Its quite obvious that EG were talking about quality, not list wars.
Then why exclude inFamous and The Last of Us?

You've been called out enough, no need to continue that stuff.MS can pay how much they want for articles like that in Europe. Doesn't matter Xbox is dead in Europe and no chances for a revival...
I like a thing. Wait, that person doesn't like a thing?! OMG THEIR BIASED!!!
I really still can't understand how people aren't agreeing with the article. First it's not comparing the PS4 to the One, so half the posts in this thread are irrelevant immediately. Then you've got the fact that it actually says the PS4 is a great system but it's just lacking in games that you can't play elsewhere. It's literally the truth, however you look at it.
Then you've got other people in this thread going "well who cares, exclusives don't sell consoles!" which, if they'd bothered to read the article before raving about how biased Eurogamer are, they'd see that it actually says that.
Bizarre, really.
They have Digital Foundry thoughman the anger in some of these posts
eurogamer has always been a click bait site. they dont deserve any respect
I honestly don't understand it. I mean, it's a literal fact that the PS4 has more games than the XBO. The list floating around shows that very handily - so why this narrative? Why these ridiculous articles?
They has Digital Foundry though
games dont sell consoles, specs and hype do
And FIFA. Don't forget FIFA. If you don't have FIFA on your platform, you're doomedI think some of yall are really under estimating the amount of people that buy consoles just to play cod or madden.

If sheer numbers wasa ll that mattered, sony/nswould jusy create a load of studios and let them run wild.
If it came to list wars, PC would be the best gaming platform in history.
Fact is, in terms of quality big name games, they havent been there in the way that they have been elsewhere.
And i dont know in what world a load of indie ports makes a worthy replacement for the types of games console gamers on the whoke have come to exppect. The vast majority wont have bought a ps4 for indies.
because the article already pointed out that some of the best games can be played on ps3 (tlou) and they don't consider infamous to be a killer app( eurogamer gave it a 7)Then why exclude inFamous and The Last of Us?
Utter crud. Typical media can't stand to see PS4 do well.
So uh, what's so great about the gameplay from the XB1's exclusives? Like actual only-on-Xbox One exclusives.Great gameplay, yet fail to mention anything that's actually notable about said gameplay. You guys aren't helping your case. Whenever I:SS is mentioned it's almost always about graphics, not it's mechanics, content or systems. The response the Driveclubs gameplay is middling, I don't need to mention Killzone etc.
I'll hold off on the order since it's not out but you see my point..
If these games are not as mediocre like your implying people should be finding it easier to state notable things about said games that set them apart, and yet almost every time I hear one of these games come up the it's almost always about the graphics. That's why I said the graphics are the only notable things about these games.
So, they disregard cross gen games like Diablo 3 and last gen ports like TLOU:R because they can be played on the older system? With that line of thinking, they shouldn't count the MCC since it's a collection of ports that can originally be played on the previous system. They shouldn't also count FH2 since it's also cross gen and can be played on the 360. Taking those two out, the only true AAA exclusives that the XB1 has are Sunset Overdrive and Forza 5.
Well it comes down to the exclusives, OS, friends and ecosystems you prefer.
I traded in my PS4 towards an Xbox One because of the criteria listed above.
Ryse (Also on PC)
Killer Instinct
Forza 5
Forza Horizon 2 (Also on Xbox 360)
Titanfall (Also on PC & Xbox 360)
Plants vs Zombies (Also on PC & PS4)
Halo MCC (remaster) *when it works* (3 out of 4 Halo games are also on Xbox 360)
Sunset Overdrive
they haven't even written the article about the xbox one, how are they being hypocritical?Exactly. I just love hypocrisy within the media.
The problem with this line of thinking is when AAA games come out and sell bad and we have indies selling more who is to say that some AAA games matter more.
Thats your opinion TLOU remastered is still the best rated game of the year with your Halo:redeemed edition 0.5 points behind.
It's not really an exclusive. The highest rated PS4 exclusive this year clocks in at a sweet 80 on Metacritic. You're allowed to be happy with your PS4, no doubt, but don't shit the bed when there's clear reasons for others to be disappointed with the machine.
Not enough ad revenue in being reasonable like that. You would think there is some parallel universe where Microsoft was not relying on super aggressive price cutting and bundling to maybe take two months out of the whole year. If Titanfall, Forza, and SO were what people make them out to be, you would not be able to get the system, four Halo games (or two AC games) and a gift card for $330 on Black Friday. People want to exist in some twilight zone where their own (dreadful) opinion counts for more than what is actually happening in the market.if there are no games you like - don't buy the system, buy a different system or just wait and miss nothing.
but you should tolerate that there are people out there who disagree and have fun with the toy you do not like.
If it came to list wars, PC would be the best gaming platform in history.
Is there someplace that tracks indie sales? I always figured that since they were digital it would be tough to know for sure how much they are selling.
But anyway, the line of thinking you replied to seems like a valid thought process to me. I have a hard time believing that the decline of AAA games has been because people like indies better. I think that people are buying indies because that's pretty much all that's been offered this year.
In my opinion AAA seems to have fallen off the sales cliff because these AAA developers have turned into factories that are just iterating on past successes instead of pushing new ideas. A lot of people aren't willing to shell out $60 for the same game they played a year ago. The sequel bubble needs to burst. AAA titles must be worthy of their price tag, and they haven't really been worthy of it for several years.
Most of the ones that can be considered better are available on last gen or on PC.I'm surprised by the popularity of the PS4 versus its lack of games, to be honest. Xbox One has notably better games.
lol
The media has been Sony's best friend since MS announced those horrible DRM policies. They were too nice in this article.
But The Last of Us on PS4 is not the same as on PS3. It offers the whole new experience that is nowhere to be found on the PS3 version ( 1080p, 60fps, photo mode...) So you can't remove it from the list.because the article already pointed out that some of the best games can be played on ps3 (tlou) and they don't consider infamous to be a killer app( eurogamer gave it a 7)

Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2 (next-gen version is the real one), Halo: MCC
Ryse and DR3 were superior exclusives, too, at the time of launch.
Then why is it a problem if the consumer dont care?Im just saying thats the point of the article. There are alot of games but most are on like 4 other devices like I said. Xbox 360, PS3, xbox one and PC. Yes consumers dont care but thats the point. Theres not anything wrong with it but it is what it is. Same games on the 4 on like everything else. Theres no special gameplay or anythinf with it. Im not sure why people see it as offensive on something thats just the plain ol truth.
uh yes you can. the author also talks about how increased frame rate and resolution of the ps4 versions aren't enough to keep his enthusiasm up about spending money on a new consoleBut The Last of Us on PS4 is not the same as on PS3. It offers the whole new experience that is nowhere to be found on the PS3 version ( 1080p, 60fps, photo mode...) So you can't remove it from the list.

Yeah i find it weird that the media basically ignores it. My favourite game in the series.Just finished infamous second son and as a guy who couldn't stand the first two, I adored this. Shame the gamespot first year review didn't even mention it at all when referring to ps4 exclusives. It's a must have imo.
Exactly. I just love hypocrisy.
Replies in bold.
Yeah, I just finished it last night. Great game. I enjoyed the story as well. First Light was also great.Just finished infamous second son and as a guy who couldn't stand the first two, I adored this. Shame the gamespot first year review didn't even mention it at all when referring to ps4 exclusives. It's a must have imo.
Edit - so did Eurogamer. What's going on with infamous, one of the best looking current gen games, being ignored?
All Nintendo has are exclusives. There's no 3rd parties willing to develop for it. And the ps4 exclusives are good this year. I'll debate junior opinions with junior opinions, any day.PS4 exclusive games this year are not good and this article is 100% correct. Wii U and Xbox one owners got better exclusives.

They both had the same amount of games you couldn't play on the other system.I think the point is he/she couldn't play all but one of these games on the PS4.
