Xbox One's Lineup is Already Stacked for 2020

Ainsley Bowden for SG : "While it’s rightfully expected to take years to see the full benefits of those investments, what’s surprisingly impressive is the lineup that is already confirmed for the Xbox One in 2020. Let’s take a look at what we know is coming over the course of the next twelve months."

[masterfox]

Yikes that's the list ? oh well.

[CaptainHenry916]

The only one that really stand out is Ori. I'm not even hyped for Halo: Infinite. Going to do a wait and see approach with Microsoft. Not to mention a lot of those games on the list are not exclusive

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Hell Blade 2, Halo Infinite 2, Forza 8 widely different AAA games plus I think its about time PG new FableIV to get announced next year. The fact is 2020 will be a very significant year for year for gaming from Sony and MS. We should all enjoy gaming in next year.

[dekke]

@AngelicIceDiamond

Halo infinite 2 ? when 1st one is releasing 2020 or maybe never and jesus forza and maybe another stateofdecayforzaminecractcros splaybundle and best plays on switch :D

[lifeisgamesok]

PS4 is more stacked
TLOU 2
Ghost of Tsushima
FF 7
Dreams
Nioh 2

[alb1899]

I think you should wait untill GT and TLOU 2 are out to talk about them because you know you won some argument last year with the same games and you aren't playing them....do you?
Plus, all this games will be on gamepass day one.......what do you have to say about that?

[MonChiChi]

Huh? These game are releasing next year. I know you don't want that but it's happening.

[alb1899]

Monchichi, what a gamer won't want TLOU 2 release?
I know is not me
But isn't it true that they were part of your list last year?
So.....

[chiefJohn117]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[PSGuardian]

Great, I can support these great developers by buying Game Pass for $1.

Well from both those PlayStation developers I think you’re crazy to argue their follow up games won’t be amazing given their track records.

[lifeisgamesok]

TLOU Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima look amazing and are slated for early enough in the year that we can guarantee they are 2020 releases

And as mostly a physical gamer, I couldn't care less about Gamepass

[RosweeSon]

Crackdown3 that is all.

[chiefJohn117]

Nioh not my cup of tea
Dreams is this game guaranteed to come out? It's been 7 years since it was revealed
FF7 not a FF fan I don't see the appeal
GOT game look great must buy
TLOU2 solid game still overrated imo.

[thatguyhayat]

You know dreams got a release date right? Everyones entitled to their opinion

[Tetsdah]

I think Dreams Early Access is out if that has any value in this exchange.

As for the other games, it's matter of quality and production. Now comparing particular taste...

In all my opinion
Cuphead is overrated
Ori is a pretty indie/arcade game
Halo is overrated
I'm still on the fence about bleeding edge.

As for the the writers point oh, I think that next year stacked on quantity of games. As for quality in comparison to budget oh, I'm not so sure. But hey everyone is entitled to their opinion

[chiefJohn117]

Ya I know it just been delayed so long. It is an ambitious project tho. Right it's all opinion at the end of the day. Some get so enraged at the fact not everyone like every single exclusive. Like Spicyram. He PM me mad as hell calling me a Xbox fanboy for not being interested in Nioh or FF and calling TLOU overrated roflmao, I didn't even call it bad. if you don't love every thing PlayStation these ppl act a fool. He had nothing to say for me loving Ghost tho (surprise surprise)

[DarXyde]

"Nioh not my cup of tea"

Congrats. It sold quite well and is well received. Halo is not at all my cup of tea, but I'm not going to disregard a popular gamer for my own predispositions in an argument.

"Dreams is this game guaranteed to come out? It's been 7 years since it was revealed"

Well, that's telling. You didn't even know the release date was announced?

"FF7 not a FF fan I don't see the appeal"

Again, congrats. It's only been a huge hope for many fans since the PS3 tech demo, but sure, write that off too.

"GOT game look great must buy"

I was wondering when you were hoping to cover your bases.

