Reasons to Get a PS4?

[DarkDesertFox]

I already own an Xbox One and I don't plan on getting rid of it, but my sister and I are thinking of going halfsies on a PS4. Hearing about all the upcoming exclusives for it has really peaked my interest for the console. The thing is I'm not really convinced I want to make the investment yet. Why did you get a PS4? What exclusives on it do you enjoy playing or are looking forward to?

Edit: If there are any cool anime games you know on there feel free to add those. I know the XB1 is lacking in that category and I do love my anime.

Honestly, I own neither an Xbox One or a PS4 yet. I probably will buy one or both this coming year. I mostly want an Xbox One for things like Rare Replay and Rock Band 4 (previous Rock Bands I played on Xbox 360 so I need to keep to the same console family to convert DLC) so honestly it's lower priority for me than a PS4.

Here's some PS4-only games I personally think are interesting:

The Last of Us Remastered
Uncharted series
Omega Quintet (I'm a fan of Idea Factory's anime-type games)
Sword Art Online Lost Song (if I don't get the Vita version first...)
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8
Megadimension Neptunia V II (see Omega Quintet)
Final Fantasy VII Remake

Other upcoming PS4 only games:
Disgaea 5
Persona 5
Valkyria: Azure Revolution
Ni no Kuni 2
Nier: Automata
Yakuza 6

I got one on Christmas, and it looks really good.

Problem for me at the moment is, every time I try to create or login a PSN account, it gets stuck on "Please Wait..."
...It's happening to a lot of other people on a forum I saw too, and it still hasn't been solved. I have no idea if it's happening to everyone or not, but it might happen to you, just wanted to get that out here.

The games on PS4 are really interesting though when it comes to graphics and story, depending. Most are fantastic, like the Last of Us: Remastered.

^ Sony's servers are having account creation problems right now. Been going on since Christmas Eve IIRC. This is not an all-the-time thing, just right now.

Thank God! I thought it was something up with my console.

So yes, what they said. You'd have to wait to go online on PSN if your going to purchase one now.

I don't have one but i heard they're making it so that you can play ps2 games on the ps4, which is pretty cool.

mother****ing Persona 5


and Yakuza games, Until Dawn, Final Fantasy VII remake, Street Fighter V

The Walking Dead is on PS4 too. Season 1 and 2.

All you need to do is google a list of system exclusives and voila, there are plenty of reasons right there! I quite adore my PS4; I don't think it takes all that much work to "convince" someone to buy it if they're already familiar with the merits of the system.

Thanks for the input so far guys! Seeing some good stuff.

I did find a huge list, but I wanted to know the most important key games so I don't have to search up each one individually. It would be an easy decision for sure if I didn't own an Xbox One already. It is a little easier to make one though since my sister and I would both be going in on it and I wouldn't have to pay the full price.

I did that (because I'm also trying to decide whether or not to get one with Christmas money) but there was enough stuff on the list like 'The Last of Us' that is on/I have on PS3 to make the list a bit less good looking. Same goes with a lot of multiplatform releases like 'Metal Gear Solid V' as well. I would re-buy them if I had a PS4, but they're by no means something that's gonna sell the console to me.

I know stuff is coming out in the future but, yano, I can't play those yet.

All you need.

Does it matter if you've played older Persona games or not? I wanted to try the games but don't know if I want to have to 'catch up' to understand everything.

I don't know if fighting games matter to many people, but the PS4 does seem to be the main platform for it right now. Street Fighter V, King of Fighters 14 are both exclusives, while Tekken 7 will have exclusive content and will somehow work with VR, if that's a thing you're into.

 

[Stalfos]

The last guardian is probably the biggest upcoming exclusive for PS4.

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

JRPG:
Kingdom Hearts III
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Tales of Berseria

Other really cool games:
Rime
The Last Guardian
No Man's Sky

These are the ones that have interested me so far. Here is a list of exclusives if you're looking for something particular:

PlayStation 4 Exclusives

 

[Bosca]

Omg Rime looks so good, they should really show us more on it.

IKR! It's like Journey and ICO had a baby.

The Persona series is just like the Final Fantasy series, in that each game is self-contained with a new set of characters and such. The only exception to that is the spinoff games (the fighting games, Dancing All Night, Persona Q). All the main Persona games can be played in any order.

The new Ratchet and Clank game looks like a good enough reason to get a PS4

 

[Acruoxil]

Persona 5 with enhanced graphics, refined gameplay and possible additional features???? That's all the reason you'll need.

Other than that, I suppose a lot of exclusives for it, better services(PS+>XBLive), plus you have a Vita so you can easily remote play. You know, play Grand Theft Auto on your toilet seat. I'm all for that.
