My Dad bought me a PS4 with Killzone and was furious to find me playing Resogun all day as it just looked “the same as Galaxian from 40 years ago” and not the Next Gen £349 experience.

That is fucking hilarious 😂 boomer take

[@rickyrosay33977]

I was the same I was playing Resogun and my oldest uncle came in and said “this game is like defender I used to play this on my Atari and they sell this thing for $349 you just ripped off” I got COD ghosts for my launch title

[@MacMak-hq3kl]

The 8th generation of consoles had the strangest launch window imo. Ryse, Thief, Fighter Within, just to name a few. It was all so bizarre

[@scarrantsandreviews]

A lot of the PS3 era Sony games never really got their time to shine since Xbox 360 was the dominant console in the west. The region where these kinds of games have the most appeal. Killzone 2 and 3, inFAMOUS 1 and 2, the Resistance trilogy, Puppeteer, Playstation All-Stars, and so many others deserve another shot. They are as good, and in some cases, better than those developers output in the PS4 generation. If PS3 had been the dominant console like the PS4 was they probably would have sold several million copies and been remembered as fondly as things like Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima

[@lockonandfire]

Including Resogun was the correct decision, absolutely brilliant game.

[@ikkeneso9906]

When I saw the PS4's launch lineup in 2013, I decided to hold off. I finally bit the bullet and bought one the next year with Killzone Shadow Fall and Infamous Second Son. It wasn't anything spectacular but I enjoyed both games and would spend some time on the PS4 even if I was still on PS3 most of the time. It got better over time with Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, MGS5 and Uncharted 4

[@Trippsy05]

I got a PS5 recently and since I never had a Playstation before I'm enjoying a bunch of ps4 games and ps5 games at 60fps. God of War is definitely my favorite so far, Grand Turismo 7 is an honorable mention, and Spiderman was fun despite a bit grindy. Gonna start TLOU soon after I finish Shadow of the Colossus.

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

I held off on buying the PS4 for a while and didn't get around to buying it until 2016. My first two games were Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 and those two games, especially Bloodborne, made the console purchase immediately worth it. Ultimately I didn't get around to buying as many games on the PS4 as I did with the PS2 and PS3 since I wasn't playing as much anymore and I also had a gaming PC that I gave some attention to and also owned an XB1 S that I owned a few games on, though fewer than on PS4, my overall experience with the PS4 and the 8th gen has been good.

[@ikkeneso9906]

@@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams Same thing for me, I have the same number of games on my PS4 as my PS2 (22) but it was still less than on my PS3 (29). Still I had a good time on PS4 and it has some of my favorite games of all time.

[@ikkeneso9906]

@@Trippsy05 That's great, I would also recommend that you play the Uncharted games, the Horizon games and Ghost of Tsushima.

[@chikish]

I got a PS4 a few years after it was released, but I have only played Resogun out of all the launch lineup. I really missed out on 'AC Black Flag'.

[@sdp640]

Good that you missed out, that game simply isn't that great

[@trunter20]

Right there with you buddy. Genuinely enjoyed Knack, even replayed it recently and it's still a good time X

The Just Dance bit was hilarious. Had a great laugh with the fist pumping and walking away lmao

[@AliSubhi-xs4rn]

That's a shocking line of launch titles. Pretty impressive that the PS4 managed to bounce back.

[@ElTequilla]

What’s shocking about it? That the exclusives overall are mediocre, and that it lacks a stone-cold classic ? Because otherwise the third party output is probably some of the better across any generation

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

People complained about the Switch's launch line up being too small, but at least people had Breath of the Wild to tie themselves over until more quality titles came out within the first month. 3DS launch was definitely the worst out of all Nintendo platforms besides Virtual Boy.
