With the Scalebound cancellation and now Crackdown´s delay, i hope they have some heavy weight announcements to make. Still excited for the X. :)

Would be nice to have some new exciting 1st party. Showcasing games doesn't mean 1st party, even though we will see Forza and Sea of thieves. But as Woolly keeps saying: it's all about me getting an X.
I am sure there will be more that enough games to hold me over. Don't expect anything new this year from Gamescom. But if they do there is no guarantee it would be something that interest me. I then to like well done big games.

ONESHOTV22871d ago (Edited 2871d ago )

Bigpappy----so you are saying that the only reason to buy a console is that for first party games? or the 400$ I spent on hardware would be useless? and lol because the last time I checked I didn't buy the PS4 to play any first party games so think about how your logic is flawed.

Razzer2870d ago

Apparently, Oneshot bought a PS4 so that he could not play any PS4 games. That is the logic in his head so....

Shin-Zantetsuken2870d ago (Edited 2870d ago )

@ONESHOTV2

So why did you buy a PS4 if not to play exclusive games?? I am genuinely curious because you can play multiplat games anyhere including Xbox and PC. Similarly why would you but an Xbox if not for exclusives because multiplats can be played on PS4 and PC?? What is the point and logic of buying a console and especially multiple consoles if not for exclusives? Consoles are all about exclusives because multiplats can be played anywhere and they work much better on PC. Man fanboys sometimes dont even think what they are saying when they are in defense mode. Lol

darthv722870d ago

I bought the ps4 for single player games and the xbo for multiplayer. Neither were based on exclusive games alone.

LandoCalrissiano2870d ago

Shin, you buy an Xbox for the multi-player community, the same reason the 360 was so popular.

They need to in order to ignite more interest. E3 showed no new games from them outside of Ori and the Blind Forest 2.

yeahright22870d ago

Gotta say I like this new moldy. far more objective and makes points that will help xbox rather than blindly praising them no matter what.

good on you sir.

Kingthrash3602870d ago

Lol I know huh....finally he sees the true way to help xbox

LandoCalrissiano2870d ago

Seriously? I think you need to re-watch e3 if all you got out of it was Ori and blind forest 2

_-EDMIX-_2871d ago

Based on their recent performance, I don't really know how much to expect great things. I'll still watch what ever they have at Gamescom, but I'm not holding my breath.

ULTp0ltergeist2871d ago

Well, what better way to announce a Crackdown 3 delay right before a potential event of great news? Or it's just one way of mitigating as much damage the delay has caused with a lot of mediocre news.

MatrixxGT2871d ago

If the US was my strongest market i would have used E3 to announce the best news. I wouldnt hold your breath for anything outside of "already known about" games, bundles, maybe some more UI features.

Godmars2902871d ago

They have to. Thing is when will they come out?

notachance2870d ago

am I the only one excited they gonna have an announcement for Age of Empires?

obidanshinobi2870d ago

LOL.
Heavy weight announcements ? with Phil Spencer at the helm ?
I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe another old PC game debuting on XB before it releases on PS4 a few months later.

optimus2871d ago

Well the limited edition Project Scorpio version (it actually says it on the controller) just leaked so I'm guessing they will have some bundle with that....I do hope they announce some games that were not announced at E3. At this point they need some good press going into Nov.

Bronxs152871d ago

Man if it's forza sea of theves gears 4 in 4k and more 3rd party games that'll be on PlayStation like anthem or metro it won't be exciting at all.

Hopefully first party has been working on things. Maybe see a new gears or halo if that's the case. That's all they really have 😕

MatrixxGT2871d ago

I feel like if 1st party had something cooking they would have announced them 2 months ago at E3. Even a teaser would havs suficed if the hadnt been in a state to show off at the time. The US is their biggest market and im sure more people in that region pay more attention to E3 than gamescom.

Bronxs152871d ago (Edited 2871d ago )

@guilty spark
If recore was a big exclusive for my system I wouldn't boast about it either...

Bronxs152871d ago (Edited 2871d ago )

But I will say at this point. Even if they show off something I won't be too excited. Because they showed off:
scalebound and it never materialized.
Recore: nothing to brag about. i hated it. People try to give it a pass saying it launched at a lower price. But uncharted lost legacy is also launching at a discounted price and is miles ahead in every way.
Sea of thrives: unexciting to me. I'm not big into multiplayer. I don't even have ps plus
Master chief collection: launched broken
Crackdown: originally showed off how long ago?? Still not out.
Halo 5; worst story campaign by FAR in any halo
Cuphead : can only maintain excitement for so long. How long ago was this showed?

Point is even if they show off something, with the track record this gen I'm skeptical of them

All that being said I've really enjoyed gears 4 quantum break ori and the blind forest and sunset overdrive on Xbox one this gen.

rainslacker2871d ago

We know what MS 1st party is working on. Forza, Gears, and Halo. That covers all their studios that are substantial enough to make AAA games.

If MS is working on any AAA games, it's going to be from 2nd party, or purchased deals like they did with Mass Effect back in the day.

hamburgerhill2871d ago

I don't mind 2nd party or deals like with Mass Effect. Would be much better though if the games were strictly exclusive.

indysurfn2870d ago (Edited 2870d ago )

Maybe they will announce SWITCHBOX! Or XSWITCH....... I kid I kid. Please don't kill me!

rainslacker2870d ago

@hamburger

I have no problem with 2nd party games. Things like Spider-man(although that's kind of a 1.5 party thing since they contracted the work), Bloodborne, QB, Bayonetta 2, etc are perfectly acceptable ways to gain an exclusive. The console maker finances the game, and publishes it, so to me, it's essentally the same as a 1st party game without the overheard of maintaining the studio.

Nothing wrong with it, and didn't mean to imply it was bad. At least MS is investing in gaming, and bring value to their system, which is really all that's important.

Your defense force is sad. I'm glad you aren't on XBL. Spoiled whiners are the worst.

Bathyj2870d ago

PlayStation gamers are pretty spoilt. Theyre like rich kids whose parents give them everything. They want for nothing.

Xbox gamers are treated like crap yet somehow mistakenly feel grateful for it. They're more like an abused spouse. They stick out a crappy relationship because they think they can't do better. No one should put up with that.

SirBradders2870d ago

@Bathyj that is so true LMAO

shuvam092870d ago

Hope they will...
I remember that old lady announcing on stage of around 17 1st party titles currently in development...

opinionated2871d ago

They need a miracle. Even my friends that swear by Xbox are skeptical. I'm happy with my custom gears slim but if you having trouble with these guys you know you need to bring out big guns and surprises. Better resolution just isn't enough anymore.

SkippyPaccino2871d ago

Phil isn't even showing up, so I wouldn't expect miracle... Probably just a recap of what's upcoming with most likely a Halo CGI trailer

opinionated2871d ago

Really? It's odd that he won't be there. You would think these shows would be a priority getting ready for a launch. Don't get me wrong I'm super hyped about state of decay 2 and cuphead but are they really going to launch a new console on a 4K assassins creed? AC:O looks great too (finally) but you're going to ride on a third party title? Nah there will be some surprises in the next few months, there has to be lol. Besides a new avatar system..

Cyberpunk 2077 finally hit that sweet sale price for me so I went ahead and picked it up. I just started playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 though so it’ll be a while before I delve into Night City. Looking forward to it though.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils3h ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 5h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

DarXyde5h ago

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.
