So, rather than bringing up off-topic things in the Destiny thread over and over, I figured we could use a thread to discuss the other late-2014 releases we're interested in.
In case you want to see a list of the options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_One_games
For me, the next game I likely get on the One is The Golf Club, but that depends a lot on its price. If it's the same $35 as its PC counterpart, I'll probably get it. If it releases at $50, I'll pass. It looks like the most realistic golf game ever made, and even though the lack of officially licensed gear (especially clubs) sucks HARD, the gameplay itself still looks amazing.
I'm also considering my first EA retail purchase in nearly 6 years, as I can get Madden 15 for $35 or so with their trade-in opportunity. I haven't purchased a Madden game since probably 2007, and I haven't played one since Madden 12, so when adding the fact that I haven't had a new baseball or basketball game in a couple of years either, I'm overdue for a licensed sports game. In that same vein, I will probably be getting NBA 2K15 as well, though my interest in my game library at the time will determine if it is a launch purchase or a Christmas gift.
I'll probably look at a racing title to fill the arcade half of my interests in that genre, since Forza 5 is back in my library for the sim side. I just haven't yet decided between Forza Horizon 2 and The Crew. The former is likely to have the more-technical stuff done well (driving physics and the feel of the car), but The Crew sounds like a better multiplayer option, and the nationwide map is a cool concept.
I was really excited about Sunset Overdrive as well, but that's faded a good deal since E3. I'm likely to leave that to being a Christmas gift, rather than buying it around the same time as I get 2-3 other games. Oh, and there's Halo, which is obviously a launch-day purchase. It'll be the 2014 shooter, with an outside chance I make Advanced Warfare a Christmas gift as well (since I hated Sledgehammer's work in MW3 and Ghosts was terrible).
If the prices are right, I might also look into picking up Tomb Raider and Ryse used, but they'd have to be sub-$20. Oh, and I'll be keeping an eye out for Pure Pool in the next couple of months, and I'll watch for what gets added to EA Access.
