Not everyone owns or will buy a decent gaming pc. Consoles are convenient. MS will still make sales on both (console and pc versions) and might broaden their fanbase as a result. Hardware will probably take a hit, but doubt it'll send them into an Xbox death spiral that some speculate/ wish. And if you purchase their "exclusives" on the PC while having just a gaming PC and PS4, you are still helping your "competition". Hopefully you'll get to enjoy some t...

There is a short story by King called "The 10'Clock People" about these monsters masquerading as people (think the movie "They Live" and you are on the right track) that would be at home in an open-world, stealth game.
Roddy Piper R.I.P. BTW.

The Mist idea is a good one. I'd like a survival horror game of that one. I listened to the audiobook, but prefer the movie. I know you don't hear that one often. Tom Jayne's acting was atrocious.
I just remember those awful spider creatures during the pharmacy scene.
Also, when the fog lifts at the end, military coming in and setting the creatures ablaze.

I've read the entire Dark Tower series and think it's universe is perfect for a Bioware RPG, but not Roland's tale (it's already been written.) They should do a game on Stephen Deschain's(Roland's father) ka-tet of gunslingers. A prequel of sorts.

My biggest gripe: Setting up profiles for local co-op. To play Black Ops 3 with my 3 nephews, I had to make 3 separate online accounts just to play splitscreen. WTF. Also, new bc requires an online check even though I installed it off a disc, so no playing offline.

It stacks up to me.

Diehard Sony fans might think otherwise, but really it's apples to oranges. I don't have interest in games from FROM Software, so Bloodbourne isn't on my radar (I know it's a totally different game than Dark Souls/Otogi, but also don't have a PS4 either- so pretty cut n dry). I think the Order looks pretty cool though. Hasn't got too many favorable previews, but they're previews. Not a representation of the FULL Final finis...

Yeah, those games (aside from PGR and Gears) don't really have a shot a being exclusive to any specific console.

So, they don't have any exclusives in the 1st half of the year. Big whoop. Plenty of multiplats to play until Quantum Break,Fable Legends, Halo 5, and Tomb Raider arrive.

More stuff at e3, for sure. Announcements and maybe some games sneaking into fall/ holiday schedule.

It's not a question of "amount" ...

This is a pretty stupid list.

PGR will probably never come out despite it being a solid racer. Xbox has Forza/ Forza Horizon series and IMO they are excellent. Fill out the roster with some multiplats-racing is taken care of.

Evolve is coming out this year. Not an exclusive, but will probably scratch the L4D itch, after all it's made by Turtle Rock. It may not be exactly, but zombie games aplenty- Dying Light and Dead Island 2 will be out this year. <...

Yeah, they are two racing titles and that is where to similarities end
DriveClub gets edge on graphics, don't know how it plays, so don't have an opinion.
Played Forza Horizon demo, really enjoyed it. Buying it Tuesday morn. Graphics(especially light reflections at night)are solid, but gameplay is fun. Really enjoyed the original

FH1 so it's a no brainer for me.

I agree. Everyone wants to crown Driveclub on graphics alone. Looks great, but we'll see how the gameplay holds up. My friend is looking forward to Driveclub, but I know he's a little jealous about Forza Horizon 2(he played FH1 extensively), but he'll get it for the 360. Win win I say.
If driveclub doesn't stack up, Project Cars and the Crew are due out in the next few months. Options are great. Maybe all of them will knock it outta the park. Find your driving n...

I'd be embarrassed if parity couldn't be achieved. The xb1 is how many times more powerful than a 360? So far, it's early in it's console cycle. When 2006 rolled out Fight Night: Round 3 and ES: Oblivion for 360, last gen looked really dated. They (analysts) said that there would be less of a gap from this generation and lasts from last's from the previous.

Project Cars, Star Citizen, and the Witcher 3(to a lesser degree IMO) will be the graphical s...

Yep!

How many of the exclusive games shown in trailer form be available for 2015 release? I think people rush to conclusions- especially the guy in this article. No one knows how long games have been in development and how smooth the process has been. Even if the average game has a speculated development cycle of two years, there are no guarantees.

With the Unchartered 4, I'm guessing early 2016 with all the movement at Naughty Dog.

I wanna see gameplay. Trailers don't mean diddly ding to me.

I care. I think most people want established franchises to return with a new, next gen veneer.

New ips are great too, but don't lose sight of what has made your past console successful.

4154d ago 3 agree1 disagreeView comment

oh yeah. Interplay was to make it, just thought it got canned. Wonder if it'll resurface.

Never played an mmo, but I don't want to. While Skyrim and Fallout have their quirks, I believe going memo severely downgrades the visuals.

Skyrim has mods that make it look like a bonafide next gen game. ESO's graphics IMO look underwhelming and a downgrade.

4167d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

Wiith ESO coming and Skyrim allegedly getting ported to PS4/XB1, i'm betting on Fallout 4.

I hope Elder Scrolls Online doesn't start a trend of mmoprgs on consoles for Bethesda's franchise s.

I think "why should a single player game have required internet connection?"

The answer- to improve the game experience for the player through monitoring.

Personally, I think it's horseshit. Single player games should have offline gameplay by default. Is there any sp games that have benefited from having required online connectivity? Do they understand that they will lose sales from people with limited or no internet (Believe it. Our countr...

I hate this continuing trend of trying to force the player online. Show me some tangible evidence of it enriching the game experience. Single player games don't need online components.

And I should be able to play how I want. Why should the dev care whether I cheated or not. It's Fable. If I want to cheat the system, so be it.

Panasonic VT50 (plasma).

The graphics are only part of the equation and they should be "melt the skin off your skull" awesome. They are not. They look better than Forza 4 and Horizon I will admit.

Gameplay is more challenging which is not a problem. When is more challenge a problem?

Content is light. Less tracks, less cars. No night racing, no rally/ drift races/ no varying weather conditions. The game is "bare bones&qu...

You don't produce a numbered sequel unless it has more content (tracks,cars,racing modes, etc)or is a complete revolution over it's predecessor.

Forza 5 is not a revolution in the series.Forza 5 was a let down for me personally. I have purchased every version previously. I understand launch games are essentially rushed, but don't put out a scaled back version of a flagship franchise than charge almost an additional game amount for stuff you used to get for free....
