Neither MS or Sony has much to write home about in exclusives front this generation. I would say both have pretty equal amount of quality exclusives so far.

That's the only reason why I haven't bought a PS4 or Xbone this gen. I usually end up getting all the consoles, but this time I have a PC which gets almost everything, a Wii U and 3DS for Nintendo games and don't see the need for the others.

I mean, I like the Uncharted series, but not enough to buy a new console just for Uncharted 4. I don't like Gears or Halo, so an Xbone is a waste for me aswell.

I understand if others want them, but this is the first gen for me where I find anything more than PC/Nintendo unnecessary.

Feels strange.

Why all these doom and gloom threads before Microsoft has even revealed the Scorpio and their lineup. It seems kinda premature to not wait untill they have shown what they got. They have not had a conference yet.

Complaining now before the release smells a lot like fanboyism. I would understand if it's the same after E3 and the Scorpio turns out to be underwhelming, but complaining before we actually know anything is just weird.

It seems rather likely that Microsoft will reveal some new games when they reveal the Scorpio.

I'll reserve my judgment till that.

I'm not sure what it is exactly about Scalebound's cancellation that caused everybody to have meltdowns and decide now is the time to naval gaze about the xbox platform as a whole, but the exclusive slate has not substantially changed since 3 months ago. The last thread I remember reading about it seemed to be like 60/40 split as to whether it looked horrible or decent, in favor of the former.

By my reckoning, what the Microsoft slate is missing is one or two high profile, story driven prestige projects. Halo used to be this, but the industry's tastes changed and people aren't as excited about such an old franchise. What people seem to go gaga over come E3 are story driven games with great graphics. Ultimately, when people say "Xbox has no games" what it's really code for is "there is nothing in the same niche as Uncharted / Tlou / that new cinematic looking god of war". There is nothing blowing people away with animation quality that looks like it's going to make critics cry come awards season. Because in terms of games, there's definitely stuff coming out, the latest Gears was well received, the last Halo was well received, the Forzas continue to do well every year, there's some MMO water thing coming out, people are for some reason excited about Crackdown (if it ever ships), there's even a fucking RTS coming out. When was the last time there was a big console RTS? But even going back a year or two, the only thing filling that niche, the one that gets people hyped, was a timed exclusive that just pissed most people off rather than getting them excited about the platform.

With Scorpio coming out, I think it's plausible that they're holding one or two cards close to their chest to act as "Scorpio launch titles", which will probably run a bit crummy on vanilla XBO but look stunning on Scorpio. But I doubt there's going to be much in the way of new AAA action adventure franchises with a strong narrative focus. I don't know if the Xbox team considers anything like that to be an actual high priority. There's definitely going to be new first and third person shooters, there's definitely going to be racing games, there's going to be fighting games. And they'll all be well reviewed, but for the most part the people here won't care much, because it's all pretty passé.

Quantum Break am cry 😭

But yea, people do really go ape shit over narrative heavy games with fancy graphics, don't they? Not that it's bad, I love them as much as the next person, but that's not all there is.

Excellent article.

I think what Microsoft are dealing with -- in terms of third-party relations -- are the consequences of not being a global platform. The biggest consequence that we're seeing is a lack of Japan-developed exclusives on the platform. A lot of those games aren't going to put up big numbers on the charts, but what they are going to do is increase the value of owning the platform (in this case, PS4) which they're launching on. So the value of the PS4 is increasing while the value of the Xbox One is decreasing as more and more games are coming out. I think this is why more journalists and commentators are writing articles about the Xbox One's exclusives situation, because we're at a point in the console's life where the value of the product is expected to go up due to price cuts, OS improvements, and of course software releases.

Franchise fatigue has also set in for a lot of games, and while another Halo/Forza/Gears/Crackdown could be awesome, the truth is people get tired of even the most awesomest of things. We want new things because new things give us new memories, so regardless of the quality of upcoming sequels, a brand new IP -- especially a big AAA here's the Mountain Dew and Doritos tie-in IP -- will be more exciting than the 6th version of a game. Sea of Thieves could do the trick, so hopefully the game is on track and turning into something special. Other than that, I don't know what else Microsoft has to offer that isn't "another one of those".

