Random gaffer makes more useful graphs than Polygon confirmed

Each game had a "type" associated with it, including whether shooting was a main or primary mechanic. I put together these graphs to show if a game's gameplay was primarily "about" shooting or about something else.
And finally, exclusivity of games to the platform. I tried to be accurate but I'm sure there will be a game or two that is actually multiplat when I though it was exclusive or visa-versa.
MS side we have.
Crackdown 3.
Phantom Dust
Scalebound
This three probably are 2016 releases, did you include them in 2015?
Oh man that sounds like a great lovecraft monsterMaybe this guy is really Nogylop, the reincarnation of polygon making his presence known at the Tenkaichi Neogaf.
Liking these graphs. Just hope you don't get a PM from Polygon anytime soon as a result
Edit: When you say exclusivity, did you put 'console debut/exclusive' as multiplatform?
yeah I will when I get a chance, I'm busy watching the kings game right nowThat's pretty cool.
Maybe you could let people take a look at the data you used to make this stuff, so people can help you correct any mistake?
Should make a graph for:
Games where you murder everything
Games where you dont murder anything
Nice work on all the graphs, very interesting data. Got me curious on what exactly were the exclusives shown at each conference.
your graph has quite a few more, I assume mostly indie stuff? I don't remember which ones were shown off the top of my head)l
Oh, so people really were exaggerating with their "everything's coming out in 2015 lol fail" nonsense.
these graphs make more sense than a polygon article
True, but I don't think anybody's conference was their entire E3.I really think post-Digital Event games should be included.
Nintendo's E3 wasn't only DE.
This was how games were revealed or discussed at the shows. If they showed gameplay or even simulated gameplay, it went in the gameplay category. If they showed only cutscenes or straight-up CG, it went in the "nothing like gameplay" category. Talking was when they just mentioned a game, and possibly a logo or concept art, with nothing to show for it.
According to the graphs the following games are all feature shooting:Wow more percentage shooters at Sony's conference
Hard to classify some games. I'm glad the OP did the graphs although we should all realize that it won't be 100% accurate.According to the graphs the following games are all feature shooting:
Fable Legends
Dragon Age Inquisition
Scalebound
Cuphead
Kingdom under Fire
Uncharted 4
While the following games do not feature shooting:
Yoshi's Wooly World (Throwing I guess)
Zelda Wii U uses a bow and arrow fall towards its target
(Hyrule Warriors the same)
Xenoblade X they might have assault rifles but it's in space so that doesn't count
Bloodborne
Way too inconsistently applied. Sometimes projectiles are shooting, other times a gun is shown and that means it showed shooting and other times a gun is shown and it wasn't counted
I like the graphs. But it's kinda off a little since the stuff Nintendo showed after the digital event, as well as stuff like Fantasia and D4 not counting since they were there but not at the conference
Numbers OP.....not percentages.
My take:MS' and Sony's offering will look WAY more impressive when shown in numbers. They showed more games and more gameplay and they have more exclusives than Nintendo.
While percentages work in Nintendo's favor.
My take:
