All 3 systems have better games coming out in 2014 then 90% of the games that came out for last gen for the entire generation.

Simply cannot wait for DK Country, KI Season 2, Below, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, X, Shadow of the Beast, Oddworld, Driveclub, Titanfall, and whatever Sony has up their sleeve that they will reveal later.

Fantastic work Shinobi

Now stop making my wallet hurt.

 

[noah111]

They are an independent developer and Microsoft made the best deal to bankroll the kind of game they wanted to make.

What more reason is necessary?

None, it's just given how they broke the news to everyone about going multi-plat and all, I guess it made them seem like they genuinely cared about making games that as many people as possible get to play. So in that context, it's like going backwards again on what they said.

In any case it is what it is, just curious.

Goddammit if Sunset Overdrive is Ratchet-tier, it will be very hard to resist getting an Xbone

As someone who replayed through Up Your Arsenal about 68 times, I'd have to agree.

I really don't want to own two consoles this gen but that's proving difficult to do. Wonder if i'll be able to say the same a two years from now.

So

XB1: 9 next gen console exclusives
PS4: 19 next gen console exclusives
Multiplatform: 18 next gen games

So PS4 has more exclusives announced than multiplatform games announced and it has 10 more announced exclusives than XB1?!?!?! Wow!!!!!!! That's unreal O o

But which of those 19 are indies, downloadables, or just plain not good.

I'd still the playing field is pretty even as far as quality games go.

 

[Anticitizen One]

There's like 14 games there I definitely want to play. :/

Just like us 90s gamers had to accept the cold hard truth so must 00s gamers discover that tastes change and people move to different genres and different types of games become in vogue. It's a new era now.

Doesn't Sony have considerably more studios than Microsoft does? And all of Sony's studios are working on PS4 games so if I'm right Sony has more games (and more opportunities to have truly quality titles) than MS does.

Sorry bro, we're in the 20-teens now. We're getting old.

edit: edited my edit.. didn't realize the post was in response

 

[Sean*O]

Witcher 3 looks great, hope the final product can live up to those screens.

 

[Maximus.]

Lots of good looking games coming out for the PS4, I am excited

 

[unknownstranger]

I thought The Witcher 3 was releasing in March (or Spring at least).

 

[Tmecha]

awesome thread, just tells me im going to need all systems and I will be broke in 2014.

 

[Zalman]

Great job with this thread. I gotta admit there aren't that many games here that interest me, to be honest.

I'll be getting:
inFamous: Second Son
Watch Dogs

Also these (not sure if they're 2014 or not):
Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts III (DEFINITELY not 2014)
Mirror's Edge
Uncharted 4

I might get:
DriveClub
The Order 1886

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Another great thread, Shinobi, cheers (although it's still missing quite a few notable games like Rime, Uncharted 4 and Fable Legends, but I understand it's a work in progress). Adding Wii U to the mix would also be nice.

I suppose things are going to get even more interesting after the VGX, and then again after the GDC (where I presume Microsoft might finally launch their ID@Xbox program). It's not a bad start to the generation, not at all.

 

[T.O.P]

Almost all must buy for me

-Below
-D4
-Halo
-Plants vs Zombies GW
-Project Spark
-Quantum Break
-Sunset Overdrive
-Titanfall
-The Crew
-Destiny
-The Division
-Dragon Age Inquisition
-Dying Light
-The Evil WItihin
-MGS
-The Witcher 3

gonna be a great year dayum



btw, isn't Strider supposed to come out in 2014?

 

[Hammer24]

D4 looks interesting. At least after the success of the Borderlands franchise I had hoped to see more cell shading games. I´ll cross my fingers this´ll turn out good.

 

[Prompto]

Damn I better start saving money now.

 

[mocoworm]

EPIC OP Shinobi.

Awesome.

 

[Speevy]

I can't wait to try Infamous.

You'd think they would give us a demo this year.

 

[Pistolero]

Doesn't Sony have considerably more studios than Microsoft does? And all of Sony's studios are working on PS4 games so if I'm right Sony has more games (and more opportunities to have truly quality titles) than MS does.

I think it's the opposite, actually. Sony has 15 first party studios, while Microsoft has about 20, if wikipedia is to be trusted...

 

[Marvel]

Great time to be a gamer... I really need to start saving up for a PS4 also.

 

[benny_a]

MS has more studios, Sony has significantly more employees.
SOE alone fired more employees on a single day two years ago than the 12 smallest studios by Microsoft combined.

 

[Sickbean]

Wow, such games, so excite.

Seriously though, fun times ahead for 2014 - is it just me or are developers making a big return to more colourful games these days? Hopefully 50 shades of brown will be less and less common.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I think it's the opposite, actually. Sony has 15 first party studios, while Microsoft has about 20, if wikipedia is to be trusted...

PD, ND, SSM, GG, SCEJ, Bend, Sucker Punch, Quantic Dream, Media Molecule, San Diego, Ready at Dawn how can MS have more?