With that in mind, I think Project Scorpio will need to have a large number of new (and exclusive) games at launch. I don't think they'll kill the "Xbox has no games" perception without delivering a lot of new exclusive titles. Where will the exclusives come from? I don't know. Buying up a third-party game could backfire again, but at this point, if they need to lockup a game like Cyberpunk or the next Insomniac game in order to help their platform grow, then they have to roll the dice. I think Scorpio presents an opportunity for Microsoft to rewire the expectations of an Xbox platform, so I think they should make sure that they're making as many smart software investments as possible.

Cancellation of Scalebound was the last straw to many people. That's what caused meltdowns. Xbox is in serious need of new exclusive IPs. Gears 4 and Halo 5 were somewhat well received by critics, but don't get fooled by that, interest in these 2 franchises is dying out fast. Gears and Halo are long past their prime and now are in nostalgia territory. Maybe it doesn't seem so from mainstream reviews, but when you play multiplayer with actual people that's how most are feeling about it.

The cancellation of Scalebound has triggered a focus on MS exclusives. Thus its being discussed now on basis of that.

Of course if they have a good E3 then that will put end to concerns raised by Scalebound but its obvious people aren't going to go "I'm really concerned about MS exclusives on back of Scalebound being cancelled but I won't bother posting on this gaming forum I've joined to discuss it until after E3".

C'mon this is a gaming forum. Scalebound cancellation was significant news. It relates to MS lineup. Of course it's getting discussed now.

On top of this MS have gone out of their way to note Scorpio will not have exclusives thus people are fairly assuming whatever boat the XB1 is in the XB Scorpio will be in the same boat too.

There would be epic meltdowns if they bought Cyberpunk exclusivity. Would never happen though.

First party importance is overstated on consoles with the big dog third party games. Microsoft has been putting all their first party titles on PC for about 2 years now, everything except for Ori and Killer Instinct have been mediocre performers sales while, and yet the total sales difference between the PS4 and XB1 in the US and UK are pretty minor.

You might point to the worldwide difference as proof of FP importance but that's just Playstation recovering after a clusterfuck of a generation with the PS3. It took a complete shitshow of a launch for the PS3 and the Kinect for the 360 to edge it eek out a "win". The 360 was an anomaly.

This is on point.

I haven't jumped into the next generation, and have been fine playing PC games on my decently powered laptop and back catalogue/games with gold on my Xbox 360. However I'm not much of a First Person Shooter fan, despite me enjoying Halo (I think Halo 4 is the best campaign I've played of Halo), nor a racing fan, nor a multiplayer fan, so a lot of Xbox exclusives do nothing for me. I really enjoy 3rd person cinematic single player, narrative focused games and I didn't have a PS3, so the PS4 Pro really appeals to me now. However, I have a huge 360 digital library and Microsoft staying committed to backwards compatibility as well as they're midgrade with Scorpio has now turned the tide in me getting their system and staying within their ecosystem. There are enough third party games and the occasional Xbox exclusive that I'm interested in, for me to be satisfied with this choice.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Are Ashen, Below and Tacoma still a thing?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Microsoft are done this generation . There would have been rumours about new games or exclusives in dev for Scorpio already .

There's nothing .

Xbox Scorpio will just be a slightly enhanced PS4 pro , and then Sony will sell the pro 100 usd cheaper at Scorpio launch .

Microsoft just need to give up on Xbox and make there windows 10 gaming pc thingy

Last straw? Nobody talked about the game at all. People just jumped on a bandwagon for the most part. Xbox also have made new IPs this generation, none of which seem to have sold or been critically well received which I assume is what you mean when you say "in serious need of new exclusives"? Even then SoT is upcoming which is also a new IP and also Crackdown while not a new IP I feel a lot of people never even played which can also be added under there for many.


I don't see the doomsday people talk about, especially if they have something up their sleeves for Scorpio reveal.

You don't see it because it's fabricated.
It's cyclical for GAF to do this every now and then, which is why it lost its substance. It's like people who say "fuck" and "shit" every third sentence, it loses its meaning over time, and when the person really means it, no one will know because that has become the expected.

