[Bonfires Down]

Hopefully all of them will be on PC. Good lord I'm so sick of exclusives.

 

[Caio]

This is my list of most wanted Games, so better Sony and MS listen to me

1) Halo Infinite must be a killer app.

2) A mindblowing Perfect Dark.

3) The next Fable a masterpiece.

4) GT7 (before 2024 please)

5) The sequel of Horizon Zero Dawn

6) The most terrifying Horror Game from Kojima.

I believe MS will do more for the Next Gen in terms of new IPs and exclusive games.
PS4 has been dominating since Launch in selling numbers, X1 was underwelming, and MS is not here to repeat it twice; they started in the right way.
Sony will do great as usual, but better for them they don't understimate MS

 

[LED Guy?]

Struggle to get excited about the largely same formula 30fps games that Sony make. They have great production value but peel away the fluff and the actually gameplay is nothing special. I much prefer 60fps games of the type which have great replay value and that ‘just one more go’ hook. MS are more likely to make these than Sony.

Also it’s pretty obvious that MS chose not to throw billions at exclusives this gen as it would have never rescued their hardware sales anyway. But they are geared up now to be much better this coming gen, the recent history and output is irrelevant.

I respectfully disagree, the gameplay in games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4 is just top-notch, I have yet to see other games can compete with them, except a few 3rd-parties here and there.

 

[Self]

They aren’t really comparable. Sony has built a name throughout the generations and expectations for their games are sky high, which is a testament to their work, but that can also lead to big disappointments.

Microsoft has been changing gears every generation, not quite knowing who or what they want to “be”. They are now in the midst of another change up, and once again expectations are being “reset”. For the fans that means hope for a better future, for the industry it means there’s room for cautious optimism but expectations are kept in check.

My hope for Xbox is that they go as further away from Sony/Nintendo as possible so that they can carve their own identity. Betting on strategy games has been a good start.

I agree that MS needs some form of clear cut identity. Something which separates them from their competition.

Gamepass is a good start, but major exclusives and new ip's are the important factor at this stage.

I remember the early X360 days with Fable, Kameo, Halo 2, GoW, Mass Effect... XBox was kicking ass.

But it seems these days are long, long gone. Don't know what went wrong with their management and all that shit.

 

[Neo_game]

Microsoft this gen has been irrelevant IMO and their strategy to release game on PC day1 and gamepass to me does not make sense to me. I think they do not believe their games can sell consoles or bring in new gamers to their platform. Sony has had some big games this gen though I think PS3 era was better.

With new gen console it is a fresh start for both. I think Microsoft are going to do much better this time at least for 2-3yr. Microsoft strategy is definitely subscription based with gamepass and live. If Sony tries to copy Microsoft they are doomed. I think Sony has big advantage but they can't sit on their laurels. They need to make great exclusives through out PS5 life cycle including VR games to reach the magic 100million mark

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Not even close to a far cry clone. They're not even in the same genre

in what universe are games like Far Cry 4, Primal, and 5 not the same genre as HZD? I know people like to slap the RPG label on HZD but it can be equally applied to those other games.

 

[DForce]

that would be at currant gen visuals but we don't know what next gen visuals will take and be a hit on frame rate yet

If they can reach 4K 30, then 1440p\1080p @60fps will would be possible. These next gen consoles are not dealing with Jaguar CPUs anymore.

 

[Hawke502]

i think people are forgetting microsoft announced at least two next gen games already that look really good, Hellblade 2 and Project Mara.

 

[phil_t98]

yeah totally but we want 4k gaming now. lower res from next gen shouldn't be acceptable

 

[CatLady]

Much more excited for Xbox Studios. Currently playing The Bard Tale 4 and Torment from InXile and also playing Pillars Of Eternity from Obsidian.

I want RPGs and that is what Xbox is bringing. Looks like RPG will be Xbox Game Studios identity and for that I am super excited. Just to think we have Fable coming from a world class studio like Playground Entertainment. Fable is a game I will take over anything that Sony has.

InXile is rumored to be working on a AAA RPG. Obsidian is said to be working on a AAA Skyrim level RPG. Here is newly released concept art from that game.



Translation,

To the previous news I would like to add these Concept art from the Obsidian team about "supposedly" their next game.




As for Xbox One X and PS5 I will just quote directly from AMD,

" The Xbox Series X is going to be a beacon of technical innovation leadership for this console generation "

WRPGs are my favorite genre and we will have an abundance of them on the XsX. For me , multiple WRPGs combined with Halo, Gears, Hellblade, Everwild and Project Mara put XsX NextGen games light years ahead of Sony games.

