Microsoft E3 conference was great!

[Elijin]

Yeah, but those franchises are kinda old and stale at this point, and it's pretty much the only thing Xbox has to show for itself. It's like if Playstation only had Uncharted, (classic) God of War, and Gran Turismo. Some new exclussive IPs is what's sorely lacking.

I cant tell whether you're trying to be funny.

People have been super excited about the latest Uncharted, God of War and Gran Turismo.
In fact, if the Sony conference was the exact same multiplatform titles, and a new Uncharted, God of War and Gran Turismo announcement, I imagine most people would call that a success. (Probably the same people who say MS was a failure.)

I... can't tell if you are.


By the time The Lost Legacy came out people were kinda ready for this franchise to maybe take a bit of a break. Also, the fact that The Last of Us existed made people realize Uncharted wasn't Naughty Dog's only thing. God of War took a huge break and reinvented itself, hence me saying "(classic) God of War", which this new entry isn't. It's something different for a franchise which had gotten old and stale. And Gran Turismo I just threw in there to fill the car game space.


But really the point is that Sony has more exclussive IPs/games than just those three franchises. Microsoft can only really wheel out Halo, Gears, and Forza as a draw for their platform. Meanwhile Sony's churning out Horizon: Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Until Dawn, Detroit: Become Human. The upcoming Spider-Man, The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima. Then there's remakes of games like Shadow of the Colossus, and Yakuza Kiwami, remasters of Odin Sphere, the Kingdom Hearts games, Final Fantasy 10, 10-2, and 12. And all of this ONTOP of Uncharted, God of War, and Gran Turismo.


See what I'm getting at?

I see that you have a preference for Sony, and an leaning towards dishonesty. Bunch of those IP's are pretty recent, and only a single game. I could pad Microsoft out in the same way. Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising, State of Decay, Sea of Thieves, Crackdown, ReCore, Rare Reboot.

Im sure you'll come back with a list of reasons why each of those games are terrible, this is the escapist after all, negativity rules.

My point is that both systems co-exist, with people happily playing on each. And as such, titles those audience wants being announced are interesting for those who want to play them. The stupidity in trying to play the communities against each other with stuff like this is....who does it benefit?

Well, I could give you a similar list for the Switch, and I don't really prefer Nintendo. Dead Rising isn't an Xbox exclussive by the way. And the reason I picked those exclussves is because they're recent, showing a lot of the fresh new content Sony is pumping out. And quality aside, Sunset Overdrive, Recore and the like haven't exactly made much of a splash.


I'm sorry, but it's pretty well documented that Xbox isn't particularly keeping up with Sony and Nintendo when it comes to exclussives or sales this generation. They're in the same pit Sony was in during the first half of the previous generation, except unlike Sony they don't seem to be climbing out.


This isn't media bias or playing the communities against each other, it's simply stating it how it is.

Sony owns more devs than both Nintendo and Microsoft combined, thus they have more 1st-party games. It's widely been considered a joke how few exclusives Xbone has been able to muster. It's just a simple numbers game.

Um, how was it "great?"

I don't see Battletoads on PS4...

So? The last Battletoads console game sucked!

Cyberpunk 2077 (finally, some gameplay)

Err...that wasn't gameplay. That was a CG, fully rendered trailer. No gameplay. Whatsoever. Sure it looks awesome, and hey it's made by CDPR. But I'm waiting for ACTUAL gameplay footage before I'll even think of getting the game or not.

It surely was an huge improvement over EA.
And so far it looks like the best conference of E3. Not saying much, since, yeah, E3 standard, but... good jarb MS.
