Sony promised more than a 100 games for the PlayStation 4 in its first year on the market, and gosh darn-it they are delivering on those 100 games one way or another.
The PlayStation Access channel released a brand new video preview for those 100 titles in a quick three-minute trailer, many of the games are coming from the more than 1,000 devs signed on to produce games for Sony's newest console. There are games on the list that I didn't even know were coming to the PlayStation 4, including recently released games on Steam's Early Access such as Race The Sun (a game that I've been following since its days on Steam's Greenlight), as well as Savant Ascent (the dubstep Castlevania-style platformer) and Road Not Taken, the JRPG-style game with an interesting art-style.
PS4 Vita News managed to compile the entire list of the 100 games for the PlayStation 4, so you can see exactly what's coming to the system this year.
I like that Sony has a wide diversity of titles they want on the PlayStation 4, almost in a way to imitate the success of the PSX and PlayStation 2, where instead of always going for big blockbusters like Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy, they diversified the library and pushed to increase the breadth of the PlayStation's market reach by diving headfirst into off-beat franchises and genres. Games like Katamari Damacy, Bust-A-Groove and Dance Dance Revolution helped give the PlayStation a name associated with more than just the typical action and racing fanfare.
You can definitely see that Yoshida and Boyes seem to be gunning for easy-genre-access for any and every type of gamer out there who doesn't easily fit into the category of playing shoot 'em up games or racing titles. I also like that they seem to be bringing in a lot of the same hot-topic titles that are currently making positive waves in the PC indie scene.
If I didn't own most of all the noteworthy indie titles already on my Steam account, a PS4 wouldn't be a bad way to go about having easy access to these titles in a living room entertainment space. I love it.
It also looks as if Starbound is set to launch sometime this winter for the PS4 and PS Vita. I imagine by then the game will have its endgame features implemented and the new character progress overhaul completed.
Anyway, you came for a list of games and a list of games you shall receive. The video above gives you an idea of when the window of release will be for many of the titles below. Thanks again to PS4 Vita News for compiling the list.
