PlayStation 4 Games - PS4 Games

PS4 Games are coming... Are you ready?

The PlayStation 4 has most of us in the industry giddy with excitement, even as we breathlessly await its official unveiling and some concrete details. If you're like us and simply can't get enough news and speculation about the future of gaming, this is where you want to be. Check out our thoughts and ideas about the PlayStation 4, and share your own thoughts in the comments section of each article, as well as in our forums.

The Next Generation of PS4 Games
It is all to easy to forget the realm of reality when contemplating the seemingly endless possibilities of next generation console games for the Playstation 4. With that in mind, we thought we would share some of our ideas with you while trying to remain realistic, although, we're as excited about the PS4 as you are so don't hold it against us if we get a bit carried away.

Elder Scrolls VI: Tamriel

The total freedom offered in the highly popular Elder Scrolls titles is something we could only dream of back in the days of the Atari, current generation technology such as the Playstation 3 blew us away with Oblivion and Skyrim is setting up to be another big hitter, but what about the Elder Scrolls on the PS4?

Instead of being limited to very few continents of Tamriel, as players have been for all previous Elder Scrolls games, would the Playstation 4 be strong enough to let us roam around the whole world of Tamriel? Imagine being able to travel to the homelands of every race you've met in the games, or better still, the choice of playing any one from the 30+ races that reside in the world of Tamriel.

Most fans of the series seem to prefer the Magic system used in Morrowind to that used in Oblivion, mainly because the original system allowed for a lot more customization, and even abuse, although it could be extremely fun at times. Players were able to create special constant effect enchantments on items that would allow them to roam Vvardenfell with several high level monsters as companions, the Golden Saints seeming to be the most popular. Sadly this caused a lot of errors in the game and even resulted in save files being unplayable. There's also the lack of anything "huge" in terms of combat scenarios and enemy encounters, imagine storming a castle where you're getting attacked by hundreds, or even thousands of enemies instead of 4-5. Could the power of the Playstation 4 lift the shackles that have restrained the franchise for so long?

Left 4 Dead: Apocalypse
The original L4D took the gaming world by storm, releasing one of the most unique co-op shooters to brace the current generation. Any fans of the series will know that the real action was in the versus mode and that's what we think they need to focus on if they release another title.

We're thinking a much larger game world, much like an instanced city/zone. All zones are populated with common infected, obstacles and puzzles. With players able to load in and out of a zone at any time. As players continue to play in zones they can fight off more infected, securing more of the city that will allow them to use special facilities like hospitals and armories. This would add an almost RTS like element giving players tactical decisions in what routes they take first.

The Special Infected would all need an overhaul to work well with the larger zones, increasing ability range and speed etc. The zombie genre is a unique one, you can put practically any idea forward and it fits, there's just something about guns and zombies that us gaming folk really love. So what's your take on the next left 4 Dead?

Grand Theft Auto
Arguably one of the most controversial game franchises of all time, Grand Theft Auto has been hailed as one of the top gaming titles of recent years, but it hasn't all be rosy, as it has also been the scape goat for a number of parents after their kids got caught doing things they shouldn't. With all the negative press aside, what can we expect from the next generation of GTA games?

San Andreas was easily the best in the series, following the life of a street thug, working your way up through the underworld to eventually own half the city. Players loved being able to purchase so many businesses, sweet talk some hot ass to be able to use her car and spend hours upon hours in the gym until they resembled Arny on steroids. Sadly, Grand Theft Auto IV went the way of graphics and story over content and although it was still an enjoyable game, it didn't touch the possibilities of San Andreas. So what would happen if we combine the best of both?

The graphics of GTAIV combined with the mechanics and features of San Andreas, it would easily be the best Grand Theft Auto game to date, but why did Rockstar remove so many of the much loved features? Nobody knows for sure but some speculate that after the huge overhaul in graphics, adding even more content to the game was not possible based on current technology. Could the Playstation 4 be the break through they need to release what GTA fans are really looking for?

Pokemon
Although it's not really a console title, it is arguably one of the most popular gaming franchises on the planet, selling a combined total of over 40 million sales across all games. The main success of the titles has clearly been on the less technologically evolved versions on the Gameboy and Nintendo DS, we did see a brief attempt at a proper graphical version with Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon XD but neither really scratched the surface of the game.

It's not hard to imagine how awesome the graphics could be on the Playstation 4, stepping away from the child-like sprites and animations, into full fledged gore and destruction. I want to see the charred bones of my opponent after my Charizard pops a Fire Spin, not a little squeak followed by "Insert Name Has Feinted."

