Xbox One: What about the games?

GAMES!

If there was one thing missing from Microsoft’s Xbox One (or Xbone, if you like) event, it was popular, mainstream rappers. It was also missing something quite important for a games console…and that’s games. We know it’s getting Call of Duty, Forza and a new, exclusive, Remedy IP called Quantum Break. But what else can Xboners expect on their console entertainment service set-top boxes?

Xbox One Exclusives

Forza Motorsport 5 – Microsoft Studios/Turn 10
Quantum Break – Microsoft Studios/Remedy Entertainment

Multi-Platform Games

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – Ubisoft/Ubisoft Montreal
Battlefield 4 – Electronic Arts/DICE
Call of Duty: Ghosts – Activision/Infinity Ward
Destiny – Activision/Bungie
FIFA 14 – EA Sports/EA Canada
Madden NFL 25 – EA Sports/EA Tiburon
NBA Live – EA Sports/EA Tiburon
Thief – Square Enix/Eidos Montreal
UFC – EA Sports/EA Canada
Watch Dogs – Ubisoft/Ubisoft Montreal

Those are the ones that have been confirmed – but there are a number of titles that have been announced for “next gen platforms,” a banner which quite probably includes the Xbox One.

The Evil Within – Bethesda/Tango Gameworks
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – CD Project Red
Wolfenstein The New Order – Bethesda/Machine Games

We’ve also been told that there are a number of core-focused exclusives to watch out for – and that of the announced 15 new exclusive IP’s, at least 5 of them are targeted at gamers. We’ also know that Ms will be resurrecting one of RARE’s franchises – so Killer Instinct, Conker, Banjo Kazooie? Maybe even Battletoads?

Anything there fill you with excitement?

    Who cares, you would need to authenticate your games every 24 hours to be able to play them, EVEN SINGLE PLAYER GAMES.
    Sorry, my console purchase is going to Sony.

            Not sure what his surname is. The fat YouTuber that rants a lot. He sounds like he’s got hidden/ half-masticated subway sandwich in his cheeks. He reminds me of an obese squirrel with Tourette’s syndrome.

            Playing Dead Space 3 with him, with his crap choices at making a weapon, and then having to deal with the RAGE every time he died, and wanting to put another game on, but his attitude of “NEVA, this game will not beat me” only for it to beat him again, and again, and again… Some of the darkest hours of my life. It makes learning about the XboxFlum feel like a session with a Chinese masseur, we, the ending anyway…

    It seems people enjoy complaining. Everyone is secretly glad Microsoft announced their entertainment centre last night, they were running out of things to complain about.

    Let me put it to you this way Geoff. If I had a choice between getting either the Xbox One or a PS3, I’d get a PS3… why? Because the current gen PS3 exclusives still sound better than Xbones next gen exclusives.

    a new Kameo would be awesome! I’d say it was the best 360 launch title. Except.. Rockstar Table Tennis!!!

    To be honest, I really don’t care about exclusives until all this DRm nonsense is sorted…Besides, we all know Sony will win that department in any case. Just give them time…Not interested in added features either. What next,? The sound will cut automatically just to hear my fart…? I want a gaming console that gives me the freedom within the ecosystem I need to feel in control…Doesn’t look like the xbox will be doing that…

      Screw all the next gen, you and I can pick up a slim and play alone, as the rest of the world leaves Live (though I think Andre will still be about…)
