Does Xbox One really have better games?

The Last of Us (95), Final Fantasy Realm Reborn (86), MLB14 The Show (83), Infamous Second Son (80), Killzone ShadowFall (73) and Drive Club (72) are all pretty good games. That's at least 4 games with a Metacritic score above an 80. 

Let's be honest, Xbox only dropped 8 retail exclusives so far (only one more game than PS4). Out of those 8 xbox games, only 2 have a Metacritic score above an 80: TitanFall (86), Forza Horizon 2 (86), Forza 5 (79), Dead Rising 3 (78), Dance Central (74), Kinect Sports (60), Ryse (60) and Fighter Within (23). 

Its amazing how Xbox fans try convincing themselves that Xbox has "more games" as a consolation prize to the fact that PS4 is outselling the Xbox One worldwide. Both consoles have about the same amount of quality retail games. It all comes down to which lineup interests you the most. Keep in mind, this doesn't include the downloadable gsmes. A category in which PS4 crushes X1. I think we can confirm PS4 has the better library.

So,the point of your thread is...?

Well MS is giving away upwards of 33% of their exclusives, so who knows what will happen down the road.

Seriously.

Also, Bayonetta 2>all of that.

all about perception i guess...

I'm actually struggling to think of what games I want to buy when I get my Xbox One. Outside of the Master Chief collection, the only game I really want is Forza 5 and I'll hold off with Sunset Overdrive until I hear some reviews about the game.

@MonsieurX: Use your brain and you'll find out.

Forza Horizon 8.0 >>>>>>>>>> Flop Club 5.0

@speedfreak48t5p: 11.5 million consoles>>>>>>>5.7

Better games overall? No.

Better fall/holiday line up? Yes.

@Sagemode87: what does that have to do with which has the better game library?

@lostrib: it has about the same relevance as his comment, thanks...

@Sagemode87: gr8 goal post moving m8

only xbox fanboys will say xbox got better exclusives but to me i think its the same old crap besides Quantum and sunset the rest is nothing but halo and forza? everythink else is pretty much times exclusives on the other hand sony has alot of exclusives and more to show thats what i see in my eyes

Yep, MCC. Kills anything the PS4 has by a ton.

@Sagemode87: you never seem to be able to back up your statements. You're quite a sad troll

This is the general consensus. The PS4 doesn't have any games. I didn't start that line, PS4 owners did.

Right from the horses mouth.

The number of regretful PS4 owners outweigh ONE owners by a considerable amount when you listen to their cries on here and Twitter.

Better than PS4 , yes . But worse than Wii U .

The truth is that PS4 AND Xbone have a lackluster exclusive library untill now.

But this will change, especially for PS4, knowing they have great first party devs. The games will come but developing a game now costs al lot of money and a LOT of time.

PS4 is a good investment...As for Xbone...just LOL

As a PS4/X1 owner I can tell you I've been playing my Xbox 90% of the time this year.

I didn't get TLoU Remastered because I had just played the PS3 version and didn't want to buy it again, Infamous was only alright, FH2 is considerably better than Driveclub so I won't be picking that up. That leaves Sony with....LBP to carry them through the holiday. That and a bunch of third party games that can be played elsewhere.

X1 had a rocky start too, I mostly just used it to play Killer Instinct with friends and Titanfall every now and then. But the holiday they have set up is epic. MCC collection is a crazy amount of content, if you like Halo or not you have to recognize what they've done here. Throw in the chaotic Sunset Overdrive and the epic FH2 and you have a solid exclusive line-up combined with all the heavy hitting third party games. The X1 gives you the most variety of games this holiday IMO.

I don't think anyone's saying Xbox has more games, they just have harder hitting first party games with more potential. Sony releases a decent remaster for TLoU (which isn't even old)....MS brings back every Halo in HD. Sony announces the "Forza Killer" Driveclub, flops and is just a decent racing game. Sony's best exclusive shooter is KZ...vs Halo and Titanfall...Infamous vs Sunset. Point is, anything that Sony has tried (game wise), MS has proved they can do it even better.

Ironically, the current lackluster ones are from first party.

Sucker Punch- Infamous SS

Guerrila Games- Killzone Shadow Fall

SCE Japan- Knack

Evolution- Driveclub

Pixelopus- Entwined

And while not next gen, Santa Monica made GOW Ascension

Pixelopus- Entwined

For now, only ND and MM remain with UC4 and Tearaway Unfolded.

I hope GG's Project Horizon turns out well, because that concept art looks amazing

It all comes down to personal preference. And there isn't a must have title on either side, so I'm guessing its going to be multiplats selling these consoles again this year. Next year it may be different since both should have a decent 1st party by then, but I still dont believe they can out weight the strength of the 3rd party available in each system. I myself have 12 games on the PS4 with only 3 being exclusive, on the other side I have 4 games on the xbone with 2 being exclusive, well if Horizon 2 is considered exclusive.

Well, remember Uncharted 1?

Devs need to learn how to program for the console, even though the architecture is "easier" to program for now. First games of next-gen consoles are most of the time mediocre.

@Sagemode87: no it doesn't , it runs multiplats worse, its exclusive lineup is pretty garbage besides FH2, it's pretty much inferior in almost everyway besides Halo which I love ,

Programming has something to do with the core of the game itself?

If by better you mean no, then yes.

This is not Metacritic, this is GS. List the GS scores. And, look at the quality of those games. Really, be honest, wouldn't you rather play Forza Horizon than Drive Club, or TitanFall over MLB 14? C'mon, now...

And, what difference does it make if the PS4 sells more? The XBox One is selling well enough to get full 3rd party support.

"Killzone ShadowFall (73) and Drive Club (72) are all pretty good games."

LMAO your a joke

No

Ps4 games also suck

Why even start a thread like this. Cows are going to say PS4 has a better lineup and lems with say XOne has better games. What's the point?

BTW we all know you're a cow sage. I'm guessing you're hoping for some sort of cow circle jerk.

Halo: MCC is a better purchase than any PS4 game.

Otherwise Xbone has factually less games and less good games, not that the PS4 is anything special though.

according to reviews, say say that Bayonetta 2 is not even top 10 game this year.

say say that you need to stop posting

Stop lying

Its fact. Look metacritic. you lost.

lulz goal post shift.

@FreedomFreeLife: except we're on GameSpot.

You lost, again

You always lose anyway.

The Xbox One offers a more-interesting selection of games even if the list of games it has is smaller.

Kinda like the Wii U.

Don't Know don't Care.... I just want a Wii U.

It's all subjective.

Myself and many others prefer PlayStation games. Many prefer Nintendo games. It's all personal preference.

titanfall, dead rising 3, forza horizon 2 and ryse aren't exclusives bruh. Xbone doesn't know what an exclusive is.

@StormyJoe: Nice goalpost moving. Lems went from "haha Xbox 720 will crush PS4" to "well it's getting 3rd party support" lol pathetic.

This. I have both consoles and both really haven't done anything but it is still early in this gen.

@StormyJoe: Only time you gotta use gs scores is hype threads.

Nope. Thus far there is nothing on the X1 that interests me. Hence why I'm not planning on picking one up any time soon.

Does X1 have better games? Yes. /thread

Of course, if you understand and have the knowhow, experience it will cost less time to develop a game and thus have more time for other aspects of making a game.
