How they run isn't my concern. MS has a billion B-tier games and not enough AAA.

A decent number of those games are already available on PS4 and/or PC, and some of the others are timed-exclusivity deals rather than actual exclusives, but yeah at least there's something to play. I won't be too judgmental until I've had a chance to compare to it what Sony (presumably) announces tomorrow as their launch lineup.

Thanks for quoting me out of context, much appreciated!
By the way Tetris Connected is coming to PS4 in 2021 as DLC, so it's also a timed-exclusive (you're just getting the Xbox version as an all-in-one).

The majority of that list is Bugsnax tier filler.
And this list is for 2021 too?
JFC that is insanely godawful not gonna lie.

Thank god sony doesn't have these weak titles in his lineup
Absolutely. I don’t get why so many known console warriors are coming in to shit on the lineup as if PS5 is launching with something amazing. The biggest game it has is a Spider-Man expansion. Outside of that, it’s chock full of the same type of cross gen timed exclusive games as the Xbox library. And even like the Xbox, the most interesting PS5 game(s) have been delayed out of the launch, Kena and Deathloop.

These are the same people who, every time this comes up, knowingly tap their nose and say "Sony have more to announce."
For the most part it's blind faith. Partly it's ignorance (see how many people think R&C will be a launch title). A huge chunk are judging PS5 exclusives AND third party multiplats against Xbox exclusives, cause after MM that's what they'll be playing. They just don't give it the benefit of the doubt the other way.
Both consoles are looking anemic. Consoles always look like that at launch. At least this time around we'll have backwards compatibility and any games missed will benefit from faster loading.
But anybody laughing at this list is going to have a really hard time come November.

Honestly, there's no confirmed launch list for the PS5 to my knowledge. But I'm sure, when it is released, you will downplay it like the otherside you are accusing of.

crossfireX is the game to watch out for, remedy are masters at shooting games genre and their campaign trailer looked glorious. But isn’t that also a timed exclusive?

Sony doesn't exactly have a great lineup either. I'm not advocating for either side.You know you are in trouble when not making 15mil in production as planed, getting shook by MS announcements and magically PS5 showcase event pops up the following week out of the blue, no price yet in mid Sep...and Spidey DLC is a big launch title in 2020
Now How you like them

Define "normal". I am excited for Falconeer, Call of the Sea and Exo One.
Its one of those games where they dont talk about it, so we dont know. But it probably is.
I'm gonna play Gears, Ori, The Medium, Dragon Quest, Assassins Creed and Watch Dogs.
Exclusivity doesn't make a difference. There will be games to play.

How did we arrive at a situation where people are talking about console exclusives, when the manufacturers of the console have made it clear there will never be any exclusives for it?
You can either support that philosophy, or criticise it. But you can’t just pretend it doesn’t exist.

The Medium and Scorn are pretty good too.

There is no way around it: that's pretty bad. Of course not everything was announced when you consider the list also brings 2021. Also, Yakuza is not a exclusive (and maybe other games listed as well).

I will buy the Series X. I will buy Call of Duty. I will come here to complain about how much I hate Call of Duty. Then I will return to playing Call of Duty.

"Normal" as in AA budget at least, longer length (say 15-40 hrs, approximately, maybe more), and usually a $60 price tag (maybe $40 in some cases), and available in physical as well as download. As opposed to indies, which tend to be much lower budget, shorter in length (maybe 6 to 8 hrs on average), usually available via download only, and priced around $15-$30.
Exclusive games do make a difference, and it's the topic of the thread.

I knew someone would half see my comment and then rush to write an Achtually post missing the point entirely.
You can't look at a list of exclusives and judge the launch line-up by that. There will be other great games to play, and they'll be no worse off for also being available on the other console. Exclusivity doesn't matter in that context, obviously.

Yeah... But MS not having ONE exclusive of their own is very weak. But that's how they want to play this I guess.

Tetris Effect is superb and I for one cant wait to play it on there Series X so...

I mean... if Halo wasn’t delayed they’d be launching day one with Halo Infinite and Gears Tactics. It’s not like they can decide to delay Infinite and then rush up another game to replace it.
There’s also the fact that there are lots of games that are getting “optimized for Series X” and getting free upgrades that will make them look and play much better than last gen. They’ll have Gears 5 and Horizon for that, I didn’t play much of them on current gen because we knew next gen upgrades were coming. To me, those will be like brand new games. Not to mention all the third party stuff. I bought Madden and have barely played it, I’ll get the XSX upgrade for free. This is not like a normal launch in many facets.
I think when you consider backwards compatibility, timed exclusives, exclusives, and third party multiplats, both consoles have a lineup that is perfectly fine. On paper they are better than Xbone and PS4 imho. It all boils down to which of the smaller scale exclusives you like on one console versus the other.

It was actually Satya Nadella who said it and he was referring to the fact that you can play from three past generations of Xbox.

For the people driving by and shouting "On PC" like that episode of South Park with "Simpsons Did It", not everyone, y'know, has a PC. So that argument means jack shit. But it is a weak launch list.

Are we sure Phil hasn't said this yet? Its almost a sure thing everytime he speaks.

Honestly it's certainly not the worst list. At least there's quite a bit of variety.

You think its bad now wait until Scorn releases especially if it makes 2020.

I didn't know CrossFire X and Call of the Sea are supposed to launch this year. Very Cool, I'm interested in both of those games. With Cyberpunk, The medium, Gears Tactics and Valhalla I'm already set for several months after launch and now I find there are even more games to carry me well into 2021 when EVEN MORE games are releasing.
It will turn out to be a great thing halo got delayed since we will still have something big to look forward to after all these early games.

I'm so glad we don't have to listen to that bullshit anymore. He was becoming a self parody at one stage. Yeah the exclusive line up is terrible. 2022 won't be much better. Xbox hasn't been great since the first half of the 360.
