Console launches are often associated with die-hard gamers, and for good reason. Early adopters tend to be the hardest of the hardcore, plunking down hundreds of dollars on hardware that has yet to prove its value. Of course, many of these same people who have the means to spend that kind of cash on launch systems defy the lonely gamer stereotype. With that in mind, here are some family-friendly games that will be available when the PlayStation 4 launches on Friday.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes made it's debut 10 years ago today, and remains a popular entry in the series of LEGO videogames.
The game so good I had to buy it twice on the PS4!
actually, it was because my toddler broke my first copy in half LOL
My kids thought I was dumb for selling the Xbox 360 and buying a PS4 until Legal Marvel Superheroes dropped on PS+ a couple of months later. The game is like GTA for kids with couch co-op and a lot of humor.
The game is still one of the best LEGO games ever IMO. The sequel was a letdown for me
Sony might be gearing to launch a new Knack game, a franchise that has had received quite a polarizing reception from the community.
While I did actually enjoy the Knack games, and found the reviews overly harsh, I do feel 2 games were enough unless the series was revitalized in a major way. For me, that would be a new Knack game for PSVR2. With the increased hardware power, those HD particle effects would be pretty awesome, surrounding the player at times. Astrobot proved that platformers can be amazing in VR, so let's hope that's where they're going with this, if real!
Agreed there. I went into Knack with the realization that it was a simple platform/brawler (i.e. something akin to a Crash Bandicoot style of simplicity). My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the co-op for what it was. Fun to play in short bursts to take a break from the more serious fare out there. I haven’t played Knack 2, but my understanding was that many of the original’s shortfalls were addressed there.
Translation: the next best game of all time is coming soon! Show me the money, Knack!
Lol! I have both knack 1-2. Second one is fun local co-op action, but to be honest, I don't care for a third installment. I'd rather have a new resistance game!
I'd rather have an enema than a new knack game.
A new killzone, resistance, motorstorm, driveclub or even a days gone sequel would be more welcomed than flogging any more life from the knack series.
I completely read this comment wrong, but I'll refrain from explaining. XD
Edit - ah screw it... My heart can't wait for Knack to come into that hole for a third time!
Surprised to see them continue this but considering how invested they are in the IP and the wider appeal, there must be some commercial sense to continue with a 3rd title
My young kids love playing it. I don't know why all these older people are complaining about it.
This… my kids love knack probably more then other mascots. And that’s probably because that’s their generations mascot. It’s undeniable ps4 spoke to a lot of children the last decade more then other competitors that have only been in kids sight for the last 4-5 years.
My kids will flip if this news is real
Though I am more interested in the PS4 because I am a "hardcore gamer", Sony is going to have a tough time trying to gain a lead on the family market. I'd say last gen they were third behind the 360 and the Wii in the family games department. But we'll see where the launch title of Knack will take them.
It's looking like Knack is an actual must have based on that new gameplay.IMO.
