Xbox knows it has to improve its first-party offerings, and with a bunch of new studios hard at work, does Xbox have the most exciting next-gen lineup?
MS has already said it won't have first party exclusives for the system for the first 2 years. So every first party exclusive you can play on xbone as well. Unlike Sony, who will have next gen exclusives and make full use of the system. Should be interesting to see what exclusives both companies put it to get people to upgrade to the next gen.
The first years are always dry for PlayStation to start so does it even matter. Also, third party devs can make exclusives and chooses to just focus on sides X.
Halo Infinite pretty much gets me excited-even though we don’t know anything. So in a sense: yes Microsoft has me excited for Xbox series x due to Halo.
PS4 is destroying this year though. Way to end a gen! Even though a new gen is coming, we have to give this year to Sony (again).
Maybe you should read it because the answers are in the article mate.
It's based on Xbox's failures this generation and there commitment to next-gen (buying studios). They clearly don't want a repeat of this generation again when it comes to games. We pretty much know nothing when it comes to what their new studios are doing, which is where the excitement comes from for me. You don't have to agree with it, it's simply my opinion, but at least know what to the article is about before having a dig.
Also, it's pretty safe to assume that HZD2, GOW2 and Spider-Man 2 are all in development. Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch haven't even released their current projects yet so I'm sure it's going to be a while before we see anything new from them.
Why are people pretending that MS purchased tons of AAA studios that are going to make blockbuster games. Ninja Theory and Obsidian are the only two developers that are top tier. The rest are A and AA devs that have already been making games for MS for years now. Let's not pretend that MS is going to bust the doors down with exciting exclusives, they thill have a lot to prove and you, and everyone, should be a little hesitant before you count your chickens with "all MS's new studios"
" I think most of PlayStation's first-party projects are known"
Says MOST are known. Lists 3 games. Sony has at 15 studios. So what were the other 12+ games? Since you're in the know what's going on with the other dozen or so studios?
I've already seen what has ms excited - and it won't be available for another 2 years minimum. I'm expecting that quality launch day on PS5, no need to wait - no need to accommodate a previous gen console that was underpowered 7 yrs ago haha.
Go and watch Sony 1st party trailers from the last 4yrs - absolutely I'm confident PS5 will deliver the bets graphics next gen.
If anyone is basing their next gen purchase off the launch line up alone, that is very foolish.
You should be basing your purchase on past history.
Question: How many times have ms dropped support for their console half way through the generation, doing the bare minimum they could get away with after already getting their initial customers?
Answer: All of them. Every single generation they have entered.
If you're intending to get an xsx, then you're about to be fooled for the 4th time. If it's shame on you after the second time, what do you call it when it's the 4th time?
"You should be basing your purchase on past history."
No. Gamers should base their choices based on games they love and want to play.
"Question: How many times have ms dropped support for their console half way through the generation, doing the bare minimum they could get away with after already getting their initial customers?"
WTF? MS will still support Xbox One console owners with first party games, even after the SX release, which means NINE years of support. Sony will drop PS4´s first party game support this year, which means seven years of PS4 support. And don´t even get me started on Nintendo and its WiiU support.
That´s "history" for you.
"If it's shame on you after the second time, what do you call it when it's the 4th" time?
"If you're intending to get an xsx, then you're about to be fooled for the 4th time."
Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I rather take my chances and play the games I want.
No, it was sold as a 3rd party showcase of upcoming games, with what was shown a "target" for the games, as stated when it said "footage representative of expected series x gameplay"
You see, xbox fans knew exactly what we were expecting. It was sold as exactly what they said on the tin.
Clearly didn't read the article then, because it's talking about the excitement coming from the fact that we don't know what we're going to get this time around from Xbox
How is that exciting not knowing from Microsoft of all people. We can guess the launch fodder and the rest won’t happen for another year or 2. Not what I’d called exciting but excruciating, another long wait for games. Let’s hope July smashes it out the park and I may actually keep my cyberpunk xb1X for next gen was dirt cheap anyway £259.99 😏🤷🏻♂️ 😜✌🏻😂 otherwise you’ll find it on eBay ✌🏻😂
People have been acting kike we should be excited for what MS has offered this gen when it wasnt warranted, so now we should be excited for what we dont know...which some people, and MS, have said we should also be excited for?
