Pretty bad, however Sony always has a weak launch line-up, things really start to pick up after the first few months, expect Uncharted in November 2014. It'll only be uphill from there. They have all of the third parties and third party games seem to be superior on PS4 at the moment.

I don't mean to take anything away from the competition but even with the PS4 falling short of expectations, it's still setting launch records even with a poor launch line up and mass hysteria over the .04% failure rate. Yes it is only a .04% failure rate. I shouldn't say only however because .04% of 1 million is still 40,000 failed units....


.04% would be 400 units.

4% of 1M is 40,000 units.

but yeah 0.04% is 400 units.

It's 0,4% actually. So 4000 units.

I voted good. I picked up BF4, AC4, and Shadow Fall. Also got Resogun and Contrast free with PS+ and War Frame is a pretty cool game. Just because it's not packed with 1st party games doesn't mean it sucks.

Lets be honest this launch lineup is pretty terrible which consists of last gen games and mediocre titles, that's why i chose to pass on getting a launch console this go around. Nothing against the PS4 because i will be picking one up in 2014 when a few games have hit the market (hopefully a limited edition :D) but until then ill pass the time by catching up my backlog from past gens. To all you early adopters though congrats on being us patient people's test dummies :D haha! lol

I'm done with it...

Bought KZ, Knack, and Resogun.

Resogun rocks. Killzone was decent but not as good as previous KZs. And Knack is fun at first but gets boring quick.

Skipped the PC ported indies because I already have them as PC games.

Skipped the multi-platform games because I am getting them on X1.

I feel scores are over-inflated nowadays, while most of these games are scoring 70-80, they deserve 60-70.

With that said, I voted decent. Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube, X-Box 1, and Wii had a better line-up. I think a good launch lineup needs at least 1 much have title, and PS4/XBO lack that. Dreamcast had Sonic Adventure, Cube had Pikmin/Luigi's Mansion, and Melee followed 2 weeks later, XB1 had Halo, PGR, and Dead or Alive 3, among others, and Wii had Zelda/Wii Sports

Be specific.

I think Battlefield, Killzone, Assassin's Creed and pretty well every big name game in the launch line up is over rated. Not just for PS4, but in general I feel high budget games never get the scores they really deserve because they fund gaming websites with ads.

Need for Speed especially, no NFS game deserves a score above 75/100, except maybe the original Most Wanted.

I feel Knack got the only honest score, and that's a 60.

So why I say PS4 is average is because there is no gem in the lineup. N64 for instance only had 2-3 games in the launch lineup, but Super Mario 64 was a game people bought up until the console died, it was awesome. Twilight Princess for Wii was much the same, and I gave other examples above.

A launch is suppose to have at least 1 game which justifies why someone developed a console. Killzone and 7/8th gen multiplats don't do this, they just give you reason to play a game in 1080p. Wii Sports and Super Mario 64 on the other hand, justified a new console, you could not play a game like that in any way on the Gamecube/SNES.

Never played any of the exclusive probably never will. the line up is ight thanks to the fact that multi plats have taken over the industry. I think it's sad that the best game of the "next gen" happens to be a space invaders upgrade.......

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

Have you played BF4, KZ: Shadow Fall, AC4, or NFS Rivals on PS4?

And there's no way in hell Knack is a 60. At least, not based on where I am in the game.
