Is PS4 Exclusive Line-Up Really Better Than Xbox One?

The PS4 exclusive line-up looks way better that Xbox One (with the exception of TitanFall, although the game will arrive on PS4 at somepoint later). Here is list of Six PS4 exclusive games that will Xbox One owners will feel jealous of. Furthermore, Sony has already confirmed that at GamesCom 2013 they will announce over 25 PS4 exclusives and most of them will be AAA titles and not just indie games.

ShugaCane4361d ago

I haven't played any on them so I can't say if it's better or not. But it definitely looks more appealing, and more varied to me. Knack, Infamous, Killzone, Driveclub. Platformer, Action game, Shooter, racer. Plus all the Indie games. It's way more attractive in my opinion.

jimbobwahey4361d ago

The Xbox One lineup holds more appeal for me, mainly because of Forza, Titanfall, Killer Instinct and Project Spark.

Still no way I'm touching that console though.

Panthers4361d ago

I was so excited for Killer Instinct, until I saw it and saw that they dumped it on some no name developer and made it free to play.

Its just a quick cash in to shut the fans up who have been asking for KI for a while.

Gazondaily4361d ago

Yeah Forza, Titanfall, Killer Instinct, Project Spark....those games kook incredible. I was all set to buy a PS4 first but that lineup is gonna make me get the X1 first. Unless the PS4 comes out a few weeks earlier.....in which case I don't think I can help myself lol.

majiebeast4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

You have a quake avatar but dont own a pc that can play Titanfall? Why else would you buy it on xbone KBM>Controller anyday.

SuperLupe4361d ago

Same for me, MS convinced me with the launch games so getting a XOne first. I dont see any reason to rush to the PS4 right now. I'll give Sony a year.

Plus by that time they would have come out with a slimmer version and a price cut. Its all win win for me.

InMyOpinion4361d ago

Dead Rising 3 is the only exclusive that would make me consider getting an Xbox One.

s8anicslayer4361d ago

Septic has an identity problem, he's all over the place depending on which way the wind is blowing. Dismiss his blasphemy for he does not know what he's talking about.

minimur124361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

alot of people seem to be forgetting the F2P games, these are the day one downloads lineup for f2p on the console

Warframe
Blacklight Retribution
Planetside 2
DC univers online

how does this sound now? :D

Along with all of the indies you get for free when you buy PS Plus, which are exclusives to PS. (Timed, I believe)

Outlast
Don't Starve
Secret Ponchos
Driveclub (limited tracks, and cars)

Fireseed4360d ago

@Panthers

So all the members of the fighting game community who are declaring it's the next great fighting game are wrong? And the fact that you're declaring it's F2P even though that's long been proven false. I've personally gotten to play the game and can say it's fucking amazing. So sorry, go attempt to shit on another Xbox exclusive cause KI is fucking gold.

Dmagic4360d ago

@ wintersoilder stop the lies the few people in the fgc that got to play it said they had "fun" with the game no one ever said it was great or the next coming of anything. in fact they did a poll and 80% of the fgc said they would not buy a xbox just for ki.

Dee_914360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

Its really a toss up for me for which ones are more appealing right now.XBOX One im really looking forward to forza and ryse and titan fall but titan fall isnt really an exclusive and I have a feeling its really a timed exclusive for the xbox one...PS4 ofcourse Infamous Drive club and KZ all look promising.. they both have really good games, and if MSFT didnt try to pull that stunt I would get a xbox one on release date hands down.But I cant forget that, so im gonna wait and try to get a used one.

How ever debating which ones you think are better is completely useless and a waste of time.The real question is which console has the most, and most varied.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34360d ago

Majiebeast thinks this http://www.youtube.com/watc... looks better than any Xb1 exclusive? Lol, I cant take people like you serious. It doesn't even look better than this http://www.youtube.com/watc... let alone this http://www.youtube.com/watc...

4Sh0w4360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

Eventually I'll have all 3, wii-u just hasn't had anything compelling for me to start next gen, I'll wait for a price drop. I'm definitely going to get X1 first, probably ps4 later on. I wasn't impressed with anything exclusive to sony. KZ seems to have lost its identity from what it was in KZ2, Knack looks good, infamous trailer looks great just haven't seen any gameplay, I dont know what Hokokum is but indie games dont sell me a console since both have good ones, The Order only showed a trailer and Driveclub looks like just another fun racer but I prefer GT and Forza to keep me playing for a year+.

