Xbox One: Greatest Games with Quantum Break

With the most award-winning exclusives, all of the biggest blockbusters, and an expanding library of Xbox 360 titles available now on Xbox One, this is the greatest games lineup in Xbox history.

[christocolus]

The hype is real. Quantum Break can't arrive any sooner..

[lxeasy]

I can't wait for Quantum Break, Remedy is so talented!!!

[christocolus]

Yup. They are talented and Sam lake and his team are really good at telling stories. This is the most ambitious project they've ever embarked on... Just 2 months now. :)

[donthate]

QB and Gears 4! I cannot wait!!!

[jb227]

Do you think we will see much more of it before release? All told there hasn't been a ton of footage released, especially for the reworked version. I wish they'd release a direct feed hd version of what was shown in Brazil. That was my favorite section released so far, love seeing how the time manipulation works w/ platforming, and the way the environment breaks down & deforms when rewinding & fast forwarding time. On one hand i like it when devs don't show their entire game before release & on the other hand I'd love to see more of the game in action.

What's the word on that MS event that was scheduled for February (if memory serves)? Will there be an XBO section for gaming or a conference?

[christocolus]

Yeah, there will be an xbox and windows event this month. Feb 25th to be precise. I'm sure there will be some new footage of QB, Gears and a few other titles there. QB is a cinematic action game and quite heavy on the narative side so I'm sure they have to be really careful with what they show to the public so as to avoid any spoilers. There will be a major media blow out soon though and I expect we will start to see a major marketing push for QB as we get closer to the games launch.

[jb227]

@christoculus

Thanks for the info...I knew it was coming up soon & I remember MS doing Windows events around the same time in the past but there was never a big focus on Xbox whereas it seems like I recall them saying that this year would be a lot bigger for games.

I would just like to see one quality gameplay story trailer really. I'm all for Remedy holding back the goods for the game proper. I always dig a good story trailer w/ its quick clips of action & different environments though, those are perfect for getting people hyped & curious and for fans to dissect while not revealing much in terms of the full game. I'd really prefer something like that over a new full gameplay section I'd say. Hopefully they show something cool for Gears & I'm dying to finally see what Recore gameplay looks like if they are close enough to show any off. That game has crazy potential if the early talks from the devs are anything to go by. Should be a great show all in all, looking forward to it.

[Genuine-User]

My second most antipicated game is drawing near :)

What a year gamers have ahead of them.

[christocolus]

Nice.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

QB for sure is on my radar. Though I wish MS would update the games list however.

[Picnic]

Well it can't arrive any later.

[OpieWinston]

The game montages MS does are brilliant. For advertising, and the press events.

[jwillj2k4]

I thought you already had the greatest games lineup in Xbox history last year. Is this a take back, or is it just an annual thing? Can I assume that 2017 will also have the greatest line up in Xbox history?

[DarXyde]

PS4 is the most powerful console ever created.

Eventually, that will be false. Same logic.

Additionally, it was the "greatest lineup in Xbox history". That actually makes great sense. History, meaning what has come to pass. They didn't say 2015 was "the greatest lineup Xbox will ever have".

[uptownsoul]

"PS4 is the most powerful console ever created." -- Good statement...Sony should use that

[uptownsoul]

"Greatest lineup in Xbox history" -- compared to what though? Are they saying that those 7 games in this Xbox One commercial are better than all the 360 games combined?

@Why o why

"nah, just in a single calendar year." -- The 7 games in the commercial are from 2 separate calendar years

[Why o why]

uptown

nah, just in a single calendar year. Personally I think the 360 had better years but that's debatable and dependant on tastes.

[Why o why]

uptownsoul

my mistake

I went off last years add but now they've extended the titles.

[DarXyde]

uptownsoul,

As it stands, yeah, PS4 is the most powerful console ever created. That is, until (maybe?) NX is released or the next Xbox and PlayStation. The Nintendo 64 was the most powerful console ever created once upon a time as well.

And I'm sure it's very obvious that Microsoft meant the best lineup at any single point in Xbox history. They did, after all, have a new Halo, Forza, Fallout, Tomb Raider, and Star Wars release within a month of each other. Obviously, quality is debatable, but it's obvious that's a matter of opinion.

[rainslacker]

Contextually, it was the greatest lineup for a holiday season. That's how MS used the term anyhow.

[ScorpiusX]

No they are Saving 2017-2018 to reveal the greatest Xbox Console in Xbox history ...... which i look forward to

[OpieWinston]

You do realize the "Greatest games line-up in Xbox History" was referring to their LINEUP of games, not just last years games.

[jwillj2k4]

If this is true, then what are they comparing it to? The 2014 line up? Xbox 360 Lineup? If its the former, its an obvious fact based on the number of games in 2014. If the later, than its obviously false.

