Not a very impressive list. Nothing really blew me away, but I am interested in Nioh, and Romance of The Three Kingdoms. Everything else was kind of meh to me. I still haven’t seen anything that’ll make me want to own a PS4.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. Had it since launch and been incredibly satisfied with it. Quite excited about Horizon and Uncharted 4 myself.
I don’t own a PS4. I’ve never been an Uncharted fan, and while Horizon does look good it’s not good enough to buy a PS4 for.
I’m the same. I’m not against getting a PS4 at all. Just waiting for something to convince me to buy it. There are some games I like the look of, but not enough to warrant the purchase yet.
No Man’s Sky almost had me swayed but then the PC version was announced, so I will get it on that.
I was the same way :]. All of the PS4 games that I want are coming to PC, except Horizon, so why get one right?