Xbox one had alot more impressive games Ryse, Titanfall, Killer Instinct, Forza5, Dead Rising3, Project Spark all were standouts for me all showing gameplay. I can't wait to se what Remedy is doing with Quantum Break and insomniacs Sunset Overdrive is definitely on my radar. Initially though Im picking up X1 for KI, Forza5, DR3 and Kinect Sports Rivals to play with my kids.

lgn154360d ago

Thank-god you included "Still no way I'm touching that console though." or you would have been down voted into oblivion. Smart guy.

gaffyh4360d ago

PS4's LAUNCH lineup is DEFINITELY better than the Xbox One's, because most of the games MS showed at E3 are NOT launch games. TitanFall and Halo are definitely 2014 (or later), and nothing was confirmed for Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive.

So yes, Killzone Shadowfall, Driveclub and Knack, and all the free 2 play games does make a better exclusive launch lineup.

The fanboys can deny that all they like, won't make it less true.

Now regards to the overall announced exclusives, Xbox One I believe does have somewhat of an edge (if you include TitanFall as an exclusive), simply because they announced a lot of games that are late 2014 games, whereas Sony held back on announcing stuff too early. In fact, I believe the latest game they announced was inFAMOUS which is Q1 2014.

IMightBeRetarded4360d ago

Gamescom and tgs are where sony will show even more of their exclusives, as for microsoft I really doubt they have much left to show.

Gazondaily4360d ago

@majie

Who said I don't have a PC that can run Titanfall? I game on PC too.

What's wrong with playing Titanfall on consoles? Yeah KBM is far more accurate but I like being able to relax and play on the sofa.

How do I have an identity problem? So because I'm not a fanboy that only restricts himself to one platform, I don't know what I'm talking about?

Urusernamesucks4360d ago

@Panthers
killer instinct can be bought full with all characters. Free to play is only option and your just being naive if that bothers you.

NumOnePS3FanBoy4360d ago

I'll say once and I'll say it a million more times "considering MS' track record this generation, I doubt they will continue to cater to the hardcore gamer after the xbone's first couple of years" I trust sony's playstation a lot more because they have released a steady stellar exclusive line up since second half of 2008 up to present day. I know Sony started late this gen but they have had a great track record for the past 5 years. Xbox on the other hand... dry, dryer than death valley dry.

LaChance4361d ago

No matter how much it hurts N4G, and no matter how many disagrees I get Im gonna say it.

The truth you all know deep down inside but try to suppress.

The XOne lineup is at this very moment is superior to the PS4's lineup.

What Sony has going for them is the hype for the hardware, not the greatness of their launch lineup. MS got that on a lockdown right now. They know how important it is to get great games rolling out early in a consoles lifecycle. Thats what they did last gen and by the time the PS3 was out they already had too much momentum.

Disagree all you want but hey we all know some truths do sting and its just more convienient to ignore it.

Blastoise4361d ago

I will disagree, thanks. Because I can genuinely say I think the PS4's lineup is looking better than the Xbox ones.

jimbobwahey4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

To be fair to Sony though, they're still putting out great games for PS3 whereas Microsoft has long abandoned the 360.

If Sony did what Microsoft is doing, and cancelling games for PS3 to move to PS4 (like MS moved 360 games to Xbox One to fill out the launch lineup) then it would really be no contest with The Last of Us, Gran Turismo 6 and Beyond Two Souls launching on PS4 along with everything else.

So on that note, I really can't fault Sony for supporting all of their customers, especially when Microsoft gives theirs the finger.

hkgamer4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

Not sure if MS paid for these exclusives(which i don't really care if they did) or promised them DRM. But if MS did promise them DRM and then backed out of the idea then I guess some of these exclusives may end up on the PS4.

Or maybe they just have a better relationship with MS.

PS4 line-up does look a little more varied and has lots of indie backing them. But we all know that alot of gamers dont care for indie or even a varied list since they will never play thos

@jimbobwahey
But at the end of the day they haven't and you cannot compare last generation to this generation. Some of the PS4/Xbone buyers will not have the previous generation games.
Let's just hope that Sony decides to port these over to PS4. Once I purchase my PS4, I will probably stop buying PS3 games.

@zod18
Gamescom will probably show alot more sony 1st party games. We know that Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and other studios will show something.

ZodTheRipper4361d ago

It's better at the moment but we all know that this is going to change once Sony's first party announces it's games. Also, you can't be sure about the exclusivity claims on some X1 titles.

majiebeast4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

Infamous:SS>Anything shown for the xbone. You know its true.

