Poll With Knack and Killzone flops, does the xbone seem more appealing? (194 votes)

Yes 37%
No 61%

Now that highly publicized Playstation 4 launch games have been a huge world wide disappointment with a general critical consensus of "meh" does this monumental failure now make the xbone appeal as the hero you deserve? Because it can take it?

It's disappointing that the more freeform designed levels apparently was a bit of a bamboozle, a little hoodwink. Might not have bothered picking up Killzone, had I gotten a PS4.
Knack could only go up from where it charted on my radar. Unfortunate that it didn't, but it doesn't affect me any.

The XB1's offering is the same as it's always been, so no, no impact on that at all.
I suppose what it does do is reaffirm my decision that I made the right choice postponing my next-gen purchase.

Sure the PS4 have the weaker launch, but they're going to be in trouble if there's PS4 and PSN failures.

Wow. Shadow Fall was a surprise even though Killzone games have always been average or worse. That means Forza is guaranteed to be the crown jewel of the exclusive launch titles unless Ryse or DR3 can step up to the plate. That was the one game Sony was banking on. That's why they waited this long to allow reviews.

because a 90+ and an 80+ on Metacritic it's soooo average.... lol

Really? Guerrilla games have always been sub-par. Maybe that's a bit harsh, judging by the review the online in Shadow Fall is pretty decent, but it sounds like they made some pretty amateurish mistakes in the campaign.

I was honestly expecting no less than a 90 on MC. I would've been shocked with anything under an 85 but the last time I checked it was a 71. That game must have a lot of problems.

All Killzone had going for it was graphics. And even on that incredibly shallow anemic level, pc outclassed this game years before release.

I love the KZ franchise. I seriously doubt a review is going to stop me from enjoying it.

Knack a 4??? It seemed like a really entertaining game. That's just crazy.

Still not. Both launch line-ups look terrible. I'll wait a year before jumping into next gen. Until then I've plenty to play on my PS3 and PC. This is why I never buy consoles day 1. Faulty hardware and terrible software you can get later on with cheap prices

Of course it does... Don't we play games in system wars? The platform with the better games always seems more appealing.

I think what the Xbox One is doing right makes it more appealing than what the PS4 is doing wrong. All these PS4 launch games flopping just helps people that didn't preorder decide whether they should get a PS4 at launch. And if it's already too late and have it paid off, then they'll have buyers remorse for months to come.

Although I dont think it is enough to warrant a purchase... I do believe the best looking game from both launches is DR3. The only other game that is appealing is FF15, both will have this.

Deep Down could be a sleeper.... although I was not impressed with the clunky UI in that video a month back.

Wii U looks like the clear choice this holiday atm.

No. Launch line ups are always terrible for the most part..From the looks of it though, the PS4 is going to be pretty badass. It just isn't now.

And you can bet your ass cows are going to hear it. And rightfully so. It's gonna be lovely.

scores don't really chance anything for me, i could still enjoy knack

but with a 4/10, I'm just in less of a hurry to grab a ps4.

xb1 is still equally as appealling - not going to spend any money in a hurry, either.

Xbone launch games will be just as mediocre. Forza looks like the best racing sim ever made, but it's got way too few cars and tracks and doesn't add much of anything over the predecessors other than the new laser-scanning technique for the tracks, which most people wont notice unless they're really into motorsport. So all those things will go against it.

Dead Rising 3 might be fun as hell but with the shitty graphics and poor frame rates, that'll bog down the review scores.

Ryse looked like ass from day one.

@YD_11: why exactly? Its launch line-up doesnt look any good at all. Only Forza 5 has a slightly chance of getting AAA and even that I'm not even sure since Forza 4 had a LOT more than Forza 5 and only got to AA

not just the games my friend. The UI, snapping, tv, online and Kinect features all add to it.

Literally all the ps4 had to offer was better specs and their exclusive games.. So far no dice

@YD_11:

UI - Subjective and you havent tried neither

Snapping? - Dont know whats this

TV - I buy gaming consoles for games. Fvck TV

Online - You havent tried PS4 online. Many morons are confusing PS3 PSN with PS4 PSN wich is NOT the same. PSN will be a paid service now. It'll most certainly will be better than PS3 online. If its equal or better than XBL only time will tell. Dont pull facts out of your a**

Kinect - The PS4 will also have its own camera thing with PSEye wich, going by several statements, can do everything Kinect does i.e. facial recognition, voice control, etc, etc. The only difference is that Sony isnt trying to shove it down our throats and in the process increase the retail price of its console because of it.

Concluding, even with a terrible launch line-up, the PS4 still looks like the best console out of the three. And it will be in the long term. Sony already proved it has one of the best 1st party in the industry. MS is laughably bad when it comes to exclusives.

If I cared about having a system right at launch, the XB1 looks like the more fun console. The games look better/interest me more than Sony's.

But I don't, so no not really. I'm playing the waiting game.

True I haven't tried the ps4 UI but did read some of the system reviews stating issues it was having. Besides, from the demos I've seen of both running flawlessly, the X1 wins easy.

TV integration works as I can watch tv and still get game invites and such. Plus, snapping is essentially having two applications (games, internet, tv, music, Skype, etc.) picture in picture style. I cam have a game on in the corner of the screen while I play a game for example.

I trust online will still be better with XBL as they have added cloud service and dedicated servers for all devs.

Kinect is far superior and is already fully featured in the UI. Plus it can see in the dark which eases playing in various lighting styles.

The saving grace for console exclusives this year will probably be Forza. The game deserves more sales.

I still think PC is a way better choice for this generation.

The games on XONE were already more appealing before the reviews came for the PS4 games. Just not appealing enough to warrant the high price of entry.
