Microsoft did a lot of things wrong when they launched the Xbox One….a lot of things wrong, but one thing they did right, and certainly better than its key competitor, is the launch lineup. None of these games will be remembered as genuine classics a few years from now, but as a versatile, entertaining and consistently enjoyable selection of games, the Xbox One’s was unquestionably better than most and certainly better than many would have you believe.
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
Available right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC is Hatsune Miku - The Planet Of Wonder And Fragments Of Wishes.
Oh, I remember this one on the Switch. Super charming art style, absolutely zero substantive action in the gameplay, basically a glorified minigame collection, and not even an extensive one at that. A bit odd that is coming to Xbox of all places, given that it`s the only modern platform that doesn't have access to a actual Project Diva game.
Sorry but Ryse is just awful, the XBone's Lair
Dead Rising was decent but no classic or console seller
Forza was a good game ruined by the over greedy DLC pricing, after paying $60 you have to pay another $60 for the bulk of the content.
Anyway launch is a long time in the past, now the XB1 has only 30 and some games while the PS4 has about 70 games with better average review scores and wider variety
The only people who don't think XB1 has the best games right now are just too prideful to admit it. The variety and fun factor has been great. If we are looking at games I can play on XB1 you can't play on your ps4 it's not even close.
Fighting - KI
Racing - Forza 5
Action - Ryse, Crimson Dragon, Halo Spartan Assualt
Zombie- Dr3
Creative - Project Spark, Zoo Tycoon
FPS - Titanfall, PvZ
Adventure - Max COB
Family/Party - Kinect Sports Rivals, Powerstar Golf
I think it's safe to say the list above beats out the competition. Almost every genre is captured on the XB1.
Also before everyone calls me bias... Please tell me why I'm wrong, don't use your favorite art of deflection. Tell me how resogun, towerfall, don't starve, KZSF, infamous ss, knack, and a few more indies are better than the list above.
To me it has been the best launch I have been a part of for sure. Not only tons of exclusives but almost all of them have been great. Forza 5, Titanfall, Peggle 2, Ryse, Dead Rising, Max, Plants VS Zombies, Kinect Sports Rivals have all be so much fun.
And although it missed the launch window, Super Time Force is probably the best bullet hell game ever created.. it is that good!
Hard to complain about games on the X1.
Lets be honest. No launch lineup evrr shows off the capability of the system as devs are under pressure to get their games ready for launch. IMO this is why Forza felt watered down in terms of content. They wanted to show off the power so it has to look amazing but even the most hardcore xbox fan cant have missed the diference in content between this and horizon.
The beauty of next gen is that the absolute gems are about to drop. Watch dogs, Halo, Uncharted, The Order, Spark, Zelda U, Driveclub etc etc all these games will put to shame any launch lineup as the devs are given time to put some love in and ensure they are optimised to the best of the respective consoles power.
It's not bad. The Vita's launch lineup was the best in years though.