2cents4361d ago

I don't disagree with you having an opinion, but I do disagree with you trying to project that opinion on others as all your asking for is a fight.

Who's to say that someone that believes Sony's offering is stronger due to personal preference is wrong? No one as it is an individual choice. The real question is how many stand combined on either side, then we could have a debate about the majority votes and what key titles cause the sway. Far more intellectual and interesting debate than a dumbed down fanboy argument about who is better.

nypifisel4361d ago

We don't know either consoles full line up yet. In my opinion neither got that killer game I really want, yet PS4 games look better in my opinion and I'm still getting a PS4 though. The hardware is way more appealing.

crazyeightz4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

@LaChance

Absolutely agree 100% with everything. MS really effed themselves in the face with this one. On the strength of exclusives alone, MS could have offshoot whatever disadvantage it had with a SLIGHTLY inferior machine. Heck I was in line to buy an XB One on the mere fact that Titanfall was announced as an exclusive. But MS's PR idiocy and this whole forced Kinect business caused me to now change with PS4 instead.

Projekt4361d ago

I respect your opinion, but not your arrogance.

pixelsword4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

@ LA:

That's your opinion, just like how this article mentioned the opposite; it's no shame liking one over the other, but you shouldn't put your opinion out as fact because just like every other opinion, it's a weak foundation to stand on.

MikeMyers4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

@LaChance,

That's the thing, people on here kept harping on the Xbox for not having games for the core audience and now that they've shown they are indeed coming to the Xbox One what do people do here? Talk about everything else besides the games.

Forza 5
Killer Instinct
Sunset Overdrive
Minecraft Xbox Edition
Quantum Break
D4
Project Spark
Ryse
Titanfall
Dead Rising 3
Below
Kinect Sports Rivals

Yet people want to say those games are not diversified? When you have a community largely made up of Playstation fans you will get very a very biased view, and that isn't healthy for any real debates. Sony also has great games coming out too such as Infamous: Second Son which looks incredible. But instead of members talking about how great these games are what takes precedence here? Console wars and lots of Xbox hate. I'm not even talking about just the Xbox One but Xbox and Microsoft hate. We have members here who have done nothing but troll for years and are ramping things up leading to the launch. Most likely because they feel threatened. Otherwise they wouldn't care about a system they don't plan on supporting.

If the biggest complaint about the Xbox 360 was the lack of games then talk about the games coming to the Xbox One. Otherwise it was all just another tactic where the goal posts keep moving.

Microsoft has invested in more game studios and have more games in development right now than at any time in the history of the Xbox. Everything gets reset to zero and so far the launch line-up IMO looks better for the Xbox One. I have no doubt in 2014 the PS4 will have an awesome line-up of games but many of them won't be out until 2014 or later that interest me. Gaikai is also not coming until at least 2014. Right now GT6 and Forza 5 are on my must have list and only one of them is coming to next gen systems.

BlaqMagiq244361d ago

I'll respect your opinion but don't you sit there and say that what you're saying is the truth. It is purely subjective.

MysticStrummer4361d ago

Tell the truth and it may sting, but what you said is entirely subjective.

In my honest opinion, the two best things MS showed at E3 were a multi plat (MGS5) and a timed exclusive (Titanfall), neither of which will be a launch title.

My most anticipated PS4 game so far is also on PC (Planetside 2) but it's a launch title and it will never be on One because it's made by SOE. That game alone makes PS4's launch lineup better to me.

Also, how did MS have too much momentum when they ended up coming in third again? They launched first out of three, and ended up third out of three. That's some truth that stings.

ABizzel14361d ago

@LaChance

I agree, currently the Xbox One line-up looks better, but that's because they showed the majority of their 15 exclusives games for the first full year November 2013 - November 2014.

Thus far we've only seen Sony's first party PS4 games for launch - launch window, and their exclusive Indie games besides maybe The Order (my guess holiday 2014). Sony has already said they have 20 / 30 exclusives planned year 1 and we haven't heard from Naughty Dog (Uncharted Team), Guerilla Team 2 (New IP), Team Ico, Sony Japan's PS4 game, and a bunch of their other teams many of which are switching to two game teams this gen thanks to the ease of developing PS4 games vs. PS3.

Everyone said wait for E3 so MS can show game, and we did and they did. Wait for Gamescom and TGS for Sony to show games which they are generally the only console manufacter to show-up with E3-like showings at these conferences.

jessupj4361d ago

Oh would you please shut up. There is no 'truth'. The better line up is all subjective.

