Too Soon For Next Gen?

Is it me or has the launch for this generation's new consoles been a bit lacking? Granted the hardware has flown off the shelves but the software has just left me feeling a bit...meh. I can only really comment on the Playstation side of things, but from what I've read on the interwebs it's not much better on the other side.

Of the PS4 launch line up, all games, bar Killzone and Knack were also released on the PS3. So the only games to really buy the machine for is Killzone and Knack. Killzone scored a so-so 78 on Metacritic but seeing as it is an FPS, it was never gonna out do COD or Battlefield. Knack on the other hand scored an abysmal 58. I think it has done so badly, it might go down as the worst launch title of any generation! So from the off, nothing stands out except for the games that could be bought on the PS3 at a slightly lower price.

Where are all the innovative games that will make this new generation stand out? Even today there is no game that is a next gen exclusive that has been an exceptional game. Watchdogs was hyped to be that game, but from reviews I've read, its been described as GTA5/Assassins Creed/Arkham City but not as good as any of them, but still a good game.

Maybe the industry pushed itself too fast. If Sony and MS had both just waited until this year's E3 to announce the new machines then maybe the launch titles could've been a bit more impressive. Instead we are now desperately waiting for E3 to hear news of the next gen games to go with the next gen systems we have collecting dust.

Am I wrong? Have I missed any games that are truly next gen? Let me know in the comments below.

Have a good day!

It's rumoured that Charlie Cox (Stardust, Broadwalk Empire) has been cast as Daredevil in the upcoming Netflix Original, as reported on Latino Review and other sites. (Cheers for the heads up Pete!)
