I'll consider Contrast. Thief looks interesting, I'll look into it. Thanks. 

I am also considering Thief, I liked the first one a lot, but I am not sure about this revival, my game for Feb is DKC: TF and I am taking the wait and see approach for Thief, if it is good I will add it to my purchases of march. It is a first person (no shooter) game, so I don't know if you don't like the perspective (some people get motion sickness), or the shooting part of the FPS genre, my suggestion is to wait on that one it could be great, just average or just plain awful, the gameplay videos are scarce but the press has mentioned that it has improved over the months.

Same, DKC:TF is my main game for February also. I think the perspective is fine (it doesn't really get me sick) it's something about the generic "guy holding gun in a war/battlefield" that turns me off. I played Bioshock Infinite, and it was one of the best games of 7th gen in my opinion. Yeah, I will probably just wait to see what the reviews are and how the gameplay functions before purchasing it. Thanks.

I would have recommended Resogun, Tomb Raider, and Assassin's Creed IV as the three best games for someone not into FPS shooters. Resogun because every gamer should play and enjoy that, and the others because you like action/adventure games that Naughty Dog is well known for (enough for you to buy a console).

If you have a PS+ subscription, then don't worry about buying any more games until some new game that appeals to you comes out. In meantime you can play Resogun and then you can also try out the F2P games available on PS4 like DC Universe Online and Warframe.

Also, keep an eye on additional PS+ free games each month. For instance Feb will have Outlast which is a survival horror game without any combat... basically you have to run and hide to survive.

EDIT:
For upcoming games, I am looking forward to:

Thief in Feb
inFamous Second Son in Mar

There will definitely be more games beyond Mar, but I don't normally look that far ahead (not much point sitting and waiting for stuff)

Yeah, I don't have PS+ (even though I probably should by now lol). I will definitely get it now though. Infamous: Second Son really is the only PS4 game that I am really excited about with a confirmed release date. It looks awesome. Still deciding on Thief. 

Thanks for the suggesstions!

Why buy the PS4 when you need recommending what games you want for it? Why not wait?

1. I would have to buy it anyway for Naughty Dog.

2. Because the hype. 

 

Thanks for the suggesstions again everyone. I am considering many of these games now. Thank you.

Contrast is amazing. I hope it's still free on PSN plus. Outlast arrives on the fourth and Thief comes out on the 25th of Feb. All the others have been mentioned. Happy gaming. I love AC4 and am currently playing Tomb Raider.

Contrast is a platformer and outlast is a horror game.

Played Contrast today, couldn't stop until the credits ran. I don't get the bad review scores, I find it quite charming.

In terms of AAA exclusives you only have KZ and Knack. KZ is fun game and a good showcase of next gen graphis,, knack however to me was pretty crap but do try it as you might liek it. In tersm of other games ,, i am assuminng you have ps plus. Therefore get Contrast. Interesting and fun indie game to play, don't starve , warframe, black light retribution , dc online , war thunder resogun and the two pinball game( you only get trial version of teh pinball arcade so in order to play it ,, you need to pay for it) . All the bove mention games are free when you have play station plus membership. NFS is not bad,, plays liek burnou tand teh graphics is nice.. However teh controls is a bti slippery.

Killzone SF is great imo

Reviewers didn't liek contrast mainly due to technical problems. On teh ps4 version you get frequent slow downs,, glitches when you jump as you can get stuck to the environments,, and teh jumping mechanic is close to being broken.. Takes getting use to it. However teh game is indeed fun if you can past those problems and shouldn't take you more then 2-3 hours to finish the game and unlock all the trophies

I think you don't need PS plus for those 4 games. they are free for everybody who owns a PS4.

You can even see them as exclusives free games for the PS4 among next gen consoles.

Battlefield 4 is sweet. I kill lots of bit--es on that game.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I'd recommend Resogun and Flower for smaller titles. Outlast is coming in a couple days for free as part of PS+ and it's a good game from what I've read on the PC reviews. For bigger titles I really can't recommend the two PS4 exclusives. Killzone: Shadow Fall isn't a bad game but for first-person shooters your money would be better spent on Battlefield 4. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is probably the best retail game on the console right now but your money would be just as well spent on Tomb Raider. Thief is coming out next month so that may be something to look at and of course Infamous: Second Son is heading our way in March.
