Look for recommendations that my family can play on the PS4. We just discovered Rocket League and we're having fun with it, so wondering what else is out there that we can play on one screen.

Don't need any regular sports (Madden, NBA, FIFA, etc) games as I'm aware of what's out there and we have a few already.

 

[Warxard]

Helldivers.

[bananafactory]

I assume you're looking for family friendly stuff

LEGO games (Marvel and Jurassic World are great)

 

[UltimaWeapon]

Towerfall Ascension with the expansion is your answer.

 

[nortonff]

Diablo III
Trine I and II
Borderlands 2

 

[Platy]

Towerfall has an awesome 2 player coop and the expansion has an even better 4 player coop campain

 

[JensenBeeswax]

Me and a buddy enjoyed Guacamelee a bunch. Some good fun to be had with that game.

 

[psn]

Dead Nation.

 

[delSai]

Sportsfriends!

 

[Lime]

The Lara Croft game
Pixeljunk Shooter
Towerfall Ascension
Divinity OS: Directors Cut whenever it releases

 

[Kill3r7]

Diablo 3.

 

[mere_immortal]

Diablo 3 is fantastic.

 

[hersheyfan]

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Yes, Iron Galaxy, but after downloading the huge patch it's very stable.

Also, need a big TV so y'all aint squinting.

 

[CypherSignal]

You can go to http://www.co-optimus.com/games.php and filter down to PS4 + couch co-op. Some other standouts besides those listed are the Call of Duty games, Borderlands, PvZ Garden Warfare, Magicka 2, N++, Lara Croft and Temple of Osiris, Skylanders games, and Disney Infinity.

 

[Nesther]

LBP3 was good fun in co-op.

 

[brickarts295]

Doesn't have to be that family friendly, kids have seen and heard it all already. Hell, they watch me play Bloodborne.

Great recommendations. Keep 'em coming!

 

[hydruxo]

Nidhogg, Helldivers, Diablo III

 

[quickwhips]

Sony mostly doesn't have good coop online but a lot of third parties do. I wish they would focus on that.

 

[Mad Season]

Diablo 3

 

[stryke]

Definitely get Helldivers

 

[skynidas]

Chariot
Helldivers
Sportsfriends (competitive but really fun)

 

[bede-x]

Earth Defense Force 4.1 is as good as it gets, even if it isn't a family game as such. Absolutely huge package with tons of stages and weapons, both splitscreen (two player only) and online coop. Only out in Japan now, but coming soon to the states and Europe.

 

[Schlomo]

Towerfall Ascension with the expansion is your answer.

Towerfall has an awesome 2 player coop and the expansion has an even better 4 player coop campain

This! Highly recommended.

 

[Az987]

Spelunky!

 

[BigDug13]

Borderlands 2 only had 2 player splitscreen on last gen but the Handsome Jack Collection on current gen has up to 4 player splitscreen.

 

[bombshell]

Diablo 3
Borderlands Collection
Helldivers

Sony mostly doesn't have good coop online but a lot of third parties do. I wish they would focus on that.

They have Helldivers and upcoming Alienation.

 

[Platy]

Also, Towerfall is on sale right now !

 

[DannyDanger]

One Piece: PW3

 

[phant0m]

Already been said many times, Diablo 3.

Borderlands Handsome Collection is great split-screen fun too.

Not "co-op" but Jackbox Party Pack has games that are great to play with 3+ people.

 

[ScatheZombie]

PvZ Garden Warfare

A word of warning that only Garden Ops mode is available for local co-op. My wife and I were really disappointed that was the only thing we could actually play together on the same screen. Especially since we both think it's one of the weaker/less fun things to play in the game.

 

[Greddleok]

-Binding of Isaac

BoI has awful coop. The player 2 becomes completely useless very, very quickly.

Rayman Legends and Helldivers are great. Sucks that you have to have another PSN account for Helldivers coop though.

 

[Jag]

I'll probably pick up Towerfull, but they are obnoxious about 'old graphics' so 8-bit stuff won't cut it.

Helldivers looks very cool though.

I have D3 on PC, do you only need 1 PS4 copy for co-op?

 

[foxdvd]

Diablo 3..up to 4 player local coop, and easy on the eyes since you all share a screen....and not split screen. It really is one of the best local coop games out on console....

Yes, and everyone has their own save file unique to their PSN account.

 

[Z3M0G]

Gauntlet has been pretty amazing!

Game is seriously a blast!

- Long campaign
- endless mode
- daily challenges which reward unlockable cloaks
- offline/online drop in/out multiplayer for all of it

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

A list of the local co-op games I own on PS4:

• Helldivers (4 players)
• Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds Overdrive (4 players)
• Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris (4 players)
• Metal Slug 3 (2 players)
• Trine 2 (3 players)
• Jamestown+ (4 players)
• Borderlands Handsome Collection (4 players)
• Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition (4 players)
• Dead Nation (2 players)
• Resogun (2 players)

 

[JonnyKtyler]

Nom Nom Galaxy is by far my favorite coop game on ps4.


Diablo 3 Ulimate Evil is very fun also

 

[The Last Wizard]

Divinity original sin is gonna have 2 player coop iirc. That'll be out in October.

 

[Hedrush]

Resogun

 

[WITHE1982]

CTRL+F "Knack"... 0 results.

You're slipping GAF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMH9arqT35s

Also If it's family friendly stuff me and the daughter love playing both Octodad and Goat Simulator 2 player.

 

[Machinehead]

The most family fun I had so far was with Sportsfriends and Towerfall. Both are awesome and matches are pretty short, making it very easy to drop in or out and keeping things dynamic.

Trine 2 and Diablo are pretty great also if you want something that demands a bit more.

 

[Juxo]

My GF and I have great fun with Borderlands Handsome Collection, as well as Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare. Binding of Isaac also has 2 player, but it's not something you should buy just for that. The single player is fantastic fun, though.

Couch co-op is really something that more games (if it fits, obviously) should implement.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

LBP3 was good fun in co-op.

When it worked. One of the buggiest games I've played in a while.

 

[Dorygrant]

Spelunky!

If you haven't played it... by god

 

[Darren_z33]

Dying light. I think there's even a co op demo out now.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Helldivers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oOMv1kaL7Y - Local Co-Op in action.

The finest answer. Helldivers is and remains amazing.

 

[Jag]

Sucks that you have to have another PSN account for Helldivers coop though.

Not sure what this means. We can't play together on one account?

 

[DekuLink]

Co-op in octodad is hilarious

 

[blahness]

Dying light. I think there's even a co op demo out now.

Dying Light is not split screen co-op, only online.