Sony hasn't even shown their full hand yet, we still have gamescom and TGS.

But I hope you're enjoying your 360 that has gotten a measly 3 decent exclusives in the last 2 years. And enjoy your xbone when MS does the same thing and stop releasing games once they trick enough fools like you into buying it.

When you're doing that I'll be enjoying superior multiplats and amazing exclusives on a superior console.

medman4361d ago

LaChance is lost. He's one of the unfortunate souls who doesn't realize that many of Sony's best first party developers have projects for the PS4 currently underway that haven't even been announced yet. So, much like this gen with the PS3, many of gaming's games of a generation will be unavailable to him. I feel sorry for these folks who have no idea what they missed out on. Excuse me, I shall return to my Survivor playthrough of The Last of Us. Good luck sir. PS4.

GoodnessGreatness4360d ago

I don't see Xbox having better first parties than PS4. Sony has some of the best 1st party developers.(Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studios, Media Molecule, etc.) All Xbox One can depend on are timed exclusives and third parties.

pabadamus14360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

@blaqmagiq
Your comment wins and it makes the most sense. What is good, better or best is purely subjective. Fanboys are wasting their breath trying to assert their opinions as fact. All in a futile effort to justify their online existence.

The truth (as of right now) is that both consoles have a pretty lackluster 'day one' launch offering with the bulk of the interesting stuff coming 'launch window' and beyond. I would say that Sony may have the slightest of an edge with its handful of downloadable/indie titles that can bolster what is ultimately an uninspiring launch lineup.

But that is my opinion and it doesn't mean a darn thing. People will disagree and have their own opinions and that is ok.

gaffyh4360d ago

@LaChance - You are a known Xbox fanboy, but please see my comment above. The best games for Xbox One are 2014 games, NOT launch games. PS4 launch line-up beats Xbox One's EASILY at the moment, until MS actually confirms which games will be AT LAUNCH.

They announced a lot of stuff at E3, but they HAD to, which is why the had barely anything to show for some games. e.g. Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Halo, Below.

JRPG Exclusive will be the decisive factor,
is there any JRPG exclusive?

hkgamer4361d ago

Level-5 hasn't announced anything yet I think, so maybe they will have something for next gen.

Atlus probably won't release anything yet, not for another few years anyway.

FFIV:RR is hardly a JRPG and not really exclusive but looks promising.
Hiroyuki Ito director of ff6,9&12 hasn't done anything in a while so maybe he has something up his sleeve.

Tri-ace hasn't done anything for a while. Maybe they release something related to the tech demo they showed a few years back.

All hopeful thinking, but hopefully something will be shown this year. I want some decent JRPG. Hiroyuki ito directed JRPG would be a dream come true.

MuhammadJA4361d ago

Titanfall & Dead Rising 3 will come to the PS4 eventually.

Manic20144361d ago

Titanfall if successful then most likely the sequel will come to PS4 not the first one and as for dead rising 3 the franchise was ought back by MS so you cant really expect it to coe to PS4 but it ay come to PC.

RedHawkX4361d ago

yep titanfall defenitley is coming and not just the sequal lol. that would just be dumb bioshock came over, mass effect came over even the first one so people need to stop being stupid please

medman4361d ago

Does anybody really care about those games? I know I don't. Titanfall is not my kind of game. I need a singleplayer story to sink my teeth into. Dead Rising 3 is a poor excuse for survival horror when compared to a masterpiece like The Last of Us. Ok, unfair comparison...Dead Rising pales in comparison to Left for Dead. Better?

sandmanswers4360d ago

So you've played Dead Rising 3? Sony fans live under a bridge

brave27heart4360d ago

My own personal opinion is after the clusterflock of MW2 the guys at respawn can keep walking. I didnt see anything in Titanfall that makes me want it. BF4 looked better, Planetside 2 looks more unique.

My opinion.

Also I think people should buy a console based on the games you think will come in the future. If you love the core MS franchises then theres a good chance the Xbox 1 will be good for you. Personally I dont think MS will ever have as diverse a catelog as Sony, nor take the risks on stuff like LBP, Journey or Heavy Rain.

also dont forget ps4 has free games day one at launch like warhammer, dc online and such so you dont even have to spend a penny to game right out of the box. also it has playstation home as well.

avengers19784361d ago

I think in the long run PS4 will have more and better exclusives, and we haven't seen a lot of the PS4 games that are on development.
Both systems are bringing the games early but will MS continue to do so? It's hard to say....