 

[Keihart]

yeah totally but we want 4k gaming now. lower res from next gen shouldn't be acceptable

Why tho? why would only native resolutions be suddenly the only way when there is so much tech investment in having alternatives.
There is Dynamic resolution, check board reconstruction and the new nvidia DLSS, i bet games are going to use a combination of this or new techniques next gen.
It's always about the results and not the underlying numbers in game graphics.

 

[LittleBusters]

According to SonyGAF, Microsoft should have sold off Xbox years ago. Why even bother when you can't compete with the likes of Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Sucker Punch?

 

[Perrott]

The PS5 will have Uncharted, Spider-man 2, Lost Soul Aside, God of War 5, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Days Gone 2, Ratchet and Clank, Project Awakening, Horizon 2, Wild, Gran Turismo 7, Quantum Error

It's going to be so hard to beat this lineup

What a weak list of exclusives:

-Lost Soul Aside looks pretty mediocre based on the gameplay they've shown.
-Quantum Error it's another indie game that's not from Sony and definitely not exclusive.
-CyGames it's planning to release both Granblue Fantasy ReLink and Project Awakening on other platforms than Sony's consoles.
-Who is making a new Uncharted? The new San Diego studio? I doubt it based on the background of it's director and the staff that works over there.
-Days Gone 2 it's not coming out until 2023 at the earliest and... wait, is that WiLD? In 2020?

You could've mentioned much more promising games from Sony like Arrowhead's and Housemarque's first AAA games, the heavily rumored Silent Hill reboot from Japan Studio, Tsutomu Kouno's new IP, whatever Iljima has been working on since Knack 2 (apparently Ape Escape), MediaVision's RPG (Wild Arms) for PlayStation consoles or even the Demon's Souls remake from Bluepoint.

Unfortunately this seems to be a fake tweet.

The first one is from Gilles Beleoil who works at Ubisoft https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nPqlK

None seems to be for Obsidian

 

[Vawn]

Sony definitely has a huge advantage in first-party games, but to me personally, that's not the biggest advantage. I've realized that I highly prefer Japanese games over western games, and way too many third-party Japanese publishers either treat Xbox as an afterthought or skip it entirely.

Even if you took away all of Sony's first-party studios away, until Japanese studios focus as much on Xbox as they do PlayStation and Nintendo, I could never skip getting out on a PS console (or Nintendo, for that matter).

 

[Fun Fanboy]

Lol
It's funny, how some Sony fans are claiming, that Xbox fanboys are "spreading FUD" about PS5, when they are doing the same. Booty quote about "not making AAA games" is taken out of context, but i see, that for some people here it is enough to take it and run with it.

Also, it is "great" how some of you are trying to spin Xbox Game Pass 1st party stuff as huge negative, when Game Pass is probably best deal in gaming right now. But whatever

For me, having 1st party games on GamePass Day 1 is primary reason why i will probably end up with XsX over PS5. Yes, PS5 has PS Now and they also have 1st party games there sometimes, but playing Outer Worlds, Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4 and other games for 14,99 per month is better, than paying same amount to Sony without 1st party games.

Also. 1st party output is entirely subjective thing. Yes, I agree, that Sony WWS have more acclaimed games with better metacritic and better sales, but i'm more excited about Gears Tactics than i will ever be about Horizon 2, because Tactics is something fresh. And Horizon? Looks great, art and graphic is gorgeous, but it is same bloated "Ubisoft style" open world that i hate with passion. And i don't expect that to change even with new horsepower from PS5.

And to claim "Microsoft won't make AAA games" when everybody knows that Halo Infinite, Gears 6, FH5, big Obsidian RPG, Fable reboot, new big inXile RPG and Hellblade 2 is coming is just insane. But as i said...whatever

This is a feel good thread. They were blown out of the water on console specs, so here we go again with exclusives talk. Everyone who's anyone knows that 3rd party games are where it's at, but you know.

And I think of course PS5 will have some great exclusives like they do, and this gen Xbox I feel will as well. Just like Nintendo always does.

This is just another step for a feel good or concern about Xbox games. Just like all the talk about sequels, even though Ryse and Sunset, Sea of Thieves and other games came out that were brand new, yet people kept talking about "another forza, or halo, gears" It will be ok.

TLDR, I believe Xbox will have some fantastic exclusives, just like PS5 and Nintendo. And then of course, as always. Will be the best place to play 3rd party games as well. Can't wait to see the differences in Minecraft from PS5 vs XSX.

Fake or not its just concept art.

Obsidian working on a AAA RPG aint fake.

