So, I just got a ps4. What do I need?

What games show off this bad boy? I got asscreed 4, killzone shadowfall and wolfenstein for $76 today at the target sale, and bought knack, injustice, and lego marvel. I got the ps4 camera and an extra controller. What games best show what the console is capable of? What are the best split screen games? Any awesome psn games I should look out for?(I already own all the ones that were through ps plus).
 
Game to show off the console? INFAMOUS SECOND SON, Son!

But those games you mentioned are a great start, I enjoyed all of them.

EDIT: more recommendations:

Flower is really a must play. Towerfall is one of the best local coop games on there, and Resogun is amazing too.

Best game I've played on it so far is Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.


Infamous was flashy, but not any better/different than the first game aside from visuals.
 
Lol you bought a PS4 for games?

Infamous Second Son, Knack is okay, Destiny, TLOU:R next week, BF4, indie games galore.
 
To be honest two of the three big exclusives that show off this system's graphical capabilities are pretty bad. This is coming from somebody who was hyped for those two games =/.

OT: Ground Zeroes, Flower and Resogun.

Play Wolfesnstein ASAP.
 
You already own Towerfall Ascension through plus. That's probably the best game. Sportsfriends is absolutely amazing for local multiplayer too.

Haha. I was actually gonna wait, but with the target cartwheel deal, I got it for $309. Couldn't resist. Just in time for TLOU

Destiny beta is all you need right now (it's open to everyone now).

After that's finished, get TLOU:R (if you haven't played it on PS3), Killzone:SF, Infamous:SS (best exclusive so far and by far, the prettiest next gen game).

I guess you could buy BF4 too since it's finally out of the alpha.

Grab PS+ if you dont have it. (Edit you have it).

Rogue Legacy is coming (next week US 29.7, EU 30.7). ~15$.

man, this thread serves as little more than a reminder that i still don't have a reason to buy a ps4 [or an xbone, for that matter], ugh...

that being said, i'm still jealous - would definitely pick up resogun [if i were you] for that sweet voxel goodness.

Best looking? Killzone and Infamous. Unfortunately Killzone isn't much fun.

There's a PSN sale on Injustice and LEGO Marvel this week, so headsup on that.

Infamous.
Resogun is amazing though.
Knack isn't counted because I haven't played it yet.

Oh I see, but that's like your opinion man. Infamous might have been a little light on content but I wouldn't consider it a bad game.

Knack was ok for a launch game.

Killzone was the only exclusive I have disliked so far. Bored me to tears.

If you have two controllers definitely get yourself a charging dock - they are absolutely awesome.

In terms of games it seems you're already loaded for a while. Then Destiny.

What's the deal with people using spoiler tags like this when it's not a spoiler? It seems to be really common on gaf and makes spoiler tagging pretty useless since 99% of the time it's not a spoiler and you feel like you need to check it to read the rest of the post.

You need cake, and cola and extra chairs to show it off to your mates, you also need in to the Destiny beta, but definitely need cake, yummy creamy cake....

Oh and Infamous SS
Wolfenstein
Watch Dogs
Ass Creed Black Flag

And pre orders for
Diablo III
GTA V...

Just don't forget the cake....

PS+
An extra controller
Wolfenstein
Destiny Beta
Infamous
Trials Fusion (just the base game)
Transistor
Black Flag or Watch Dogs if you want a UBI game

edit: in that order

PlayStation+
- It's a must-have

Vita
- You bought the $400 Accessory, now get the main console
- Don't take that badly, the PS4 and Vita are great together :D

What is this target sale you speak of?


Target is doing $15 off certain games when you buy preorder cards. The trick is, asking them to price match with amazon first, then you hand them the preorder cards. Brought asscreed 4 and Wolfenstein both to $20ish

Suspense. Surprises. Stuff you don't expect.

Generally I find it is pretty easy to tell if they're "real" spoilers or stuff like that, just use the context of the post and make note of the thread title.

TARGET PRICE MATCHES WITH AMAZON ?!

if theres a nba 2k14 demo try that out (Don't buy it though, unless you like pulling hair out), game looks amazing despite all its flaws. I wasn't really that suprised by Infamous, thought the art style was rather bland, honestly. Try to get into the destiny beta if you can, game looks beautiful

lol. To each their own, I suppose. Resogun is pretty but that's not a game I'd be interested in in the least. inFamous: Second Son was everything I paid for, though.

....Well...mostly. Its obvious that being a launch window game hurt it.
 
Transistor is Indie GOTY so far
for me anyway
... Ay-May-Zing!

Valiant Hearts, TR, FIFA for a quick burst of online sporty fun & Wolfenstein
from someone who doesn't usually do bangy, bangy, shooty, shooty FPS's

You just said in this same thread that you don't have a PS4.

did i say i don't have friends or family?

sheesh...

speaking of which;

did my cousin the favour of turning off his "game mode" on his fancy-ass-huge-ass-samsung-ass-tv-thing while playing Infamous - couldn't believe he didn't notice how horrible the game looked prior to that.

[stretching out 1080p's worth of pixels over 50+ inches of real estate really doesn't do it favours either, but i digress...]
 
Infamous: SS is great and looks fantastic,especially once you unlock stuff.

Transistor - Amazing game and makes great use of the speaker in the DS4

Towerfall and Sportsfriends are must haves if you can get friends and extra controllers by your ps4.

JS Joust could possibly be my favorite game this year...but you need at least three to get the fun going.
 
wut. Wrong.

-Infamous is a must buy
-Destiny beta
-AC:U
-Far Cry 4
-Middle Earth
-GTA5
-TLOU remaster

SO MUCH TO BUY! My wallet is hurting :-(

If you're buying just PS4 exclusives / console exclusives here is how this list you posted looks:
  • Infamous (isn't a must buy)
  • TLOU remaster (if you want it)
  • Destiny (if you want it on PS4)
That list makes perfect sense.

You need a better headset too. The most tolerable online game is probably Battlefield. It's still pretty buggy though.