Jaces4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

As of now the bone looks like a sweeter line up but we've yet to see all the PS4's exclusives so I'm hopeful. Yet I'm getting the PS4 day one, M$ has really put a bad taste in my mouth after E3.

strifeblade4360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

Exclusives wise microsoft has it hands down.

Driveclub vs Forza 5
Killzone Shadowfall vs Titanfall
infamous second son vs dead rising 3
Knack vs Ryse
The Order vs quantum break

Looking at it from this perspective i take xbox one exclusives to their playstation counterpart any day.

On top of all that msoft confirmed these other exclusives:
Sunset Overdrive
D4
Killer Instinct
Below
crimson dragon
Project Spark
unnannounced black tusk game
Halo 5
lococycle

MYSTERIO3604360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

I thought deep down was only suspected to be an exclusive, has there been any confirmation by the dev that its exclusive? I only heard them talking about the playstation version but maybe at gamescom they will be more specific? Yes your right about ffiv, and wasn't the dark sorcerer a tech demo? quantic dream is known for making a few tech demos over the years that dont materialize into games.

MYSTERIO3604360d ago

I personally thought Sony showed a decent lineup at E3 and with 20 Exclusives set for the first year Sony doesn't seem to be disappointing.

I know I'm going to be hammered by both sides, but in all honesty, both consoles are laking in exclusives at launch.

Driveclub or Forza... don't care for driving simulators.
Knack... meh.
Dead Rising 3... meh.
Killzone... another pretty brainless FPS... not really that interesting.
Ryse... not sure about this game.

It would be great if Infamous, Titanfall (brainless FPS but i like what i see and not really a exclusive) or Quantum Break were release at the consoles launch.

Edito4361d ago

I just want to ask one thing, what FPS in ur opinion is not brainless???

STK0264361d ago

The old-school Rainbow Six games!

Mr-SellJack4361d ago

Farcry3,rage,resistance,origin al crysis,portal1,2killzone2 ,metro and bioshock aren't mindless fps imo and are the best this gen in offline replay value

fermcr4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

Half-Life series, Portal series, Deus Ex series, Farcry series, Bioshock series, etc.

hkgamer4361d ago

I agree that the list is lacking. But which console launch had a better line-up?

Looking at consoles debut launch titles (only looking at titles that were released on console debut on first released country.)

N64 had Mario 64.
Snes had super mario
DC had virtua fighter
PS had Ridge Racer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

After looking at the list, it looks like original xbox had the best launch line up.... everything else was lackluster.

Mr-SellJack4361d ago

Pretty much agree launch games are worthless best thing is to buy ps+ and an open world game(AC,batman or watch dogs most likely)

Hellsvacancy4361d ago (Edited 4361d ago )

The Order: 1886 sounds interesting, but havnt they already confirmed it wont be a launch title?

Its gameplay I wanna see

thehitman4361d ago

Ya they are still in very early stages of development it probably wont release until fall 2014 or maybe early 2015.

thehitman4361d ago

Whats with the disagrees? Someone has a source it will release sooner?

ChipdiddyChip4361d ago

At this time and moment, I think the Xbox One has a more appealing exclusive line up than PS4.

The Order: 1886 Sequel Would Have Featured Larger-Scale Battles & Multiplayer

Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, TLOU, Motorstorm. Great times. Its a shame how far they've fallen this generation

Muigi16d ago

Oh they still do…its just the whole game now 😂.

-Foxtrot17d ago

Why add multiplayer when the single player (despite enjoying it for what it was) had flaws?

You'd work out the issues with how you craft the single player then once you’ve perfected it do multiplayer after.

"Two sequels were planned for the franchise, The Order 1891 and The Order 1899. While the third game was never in development, Weerasuriya says he had planned where the story of the franchise was planned to go, if he had been able to develop the full trilogy."
...
Alas, we'll also might never get the PC version of 1886, which is currently residing in some dev's hard drive, nearly ready for a release if required.

Charal16d ago

It’s a shame we didn’t gave its chance to this franchise.
Game world was very interesting, and gameplay could have evolved to a major hit with sequels.
Not even speaking about graphics that were way ahead of their time.

Reaper22_16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

If "we" is sony, i agree. I liked the game but it was metacritic that contributed to it's death. It's a shame.

AshleeEmerson16d ago

No, we are "us," the gamers who rated it so low on Metacritic, hurting... Killing its sales. I agree it is a shame. I loved this game.

