Playstation 4 and Xbox One Launch Exclusives compared (Gamescom edition)

Both Microsoft and Sony had their conferences at the on going Gamescom conference in Germany where both parties announced new games. Some of them were full retail titles while others were digital only. Indies dominated the show but fans of AA and AAA titles need not worry as they’ll get their due attention in time.

Fighter within. Round One....Flail!

[CRAIG667]

Looks awful, I certainly won't be spending my money on it.

[ChozenWoan]

am i the only one who noticed the lag.

Pay attention to when the players duck and when their char ducks. Not as bad as Kinect Original, but still bad. If this was a shooter it would be bargain bin day one.

[KillrateOmega]

Before this moment, I knew nothing of Fighter Within (I didn't get a chance to catch up on MS's Gamescom info), but then I saw that it was a Kinect game...and I saw what fights would entail in terms of player action...

I'm not excited for it.

[Anon1974]

Whaa? But you can jump off things in your environment around you while you flail, and a second later Kinect will say "Oh hell, they just did something different. Run jump animation!"

And didn't you see the 1:1 tracking? It's like those girls were really slap fighting INSIDE the screen!

All kidding aside, this looks freakn awful. It appears to have perhaps slightly more depth than Wii-boxing, but that might be generous. Glad to see devs are really stretching the limits of what Kinect can do.

[XboxFun]

It's the same as any other fighting game played by noobs, you mash buttons.

I think people shouldn't judge a game by this one video.

[NeloAnjelo]

No Kinect game should ever be defended. Assume it's bad first, based on the past disasters. Don't defend Kinect.

[CRAIG667]

The xbox launch line up is miles better imo

[GarrusVakarian]

Just like it was this gen. Then look what happened. Give Sony's 1st party devs some time to stretch their legs and see what happens.

[CRAIG667]

Yup I aint disputing that, but as far as which launch line-up appeals to me, the xbox takes it hands down.

Let's be honest though, Microsoft know they have a HUGE fight on their hands this gen with no 1 year lead, I don't think they will lay back and relax like last gen.

[spicelicka]

What do you mean "look at what happened"? You think both MS and SONY didn't see what happened?? Neither console is going to repeat the same mistakes they did last time and both are trying to compete more heavily.

MS knows Sony's exclusives are a huge selling point and they have already invested in many exclusives and 1st part studios. Sony knows xbox live was huge and they couldn't keep with it financially with free PSN so they've already invested in PS plus, which will now be required for ps4.

And both companies knew what Wii did with motion controls so they both made ridiculous investments on Kinect and Move.

If you really think anything is gonna be the same as last gen, you must really not be paying attention.

[TheFanboySlayer]

lmao meeh imo I think Xbox only has Forza, Ryse, and Dead Rising 3 that interest me. That's it for me. You only have Drive Club and Killzone SF for Sony that are semi interesting. But Sony has soo many digital free to play titles and Indies that it is reaaally tough and such it's hard to choose. I'm reeeally interested in the horror games that sony has like Daylight and Outlast but we'll have to wait and see.

[logan_izer10]

This is an incomplete biased list.

IGN has a real list here http://ca.ign.com/wikis/pla...

[jackanderson1985]

i do believe the title says exclusives that's why the list on both sides have been culled from the actual launch window releases

[GodGinrai]

personally I think X1 has the better launch line up for me.

Of course this post is going to turn into a fanboy fest. Personally I think you should all meet up and fight each other. ill watch and make sure nobody tries to break it up or call the cozzers.

[iamnsuperman]

I am more excited by the PS4 one but that doesn't mean I hate you or your opinion. Can I join you in the spectating. I will bring some food and some beer

[GodGinrai]

sure..just bring a bucket of KFC! and as long as the beer is budwieser!

EDit: I also respect your choice..Im also getting a ps4 in january, so ill only be a couple of months behind you guys ;)

[jackanderson1985]

the launch titles for the X1 win it for me due to personal preference but need a release date for infamous cuz that looks absolutely class

the F2Ps are gonna be fun on the PS4 though so that'll tide me over till infamous ha

[demonddel]

Sony wins again

[bligmerk]

Stop trying to make Ryse the next Halo.
It isn't going to happen.

[GodGinrai]

lol..everybody knows halo is the next halo...maybe titanfall..but not ryse.

[TheFanboySlayer]

Ryse isnt halo calibur yet because it's a new IP. I don't think it'll be that successful but I think it will sell moderately well.