First year or two, MS will not have next gen games. Theyll have cross gen games.
So, to answer the question posed by the title. Yeah, it's the most exciting if a zero sum is exciting. If we're judging based on the unknowns, which I assume we are, then Sony still has me more excited, and MS is still at a zero sum of next gen games right now.
ugh..we don't know either line up right now and to make any judgment of either is stupid based off not a single frame of game-play. ( well except for godfall, but point still stands)
Sony’s strategy is very smart. They know they are on top with consumers. So Sony releases two amazing games to end this gen. What better way to encourage PS5 adoption? Sony has even said they want PS4 to PS5 transition to be quicker than PS3 to PS4 transition. BC and experiences like TLOU 2 that are only on PlayStation will drive PS5 sales.
Halo Infinite Hellblade Senua's Saga EverWild Gears Tactics The Medium Scorn Call of the Sea The Ascent Second Extinction Flight Simulator Crossfire X Psychonauts 2 Project Mara
Xbox next generation lineup definitely has me excited. To think this is only the beginning.
Does something that's barely announced anything have a more exciting line up than the other which has announced nothing 🤔. Man these "articles" get worse everyday 😑. Mind you that the Series X has had, to say the least, largely one of the worst up-front announced titles for a console launch in history and is heavily marketing backwards compatibility as a selling point to bolster the library....
It depends on what a person likes of course and what the new studios MS purchased created for us. But so far it's safe to say until Xbox shows off it's first party games they are coming from behind for most once again.
I kinda wonder what 1st party games people are feasibly expecting from the PlayStation 2020-2022.
People are just expecting when there’s not much evidence pointing towards anything. You can use past console launches and the current release frames of their recent titles and clearly see there won’t be much unless they’ve done some big acquisitions and made larger teams.
Disagree fairies otw.. but it will be 3rd party pay outs keeping the Ps5 afloat. The Bloodborne, Order 1886, Death Stranding type exclusive.
There will probably be a new IP, there always is every gen.
Probably a sequel to a decent to well loved IP....there always is.
Those will be launch titles from Sony.
There will probably be a bunch of cross gen releases from third party, with improvements for the newer console, although the way in which cross gen is released may differ from prior gens.
There will be a lot of indies and mid-tiers, some that are good, but will be quietly forgotten about after a year, but may do well due to launch fever.
Sony will save most it's heavy hitters for the first full year, or into year two, and not use them at launch. Something they probably wouldn't have done this gen if DriveClub hadn't been delayed, because I feel GT6 could have easily been released with the PS4 day one, even if a cross gen, and it would have been huge for the system. Chances of a big heavy hitter out of the gate is probably small, as it's not common. Killzone was probably the biggest heavy hitter they've ever had to launch a console, and while it has a respectable fan base, it's not what I'd classify as a system seller on a large scale. I'm not into the rumors about Horizon 2 being a launch title, although I feel it's probably in the works.
I expect launch day will be much like this gen, or the PS3 gen. MS will have more new titles to market with the launch, but they're all cross gen games....even their heaviest hitter, so it's a wash IMO.
What I think more will happen though, is that Sony will impress with their games earlier than MS will, while MS scrambles to try and say how awesome they are until they move fully into next gen. Sony will show off the talent of their studios as they always have, and that talent is likely to outshine all the studios MS has, because that's just the way it's always been. So, long term, people, and myself, have confidence in buying a PS5, while MS makes it easy to just wait for them to get their sh*t together like they have all gen.
Sony’s event hasn’t even happened yet lol come on now. Xbox having halo again is a given what are they gonna have. Scorn and the medium showed zero gameplay what’s to be excited about?
After Microsoft acquiring various studios over the past while I'm curious to see what they will do with all this talent. I'm jealous that they snagged Ninja Therory.
It's hard to say when we have hardly seen everything yet from MS and Sony.
Both systems will have interesting/exciting titles :)
Halo Infinite pretty much gets me excited-even though we don’t know anything. So in a sense: yes Microsoft has me excited for Xbox series x due to Halo.
PS4 is destroying this year though. Way to end a gen! Even though a new gen is coming, we have to give this year to Sony (again).
No