Charal16d ago

No it is not, it is us has a community which crucified this game, which is happening much too often.

CrimsonWing6916d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I think MP being co-op would’ve been awesome. Essentially, I always viewed this as Sony’s take on the Gears series.

However, it really failed to measure up to what I expected. I definitely saw the potential but there were some things that really bogged it down for me like the forced slow walking segments (which I know was to hide loading), the repetitive warehouse werewolf fights, not enough variety in enemies, oddly we fought more humans than Darkstalkers, and the stealth sections were infuriating.

One thing there’s no denying though, this damn game was a looker. Such a shame at the wasted potential.

The Order: 1886, a Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Leo Faria: "After finally playing the now decade-old The Order: 1886, what do I think about it? Is it really worthy of all the hate it has received over the past decade? Or is it some kind of hidden gem? I honestly think it falls somewhere in the middle. I loved the setting, the story is initially fine, the combat isn’t half-bad, and the potential for some awesome world building was there. It was all bogged down by too much ambition against a tight deadline, as well as poor marketing. As a result, it’s short, full of plotholes, infested with QTEs, and not exactly memorable as a whole. As a game you can grab for less than ten bucks today, I absolutely think it’s worth checking out. It’s one hell of a wasted potential, but for such a discount, I had some fun with it, and I’m sure you will too."

With investigations, creepy locations to uncover and explore, people to talk to and even recruit, clues to uncover and connect, monsters to slay, side quests to get lost in, and a more expansive lore to go with it.

Instead we got a shitty AAAAAAAAA Third Person Pew Pew snoozfest. Awesome.

The order 1886 was one of the best games I played on ps4. Within a top 5 best ps4 games I'd put the last of us 2, the order 1886, days gone, horizon zero dawn and God of war.

"The order 1886 was one of the best games I played on ps4. Within a top 5 best ps4 games..."

Jesus H. Christ, bud. You just sound like a Sony apologist. What the fuck? Anyways. Good luck with that or whatever.

coolbeans113d ago

God. The "what could've been" you're describing would've been way better than just being the most empty cinematic shooter slop of that generation.

SimpleSlave113d ago

Right? I mean, I can understand people enjoying this thing ironically. Knowing that it sucks but still enjoying it for what it is. I get that. That's fine. We all have our guilty pleasure no doubt. But to come here and actually pretend that this is a top 5 PS4 game? Wow!

To pretend that this barely there game is anything more than an "empty cinematic shooter slop of that generation," as you said, is beyond ridiculous. But I guess Self-Awareness is some expensive ass DLC still.

Espangerish113d ago

I really enjoyed this game and also think it was one of the best PS4 games. It’s weird to me that this makes you so angry. I’m not a Sony fan at all by the way, very much pc player.

SimpleSlave112d ago

"and also think it was one of the best PS4 games"
"I’m not a Sony fan at all by the way, very much pc player."

Yeah, OK. You want to lie to yourself? You do you, bud. But like I said to the other Sony apologist, "good luck with that or whatever."

-Foxtrot112d ago

Jesus, it had some flaws but you're acting like it was unplayable.

It built a foundation, a rocky one but a sequel is where they could have refined things.

Personally my only issue is I feel like the "Gears of War" like over the shoulder gameplay, especially getting into cover and the like didn't really fit the game as much. In Gears you understand that kind of gameplay because they are wearing super heavy amour and guns but in the Order these guys are super human, they should feel more of a breeze to control, easily jumping over things and being allowed to climb whatever similar to Uncharted.

Im back again to simp for The Order, if ya like games well grounded in their reality with consistency in everything it does then I recommend it if ya haven't played it. Play it thru emulation or on your PS it don't matter just play it.

1nsomniac113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

A great game run down by the media for it's price vs length - Which was understandable, but it shouldn't of been the be all and end all.

At the right price this was a great game & deserved a sequel!

thorstein113d ago

Exactly. What a weird metric that suddenly was important and then, within a few months, no longer mattered.

andy85113d ago

I enjoyed this. I think the complaints were the length if I remember. Nothing wrong with a short good game, at least to physical copy owners 😅

Rebel_Scum113d ago

Put the thing on PS plus already!

The Order: 1886 Dev Pitched a Sequel to Sony, But Was Denied

I can't believe sony turned down a sequel to the order 1886 which ended basically on a cliffhanger. The game is amazing and I would love a ps5 pro enhanced version just like I'd like a driveclub ps5 pro enhanced version.

