Gamespot's PS4 Exclusive list of 2016, PC and xbox fans won't approve

Looks like GS made a confirmed 2016 exclusive list, very similar to the thread I made but I didn't list the games as "exclusive" just games not available for other current gen consoles and I only used confirmed released dates not projections

Here:

After being criticized by some uses for how I categorized my listings for games, I think users looking at this GS listing will find how I decided to list games overwhelmingly preferable. but it's debatable.

Looks like GS took the corporate definition of if a game is not on the other competitors console despite a PC version being available and or if a game is only available for their brand, then it's exclusive.

Let's take a look at GS's PS4 confirmed 2016 exclusive list.

1. UC4
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
3. The Last Guardian
4. Gran Turismo Sport
5. Gavity Rush 2
6. Drawn to Death
7. Ratchet and Clank
8. The Tomorrow Children
9. Street Fighter V
10. Firewatch
11. Dreams
12. What Remains of Edith Finch
13. Hell Blade
14. Nier Automata
15. Shadow of the Beast
16. Alienation
17. Boundless
18. Persona V
19. No Man's Sky
20. The Witness
21. Paragon

How would other consoles stack up under this criteria? Does GS using corporate the definition for listing PS4 exclusives piss you off?

Do you think GS will do an exclusive 2016 list for xbox one and Wii U to compare?

Turn's out GS made a xbox one 2016 exclusive list already, will post here to compare:

1. Gears 4
2. Quantum Break
3. Halo Wars 2
4. Crackdown 3
5. Cuphead
6. Recore?
7. Sea of Thieves
8. Killer Instinct Season 3
9. Gigantic
10. Tocoma
11. Cobalt
12. Oxenfree
13. We Happy Few
14. Superhot

MS rules or just SDC?

How is Odin Sphere not on that list? Otherwise I'd approve.

Persona 5 is awfully far down that list, but at least it made it. Figured Nier would be more hyped, it's a Platinum game after all.

I understand Uncharted 4 topping list especially as it's gonna be coming out in in a few months but, I'm surprised Horizon Zero Dawn's got more hype than many other things, even The Last Guardian which I figure people would want to be cautiously optimistic about.

I'd also put No Man's Sky somewhere more toward the top, space combat and sim games need to make a comeback and I'm all for supporting that any way I can.

I'd of also mentioned Broforce, because that's gonna be awesome when it releases... surprised though it's not released on PS4 yet, what the hell?

Anyhow, half this stuff I'm gonna have to Google, not in the mood for that at the moment.

So basically GS doesn't know what the **** an exclusive is 2016 edition

Doesnt excuse 2 years of nothing, maybe they should have released the ps4 in 2016 when it was ready.

-looks at his PS4 games compared to his Xbox One games- uh yeah, nothing~

think you are confused here, this isn't a hype list. The order means nothing here.

Where are Ni-oh and Yakuza?

How about comparing it to a good console.

lol, what current gen system do you own?

-compares his PS4 games to his PS2 games- ...............SHIT!

Yes, actually I have a few games on my list that even GS doesn't have and I have confirmed release dates for my list. If they are listing 2016 projection games then they are also missing Hot Shot's Golf and confirmed Star Ocean Faithlessness and Integrity, I thnk a few more as well.

If you have to leave this generation to deal with his gripe about PS4 then he has a losers argument to begin with.

Im getting almost everything there

What I don't understand is why people insist on calling it Persona V, when it is very clearly Persona 5.

There's a lot of good games there. 5 or 6 of them that I'm truly interested in.

I'd prefer Gamespot to mention exclusives not by the corporate definition, but it is what it is; the games are exclusive to me since I don't have myself a PC. :P

I don't know what to post between Yakuza 0, the remake of 1, or 6 since Yakuza 0 is confirmed getting a western release while the others are coming this year to japan.

These are multi-plats some of these games not exclusive. I don't know why GameSpot feels the need to try and trick gamers.

9 definite buys (Though, I'm getting NMS on PC in all likelihood, you might call that 8 definite buys for PS4)

3 hard maybes

2 I need to hear more about thems

All in all, shaping up to be a great year for the PS4 as far as I'm concerned.

Honorable mention to Ni-Oh. If that was in the list, and it makes it to 2016, that is also a definite buy. HUGE fan of Akira Kurosawa!

Horizon Zero Dawn looks really interesting.

Trendy?

or

I'd defiantly say that the PC to PS4 games are not exclusive. Even Sony doesn't strictly call them exclusive they make it a point to call them console exclusive. For the brand exclusives I can understand a bit more since they could just say "playstation" but the PC versions are not an option an option for that definition.

Only two jump out to me, GT Sport and R&C. Dunno what the rest are.

I'm only really excited for 3-4 games on that list.

PS4 is going to POUND the competition into irrelevance even more this year. It's scary...

1. UC4
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
3. The Last Guardian
4. Gran Turismo Sport

Happy?

Gamespot to PC F U.

Is clear they are making this about the xbox one and PS4 which are consoles,not even i would call NMS and other like it exclusive.

But never the less they are not on xbox one lucky us.

Nice list.....Firewatch and AlienNation look sweet.

The only game I will play on that list is SFV and it's a mutiplat.