"TLOU2 solid game still overrated imo"

There it is. You're welcome to that opinion. I feel quite similarly about both Red Dead Redemption games, GTA 4 and V, Gears of War after 3, God of War III, any Halo game (though admittedly, I've only given the numbers entries a try), and Hellblade. Doesn't give me any reason to argue against the acclaimed quality others enjoyed from there.

You're one guy on N4G, not the resident authority on public opinion. Disagree with the list and move on.

[Tetsdah]

@chief

That's rough.
But yeah, that's why I kept it relative to production size n scope for the system. That can give us lil more than personal opinion. I think next year x box is stacked on quantity, but not so much on production quality.

Shame that you are getting pm'ed over a difference in opinion

[chiefJohn117]

@Tetsdah that's good. If that's the case then ya the release date should stick.
Cuphead definitely aint for everyone lol
Ori should play it one of the best platformer ever seriously.
Ya I gotta play bleed edge to form an opinion on it. Some game you know is for you or not for you. This one is hit or miss it all depends on the mechanics. I feel like it'll play like plants vs Zombies. Which was my surprise liked game on ea access

Halo fair, I didn't like Halo my first 2 times playing it.(halo 2) It wasn't until I had nothing but a weak PC with not many games to play. I decided to buy Halo 1 after the hype of halo 3 and fell in love with it. Had PS3 been cheaper and I never bought halo CE for that PC I never would've gotten a 360. I never recommend jumping in MP directly on a shooter your trying out or in the middle of a campaign which is what I did my first time trying out halo. Gotta play it fresh from the beginning story.

@DarXyde Wtf does sales have to do with my opinion? Fortnight sold gangbusters yet it's not my damn cup of tea. I'm not discrediting anything the game isn't for me. Just like I said Forza Motorsport ain't for me I prefer arcade racers. Damn you ppl always think someone has an agenda. Yes I know the there's a release.
-_- so now my like for Ghost is fake. Gtfoh

Right and that's fair. I know many that don't like Red dead and I understand why. Hell I think gears of war is overrated myself.

Who said I was authority? If I wanna comment my opinion I'mma do so who TF are you to tell me I can't?

[The Wood]

Its weird and asinine to criticise the date you hear about a game or its concept yet totally ignore the company that has released next to nothing for the majority of the generation. Wasn't crackdown announced years ago with the power of the cloud behind it.........?? please stop. Gimme a late game with quality over nothing at all or on-time games that are weak af

Priorities

Claiming what doesn't interest you is something silly I hear too much. Yes its your opinion but its coming off like a downplay. I'm not an ori or cup head fan but I respect their worth. Quality is quality even if it doesn't tick my personal boxes. You're downplaying games that you haven't played either and for the stupid reason of when it was announced. Level up man

[chiefJohn117]

@TbeeWood EXACTLY!!! I said the same thing about crackdown after the 2nd delay. Even when it was given a release date I said I'll believe it when it released. So thanks for helping prove I'm unbiased. Which is more than I can say for some. Won't see me bash something like streaming then have nothing to say when someone does it. If I have a criticism I'll make it regardless and will be consistent with it. When I give credit its blown off as fake and when I say something simply as not my cup of tea it's considered downplay and hate, give it rest. Meanwhile y'all opinion valid tho? Just stop with the double standard. Come to to think of it. The article is about Xbox not PS to begin with lol so save it.

[Elda]

The full game of Dreams release date is Feb 14 2020 at a price tag of $40.

[DarXyde]

chiefJohn117,

"Wtf does sales have to do with my opinion? Fortnight sold gangbusters yet it's not my damn cup of tea. I'm not discrediting anything the game isn't for me. Just like I said Forza Motorsport ain't for me I prefer arcade racers."

I'll make it simple for you. Stay with me now:
- lifeisgamesok stated that PlayStation is looking more stacked (opinion, of course; I happen to agree).
-You replied, essentially dismissing his statement from your own perspective.
- I am telling you that the sales and reception of Ni Oh would suggest that, contrary to your own position, Ni Oh 2 is a reason to be excited for PlayStation next year.

"Damn you ppl always think someone has an agenda. Yes I know the there's a release."

...Then why would you ask if Dreams is guaranteed to come out? It recently had an open beta.