 

[Gamernyc78]

i think people are forgetting microsoft announced at least two next gen games already that look really good, Hellblade 2 and Project Mara.

Hellblade only showed a cutscene and part one was really restricture and repetitive. We have to see more. Cgi, cutscenes and live action trailers don't sell games to me, ever. Especially since thy hardly ever are representative of what we get gameplay wise unless it's some in engine cutscene to gameplay transition tht alot of Sony devs do.

 

[Vawn]

Hopefully all of them will be on PC. Good lord I'm so sick of exclusives.

You can hope all you want, but they won't.

 

[DaMonsta]

For me, Xbox side is more exciting due to the unknown. I kinda already know what I’m getting from Sony side and I’m kinda “meh” on most of their games.

[Gamernyc78]

Definitely true, been like this for generations. "if only thy listened"

 

[DForce]

I agree. Sony’s preoccupation with forests is getting tired. I get that it’s a graphical trick because rendering a city with npcs is more demanding than a river but I’m kinda tired of that setting. God of War looks miles better than Spider-Man for that reason but if I see one more forest I think I might snap. Would love to see a Naughty Dog do sci-fi game.

Somehow you missed all the forests\trees in games like Shadow of The Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Red Dead Redemption 2.

This is literally how a lot of games are.

 

[DForce]

According to SonyGAF, Microsoft should have sold off Xbox years ago. Why even bother when you can't compete with the likes of Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Sucker Punch?

According to XboxGAF, exclusive\console exclusive games are niche or don't even matter because it's all about multiplatform games.

 

[diffusionx]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I think Sony needs to mix it up a bit more than they did on PS4. Too many third person action adventures. I miss the days when they put out stuff like Motorstorm, MAG, and LBP. I know it's hard to launch and maintain a multiplayer game in this world but it's the best way to keep players engaged, especially if MS puts out a top-notch Halo at launch. I can't help but think people would be willing to go beyond Battlepass of Duty on new hardware.

Yes, all games since 2016 have been "Game Pass fodder", including that game which isn't even released yet. And of course, both Forza Horizon 4 and FM7 are rubbish that belongs in Game Pass only. And Gears 5? Pffft. And don't even get me started on Ori.

That said, I agree that Microsoft need to up their game.

To be fair, Gears 5 is shit.

 

[Fun Fanboy]

Huh... so rumors are flying that Last of Us 2 is going to PC eh? Man. Might as well get a PC next gen!

Edit.. so they're saying it's Xbox trolls from France doing this. Lol. The cult! I wonder if they're part of the Discord. Probably Tim Dog telling them to do it!

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Yeah Yoshida is the man. He's a real gamer.

O dont worry, Herman Hulst is also a gamer and better, a first class developer, and he knows how hardware works and he is a great game-engine designer. (Decima engine) and he wil be a better leader of Sony's WWS. Cous he knows what he is talking about.
Beiing a gamer is a must but more knowlegde about how hardware and games works is better

Lost Soul Aside looks amazing
Quantum Error will be AA or AAA and it has raytracing, 4K 60FPS
Cygames are making exclusives for PS until stated otherwise
The new San Diego studio is making the next Uncharted and the lead is a former Naughty Dog developer
Wild is still in development confirmed by the studio

These games look way better than what anyone else has coming

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

If they can reach 4K 30, then 1440p\1080p @60fps will would be possible. These next gen consoles are not dealing with Jaguar CPUs anymore.

Naah i think that the Xbox SeX and PS5 games will run on 4k and 60 fps, i mean look at the hardware

I know Hulst portfolio very well but thanks for tht info it's good for ppl that might not know.

Yoshida always gets my nod bcus he's very personable and plays other systems frecuently and never has an issue talking about stuff like "the current switch game" he might be playing.

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Horizon 2? A sequel to that soulless Far Cry clone? Not sure why you see such promise for that but to each their own.

Never finished it either, got so boring couldn't bring myself to playing it and got distracted with better gms.

 

[Psykodad]

Sony will dripfeed their games throughout the entire gen, MS will push exclusives in year 2 and 3 and then run out of gas.

Basically like every other gen, just that MS will bring their big guns a bit later going by what they said.

 

[JLB]

My opinion OP? That your opinion is clearly biased. No matter what MS shows, even if its a game that comes with a COVID 19 vaccine in it, you will still prefer Sony games. Which is ok, if thats gives you more satisfaction, its your money and your call.

 

[The Alien]

None of Sony's "big banger" IPs just happened overnight. Development and nurturing takes time. Kudos to Sony for knocking it out of the park with great dev teams outputting great games, alongside excellent marketing.

