Otaku Dome’s second to last list of upcoming 8th generation games we can’t wait to play continues from 2014 and beyond. This time it’s for Xbox One and will include timed exclusives as well. It comes in no particular order.
NUMBER ONE: TITANFALL
After it’s initial unveiling at E3 2013, Titanfall shocked the world with it’s stellar gameplay and stunning visuals. Taking over 60+ E3 awards with one journalist deeming it Xbox One’s killer app, Titanfall is looking to change the FPS genre as a whole and with parkour, mechs, and massive multiplayer gameplay how can it not?
NUMBER TWO: BELOW
Taking to heart their promise of more indy games, Microsoft announced Below a side-scroller in which the player is a hero with a sword and shield. Not much is known about the title besides darkness being a big part of it.
NUMBER THREE: D4
Taking on a episodic model similar to TellTale’s games, D4 tells the story of a currently unnamed private investigator who has the ability to travel through time in order to stop the murder of his wife, but there are limits as to how the power works.
NUMBER FOUR: SUNSET OVERDRIVE
The first non-Sony title from Insomniac Games, Sunset Overdrive has beautiful visuals and interesting gameplay. Sunset Overdrive will be a game we’ll keep our eyes on until it’s impending release.
NUMBER FIVE: PLANTS VS ZOMBIES: GARDEN WARFARE
The cult hit Plants vs Zombies returns, but this time in console and third-person shooter form. Allowing gamers to play as the Zombies or the first time, PvZ Garden Warfare allows players to have multiplayer, tower defense fun in a beautiful 3D world.
NUMBER SIX: PROJECT SPARK
Microsoft’s new game maker game, Project Spark lets players create their own unique worlds rather it’s a game, movie, or something else that they desire. The level of freedom and creativity should bring about some awe inspiring content.
NUMBER SEVEN: FABLE LEGENDS
The next entry into Microsoft’s long running Fable franchise. Set before the events of the first game, this upcoming title allows you to play as the hero or villain as well as playing alongside four other players.
NUMBER EIGHT: HALO 5
The next installment into Microsoft’s acclaimed Halo franchise. Not much is known about this upcoming sequel, but it will be interesting to see what direction 343 takes Halo with next-gen technology.
NUMBER NINE: QUANTUM BREAK
The upcoming game to TV series from Remedy Entertainment, not much is known about it besides time manipulation being involved and that an interactive TV series will be coming with players of the game having an affect on the TV series.
NUMBER TEN: KINECT SPORTS RIVALS
Looking to rival Nintendo’s Wii Sports series, Microsoft’s Kinect Sports Rivals will bring new and improved Kinect controls and gameplay to the Xbox One as well as introduce new sports to the franchise such as jet ski racing, rock climbing, and target shooting.
sunset overdrive, titanfall, halo 5, quantum break, fable legends, etc…
oh man, 2014 is going to be an awesome year.
Yeah this coming year is perhaps one of the strongest for gaming from recent memory.
First game on the list isn’t even a exclusive.
Exclusive to Microsoft.
Title of article says “Xbox One Exclusives”, not Microsoft exclusives.
And I doubt Titanfall won’t be available for sale on Origin, so in your mind it’s “Microsoft exclusive” because PC’s are running windows? Even though windows OS will get no cut of the money spent on Origin?
Not a big deal, just your article is misleading. Thought you might want to know.
Yeah I should re-name the article, but I put Xbox One because they’re on or timed on that Next-Gen console first.
Titanfall is released on three platforms on the same day, March,11 2014. Don’t think your article needs to be renamed, just maybe a asterisk on the Titanfall part. Hope this helped.
Personally, I doubt Halo 5, the next full title, will come next year. It’s just too soon and Xbox One is new hardware, so unless the tech is that simple for them to grasp, expect a Halo 2 Anniversary or spin off to fill the inevitable gap 343 I will leave for us to wait for Halo 5, or whatever title they decide on.
