Infamous First Light and Metro Redux for me.

Magicite3561d ago

Until Destiny arrives, this will be sufficient to build up the momentum.
And then in the fall, lots of big hitters will start coming.
I think PS4 should easily close this year with 15m units(total)sold or more.

guitarded773560d ago

Destiny is gonna be so sick. Played the Alpha, now the Beta. It has the potential to be one of the best shooters ever.

August looks good for me. More inFAMOUS, Plants Vs Zombies (been waiting), Diablo III (been waiting) and Hohokum may be interesting.

wonderfulmonkeyman3555d ago (Edited 3555d ago )

I do want Destiny, but I'm waiting for a pc version, or for Sony to announce that they're not charging for online multiplayer anymore.
If Sony does that,I might get a ps4 earlier than I'm currently planning to.

telekineticmantis3561d ago

Uuuuuummmm Jet Car Stunts! Why didnt anyone tell me about this game?! This has the ultimate track design ive always wanted out of Mod Nation Racers, but not as much quality , its just a pity its not a racer, my friends and i would have a ball with this. Either way, im still investing my money in this, and recommending it to my friends, Mario Kart is fun, but a bit tired at this point. ican bet anything it(JCST) will be fun!

MysticStrummer3560d ago (Edited 3560d ago )

This one YouTuber keeps implying that he has inside info about the Planetside 2 beta starting in August. If I see any confirmation of that I'll be buying a PS4 for that beta. Otherwise I'll wait for Destiny. I'll probably pick up Metro Redux later though. I'm torn on Diablo 3 since I've played it so much on PS3. It is a great game though.

G20WLY3560d ago

Think of it this way; Diablo 3 is PERFECT Vita remote-play-before bed gaming!

MysticStrummer3560d ago

True, but I'd be more likely to get a PSTV and play on a TV in the bedroom.

3-4-53560d ago

Solid list of games really.

showtimefolks3560d ago

My games that i will be buying for rest of 2014:

TLOU
infamous first light
metro redux
destiny
drive club
dragon age
GTA5
Middle earth
farcry 4

and people are saying ps4/xbox one has no games, these have been the best consoles software wise within first year of new consoles

That's one hell of a line up. I can see the PS4 selling VERY well in August.

MightyNoX3561d ago

No kidding - PvZ, Diablo 3 and the juggernaut Minecraft?

Hohokum (aka Larry Hrybs nemesis) deserves a mention as well.

GribbleGrunger3561d ago (Edited 3561d ago )

Swapper (no boost)
Road Not Taken (no boost)
HoHokum (tiny boost)
Diablo (decent boost)
Plant V Zombies (decent boost)
Infamous: Second Light (decent boost)
Madden (decent boost)
Metro Redux (decent boost)
Minecraft (big boost)
Jet Car Stunts (no boost)

Perhaps around 350k NPD.

uth113561d ago

Minecraft is already on just about every other platform by now, do you really think it will give the PS4 a big boost?

MightyNoX3561d ago

@uth: Couldn't the same be said about Watchdogs? It was released on every system and how'd that work out? (Hint: watchdogs gave ps4 a big boost and the number of copies outsold the 360 which outsold the Bone.)

@Gribs: A bit too high a number. I'd reckon somewhere around 280k~300k.

400k should be left for when the white PS4 Destiny drops. That SKU will wipe the floor with the competition.

GribbleGrunger3561d ago (Edited 3561d ago )

@uth11: It depends on how it's advertised.

@MightyNox: I think August is a 5 week month (in terms of NPD).

If not then I'll go for around 300k. TLOUR should take some momentum into August too.

uth113561d ago

Watchdogs was released on every platform the same day.

Minecraft has been out on almost everything else but PS4. I mean I'm sure the game will sell well on PS4, I'm just not sure it will move a lot of systems on its own. And it's not particularly graphically impressive, so I don't think people will upgrade for better graphics.

a08andan3561d ago

I am tempted by PvZ and Metro Redux, but I'm buying TLOU so I'm gonna wait for reviews for those! I will probably end up buying Minecraft and then play it like once lulz :)

CaptainObvious8783561d ago (Edited 3561d ago )

It will be nice when this nonsense about the PS4 having no games deceases.

Can't wait for diablo.

Muzikguy3561d ago

I doubt it will ever go away. People have to complain about something

calis3561d ago

it will go. The PS3 went through the same phase early on as well.

zsquaresoff3561d ago

It's not the people who complain, it's the X~Bots who complain.

Gotta justify that xbone purchase somehow. Especially the 500$ one.

marlinfan103561d ago (Edited 3561d ago )

by the end of this year/early next year i don't think anyones gonna be talking about lack of games for either console. theres gonna be too much out to even worry about it lol

@zsquare

your comments are just as bad, if not worse than most "xbot" comments so i don't think youve got much room to talk.

Spotie3560d ago

It never will. It has more games than the XB1 even now, but fans of that console just can't seem to help themselves.

My system will start with a backlog when I pick up the Destiny bundle.

CaptainObvious8783560d ago (Edited 3560d ago )

I find it very amusing when people claim this site is run by sony fanboys.

When I look at the facts...

And I look at my ration of disagrees to agrees for my previous I can only conclude there's plenty of both fans.

.... from the 2000s (mostly).

shinoff218337d ago

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.

Cacabunga37d ago

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

Inverno37d ago

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.

Name Last Name37d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno37d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno37d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure37d ago

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.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX56d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