Microsoft needs to start putting out quality games and marketing them appropriately. They could have their next great IP already in development...or next up. Maybe with all of Sonys leadership changes and talent movement, quality starts to dip.

Clearly Microsoft needs to get there...and they are taking the right steps. But to frame this thread as "Microsoft will never come close" is blindingly shortsighted.

Sorry for the sports analogy but....Reminds me when Wayne Gretzky called the New Jersey Devils a Mickey Mouse organization. Then 10 years later he cried like a b*tch when they stomped his ass on their way to 3 Stanley Cups in 8 years...during a dynasty run.

 

[KAL2006]

It's not just a numbers game for me. It's that 1 or 2 exclusive game that can be the deciding factor. Also I play multiplatform games majority of the time.

I'm not a fan of Horizon, Days Gone and many other Sony's exclusives.

However the deciding factor for me was Street Fighter V (I don't play games on PC), God of War and Spiderman. Those 3 games are a huge deal for me as well as the recent Final Fantasy 7 which is time exclusive.

As for Microsoft's line up of exclusive honestly none of their exclusives interest me. Not even Forza Horizon.

There is no definite answer someone could be into driving games so Forza Horizon could be the system seller. In the end it's not how many exclusive a system has as majority of people don't have time to play every game ever released. I still haven't finished my backlog of games yet.

Next gen things can change I do know if there is a God of War sequel it would be a must have for me same with Spiderman. However maybe Microsoft have Street Fighter 6 as a exclusive who knows what will happen. All I know is I don't have time to play every quality game so I will decide which games are a must have in this case PS5 likely due to them most likely making sequels

Get me a fucking dope fable and I'm back in their eco system. Sometimes it just takes one or two games that surprise ppl to get them back in a good rhythm for me it's a solid action rpg or rpg in general.

 

[GameOfPixelsX]

This is what it really comes down to, now that the hardware specs for both consoles are revealed and both consoles being very similar, in fact this will be smallest differences we’ve seen in all generations, both consoles will be EPIC!! Very powerful and remind me of when Xbox 360 & PS3 came out and how powerful they were.

Now to get to the games, I feel like Sony will be DESTROYING Xbox in this regard!!

I mean will Microsoft have something as big as Sony’s Horizon Zero Dawn 2 or God of War 2 or Naughty Dog’s new HUGE IP that’s been rumored for a long time?

Because I’m gonna tell you guys right now, when Sony shows Horizon 2 I don’t think anything from Microsoft will come close, the amounts of work, dedication, budget, money and time that Sony puts in their games is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Another thing that’s concerning me is Xbox Game Pass, I don’t think releasing HUGE new AAA Single-player IPs from Microsoft day 1 on Game Pass will be the thing, I mean we now have The Initiative (supposedly their biggest and most promising team) saying that they’re “going agile and building smaller-type games” and Matt Booty saying that they’re not targeting for AAA gaming in the future with XSX, instead, they’ll be making “unique AA games” and that’s concerning me.

All in all, I think Sony will kill it and I hope Microsoft does that too, we’ve been hearing empty promises from them since 2016 and all we got were Game Pass fodder like Zoo Tycoon, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, State of Decay 2 etc etc...

I want to hear your guys’ opinions.

Real question- how old are you?

 

[Alphagear]

I say it a lot but it’s not fair to expect MS to bridge the games gap overnight. MS is investing in studios, the seeds are planted, it takes time. MS will launch some more first party winners next-gen, sooner or later. Again, it just takes time. Hellblade 2 (and further installments) has incredible potential already.

It’s unrealistic for MS to overtake Sony next-gen but it should just be about bridging the gap as much as possible. Even the odds a little and set up for a close race next-next gen

Completely agree. Microsoft will eventually catch up.

They have gone all the rights things so far since the Xbox One debacle. Buying studios and producing an exceptional piece of hardware for next generation.

All thats needed now is for the studios to deliver the goods.

This is I dont expect next generation.

Some people seem to believe that simply having the studios, Microsoft will now match Sony.

It took Sony 25 years of chopping and changing before they were happy with the studios they have. Producing consistent quality titles throughout each generation.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Killzone has been sitting for years on the shelf, the story is SONY might launch the new console with one of Naughty Dog's games, let's be honest, Microsoft will be great with Halo and Gears and that might not land well with some people, it will be a mistake if Microsoft goes into next generation with only 1 Halo on their minds.