 

[AniHawk]

I don't get why you would even say that. So we should not be excited for what's to come? Impressive or not it's exciting. These consoles just launched and a new generation is underway.

it was a clumsy way of doing it, but i was trying to get people to understand how others think instead of being outright dismissive. i never said you shouldn't be excited. i don't even know where you'd get that idea. if anything, i think people can be excited about next year no matter what platforms they choose.

 

[Chinner]

year 2014 will be year of wario. mark it on your calender, 2014 will be the year nintendo turns the wii u around and wins the console war.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

PD, ND, SSM, GG, SCEJ, Bend, Sucker Punch, Quantic Dream, Media Molecule, San Diego, Ready at Dawn how can MS have more?

Microsoft seemingly has more studios at the moment, but they're not necessarily all game studios (some seem to be producing mostly apps or original TV content), and many of them are brand new, with no proven track record.

Regardless, great games can come from unexpected sources, just as it's possible for veteran studios to produce duds. And then there are first party publishing deals with independent developers, which muddy the waters even more. In any case, I'd say they're both well positioned to provide their customers with plenty of worthwhile games.

 

[Fjordson]

Man, I've been thinking for a while now that I would pick up a PS4 sometime in the next few months and that was it. But this thread is reminding me that Xbone has some really interesting games also. Would rather not drop the cash for both systems, but I still like Halo and as a big fan of Remedy I'll probably have to play Quantum Break. My wallet is gonna be hurting soon =[

 

[Prince Vultan]

How many have you played that you can already make such an assessment of overall quality?

 

[erawsd]

Exactly. I also don't understand why we'd exclude indy games. Games like Minecraft, Bastion, and Braid are among the finest games released this past gen.

 

[shinobi602]

Witcher 3 looks great, hope the final product can live up to those screens.

Easily. CDPR never disappoints in that department.

 

[DoubleTake]

Damn ive never really been one to play indie games, but ill be damned if those ones in the OP dont make me intrigued.

I think ill be playing ALOT of lower budget games this year and ill be better for it cash and gaming wise lol

Thank You based Sony.

 

[The Albatross]

I wonder to myself how many of these early announced games will never come out or be delayed into oblivion. Happens in every generation

 

[Alcoholikaust]

So many great looking titles next year-I cannot wait!

 

[True Underdog]

Wallet am cry.

 

[Sushen]

But which of those 19 are indies, downloadables, or just plain not good.

I'd still the playing field is pretty even as far as quality games go.

How come games for one platform is assumed all good while the others is assumed half "plain not good" even without playing any?

 

[FlyStarJay]

i am very much interested in "Bound by Flames" and quantum break for for xbox one

 

[methane47]

SO MUCH GAMES

 

[Maninthemirror]

Looks like the best year after launch year yet

 

[luxstellarum]

God damn. Will I even have enough money for all this?

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Really looks like a great lineup for both consoles. lets just hope that the majority of those titles don't slip to 2015 or beyond.

 

[Alucrid]

Never heard of Bound By Flame until now. Will check it out, thanks OP

 

[Ricky_R]

Read title, glanced at the OP and then looked at my wallet.

 

[jcracken]

We have a Metal Gear game.
We have Deep Down.
We have The Evil Within.
Were you expecting something more from the land of portables?

I'm sure we'll get an Ultra Street Fighter IV port. That counts, right?

Don't forget D4.

 

[KOHIPEET]

My wallet is screaming. I will pick up an X1 just for halo, but 2014 definitely won't be the year I will. There are just way too many games for PS4 right now.

Also, to me it's The Order which stands out the most, somehow it's graphics just screams next-gen.

 

[Ephemeris]

I neeeeed a release date

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Below is only a timed exclusive to XOne, right? Looks cool, hope it comes to PS4 and/or PC.


EDIT: Google answered my questions:

"Like many games on stage at E3, Below will be available on the Xbox One first. Then, after a period of time, Capy can bring it elsewhere," the developer said. It noted that "It's always been this way," though it couldn't talk about it at E3. Things were a bit crazy at the time.

Awesome.

 

[noah111]

How many have you played that you can already make such an assessment of overall quality?

I haven't, but from the titles i'm looking at it doesn't seem so incredibly polarizing to say the PS4 has all the best titles. There's good stuff all around.

(note, i'm getting a PS4)

 

[shinobi602]

Added Galak-Z for the PS4. Looks great!

 

[Mondy]

Definitely getting:

- Titanfall
- Destiny
- The Order
- South Park RPG
- Infamous: SS
- Watch Dogs




Wait and see:

- Below
- Bound by Flame
- deep down
- Octodad
- Shadow of the Beast
- Child of Light
- The Division
- Mad Max
- Thief

"indies/downloadable titles aren't real games"

 

[mattp]

i almost wish they would stop even calling anything "indie" or "downloadable"
games are games

its so fucking stupid that anyone has the mindset of "oh well those are just indie games"