"-_- so now my like for Ghost is fake. Gtfoh"

No one was talking about your like of Ghost of Tsushima (you cannot like something you've yet to experience), but I am calling into question any genuine excitement. I might be wrong, just saying that I don't believe you. No big deal, really.

"Who said I was authority? If I wanna comment my opinion I'mma do so who TF are you to tell me I can't?"

Who said I said you can't? I'm saying that you're acting like your opinion on the titles listed by lifeisgamesok carries a lot of weight. All of the games s/he mentioned are titles from reputable studios/franchises. You can disagree with the idea that PS4 has a better year ahead and that's fine, but something with a bit more substance than "meh" in the face of highly anticipated titles would at least give you the benefit of the doubt.

[chiefJohn117]

[Wasabi]

@Gravedigger

That's a pretty stacked lineup for sure, I'm especially looking forward to Ghost of Tsushima and Dreams, but isn't this an article about the Xbox lineup for 2020?

My grandfather used to say that "it isn't possible to make your own candle brighter by putting out other peoples" so I'm not sure why PlayStations 2020 lineup is relevant in an article about Xbox - other than to try and downplay and undermine what looks to be one of the best years in a while for Xbox gamers?

[Imortus_san]

Two AAA First Party games only!?

[rdgneoz3]

"so I'm not sure why PlayStations 2020 lineup is relevant in an article about Xbox"

Probably due to the xbox article listing games that are multiplat (coming to ps4) next year, as being part of that "great lineup"...

[Wasabi]

@rdgneoz3

***"Probably due to the xbox article listing games that are multiplat (coming to ps4) next year, as being part of that "great lineup"...***

No.

Not one of the "multiplat" games featured in the article are present on Gravediggers list, that would have made the list at least partially relevant.

***"Since in article are 3rd party deals, this is for PS4 then next year :

Dreams PS4 - Feb. 14th
Iron Man VR - Feb. 28th
Final Fantasy VII Remake - Mar. 3rd (Exclusive until 2021)

And also 3 possible GOTY's for sure"***

This is yet another example of a small contingent of users on N4G attempting to control the narrative and turn every article into a discussion about how brilliant PlayStation is in order to appease their own insecurity and have their biased opinions qualified by other users, the comment is off topic and should be marked as such.

I like PlayStation and it's exclusives as much as the next guy, but I'm sick to death of not being able to discuss anything else.

[gravedigger]

@wasabi

"but isn't this an article about the Xbox lineup for 2020? "

My post was referred to lifeisgame's post.

[Imortus_san]

6 years of waiting for TLOU 2 and Ghost of Tsushima, FF 7 is a multi platform release, Dreams is an a low budject game jsut like Concrete Genie, Nioh 2 is a multi platform Game release.

[AspiringProGenji]

Oh no games take time to make... how long you been waiting for halo 5?

[gravedigger]

Yeah, but Halo, Forza, Gears, Cuphead, Ori and other crap aren't multiplatform games? They don't count?

[lifeisgamesok]

When you have other good titles releasing it's ok to wait for some games

FF7 will be only on PS4 for 2020

Dreams still looks like quality, it's a platformers dream (no pun intended)

Nioh 2 might be a console exclusive

All of these will carry the conversation that PS is the best

[rdgneoz3]

*Nioh 2 is a console exclusive.

As for Dreams, look at some of the games people have made. It's insane what people can do with it.

[Imortus_san]

@gravedigger - Sorry if Sony only as one OS that's PS4 at the moment, because Windows is a Microsoft OS making all those games are truly Multiplatform and not Sony Exclusives, and I'm not counting PS Now.
PS: Cuphead and Ori are not Microsoft first party games.

@AspiringProGenji - never liked Halo games, so I didn't wait for it, but it took it less time to release.

[Xavi4K]

the article isn't about PS4 or comparing the two consoles so why you start now go and enjoy your ps4

[Elda]

Yep...all AAA games.

[ScootaKuH]

Stacked? Nah

[monkey602]

I'll keep an eye on Session and Wasteland looks amazing but I'd rather play it on PC because of its nature.
Ori isn't for me but I appreciate it's a good game.
Overall fairly bland list I'm my eyes.

