We're nearing the end of 2021 and Xbox is still relying on more Halo and Forza

@hardwenzen: right, says the guy who has an irrational hatred for resident evil 8 and super smash bros and metroid. I shouldn't even be surprised you're clowning halo and forza. Please tell me, what playstation franchise is more well known or respected as halo is?? You can put halo at the very top beside franchises like mario and zelda, call of duty and resident evil. Halo is at the peak, the mount Olympus of video games, its practically royalty. Infinite is going to be another epic halo title, that I'm sure of.

It's true, MS and halo is living inside cows heads.

I say that Smash is unplaybly laggy online =/= irrational hatred

I say that RE8 was trash because it didn't feel like a RE game, and just a few days ago, you were telling me how i hate the RE franchise and especially RE4 LOL

Metroid is in prison, and that prison is Nintendo. That's not hatred, its pity.

You're very delusional if you think that Halo is as respected as it once was. I bet you anything that GoW2 will smash Halo Infinite hype. Hell, crappy AssCreed Horizon 2 will get more hype than Infinite. You're stuck in the past. Halo is not what it once was, and with 343i in charge, it will not change for the next decade.

@blaznwiipspman1: Halo 5 is the 46th most played game on Xbox with less players than The Sims 4 lol. Have you been baked since 2007? God of War, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man have all surpassed it.

@ghosts4ever: This is a new one 😂

I totally forgot about this game. I like the art style and hopefully it doesn't change that much but the fact games like Crackdown 3 got revamp so badly, I can't expect this to be any better much less this is a Rare game and Rare's last game Sea of Thieves was okay but didn't really capture the magic they used to be good for.

@davillain-: it'll probably become vaporware like WiLd

This Rare magic feels more like nostalgia blindness.

@Pedro: Replaying Banjo/Kazooie feels more magic than playing Sea of Thieves and is that nostalgic feel? In way it could be but the game itself was a well good platform game. But does it matter what I think about Everwild?

I played Banjo/Kazooie within the last 5 years and it is a solid game for its time. Not sure of the context of the question though? 🤔

2022 will likely be a very good year for exclusive games on all systems. Multiplats and Game Pass have made this a good year for Series s/x. Sure, exclusives are great, but they make up such a small percent of a library.

SW focuses on exclusives way too much, as if this is a corporate war instead of a gamers' war.

We're nearing the end of 2021, and you've only said two different things this year.

Difference is, MS has a solid plan now with many studios constantly releasing games. Sony never did that.

Yeahhhhh I'd still rather have the Xbox at this point in time and looking ahead

Returnal?

@NathanDrakeSwag Damn, that's actually pretty funny 😂

Oh no.., Avowed & Everwild were 2 new IP's that I was actually interested in tbh. Not good news lately for either of them it seems...

Both could go the way of Scalebound I guess

They have a bunch of IPs they could use

I mean, Microsoft just give Banjo and Conker to Double Fine.

After Psychonauts 2, I'm convinced they would do a great job with those franchises.

@NathanDrakeSwag:And what new IP does Sony have? Returnal? That was 3rd party when it launched. Not any different than saying "The Gunk is a new IP for Xbox"

If you want to talk true first party, as in "the game was released as a new IP from a 1st party studio, then Starfield is the only one I know of for either.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Halo Guardians sold around 9 million. And here we are, in a thread where a cow is talking about a "new IP advantage" for Playstation; when then only new IP sold 500K.

Wow!