DodoDojo122d ago

About 2 million sales and not the greatest of reviews, I can believe it.

Tbh there's a lot of dormant Sony exclusives that are more deserving of a sequel.

ravens52122d ago

Have you played it? Just curious.

ABizzel1122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

2 million probably wasn’t enough to make a strong profit on, and the mid reviews didn’t help, even though it was a solid game just short, and could have expanded way more on the creature mythos.

Days Gone: +7 million / mid reviews (no sequel)
Infamous SS: 6 million / mid reviews (no sequel)
Killzone SF: +2 million (4 mo.) / mid reviews (no sequel)
Driveclub: +2 million (2015 / leaks say 5m) / mid reviews (no sequel)

Basically it looks like for the PS4 generation budgets were getting out of control and Sony made the decision

sales + reviews - budget = sequel or no sequel

goken122d ago

Whatever the number, can’t be worst than concord

SimpleDad122d ago

Glad that Alloy Lego is doing great.

Toecutter00122d ago

Two million in sales for a new IP is pretty impressive. The world-building was in a class on its own. Any moron could see this IP had mad potential and the fact that Sony balked on it makes one question their competence and leadership.

Cacabunga122d ago

Nothing to do with sales. It’s all about the broken vision that Sony is having lately.
Days Gone sold great but they still don’t want a sequel to it.
Sony wants Easy money and they saw it in gaas and lazy games like lego horizon and countless remasters..

Idky you can’t believe it.
This game was shitted on by everyone besides some PS fans.

Don’t blame Sony on this one. Blame everyone who wanted to see this burn. Sony does a lot of stupid shit with their IP and waste a lot of them like bloodborne and days gone, but don’t be surprised with this one.

Outside_ofthe_Box122d ago

Exactly. I came to post exactly this. The game was torn apart upon release. It's not shocking that a sequel was denied.

S2Killinit122d ago

Not “upon” release. There was a whole campaign “prior” to release.

In my opinion they should have made it a bit less linear and it would have been great. I did enjoy it. But the reception it got makes sense that Sony wouldnt want to risk a sequel if it was going to open up a can of worms with people who wanted the first one to fail.

Christopher122d ago

I played the game. I 100% believe Sony turned down a sequel.

blackblades122d ago

Well pretty obvious when it was left on a cliffhanger. Many sequels get turned from companies as someone else said above blame the SOB's that always whining.

Sabbath1313122d ago

i 100% agree with you, both of those games were amazing

Bathyj122d ago

What's so hard to believe? Don't you remember this game was crucified by the media.. it was DOA. It's a shame because it was a really fresh new IP it was gorgeous and a play really well . it had some issues but it wasn't the only game with qte repeated bosses and a playtime under 10 hours.

It was panned because of the graphics hype. Kind of similar to Ryse and hellblade 2...although the story was pretty interesting in all 3.

As a matter of fact I think Indy's success is partially due to the fact the graphics were not hyped up pre launch.

It’s strange though Sony would be so proud about their work and overall quality but wouldn’t give them an extra year to, give them that quality.

Anyway he talks about if it was in the 70s they’d have had their sequel but Days Gone is at 71 on Metacritic and we don’t have a sequel.

Both games should have one, I think they deserve a second chance at refining and building onto that foundation already laid out.

neutralgamer1992123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Definitely days gone 2 should happen. Who knows maybe now Sony will let them make it since bend had to cancel its live service game. Days gone 2 for PS6 sounds amazing

As far as order 1886 sequel it would be have been interesting. I think if this game was a RPG with 15 hour story it would have done so much better. Don't get me wrong game is great but you can tell the potential is there if they were allowed to make some drastic changes

Sadly this new Sony is not the PlayStation they are suits and spreadsheet guys. Playstation has lost its touch with gamers. I miss Shawn jack Andrew house etc

At the launch of PS4 Playstation was at its full strength with gamers running the company but not anymore. No we have a guy who loves horizon above every thing else and is willing to fund projects based on that IP

Redemption-64122d ago

So an IP that actually sell? Sony moved away from the type of games you saw during the launch of the PS4 because many gamer didn't support them. I hear people crying more about say Japan Studio closing than actually supporting their games when they were open. Wasn't it shawn layden who said many of these games fail and you hope a few like horizon to make up for the failed games. Maybe if gamers actually supported these games there would be more of them. Shocking right?