There's no doomsday. Xbox one is just a less atractive platform compared to the PS4 because it receives less games. And with Scalebound cancelation Microsoft is making it worse instead of better, while not a really high profile game mainstream wise, it was a game from a cult developer with a large harcore following. People are just calling what they see, there are not a lot of reasons to pick up an Xbox over a Playstation and the sales data shows it.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

They need to set up a few 'AA' studios that can pump out some good games for 10 - 20 million or so, not the usual 50 million plus. Or contract some good indie studios.

Microsoft have a good back catalogue of IP's going to waste and could use several of them to diversify their lineup.

Not every game needs to be a multi million seller, but it does these days if it's AAA. So make some good smaller games.

Even something like Crimson Skies could be made as an AA game and still be great.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Where are they ? like seriously ? exclusives died a year ago on Xbox with "Play Anywhere" so I don't know what they are searching for atm...

Its like the game mode thing they announced, in which people went "Ahaha fuck you MS its Windows 10 Store only blabla" and then when they announced its open across Windows 10 to anyone its "It's not gonna do anything anyway fuck you bawhahaha" all over again just with IPs.


Even when Spencer say hes playing upcoming games and that they look great (obviously) people STILL give them shit.

No matter what MS do or don't right now, GAF is going to hate on it for X reason because its Microsoft who's under this time around.

Use Rare's water tech, big islands to fly through etc. profit.

You need to check better because the difference in quantity and quality of exclusive between PS4 and xbox one is a lot bigger than you think, just look at metacritic.

 

[timberger]

Not wrong, XB1 has become a pretty dire platform on the exclusive front and it's hardly like it started in a particularly rosy place on that score to begin with.

But who needs games when you have UHD, BC and Scorpio hype!

I'm being facetious of course, but this sentiment is somehow a serious one I've seen expressed by certain fans on gaf.

 

[notaskwid]

You need to check better because the difference in quantity and quality of exclusive between PS4 and xbox one is a lot bigger than you think, just look at metacritic.

There are also many games released on PS4 and PC that are not released on X1 at all.
And the four months of this year will make things even 'worse'.
Out of all big or medium profile games releasing Xbox is getting 3 exclusives (halo wars complete, Halo wars 2 and Sea of Thieves), PS4 is getting some 10 and more if we count games not releasing on Xbox but on other platforms (vita, pc).
Just to give an example:

January 24 ps4 releases
Yakuza 0
Tales of Berseria
Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Resident Evil 7

January 24 xbox one releases
Resident Evil 7

[onemanasylum]

I see Sony too argument creeping in, that's not a valid defence and there is a pretty big difference in the lineup on ps4 and x1.

 

[Adam_802]

The strong impression is that third parties have largely abandoned Xbox One as a platform worth launching exclusive games on

Lol, wut? BS. XB1 has plenty healthy 3rd party support from major AAA devs. It has less indies, sure, but I dont really care about that tbh. And some people actually think MS should go 3rd party lmao, just like sony shouldve done last gen, right GAF? /s

More overblown MS doom and gloom, sigh

3 niche titles in the first months of the year is not that bad with one being a new IP which is what everyone is complaining about is lacking.

He's not talking about 3rd party support, but 3rd party exclusives. And yes, Sony has those, especially from Japanese devs. And we are not talking niche here.

if people don't see the difference between PS4 and Xbox 1 exclusive lineup for this year and the years to come, they're just clueless or trolling, even Microsoft know they need to do better...

On PC, MS seems to be moving their gaming division there.

 

[Maxrunner]

Theres no reason Ms to continue on consoles market quite frankly, invest more on the pc side of things. I cant wait to see if Scorpio will even get released.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

My problem with the PS4's exclusives are that a lot of them are titles that I either never heard of or would have any interest in playing. They might be console exclusive but the quality of those exclusives isn't necessarily anything to be excited about. But I'm a rare case when I comes to gaming. I'm not into Japanese developed games aside from Nintendo.