The game has evolved over the years, originally featuring 50 odd Pokemon on the original titles, right up to the 490+ now registered in the Pokedex, we've seen multiple regions and protagonists. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the games but I do get excited at the thought of combining them all into one big console title, it's highly unlikely we'll see it on the Playstation 4 considering Nintendo and Sony aren't exactly best friends, but there's nothing wrong with hoping.

Insert MMORPG Of Choice Here
If you really want to set your sights high for future game technology, the easiest way to get carried away is to involve the world of the Massively Multiplayer Online game. These titles have been common place on PC's for years now and although the consoles put up a bit of a fight, the sheer number of MMO games available on the PC dwarfs anything the Playstation 3 can come up with. It's only been over the last 12-18 months that console style MMO titles have become more common place for PC, but the consoles of this generation are falling behind. Most PC MMO titles feature simple point and click mechanics while you repeatedly smash keys 1 through 5 with the side of your face, however games like APB, Mortal Online and Darkfall have all pushed towards more console orientated mechanics and play styles. These probably aren't the best examples of why the Playstation 4 should support more MMO titles, as all 3 have suffered large drawbacks since launch.

Even the typical style MMORPG's like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars and Runescape would always be more fun with more people, with most home consoles having internet access nowadays, we see no reason why the next generation of gaming consoles wouldn't offer players far more choice in terms of online gaming activities.

Quality & Quantity
Gamers are a passionate bunch and are always willing to fight for their console/game of choice but one thing that usually unites us together, games with a total lack of content but a ton of DLC. It has become common practice for companies to release DLC for a game on the day of release, but maybe new gaming design and art technology can ease the financial pressure companies get today? When you compare early game development for titles on the Atari to those on the Playstation 3, it's like comparing neanderthal tools to a JCB Digger. Games are developed in a totally different way today, what's to say they won't have a new way by next year? The industry is due a technological leap and we've found a video that demonstrates just one of the possible advances for next generation console game development technology. Leave a comment and let us know what you think.

What Would You Do?
Everyone has their favorite gaming title/franchise and most have put enough hours into them to give the developers a thousand new ways to improve their game but do they ever do it? Companies seem to want to avoid developing the perfect title in fear of losing future revenue but given the next generation technology and a squad of hungry developers at your feet, what improvements would you make to some of today's top gaming titles?

Uncharted 4

There was a job opening at naughty dog for a graphic designer that can render an image to the millionth or so megapixel, the regular PS3 games run at about 200-400k mp... therefore the PS4 graphics will be near reality and more than likely compatible with 3d tvs.

monster hunter

monster hunter has got to be one of the least appreciated game of all time, now that might be due to capcom not releasing most monster hunter games to north America, but if you've ever played monster hunter freedom unite you'll know how good the series is.... now right now most of the mh titles are for either a portable device or a horrible nintendo console (not naming any names) now if they were able to move a game like monster hunter to a good console with next generation graphics who knows what kind of possibility it might hold.

bottom line is monster hunter is an amazing series witch would motivate all hardcore fans (and trust me there out there) to buy a ps4, just like monster hunter freedom unite motivated me to buy a psp.thank you for reading this.

Max Payen 3

Will Max payne 3 run on ps4???

Generations' Gap

GTA5
ESVI

Those type of game worlds need one thing.
It's not CPU power - we've already got that.
It's not GPU power - we've already got that.

It's Memory.
Not 1Gb. Not 2Gb; but 4Gb Unified minimum. And from a developers perspective, like Crytek and Epic, 8Gb Unified.
Not Video memory and Main memory separated.
And it's Storage mediums that can read-stream 1Gb/sec at 0.01ms - a 4th Generation SSD.

Otherwise, all you will do is repeat the problems on PC x86 architecture. Repeat the same knowns and the same "unknowns in a different package".

The new generation systems will stay just where everything has gone long before, and remain that way for almost 10 years into the future.
That kind of approach will fail.

Fortunately, Microsoft, Sony and AMD seem to think the above insights are the right way to go.
Not sure about Nintendo - but I think something big is going to be announced with Nintendo's intentions of putting out something that rivals the best Sony and Microsoft can think up.

If any one of these game console makers gets it wrong anywhere near what they did this generation, one of them is going to end up with a 250 Million user base within 4 years of their releases.
And the remainder wondering WTF happened.

EPIC

The ps4 will be epic. i cant wait for this console to come out. hope it comes out really soon!

Epic Squared

I absolutely agree with your Epic assertion.

Fantasy Mixed with Reality

I am beginning to see how surreal video games are becoming. It is awesome. Of course, I know that Playstation 4 is going to be expensive. But, the third one already costs too much today. I do have PS2. I have to wait until I have enough money or if the price for PS3 goes down even more.

Grand Theft Auto

Ps4 needs gta san an dreas okay or it will loose bout 3 or four cumstermers becuase thats my fave gta

I like that GTA as well. They

I like that GTA as well. They do need to make it for the PS4.