Redemption-64122d ago

There is no sequel for Days Gone because it didn't sell. The director himself said "If you love a game, buy it at f****** full price. I can't tell you how many times I've seen gamers say 'yeah, I got that on sale, I got it through PS Plus, whatever'.”

Majority of the sales from days gone came from when it was heavily discounted, and I have seen many gamers say they will not pay full price or the game isn't worth full price, but they will buy it when it's discounted. Yet they get triggered when the studio decides to move away from a game they refused to support at full price

jwillj2k4122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

What this is showing is that the majority of people don’t like the price. It doesn’t mean they don’t like the game. Two different dimensions.

Example: The company Take Two took advantage by selling NBA 2K at $20, completely undercutting NBA live to become the most popular basketball game. High priced games isn’t the only way they can make money.

-Foxtrot122d ago

Well. If we are going to go off that director apparently Days Gone hit 8 million sales around the same time frame that Ghost of Tsushima later did.

https://x.com/JakeRocket/st...

One was considered a failure, the other a massive success so I don't think it just boils down to sales.

Redemption-64122d ago

@Foxtrot

Hey, maybe you clearly know more than the director/writer. If memory serves me right, Days Gone went on sale faster than Ghost. Also, please know budget is a major factor. There is a huge difference between Ghost with a budget of $60M selling 8M, vs Days Gone, with a budget of $250M selling 8M after major price cut. One can be considered a success, because it had a much lower budget.

Don't Complain If a Game Doesn’t Get a Sequel” If You Didn’t Buy It “At F-cking Full Price, clearly shows the game didn't make the money it needed to make within the time frame it needed

Redemption-64122d ago

@jwillj2k4

What is shows is majority of gamers didn't think Days Gone was worth the $60 price tag and clearly Sony agrees with them. You can like a game, but if you don't think it is worth the price tag, why do you complain when the company decides to not invest in a game you don't think is worth what they are charging? They should release the game, lose money, cut the price and then you will support it?

jwillj2k4120d ago

Reading is fundamental. I said start with a reduced price not cut the price after you’ve already released it. It was an example to show how there are other ways they couldn’t make money. The idea is that number of buyers is much greater at $20 than $60. I didn’t think I had the point that out to you.

Redemption-64120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

@jwillj2k4

The number of buyers being greater at $20 than $60 does not equate to more money. You literally have to sell 2-3 times more to makeup the difference. Starting with a reduced price for an AAA that costs say $250M is pure stupidity and again would have to sell 2-4 times more depending on the reduced price break even. Or include micro transactions. They can make it into a free live service game with mtx. Yeah, you are right, maybe they should follow the route 2K NBA took

Clearly many don't think the game is worth $60. Who knows maybe the remaster can give it hope. But it would be funny if they get a sequel and people refuse to buy it at full price. Highly doubt those who think the game isn't worth 60, will be lining up for 70.

Days Gone deserved so much better than 71. I’ve noticed that some PlayStation games get attacked and it feels generated. Like money is behind the hate campaign.

-Foxtrot122d ago

Days Gone was that one game which wasn't really attacked by gamers but by journalists.

As soon as it was revealed they really didn't like it for some reason, it was made out to be because it came across as a generic looking open world game or another generic "zombie" game but at the time we had plenty of open world games and a fair few "zombie/infected" games that these journalists didn't bad an eyelid towards.

When the game released broken before the Day One patch it just gave these journalists a massive excuse to slaughter the game in their reviews.

On one hand, a game shouldn't have released in that broken state or at least they shouldn't have given journalists a copy without the Day One patch HOWEVER these are the same journalists who usually gloss over that kind of stuff with so many other games, take Star Wars Outlaws for example, the game was a buggy, broken mess at launch with plenty of issues, bad AI, some clear performance issues and a lot of quality of life improvements needed but it still did a lot better than Days Gone at launch.

Personally I think they knew they could get away with it more because Sony Bend weren’t that high up and respectable, they knew calling their game out as much as they did wouldn't hit them with any major consequences unlike if they hypothetically were like this towards NaughtyDog, Sony Santa Monica or Insomniac.

RaidenBlack123d ago

Yea and there was/is a PC version of 1886 too in 2016 ... but now maybe collecting dust in some dev's hardrive.

Relientk77123d ago

That's lame. It's not perfect, definitely a flawed game, but deserves a sequel. You already have the first game as a starting point just need to improve upon it. This could have been a much better sequel like the jump from Assassin's Creed to Assassin's Creed 2. The IP has potential.

S2Killinit122d ago

But Assassins Creed sold a lot.
