OPM: Not all at once obviously, that would be tricky. However, this is our must play list for PS4: the games that we think are going to set the standard for the next generation of PlayStation. It’s a mix of familier faces and a few surprises that will define Sony’s new console
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
BY JASON MONROE: The very best pirate-themed video games that you should play instead of the disappointment that is Skull and Bones.
PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???
And they never fixed it.
Ubisoft has just released Skull and Bones on PC and consoles. And, from the looks of it, the game wasn’t received well by some gamers. Not only that but it appears that Skull and Bones can be worse than Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, a game that came out a decade ago.
I wanted a Black Flag sequel so bad. It's still my favorite AC entry. The fact that they ignored everything that we loved about that game in this "spiritual successor" is making me enjoy watching this game crash and burn quite a bit. Either do it right or don't do it at all. (I understand the legal binding they got themselves into with the Singapore government to release this game at all costs)

11 years of development. Multiple restarts. All the while people have been saying they don't want some pirate game where you can't even get off your ship. 11 years of people telling Ubisoft all they want is a pirate game that's basically Black Flag without any of the assassin or animus stuff. Yet they still served up this trash that no one wanted, charged $70 for it, and had the balls to call it AAAA.
The Guillemot family honestly needs to be forced out of Ubisoft. They've doubled down on everything players don't like about their games, they want AI to create "rough drafts" of their stories rather than letting their writers do their jobs, and they literally do not give a shit what their playerbase actually wants. 5-6 years ago their stock was worth more than 4x what it's currently worth. The company is dying.
What has happened to developers? How can you possible make a worse looking game 11 years later? It’s honestly mind boggling.
Enough has been said about this game already. The gaming world shrugged when it was announced so many years ago, and instead of listening to all the criticisms from the community back then, Ubi just sailed on and kept making a game nobody really wanted. What a waste of money and effort.
My top 5 most anticipated must play PS4 games:-
1) KZ Shadow fall - The graphical fidelity, and the totally customisable multiplayer.
2) The Division - Pure next gen open world multiplayer gameplay
3) Infamous Second Son - It's infamous with perma-destruction
4) Battlefied 4 - Levolution, 64 players, 60fps
5) Destiny - It's Bungie, it's MMOFPS (I'm still dubious about the price structure though)
EDIT: Honorary mentions
6) Titanfall - (yes I know... I know...)
7)FFXV - I've been waiting years... and it looks goooood
8)MGS V: Phantom pain (or is that Ground Zeroes) - It's Metal Gear, it's Kojima. 'nuff said.
9)Watchdogs - The New Assassins Creed
10) Diablo 3 - Yes I'm waiting for the PS4 superbundle edition.
their number one game is a third-party game that's also available on current gen platforms. Someone please explain to me how assassin creed defines next gen, i'm not kidding.
nice Ps4 all day everyday and to the people who believe that crap about cant uploading to youtube because ofsome blue ray copyrights that's jus bull ps3 have the same blueray codec and i was uploading games staright to you tube on my ps3 that's fanboys catching after straws pixel junk eden let you upload any amount of videos you want all you of to do is log in you're youtube account on you ps3
Graphical fidelity? Levolution? Are you sure that's your own opinion/choice of words or are you just biting off of what developers have been saying in every freaking article? Also why the hell is boring ass generic Assasins creed on this list? The only thing that game defines is repetitiveness.
It's a pretty reasonable list. Assassin's Creed IV is actually my only PS4 launch game (aside from PS+ and F2P freebies), so I'm quite happy to see it at the top of the list.
The Witness is actually my most anticipated PS4 game, but it's not a launch day game unfortunately.