Sony Talks About PlayStation 4 Being A Distraction

President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America Jack Tretton commented in a interview with IGN about PlayStation 4 being a distraction for the company.

Tretton said that the release of PS4 will depend on Sony’s current platforms and how they perform.

“In terms of when you talk about [the next generation] and when you announce it, it really depends on the health of the existing platform and the other things you have going on,” Tretton said. “And right now, we’re focused on PlayStation 3, and I’ve got another platform (PS Vita) to get out the door in seven days, so I don’t want to be thinking about trying to launch new technology anytime soon. I want to focus all our energy on our console business, which is really just hitting its stride, and Vita, which really deserves a dedicated push from us.”

Tretton admitted he would be distracted if he had to discuss PlayStation 4 this year.

“I, quite frankly, would be very distracted if I had to be talking about next generation hardware this year.”

Path

There is nothing there that says the PS4 is not going to happen.

And if Sony's course is PS Vita, they've done it perfectly for a piece of technology like that.
PS Vita is an "Apple Standards" if I ever saw one.

A PS4 "Apple Standards" would therefore also have to be along that thought process.

The way Tretton words a statement of "no launch anytime soon; focus and distraction", means that the next playstation actually exists; but there is a "PS Vita Standard" path to and from it that's probably putting Sony on edge about it all.

I'm not saying it's an overly expensive design and pushes too many boundaries, I'm just saying that from looking over pre-Vita release, Sony were extremely nervous about the whole thing - Nintendo, Smartphones; you name it - Sony were being hit from all sides like they had grown very small.
Not to mention when Ridge Racer was a PS Vita release - ouch.
And then you have Kinect 2.0 which may punt Vita out of the ring entirely - for whatever reason we don't fully know about Kinect 2.0.

PS4 is happening; Sony just aren't ready to comment or disclose anything this year.
That's not exactly a bad thing.
We now have a Sony that is actually breathing rythmically; rather than a big-headed dragon that coughs loudly in your face for attention.

:(

It's sad how i just bought a PS3 in January. I won't have enough money to buy PS4 until like 2015. Plus i agree with the people who say the PS3 hasn't reached its peak. 6 years after its release it is STILL creating good exclusives.

PR

Well don't be sad.
The next playstation is a likely 2013 PR.
There is just no way Sony would want to battle with Microsoft and Kinect 2.0 this year in terms of PR.
And Nintendo are more with Microsoft than you believe. Something is going on with those two companies. I don't think this is a selection process, I just don't think Microsoft consider Sony the right company to "level with".

Microsoft are too big; and too confident.
These leaks about Xbox Next/720 are no accident.
Microsoft are confident about 6x this and 6670 that and "better than Wii2, but not by much".

And PS Vita doesn't change too much, other than Sony establishing one important reminder to their customers and competitors - "sky-high hardware quality and power through and through".

I don't see Microsoft stating "we're not shovelling out a piece of cheap junk, with an Apple-like appearance to throw you off the scent..."

Am I right?
You bet I am.

PS3 trust

I have my ps3 for like 3 years.
it didnt broke, only some internet problems.
but sometimes if i /play to long its gonna freeze, thats a way to stop being game addict.
hope ps4 doesnt freeze.

ps4

will the ps4 be able to play ps3 games?

Not Exactly

It's possible if -

a) Sony look to nVidia
b) Sony look to Cell
c) Sony look to Rambus

From that, I would make a guess there is a 20% of that happening.
So it's not exactly unlikely, but it's not exactly something to expect.

Tekken FTW

i hope tekken will better

cant wait

luckly i didnt bought a ps3, well i was thinking in buying one, but with the money i have saved i might be able to buy a ps4 instead!!

Me Too!

Same here!
I went into a game store after Christmas at about the start of January this year thinking that i might get a good deal for a ps3. It was killing me how i couldnt really try any new good games because i only owned a ps2. So anyway, i went in and asked the guy at the counter if i should get a ps3. the dude said no and i was like O_O then he said that i should wait because the ps4 was supposed to be coming out this year.
so here i am, waiting patiently (or as patiently as i can) for the ps4 to come out. i sure as hell hope that the ps4 has backwards compatibility so that i can play some of the good ps3 games that i want and still play some of my old ps2 games :)

Did i mention that my ps2 is broken?

pathetic

this is sad ive read about people sayin that the wow factor is in ps4. its sad to think that sony will be ditchen the ps3 so soon when then only used like 30 or 40% of its potential. you would think that they would take their time to sit there and try and make a game that is so insane that it would break the ps3 then be like... upgrade time! that is when i think they should make a addtional console.

