Picky picky

Those of you that follow my Gaming posts know that I’ve become increasingly picky about which PS4 games I choose to purchase. There wasn’t much in 2017 that really had me overly excited. I was impressed with the Playlink games that we’re released though. Of course those games don’t have anywhere near the amount of depth a major release does.
Fortunately 2018 looks to have a few major game releases that will have me waiting for the Video game store to open on release day.
A Way Out
Unlike a couple of the other games to come on this list. A Way Out only began picking up interest at E3 this year. Billed as a Co-op only split screen game. Memories of playing couch co-op games as a kid have me interested to experience what a modern version will look like. From what I’ve seen, A Way Out is going to essentially be a video game version of the TV show Prison break. A show that I was a fan of for two seasons. It began to get just a little too unbelievable after that. This game has me excited because 1- I love couch Co-op. 2- the ability to have both Players in completely different parts of the jail, but be able to see what each of you is up to is awesome. 3- unlike a lot of online games, it only requires one available friend to play with.
Detroit: Become Human
If you haven’t already heard about Detroit: Become Human then obviously keeping up on current events isn’t your thing. Judging by the trailers and gameplay Videos I’ve seen. Detroit: Become Human is going to be a gorgeous looking game. In the game you play three key characters that all have an important part to play in the story. The primary subject matter is a popular subject these days. If artificial intelligence reaches the point of becoming self aware. Should it be allowed to govern itself, and share an equal place in society? I’ve always loved Android characters in films. In Detroit: Become Human you get to decide the path they would take. Awesome right! I definitely think so. I can’t wait for this game to be released because 1- it’s a game by Quantic Dream. Easily one of my favourite software development companies. 2- the story is of particular interest to me. Especially since you have a part in deciding where it goes. 3- the graphics look absolutely incredible. Just watch a trailer or two, you will be impressed.
Skull and Bones
Something that I feel has been missing from the Video game world for quite some time is Pirates. Sure there have been games that incorporated a few scenes or levels on the high seas. A dedicated game about living the life of a pirate hasn’t been available. Although it’s really just an Assassin’s Creed game. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag has had a hand in revitalizing the Pirate genre. It definitely has the feel, and look of a Pirate game, but that’s where it ends. At no time during that game do I feel like a Pirate. You always know that you are an Assassin first and foremost. Although it remains to be seen, Skull and Bones is supposed to be a much more realistic adaptation of Pirate life. I truly hope that’s the case. I’m totally stoked for Skull and Bones because 1- who doesn’t want to play the role of a Pirate Captain sailing the Seas. 2- online multiplayer ship to ship combat could be amazing if done right. 3- the solo Campaign sounds both challenging, and exciting. Let’s just hope it isn’t only 8 hours long like some recent letdowns.
There will be more
Those are the big three for me currently, but as Developers continue to push the PS4 limits. You can be sure that the number of quality games will increase. There’s been recent speculation about when the PS5 might be released. All I can say is that I hope it isn’t anytime soon. It’s been my experience that it takes most Developers close to three years to really understand a new console. Now that they are getting the most out of the PS4. Lets allow them to run wild with it.