[MonChiChi]

Stacked.. hahaha

[timotim]

Pretty good list of games. Good fruit is coming.

[rdgneoz3]

A good list with multiple multiplat games...

[timotim]

Yes...ya see, I'm NOT looking at this list with fanboy glasses on...im looking at it for what it is...a list of games being produced or published by XGS for 2020...thats all. I dont care about what platforms this, or talking points that...just looking at the games in totality and seeing that good games are coming from Microsoft and their studios...

[Dragonscale]

The only thing stacked is the new xbox design lol.

[CaptainHenry916]

Definitely the funniest design I've ever seen from a *console*

[goldwyncq]

It still looks better than the original fat PS3.

[sampsonon]

yuk! this is the best they can do? stacked with trash.
someone needs to show MS what a real AAA exclusive is.

[Minute Man 721]

As long as it's better quality games that Uncharted 4 and Second Son. We can hope. Check my PSN beat both games. Disagree if I'm telling the truth

[rdgneoz3]

Like Scalebound or Fable Legends...

[Minute Man 721]

ScaleBound looked like a 360 title and never a fan of Fable

[chiefJohn117]

I try most of em out with game pass but Ori, Grounded, Halo, cuphead and Minecraft dungeons I'm buying. More of a Horizon fan than Motorsport.

[PSGuardian]

I guess, maybe. Not surprising when you starve your fan base for the bulk of the generation.

[mark_parch]

I really hope they announce a new killer instinct as a launch game for series x

[Gaming4Life1981]

Nice variety of games coming out.

[Inzo]

Mmmm...... that's it?

[Thundercat77]

Looks like that fantasy Xbox articles season has started. Expect to see many nonsense articles about the "greatness" and "market domination" of xbox.

It happened last year too.

[Automatic79]

I love the variety. A good game is a good game no matter what package it comes in. Good luck team Xbox. Love passion and conviction you are showing. 2020 is going to be EPIC for all gamers.

[Goozex]

Nioh 2 and lou 2 alone are worth more than stacked ms games imo

[Sitdown]

To you; believe it or not, some people could care less for those games.

[Segata]

Witch what? None of that is very compelling. If Halo and Forza didn't push it over the edge the last few times, it's not going to this time either. Ori is neat but other than that the rest looks like filler and Minecraft Dungeons is on other platforms. Once again their lineup pales next to Sony and Nintendo's offerings.

[Vasto]

Xbox going hard in 2020.

That is not even counting the Game Pass titles we have coming every month and also Project X Cloud coming to Windows 10 and Xbox One.

All Eyes On Xbox

Best Xbox lineup in 10 years set for 2020

[lifeisgamesok]

I'm looking forward to seeing Halo Infinite and Ori WOTW but to call this their best lineup is a stretch

[Elda]

Really?? LOL!!

[derek]

Barren wasteland like every xbox year, especially when put up against what Sony's got coming out. Another alternate reality article regarding xbox.

[SkatterBrain]

Stacked with What?

[Elda]

Okay!!

[Imortus_san]

Ori and Will of the Wisps - March 11th
Bleeding Edge - March 24th
Battletoads - 2020
Cuphead : The Delicious Last Course - 2020
Gears Tactics - April 28th on PC
Flight Simulator - 2020
Halo Infinite - 2020
Tell Me Why - Summer 2020
Forza Motorsport 8 - 2020
Grounded - 2020, Early Access Begins in April

Wasteland 3 - May 19th (also on PS4)
Minecraft Dungeons - April (also on PS4)
Psychonauts 2 - Summer 2020 (also on PS4)
Crossfire X - 2020 with exclusivity on Xbox consoles
Session - 2020 with 3 month exclusivity on Xbox consoles

Ups looks like the console that as no games as more Microsoft Published Times lined up for 2020 then the Competition.

[Proexposed]

Is it just me but I don’t really care about most Sony exclusives bc there mostly single player games and a lot of them I beat in a day or two then never touch them again. I’ll rather have multiplayer exclusives that I play for months to a year.