I don't think there's anything Microsoft can do about that especially on the Japanese front but that was never their strength to begin with. The biggest thing Microsoft lost out on that I believe they're trying to regain back in full was the "dudebro" or casual audience they had the last generation where a significant amount hopped over to PS4 after a poor launch that included the "always online" debacle, packaging of Kinect and forcing it upon consumers, and the biggest mistake that they couldn't reverse unlike their other poor decisions which were having an underpowered console that third party games tended to perform worse at lower resolutions compared to their biggest competitor.

Xbox live is still a Microsoft strength, and launching Scorpio is an opportunity to gain that crowd they lost to be the console of choice to play the biggest western third party games like Call of Duty, Madden, Fifa, Minecraft, NBA2K, WWE2K, Grand Theft Auto, Lego Games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed, etc...

 

[chromatic9]

Don't want to go down the list war route but in terms of big games Sony has put out Uncharted 4. Microsoft have put out Halo 5, Gears 4, Forza 5/6 and Horizon 2/3.

4 years in I'm still waiting for a Gran Turismo game and its going to be a mini version called Sport. 2017 will see Forza 7 full game

For your Order 1886 you have Quantum break, Ratchet you have Sunset.

Sony have been slow out the gate and Shu has said this in articles.

Sure there is, as there are plenty who love playing on Xbox and are far too invested into the platform and ecosystem. They are not dropping it anytime soon. It is just being integrated with PC, which is actually not a bad idea.

Can we consider Bloodborne, the two Infamous and Killzone in this dispute?
And the upcoming Horizon and TLOU2 as well?

Or they shall not be considered because aren't made from Sony studios...?

 

[RedSparrows]

Does it? I'd say now with Scalebound gone their 2017 lineup is rather underwhelming, and that's a nice way to put it.

The most anticipated MS exclusive (here on NeoGAF) is now Cuphead, an amazing looking platformer from an indie developer.

Ding ding.

Xbox doesn't have as many exclusive games as Playstation, simple fact. But GAF has a tendency to say 'eh what games? No games', because a lot of the time it doesn't even bother to find out. Only today I was playing Pit People. It's good. It's console exclusive. But eh, whut?!

For me, along with their current library, Microsoft also has a library of "potential" exclusives that I'm extremely interested in. I would love a new Fable game by a new studio. Crimson skies or Viva Pinata in Vr would be sensational. Let me sit in my garden with a Chewnicorn; I would buy that game, console, and vr headset day one.

Well I'm talking about what Sony has produced compared to MS. With Bloodborne you can get that with Dark Souls 1-3 and its just a paid for third party but If you want to add that then lets add Titanfall. I don't want to go down the silly list war.

I don't own either system and I'll be getting the PS4 Pro soon. I'll be buying HZD but its about fucking time they have something other than Uncharted and where's my GT. MS have Forza 5, 6 and 7 plus FH2,FH3.

He'll yeah! Even a sequel to Quantem Break would be interesting. I thought the story left off at an interesting place. Doesn't Microsoft also own the Iron Brigade IP? I would be ecstatic if they had Double Fine produce another one of those.

Well I'm talking about what Sony has produced compared to MS. With Bloodborne you can get that with Dark Souls 1-3 and its just a paid for third party but If you want to add that then lets add Titanfall. I don't want to go down the silly list war.

Then stop doing it.

Alan Wake 2

It hurts, man.

Alan Wake 2 would've been far more commercially successful than Quantum Break, required much less of a budget and probably extended their relationship with Remedy.

I traded in my Xbox One S for a PS4 Pro when I realized I was most excited for backwards compatibility announcements since there were not many console exclusives coming. Back compat is great, but it shouldn't be what I'm most looking forward to.

I wasn't. You tried. Stop. Edit not you but the person who quoted me.

Take my original post as is, admit it and move on. Thanks.

I'm just pointing out MS have put out games and actually Sony has been light.

I don't own either system and I'll be getting the PS4 Pro soon. I'll be buying HZD but its about fucking time they have something other than Uncharted and where's my GT. MS have Forza 5, 6 and 7 plus FH2,FH3.

Sony also has a yearly franchise in MLB.
