Yeah, Microsoft seems pretty lost in the weeds at this point. There are lots of furious tweets going off around game journalists, that Microsoft withheld payments and made the project impossible to finish and other stuff but who knows whats true. But I mean if you look at the E3 2014 lineup between microsoft and sony, and what got delivered, its pretty sad
Microsoft: Fable Legends (cancelled), Spark (shutdown), Inside (released), Below (unknown), Phantom Dust (cancelled), Crackdown 3 (unreleased), Halo 5 (out), Scalebound (cancelled)
Sony: Deep Down (unknown), Let It Die (out now), The Order (out 2015), Witness (out 2016), Bloodborne (2015), No Man's Sky (2016), Ratchet & Clank (2016), Uncharted 4 (2016), The Last Guardian (2016)
Plus all Microsoft has now at this point is Crackdown 3, Halo Wars 2, State of Decay 2, and Sea of Thieves. The list of Sony PS4 exclusive games is insanely huge still between Kingdom Hearts 1-3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Yakuza, Crash Bandicoot, The Last of us 2, Gran Turismo 7, God of War, Days Gone, Detroit Become Human, Nioh, Spider Man, Gravity Rush 2, etc, etc.
Anyways playing Dishonored 2 at the moment and its fantastic, big bummer it didn't make a bigger splash at launch. Loving the stealth aspect of it, and the levels are all insanely huge.
