GT: Top 5 Anticipated Downloadable PS4 Games

So it is bastion then. It's not like bastion was known for its deep and diverse gameplay or anything.

If you want to be entirely reductive then there is no point in having a conversation about the differences between the two games. It seems you are only interested in the superficial similarities between them, and you have that right.
 
Never been a big fan of lists, but...

1. Octodad
1. Resogun
1. Transistor
0. Galak-Z
0. Cosmic Star Heroine (even if it's a year+ away)
 
So right from day one (in NA) we've got Resogun and Contrast? The rest are all launch window, correct? All those indies look like a blast.
 
Some incredible stuff on the way.

Resogun was the star of Gamescom, but in terms of mechanics Galak-Z, Velocity 2X and Secret Ponchos are my most wanted titles.
 
It's isometric, has a narrator, and was drawn by the same artist. That's the end of the similarities in my point of view.

Maybe semantics but for what it's worth we don't consider the speaking character in Transistor to be a narrator. The speaking character is in the world together with the player character, experiencing the events of the story as they come -- as opposed to telling the story of what's happening (as in Bastion). It's a big modal change from a writing standpoint and hopefully feels different when playing.

But yeah, all seven members of the Bastion team are back on this project, though our goal is for Transistor to have its own distinct identity despite any superficial similarities.

P.S.: Nice to have made GT's list! The Witness is my #1 too.
 
Simply too many to list, but here's my 5

Resogun
Galak-Z
Hohokum
Rime
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

Feel bad for leaving out Outlast, Transistor, Don't Starve, Octodad, etc
 
Velocity 2X.

You people who haven't had a chance to try Velocity on vita are going to love it.

Looking forward to all the others too of course.
 
Pretty good list aside from Resogun. I'm not a fan of how it looks thus far and I wasn't big fan of sshd either.

How...how could you not like SSHD?
 
It just wasn't my cup of tea. I actually forced myself to play it daily when it got the update that added trophies.

Ah, that's a shame. I love it, love Delta even more but SSHD has a special place in my heart. Was my first ever online purchase on PS3. Such an amazing experience.
 
For me Transistor is my most anticipated PS4 game.

Then Doki Doki and Octodad as well.

Will also look into Hohokum and Resogun free via PS+ as well :)
 
no love for shadow of the beast yet?

I'm hoping SCE release a Retail Disc with some of the Sony published titles. A lot of them deserve the bigger audience.
 
No way I could make a list with the amount of antecipated downloadable PS4 games coming. This kind of thing is always so unfair.
 
Where the fuck is Galak-Z on that list. That's my #1, easily.

Didn't like it either. Geometry Wars was much better imo. With that said, I can't wait for Resogun. Day 1 with my PS+ account.
 
Good list. If GT's only allowing PS4-exclusive indie games and not cross-gen stuff, then my bad, but I have to go with...

1. Doki-Doki Universe
2. Hohokum
3. Rime
4. Transistor
5. Contrast

Poor Doki-Doki - it's so overlooked right now. Everything about that game appeals to me, and it's such a breath of fresh air; even among the pantheon of exciting, unique indie titles dripping out of the PS4's every pore right now.