@tormentos: You're lucky that other gamers miss out on enjoying a game? Makes sense.

@intotheminx: Then you're missing out, gravity rush for example is exceptional.

Taking into account GS left off many games that will come out in 2016 I doubt they even make lists for xbox one and wii U. I can see an xbox one list being good but it's just going to look vastly inferior next to this PS4 list which they've already posted.

So these are the games that PC/Xbox/Nintendo gamers have a reason to get a PS4 for in 2016. Honestly that's a great list in of itself. I think I only don't care about Drawn To Death and Dreams (unless I see some amazing stuff being made with it, which is very possible). And then there's the part where I'm not a PC gamer so I'll be getting Street Fighter V, No Man's Sky, Alienation, on top of multiplats. That's a good year for the system. Very much so.

"Exclusives". Lol.

Despite being my most hyped game on PS4 and having the vast majority of gamers play on PS4, Street Fighter V is not exclusive.

That said, Street Fighter V will have the absolute impact of an exclusive in retail markets and anyone who prefer consoles as their go to place to play games.

IMO Street Fighter V being console exclusive to PS4 is going to be the most devastating blow to xbox one over any of the other titles here. It's like when Madden was exclusive to PS2 and not available on Dreamcast, that literally killed the console. Regardless of sales, a title like SF V being console exclusive to PS4 is going to be red light to anyone thinking about buying xbox one in 2016.

@putaspongeon: I don't think so. To be honest, it's not just Sony exclusives. The games I am genuinely excited to play are multiplats(SFV and Overwatch). I wish I could get into Uncharted, but I've never enjoyed 1 enough to even finish lol.

You know the reason is because they didnt do a PC list, so they added console exclusives to the lists as well, right? It doesnt really matter anyways cause the PS4 has almost as many console exclusives as the wii u has games

lol, now no one can criticize my list.

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/1st-half-of-2016-what-each-console-looks-like-with-32897342/

I felt I was being pretty impartial, now even more so. Either way it's a great year for PS4 owners as games like Star Ocean F&I, King of the Fighters XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Street Fighter V and Nier Automata top the charts of most anticipated games of 2016 and PS4 is the only system that can play them all with no exception.

@playharderfool: aren't half these games on PC?

True Xbox One exclusives for 2016:

1. Quantum Break

2. Gears Of War 4

3. Forza Horizon 3(very likely)

4. Crackdown multiplayer beta

Xbox One is a joke in 2016. 3 games and beta. Everything else is on PC too.

This is the Xbone list:

http://www.gamespot.com/gallery/xbox-one-game-exclusives-confirmed-for-2016/2900-434/

They had to really scrape the bottom of the barrel and included Killer Instinct Season 3. Meanwhile they forgot quite a few PS4 exclusives, which is understandable with how many there are.

What I'm looking forward to:

• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• NieR: Automata
• Street Fighter V
• The Last Guardian
• Firewatch
• Alienation (surprised I'm not seeing more hype since it's from the devs that gave us the best launch title this gen and it's releasing soon)
• No Man's sky
• Persona 5
• The Tomorrow Children
• Shadow of the Beast
• Drawn to Death (the beta was really fun and it's F2P anyways)
• Ni-Oh
• Yakuza 0
• Yakuza 6

It's reasonable to include console exclusives for those who don't have or plan on getting a capable PC. But personally I would like to keep track of which games to me are actual reasons for getting a PS4, or what there is to look forward to on Xbox One, and it's harder to get good oversight of this when actual exclusives aren't highlighted. Looking at this list, I'm not entirely sure which those are. Is Hellblade PS4 exclusive or will it also be on PC like Firewatch? I don't know.

V has come to both MGS and GTA.

lol, sorry but no they aren't.

I made special mention to point out that GS didn't make mention of the PC to console titles, that said, you are trying to hard if you want to make it seem like most or even half of those games are on PC because they're not.

thx, this is helpful

@playharderfool: most of the smaller titles are. Indie titles too. No mans sky, tomorrow children, firewatch? Some of the bigger ones as well: street fighter v.

Ps4s main exclusivity will be uncharted 4, ratchet and clank, the last guardian, and horizon zero dawn.

The third game I bought an Xbox One for will finally be released (in the same year as the sequel to the first game, lol Remedy), so I'm kind of ok with it.

The Tomorrow Children isn't on PC. Firewatch, No Man's sky, Street Fighter V, Paragon, Boundless, Hellblade, The Witness, and I think Ni-Oh as well (which isn't even on the list) are on PC.

The majority are Playstation exclusives.

@playharderfool: wait, why can't we criticize your list?

No i am lucky that is not us that miss them.

Ok, so PoS4 is going to have 21 exclusives, but ...... I care only about one, X1 is going to have, in theory, 14 exclusives and ..... holy shit, I only care about one, now that´s really sad, now I´ll have to decide how I´m going to divide those multiplats between both.

@kratosyoloswag: I see. So about 25 percent.

Really it doesn't matter though. Majority (mainstream) of players are on consoles, not PC. So PS4 will be where the money's at. They're really competing more with other consoles (namely, xbox one) than the PC platform with the average joe consumer. So in consumers eyes, these games you can only get on ps4 compared to xbox. That's why PC is pretty irrelevant here.