Lost Soul Aside looks amazing
Quantum Error will be AA or AAA and it has raytracing, 4K 60FPS
Cygames are making exclusives for PS until stated otherwise
The new San Diego studio is making the next Uncharted and the lead is a former Naughty Dog developer
Wild is still in development confirmed by the studio

These games look way better than what anyone else has coming

• Lost Soul Aside looks more like a prototype made with assets from the Unreal 4 marketplace than a real game. It does not look like "PS5 levels of amazing" by any means.
  Spoiler
• Regarding Quantum Error, it doesn't matter if it does full raytracing or if it runs at 4K because it's a third party game and not a Sony exclusive.
• Moving on to CyGames, this is what they had to say about Project Awakening's release on other platforms (they stated similar things about ReLink on other interviews):

Q: What platforms will it be available on?
A: As new as possible and as broad as possible.

• About Sony's new San Diego studio, the former Naughty Dog developer it's just a designer, primarily a multiplayer designer. The game director comes from Double Helix, where he was leading the development of a cancelled MOBA for Amazon called Breakaway.
  Spoiler
• WiLD it's still in development, of course, but until Sony decides to pull off another The Last Guardian move it will remain as a dead game, just like Agent or Deep Down.

I expected a Sony fan like you, not only to be better informed in general, but to know that PS5 is not in need of first party exclusive content as there are tons of unannounced Sony titles planned for the first two years, which means that you can't stop making these absurd lists trying to make indie games and third party titles look like killer apps only available on PlayStation.

 

[Dafegamer]

Sony releasing their flagship first party "exclusives" on pc, might be their worst business decision since releasing psvita memory carda

 

[Elenchus]

Somehow you missed all the forests\trees in games like Shadow of The Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Red Dead Redemption 2.

This is literally how a lot of games are.

I might agree on Tomb Raider but RDR2 is the most incredible open world ever showcased in a video game. Put aside all of the insane human npc systems Rockstar implemented. Animals hunting other animals and vultures swooping in for carcasses still blows my mind.

I’d give GOW the nod for this gen’s best combat but the world is empty and boring. Places like Helheim were especially disappointing. RDR2 on the other hand needed tighter combat but it’s world is breathtaking. I would go back to Horseshoe Overlook after the gang had left that area just because I genuinely missed it.

Sony focuses on graphics and smaller worlds which is fine. I’m hoping the SSD talk is true and we get something other than an easy to render empty forest next gen.

If it must be a forest make it one on a different planet. I’m good with purple trees on the planet Vardnark Sony! Dammit man! Lol!

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I'm only buying PS5, but I hope XSX makes something good so I can play it on my PC.

To me I can't see Microsoft producing games as big as Sony, but I think they have a chance to improve at least if they give it some real passion, patience and money.

Btw I like how you discredited Quentin Cobb and the former Rockstar developer leading the studio but I'll let you continue spreading your fud

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Even if we are fan of a specific series of games and/or studios we don't know yet.... However Sony has a better track record.

MS Had strong times with Halo and Gears of War (and many exclusive third party titles in the OG xbox and 360 days). So we just don't know what's coming from them, I'm cautiously hopeful they'll mange their studios properly this time around.

 

[K1ngP3n]

I personally don't think either side is going to be bad off this time around with exclusives. At this point Sony has more and better exclusives but that could all change after we see what Microsoft has at their digital E3 event. I'm getting both systems so it's a win for me regardless.

 

[Major_Key]

I really can't wait to see Everwild with High fidelity 4K60FPS and Ray Tracing

remind me Princesse Mononoke/Botw

We already know it's ambitious large Open World Third Person.

 

[LED Guy?]

Lol I don't think that Sony will have a Game with ambition of Halo Infinite.

343i is big team of +600 employees (Sucker punch,Bend studios and Guerrilla combined)


And pretty sure The next Playground Games RPG and the next big RPG at Obsidian leaded by Chris Parker will be at HZD level.

HZD is not big enough (scope) than people think. Is 60-70 hours with light RPG system, is not like +150 Hours of TW3,FNV/Skyrim etc...

That's delusional right there LOL!!

Guerrilla Games just hired 150 or 200 more employees and Horizon Zero Dawn (a new IP) sold more than Halo 5 and scored way higher too, Halo Infinite is Microsoft's biggest game so they should pack everything in it, but seeing how 2 directors leaving from 343 industries does spell red flags for Halo Infinite.

They should come up with something

"343i is big team of +600 employees (Sucker punch,Bend studios and Guerrilla combined"

That's a lie right there.

Lol I don't think that Sony will have a Game with ambition of Halo Infinite.

343i is big team of +600 employees (Sucker punch,Bend studios and Guerrilla combined)


And pretty sure The next Playground Games RPG and the next big RPG at Obsidian leaded by Chris Parker will be at HZD level.

After the shit Halo 5 I wouldn't be signing the praises of 343.