[AznGaara]

I remember back in February everyone was saying "Crysis 3 is all graphics no gameplay! Crytek only knows how to make pretty games and their gameplay sucks! blah blah blah blah" But now that they're making an xBone title they're suddenly the best developers ever lol. Oh internet.

[spicelicka]

Since when was that happening? Didn't they say black tusk studios was making a game as big as halo? Also...there's the actual next halo...

[GodGinrai]

yeah, thats kind of what im thinking too ;)

[SkullBlade169]

I'm not a single bit interested in Ryse, QTE's seem like a completely stupid concept and it spoils a game for me.

[CrimsonStar]

So heavy rain , RE4,5,6 , and God of war qte are stupid as well to huh?

[SkullBlade169]

Yes, they are.

[sincitysir1]

Just enjoy the games wtv platform u decide to get. I'm sure many will get the other later on and will have many great games to look forward too!

[Joe913]

Launch to me is not really that important imo each console both have at least 15 games from 1st party how many games are ppl going to get on launch buying a brand new console plus a game I like the fact I can get Kill Zone and bout time I’m done infamous should be coming out.

[SillyYou]

What a fanboy and bullshit list. Where are the indiegames? The Ps4 Free2Play games? Planetside 2, Warframe, War Thunder, DC Uniserse, Blacklight Retrubution? That makes a huuge difference. Why is there Killer Instinct which is F2P in it but not the Ps4 F2P games?

[christocolus]

julia and the team..thumbs up to you guys..

[Xsilver]

http://n4g.com/news/1337608...
another big reason i'm sticking with my PS4 :3

[WeaseL]

Sony has just go it, and have not shown what there main studios are working on yet.

[iPad]

Reminds me of the 360's good launch lineup. Then after that it was all about entertainment apps.

Looks like the Xbox One is going in the same direction.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

No launch lineup is better..... What the hell are you guys going on about?

So we all clearly have both next gen systems and all the launch titles and have beaten them all to be able to compare launch line ups without just making an un justified fanboy comment to the system I like better.

Wait until the games are out and actually given time to be reviewed

[Master-H]

Microsoft seem to be winning in the quantity department so far , as for quality, aka which is better it is yet to be decided since the games aren't out yet and we don't have personal experiences or at least reviews to compare them, and even then it could be still argued that it is a subjective matter.

Never the less it's looking like a pretty awesome launch for both machines , especially when you add in the 3rd party titles and the f2p games coming (War Thunder looked beastly last night)and even the indies are getting love next gen.

[illustratedDEO]

Killzone:SF,DriveClub,Infamous ,Knack(maybe),WarFrame, the Order :1886 and Blacklight:Retribution.also to note more major titles are still unanounced

[Faztkiller]

I'm buying a PS4 not just cause of how many launch exclusives but quality and what I know is coming.

[worldwidegaming]

The same reason why many Nintendo fans bought into the Wii U. Its good to know people know how to wait.

[Magicite]

launch lineup doesnt matter, history will repeat and PS will have best exclusives eventually.

[CrimsonStar]

So you admit , as of right now they don't then ?

[Magicite]

I am JRPG fan in general so until at least next year, neither PS4, nor XBO, do not make me even slightly interested in purchase of any of them.

[GoodnessGreatness]

People talk about what's the best launch line up but that doesn't matter for PS4 because we all know Sony has Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studios, Media Molecule and wide range of developer support in the long run.

[CrimsonStar]

LOL!! no one ever said they didn't , but were talking about launch titles not what's going to be released in the future .

[Max-Zorin]

You fanboys are the equivalent to kicking a Hornets nest.

[worldwidegaming]

I have to say that Microsoft knows business when it comesto selling the xbox one. They did a 180 once they realized all of the features were not going to work out. That part is Dusted and done, nothing to see here!
The starting line up has games I WISH to play rather than
lets see if I like a game that looks like it was a tech demo turned into a game.
Can someone sell me "Knack?" rather than say "because" or "graphixs man!"

I will most likely buy a ps4 for multiplatform but xbox one for exclusives. (both reserved.)

if anyone says "the good games come later" I say
yeah, I been waiting for Nintendo for awhile now!

[JackStraw]

i really don't get what people see in ryse.

[KingKelloggTheWH]

Visually its characters are pretty good, but its made by Cry so Im not interested..their games have never held me

[NarcolepZZZZZZ]

Every time I turn on my 360 I'm like "xbox on", then I get sad and press the button. Come on November...I want a one. I also want a four but it'll have to wait.

[KingKelloggTheWH]

Both systems have much more they are launching with, this list should be disregarded.
