PS4: The Games

PS4 is for games, it’s a bit disappointing that lack of games at launch. 20 games available but the vast and overwhelming majority of these are available for older consoles  (like PS3 and XBox 360) and platforms – they’re not next-gen games. Examples include FIFA 14 and Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag.

Handful of exclusive games: Knack, Resogun, Contrast, Warframe, Need for Speed: Rivals & Killzone Shadow Fall. Properly next-generation games will take developers a while to launch so we won’t see any until next year. We are eagerly awaiting next-gen games like Infamous Second Son, Drive Club, Thief & more as on sony ps4 website says, The best selection of PlayStation 4 games, with over 180 titles in development.

Check out gameplay of some great games we recorded via PS4 while playing.