Vita Min>Max

Well they're saying that because of the PS Vita.

Have you got the PS Vita?

Because your immediate thought will be "wow, the PS4 is gonna be insane; Sony's back baby!"

That's what happened to me.
And that OLED display. It makes my Samsung D8000 S-PVA panel look like it needs emergency help.

What it must have

Since Sony wants their market back and get good sales, they'll need to add more ram,PS3 support,Cross-Game Chat and better online

That's all the PS4 needs

random feelings

i like a good amount of genres and seriously, the playstation4 needs a crapload of power to carry the future gen. for 10 years like the playstation 2 did, if it's quickly upgraded again, i think sony will only farm money off their most loyal fans. i have a limited budget so i can't afford to spend like 500 bucks which is probably like what the ps4 is going to cost every lets say 2 years with the handhelds. i guess FFV will be in the PS4 then, i actually prefer just pushing the PS3 to the max first, like in all seriousness, the PS3 still has atleast 5 years of further development and PS4 is just going to destroy it. if you ask me, i would rather it not come out for another 3 years.

PS4 Release date

Ok so the PS4 release date will be
on the 15 of january 2013 at 1-1:30 am
US TIME

Reluctance to Switch

When i got my PS3 i only had 3 games to play (in fairness i played them for weeks on end)
I had my PS2 and i had a massive pile of PS2 games which i loved. There are some great classics hidden amoungst my collection and all of which i was disapointed to find i could NOT play on my PS3 and so had to keep my old PS2 plugged in for whenever i wanted to play an old classic (Kingdom Hearts, Destroy all Humans etc.)

I am hoping that the PS4 will have the neccesary emulator to play PS3 games so i do not have to start my collection over again and be stuck with 1 or 2 games for the first couple months.

PS4

i think the ps4 is going to be completley and totally beyond awsome!!

Co-op

I hope this new fancy big system means they will make more co-op games :(

only thing that really needs upgrade

is that they need to use real models of guns, in the games, scan actual guns into the graphics-- the gun stays on the screen the whole time. to have a gun that is virtualy real/true vision in the game play would outstand since the gun is always on the screen for shoting games.

apps for ps3

i think sony should make live background apps for the ps3 & the ps4 & then put them on the psn.

;)

I agree buddy

they have live backgrounds

they have live backgrounds already

why did take ya ll so long to

why did take ya ll so long to make this ps4

fallout re-vamp

i reckon they need to re-do fallout to include a mechanics skill and broken down vehicles and depending on your mechanics skill you can re-birth better cars,trucks etc: sure get across the mojave quicker lol

atoms

not to mention adding that unlimited atoms software to fallout and mw3 would be sick, oh and maybe some decent looking ho's the old ones look like train accidents lol

UFC Fighters VS Boxers VS Pro-Wrestlers videogame for PS2

It would surely become a hit all over the world if game creators could make a game which you can make UfC fighters fight with Boxers, UfC fighters fight with Pro-wrestlers and Boxers fight with Pro-wrestlers. Could you imagine it like, Manny Pacquiao fights George "Rush" St-Pierre or Big Show takes on Cain Velasquez or even Floyd Mayweather. Come on if you can make a game like this it will surely be awesome. Please create a videogame like this.

that would be such a great

that would be such a great game i agree

xbox dt4l

xboox will always be better because of the more gamers

XBOX

XBOX WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN PS3 OR PS4 3D IS BETTER AND BLUE RAY PLAYER THAT XBOX WILL NEVER HAVE AND NEVER PAY TO PLAY ONLINE XBOX ALWAYS GOT TO PAY TO PLAY ONLINE AND ITS ALWAYS MORE PLAYERS ON PLAYSTATION THAN XBOX AND PLAYSTATION IS THE NUMBER ONE GAME SYSTEM

ya no wat i say... no

xbox suc

never

xbox 360 is only more recognisable because we have too many blacks who play too much call of duty. ps3, and later ps4, will, always be better because we have the best video game characters. Jak, Ratchet, Crash, Spyro, Sly Cooper, Nathan Drake, Nathan Hale, Cole McGrath, and Kratos can kick Master Chief's and Marcus Phoenix's asses.it's not worth buying an xbox because it has very little 1st party IPs and they suck
no offence to anybody, but shooters are not the best video game genre. they all have almost the same gameplay mechanics. when I play many different shooters they all feel the same. gamers should switch back to platformers, Sony platformers.

having more gamers doesn't

having more gamers doesn't make it better. xbox controllers still need AA batteries. plus they're bulky.

xbox dt4l

xboox will always be better because of the more gamers

no the ps3 is better then the

no the ps3 is better then the x-box 360 more graphics and better quality but yeah x-box 360 are good but not as good as ps3
