, has been running circles around the competition with their offerings this year.
Yeah... all of those 'franchise' hits leave me cold.
I actually may buy a WII U simply to play mario kart 8 and then give it to a random kid on the bus simply because mario kart is so amazing.
And did someone say new legend of Zelda?
None of the franchises for xbox or sony seem to have this type of impact on the market.