[Why o why]

nah bro.. when they aired the add it was last years games. It was a line up, NOT as library/catalog

[Why o why]

seems it is actually saying in their history which is definitely off the mark by a long long shot. Even if we counted half of last gens xbox games it would amount to a greater lineup.....more variety and quality. This ad is confusing.

[rainslacker]

It was just a line that allowed them to insinuate that they had the best games to play, and people should choose an Xbox. While the initial quotes were about the best holiday line up, they left it pretty open for the gamers on forums and the consumer to decide what it meant, because all they cared about was people thinking they had a bunch of great games coming.

[spicelicka]

They weren't referring to the games released in 2015. They were referring to the Xbox lineup announced last year E3 and onward.

This included Forza 6, Tomb Raider, Halo 5, Fable, Halo wars 2, Gears 4, Recore, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown 3, and Sea of Thieves. Not all these games have released yet (obviously).

It's a concurrent slogan like "greatness awaits" for PS4. It'll stay like this until they say something new this E3.

[uptownsoul]

But its not a concurrent slogan. The word Greatest in "Greatest Xbox lineup" indicates greater than something. This Xbox lineup is greater than which previous Xbox lineup?

[spicelicka]

^ Greater than all previous lineups invested in an E3, what don't you understand?

IMO It's really the best lineup this year of any system as far as AAA games go.

[Dark_Crow]

It's called advertising. It's meant for people to talk about it and possibly get excited. It's working wonderfully as people still remember the last lineup and that's the goal of advertising.

Wish the PlayStation was doing stuff like this with their games.

[rainslacker]

Point of advertising is to get people to buy stuff....at least when it comes to a consumer product.

If they want people to associate Xbox with the greatest games, they aren't doing a good job, because it's not really a slogan that's catching people's attention, and even the hardcore Xbox fans seem to think that there were greater line ups in Xbox's history.

People are over analyzing what it's supposed to mean, hence, the slogan isn't becoming something you're going to see on everyone's mind and commonplace...like "where's the beef"...unless that thought is of a cynical nature and isn't really all that catchy.

If people are questioning what it means, then it means they don't get it, and if they don't get it, they probably aren't getting that excited over it. People just aren't remembering it for the right reasons, and to me personally, I feel it's way too subjective of a statement to avoid the fan boy arguments, so within the community, even though it's getting talked about a lot(which is a good thing), it also allows the discussion of other great line ups which exist due to the nature of gamer forums...so it's also giving their competition some attention to those that would read it.

[Letthewookiewin]

I find it odd they are staying with this slogan after the defeat they were hit with last year. On top of it MS doesn't have half of what Sony has coming this year or anything that will eclipse their library.

[Lenrulesdaworld]

Defeat? lmao this is not a football game bruh. It's a great slogan, they already have more 1st party variety this gen than they have had all of last gen. Without many timed exclusives. They'll continue to produce new games as well. Expect these games to be announced either on feb 25th or E3.

Fragment
Young Conker
Roboraid
Phantom Dust
Possibly Jet Force Gemini

Remember you heard it here 1st

[christocolus]

@letthe

What does your comment have to do with the video in this article? Insecure much? Or just plain trolling? Smh

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Really wish people like you would stay in your own lane and intruding If you have nothing good to say or constructive criticism then I suggest you stay clear. Its that simple. your statement is all a matter of opinion.

[Fin_The_Human]

Get out of here you...

[Free_Fro]

chills down a man's spine...

xoxo

[Eonjay]

"this is the greatest games lineup in Xbox history"
I wonder how long they can drag out the PR line before it becomes a meme of itself.

[Dark_Crow]

Well I'm sure it will. Just like greatness awaits.

[DragonDDark]

Greatness came and we are waiting for more. Aren't you?

[Lenrulesdaworld]

Funny people always get on MS for what they are doing to promote their content. Yet the most people commenting never plan or have no interest in buying an xbox one. So why comment at all, it's a great line up that all went platinum. This years seems even better than last on top of that. More games to announce as well.

[bleedsoe9mm]

until its not true

[rainslacker]

It is the greatest PR line in Xbox history, so I guess until they come up with a greatester PR line like, "We don't suck like we did two and a half years ago." That would probably serve them better right now, since there are still lots of misconceptions about what Xbox has to offer based on early policies. At least then they would force people to wonder what they're talking about instead of ignoring what is apparently just another buzz slogan. Would help capture more of the mainstream gamer who don't follow this stuff much.

[Free_Fro]

That marketing tag sure makes a lot of people here uncomfortable ^_^ ..

xoxo

[Why o why]

uncomfortable or just amused or intrigued. We're all familiar with pr speak. I wouldn't have the energy to pick the bones out of it but it's definitely a catchy marketing tag. Ms were always very adept at marketing their products.

[Lenrulesdaworld]

it has indeed struck a cord my friend

[Rookie_Monster]

That is why I bought a XB1...to play games like QB, Gears 4, Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC, Forza 6, Halo 5, Forza Horizon 3, Crackdown 3 with Live cloud compute that can't be played anywhere else.

