The PS4 is the best console ever, IMO.

The scope, ambition, polish, refined mechanics of games this gen has made the PS4 my default choice. Games like GOW, Horizon, and RDR2 blow anything out of the water from previous gens. Aside from nostalgia, I don't see how older consoles match the PS4, or even the Switch, in terms of actual games.

For me it only makes sense to move forward. If gens weren't getting better and games as well I would keep playing old stuff, I wouldn't expend money to play what I would consider worse.

I do have some nostalgia, but I rather they make a remaster/remake so I can play with current visual and gameplay than going back to play PS1 games (even though I loved replaying Soul Reaver and FF IX on PS3 and PS4 - but original version... still I played probably 2 or 3 dozen remakes and remasters that were better than they were on the original because they kept the soul of the game intact just giving the paint cover and polish it needed to look current).

That's the truth. 

I'd love a few remakes for older titles from the PS1/PS2 era. It would do wonders for a few dormant Sony IP's (Syphon Filter, Sly, Jak, Socom, etc).

Jak and Sly had remaster collections on PS3 I loved them (Sly even got a sequel); Syphon Filter I would very much like to play either a RE2 remake style or a new entry.

PS2 had the most diverse software library ever. Today's game designer don't have the balls to release games like Mister Mosquito, Katamari Damacy, Shox, or those great simulation games with special controllers like Keyboard Mania, Densha de Go, Flying Circus etc.

PS1 had the best RPG and puzzle games. PS3 only had boring FPS stuff and was a complete software disappointment coming from PS2, except Ni No Kuni.

On PS4 you have more of the same. It's not bad, but new game ideas are quite rare. The reason why I bought the PS4 was The Last Guardian, and it was worth buying the system. Other games like Rime, Ni No Kuni 2, Life is Strange 2 are good, but... you know, there were times were games were made to bring fun to people. Do you really have fun playing games on PS4? Compare this gaming experience to evergreen arcade games like Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast/PS2/GameCube.

At first, I thought you talked about 1st party games and here I agree that Sony experimented more on PS2 and PS3. But seeing that you're also considering 3rd party games, I don't really know how you manage to only find "boring FPS stuff".

PS4 (and PS3 for that matter) has a lot of different games (also some fun shooters). Some suggestions:

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 1+2:


Ratchet & Clank:


Sonic/Crash racing:


Tearaway Unfolded:


Uncharted 4 multiplayer:


Crash/Spyro trilogies:


Rocket League:


Rayman Legends:


LittleBigPlanet 3:


And if you have a PSVR, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a must play:

great list! thanks
