Thursday Throwdown: What One PS4 Game Is Your Launch Must-Have?

"It’s time for another Thursday Throwdown, where Joe, David, and Travis take a topic and offer their individual take. Sometimes they’ll agree, and many times they won’t — they’re unique little butterflies like that.

This week’s topic is simple: If you could buy just one PlayStation 4 launch title, which would you choose?"

[ABeastNamedTariq]

Killzone for me, hands down.

[NewMonday]

1- BF4
2- KZ SF
3- Knack

Later looking forward to Infamous SS

[PoSTedUP]

later looking forward to H-hour: worlds elite! this, could be the best gen, ever. :' )

[badz149]

if a gun to the head, just 1, my pick would be KZSF.

if not, then add Knack too!

[e3kehoe]

Ive got the same lineup.

[Boody-Bandit]

KZ is my number one but I'm picking up several games at launch. I always go a little over the top when a new console is released. I will probably take home 7 or 8 games day one.

[UltimateMaster]

All

[Eonjay]

Watch Dogs

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

@Brutallyhonest

same here....I go totally ape shit when new consoles drop. I plan to take home at least 7 or 8 games from bestbuy(watch dogs,nba 2k14,madden 25,battlefield 4,assassin's creed,killzone,need for speed and driveclub) then download several f2p games like blacklight and warframe. But before all of that,I want to swap out the hard drive for a 1tb,any info would be appreciated!

[CGI-Quality]

Nothing else to say. Same here.

[rambi80]

Pokemon!!!...Just kidding, i want infamous SS when it comes out

[majiebeast]

Killzone SF/Resogun and maybe Knack if they release a demo.

[arbitor365]

killzone for life. but also some driveclub, resogun, and planetside 2

[patsrule316]

I am only buying one launch game, and it is Watch Dogs. I'll pick up Assassin's Creed IV later, and maybe Killzone when it gets under $20. But at launch, its just Watch Dogs plus free games, for a few months.

[first1NFANTRY]

Killzone/Planetside 2 enough said.

[Omar91]

I wanted to buy both killzone and BF4 however after seeing how I never liked BF3 and thought the graphics and network problems were an issue, I will probably skip BF4 altogether but who knows.

So It might just be killzone for me

[MysticStrummer]

Probably Killzone, but possibly Battlefield 4. A few months ago I would have said Watch Dogs, but the more I see of that game the less interested I am, especially after playing GTA5 so much recently.

Along with one of those I'll have Drive Club PS+ and DC Universe Online, with Warframe getting a look at some point. Is War Thunder a launch title? If so, I'll be all over that too. Oh yeah... Blacklight: Retribution will also get a look. lol

Hopefully some version of Planetside 2 will be playable soon after launch. Even if it's a beta, I'll be in for that.

[Brucis]

Honestly? None of them. They look fun but they aren't 'Oh god I have to have this now'. The games I'm most excited for release after PS4's launch, like Destiny and The Division.

[PoSTedUP]

killzone.

oops, i posted that here? My bad. : p

[jagstatboy]

Agree, I'm waiting for Infamous SS before I get a PS4.

[Acquiescence]

Not even kidding - it looks rad. Gives me a rad-on.

[GABRIEL1030]

Killzone.

[jdktech2010]

Definitely Battlefield 4. I want that 64 player goodness on my TV.

After that Killzone and either Watch Dogs or AC4 (seriously I can't decide which one to choose)

[weirdo]

killzone

[Goku781]

I guess I should be careful what I wish for because there are now way too many games coming out of interest. But def killzone and resogun.

[smashman98]

Octodad

[GentlemenRUs]

All of them! :D!

[JW1080]

That's the spirit!

[MizTv]

KILLZONE!!!!!

[GTgamer]

Ill take all including the free ps+ games too.

[Grave]

Resistance: Fall of Man!

[ilovefatgirls]

nothing theyre all meh not a bit of depth to any of them nothing but glorified arcade games

-playing a game for graphics is like watching porn for the story-

[JuniorCE]

Killzone Shadow Fall... Fun FPS with gorgeous graphics :-D

[theXtReMe1]

If I had to choose one, it would be Watchdogs. The open world, open gameplay and true to life world simulation will keep me busy for months.

Killzone would be next on the list, followed by NFS and Battlefield 4

[MacTastic]

I think I am going to have to go with
Watchdogs
KZ Shadowfall
Knack
also Lego Marvel
But I also want the playstation Eye.
Damn its going to be fun.

[imt558]

Killzone and Driveclub, Knack for me. Maybe Battlefield 4.

[DJrantz]

none of them, if I had to choose, infamous

[spoonard]

Knack and a week or two later Watch Dogs I think!

[majedx9]

for me
-Killzone Shadow Fall
-Watchdogs
-Battlefield 4
-COD g
-need for speed R
-Knack
-Driveclub

[NeMo_HeauxZ]

Being that I'm switching from Xbox after 12 years I would have to say Killzone. It looks pretty fun and it'll be a new experience. I have finally turned to the dark side! :)

[ZBlacktt]

Congrats, you will be a happy person.

[patsrule316]

I am in the same boat. Had an original Xbox on release day and have 2 Xbox 360s (the second 360 came free with my television). Didn't have a PS2 or PS3, but I do have a vita. But I am getting a PS4. Of the PS series, I am much more interested in finally getting God of War (played Chains of Olympus on my vita and loved it), Uncharted (played the vita Uncharted game and it was ok, but not the full experience I am imagining), Journey, and Infamous. I tried the beta for Killzone Mercenary on my vita and it was ok, but I don't like competitive multiplayer, so I couldn't get into the beta too much.

[bamillington]

Bf4 & all the f2p will suffice

[Toman85]

If I must choose just one title of the ten games I gonna get on launch day. My winner is Killzone Shadow Fall!

[ZBlacktt]

AC4 Black Flag, already pre ordered along with a PS4.

[bestofthebest]

killzone
driveclub

[pyramidshead]

Will most likely be getting all of the launch games steadily. But I've always enjoyed Killzone games and the lore. Will be interesting to see where the story goes and how the gameplay differs from the other games other than whats been seen already! Plus Helghan sniper!

[LoveSpuds]

Some tough decisions for me to make but for me it has to be Killzone, Watchdogs and FIFA14.

I love open world games and have been lusting after Watchgods for so long.....have to say though, Assassins Creed looks amazing too so I cannot see it being to long before that gets a preorder too :)

[MudPuppy1]

Games pre-ordered so far:
To Play Day 1:
-Killzone (choice if only allowed 1)
-Driveclub

"Do not open 'til Xmas":
-Knack
-FIFA 14
