The Sony PlayStation 4's November 15th, 2013, retail arrival is the first salvo launched in the next-generation home video-game console war—a war that has the potential to be as memorable as the classic Genesis/SNES battle of the early- to mid- 90s. Not only does Sony's box arrive in stores a week before Microsoft's third home video game console, the Xbox One , but Sony's also price is also a full $100 less than its competition from Microsoft.
If you plan to purchase a PlayStation 4 on launch day prepare to be a bit underwhelmed. Many of the big franchises associated with the PlayStation brand are M.I.A. are day one. There's no Infamous. No Uncharted. No Prototype. Adding to the disappointment, Driveclub and Watchdogs, two highly anticipated PlayStation 4 launch games, were pushed back to 2014. Oh, there's also no hardware backwards capability so you can't plop a hot PlayStation 3 game into your shiny new system, either.
In addition, many day-one PlayStation 4 titles are intergenerational games that also appear on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Naturally, the PlayStation 4 versions will have graphical improvements and/or extra game modes, but don't expect a radical difference. Not yet, anyway. Don't despair, however: the PlayStation 3 launched with a weak lineup, too, but the library strengthened to the point where the system became one worth owning.
In any case, there are a few games that will definitely be worth a day-one pick-up if a PlayStation 4 is already in your future. Our recommended PlayStation 4 launch games include the action, first-person shooter, puzzle, and arcade titles that will carry you through to 2014 (the year when the really hot games will begin to pop up in stores and the PlayStation Network digital marketplace).
It's hard to dispute the argument that PlayStation 4's launch library isn't very strong, but if you're an early adopter who must have Sony's latest video game console as soon as humanly possible, these are the games that you should check out.
