Name a launch title not called Halo Combat Evolved or Super Mario 64 released in the last 17 years that's still very relevant today. Launch titles are the popcorn movies of video games.

COD

PGR

Ridge Racer

Soul caliber

Power stone

Midnight club

SSX

And that's just off the top of my head.

It's really just the ps3 and the wii u that make console launches look bad. Looks like the ps4 is adding to that.

I'll maybe give you Soul Caliber and Power Stone but the rest of those games are either milked franchises or nothing close to system sellers. none of those games get brought up when debating classic gaming titles. mentioning them next to Halo and Mario 64 is insulting.

i think you should face the fact that launch titles are just the shyt we settle for because we don't have shyt else.

What?

COD will always be mentioned as one of the greatest franchises

And PGR is always mentioned as one of the best racers

The rest of the games on list are definitely better than the launch titles for wii u and ps4

I think you should face the fact that since the ps2 playstation launch titles is just the shyt you settle for because you have nothing else.

don't act like people weren't playing Perfect Dark Zero back when the 360 came out. this isn't a Playstation thing its a symptom of early software in general. Call of Duty 2 was alright but Call of Duty didn't become what it became until Modern Warfare. New Super Mario Bros U is better than everything you listed.

i'm still saying the last launch title that was a pure system seller was Halo Combat Evolved.

what's your point?

it's still inexcusable for Sony to release a system and have nothing relevant for it until mid next year at the earliest

the Vita was the opposite, they had a great launch and then there was NOTHING for 6 months, at least

:what:

COD isn't a system seller?

If they announced midnight club as a ps4 launch title, that wouldn't sell systems?

And I didn't even mention games like Rayman, wipeout, oddworld, ect.

Y'all trying so hard to :cape: for ps4 that y'all are disrespecting some classic games/franchises.

Historicaly launch games are not shyt. Ps3/4 launch games are shyt

I'm not saying all launch games are great. I'm saying launch games are not "shyt" and each console other than the wii u and ps3/4 has launched with at least one classic system selling game.

when was the last time you went back and played or even wanted to play Call of Duty 2? some of these games belong to series where the title launched and sold ok and got a sequel or two and 2 or so sequels later became a stronger series and now you're trying to retroactively lump the original title into the brand strength something like Dub Edition or Modern Warfare created just because the far more forgettable launch title is in the same series.

check my gamertag i played Call of Duty 2 and beat it. probably the only game i got 1000 on but i'll never play it again nor would i want to. its not classic.

I wouldn't go back and play halo combat evolved over some of its sequels either. Games always get better with time. But with each console launch we've gotten the start of a movement. A game that will influence games for the entire gen.

I was going to say this damn near verbatim. Kills his whole argument.