Can't wait for April!

[Why o why]

lol....whats up with feburary and march ;)

[Morgue]

You mean you haven't played the waiting game?

[Why o why]

yeah and I was chastised for it... circa 'holidays' plus rookie is my boy

[Lenrulesdaworld]

Most people are still playing the holiday line up, as well as Ark. Which many are waiting for in june. It's already out paced the pc version, Cobalt just dropped today from mojang, then QB in april. With the xbox/win10 event in february to show what else is coming console exclusively. Next big AAA exclusive for both is in april.

[christocolus]

@Lenrulesdaworld

You forgot Killer instinct Sn3. It is planned for march.

[spicelicka]

Meh, still busy with the bountiful fall of last year. Good thing Halo 5 gets new free content every month. February and March are covered don't you worry;)

[Rookie_Monster]

@Why o why

"lol....whats up with feburary and march ;)"

Hmm, Primal instinct, The Division and KI season 3 on my XB1/PC and SFV for my PS4/PS4, the new DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider on my XB1, new maps to play online with Halo 5 on Dedicated fast Live servers perhaps, and continuing playing games like Fallout 4, Forza 6, Xenoblade X my other backlog on my PC, XB1, Wii U, PS4 perhaps?

Anyways, me and why o why are just having fun with words..so no harm there. :p

[Automatic79]

@Why o Why considering you were playing nothing but Multiplatform games From October to January. I am sure you can give Xbox Credit since some of us in the real world are still beating some games from last year. For the heck of it I will give you a response to your question.

January
Oxenfree
Zheroes

February
Fortified
Cobalt
Far Cry Primal
Plants vs Zombies

March
Killer Instinct 3
Gears of War Beta
Fable legends Open Beta
The Division

Here are a few games you can play on Xbox for the months leading into April a mix of Exclusives and Third party.

[Why o why]

Obviously my point missed its mark. Towards the end of last year we were told the holidays were more important than the rest of the year therefore the games released then were more important. That same logic of 'still beating games' applied to fans regarding 'the holidays' too. I was just making fun of the irony towards my pal rookie.

Just incase you still dont get where im coming from......the holidays were fine for many as the rest of the year had enough titles to cary over just like you've just applied to the months I mentioned hence irony mixed with a splash of double standards.

And yes, I knew there were games coming out in those months. Wordplay, thats all

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I wish they could just announce new games without all the superlatives every time.

[JasonKCK]

Quantum Break and BC are literally the reasons why I got an X1. I planned on just sticking with PC but I'm glad I got one.

[MachuchalBrotha316]

Im a huge Xbox supporter and I thought the video was wack. Why not use it to promote the upcoming games this year and get rid of that Greatest lineup crap. Every year cant be the best in history.

QB is the only new game on the vid. Where is Cup Head,Sea of Thieves,Crackdown,etc?

Edit: i know I'll get disagrees from my own community but its ok. We cant agree on everything. Someone needs to rewrite History..Lol

[Lenrulesdaworld]

theres no gameplay for sea of thieves and crackdown, they def won't use stage demo's either. They should continue using the line the entire gen, this will be MS most diverse and varied line of 1st part games and own ip's. And all their triple A releases have been highly rated and successful.

[MachuchalBrotha316]

True no gameplay but you can use a lil sneak peak of the characters or something. Why not promote some functionality aswell.

I own every game on the vid except for QB. And I bought those last yr. So I wanna see new games that all. My dislike for the video won't take my Love away from Xbox, I been vested since the original.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I actually agree with you. Though at the end of the day its just marketing but I would like to see updates to the games list. I get it MS is still trying to sell last years games and 1 upcoming AAA. They're probably gonna refresh everything after E3 and give us a new updated list.

[rainslacker]

They might be trying to make it into a generational slogan like Sony does every generation with at least one slogan. It's not quite as pithy, but I guess it does have the potential to generate buzz if it continues. Unfortunately though, it has the "boy who cried wolf" possibility if it gets overused, because if they ever do have some amazing line up, it's just going to be thought of as a standard slogan.

[Tsunade]

Here comes the "greatest games lineup in xbox history" again. If their holiday 2015 lineup failed miserably against the competition, 2016 lineup is going to be worst.

[christocolus]

“2016 lineup is going to be worst”

Hey it seems we've got a precog/psychic right here.

You are in many xbox articles always downplaying and trolling like there's no tomorrow.enough with the trolling and offtopic comments. Give it a rest dude. Can't you actually add some meaningful and reasonable comment to an xbox topic for once? If you hate Ms and Xbox so much then why not avoid articles like these? You hurting yourself dude.

[Max-Zorin]

The 2016 lineup is going to be the worst according to who? Some stupid Yoshida enforcer on neoGAF?

[Budrazor]

You can tell the haters are gnawing at the bone knowing how good Quantum Break is gonna be. They don't wanna see a more powerful Xbox coming which we know is on the way also.
