The deep bond that is created between a video game fan and a console inevitably passes through the emotions conveyed by the first titles purchased. Thinking back to the endless play library of the PS4, let's take a dip into memories to recall the sensations given to us by the first games played on the Sony console.
Since its arrival on the market, PlayStation 4 has offered video game enthusiasts a true multiverse of simply unforgettable interactive experiences among triple-A exclusives, bold first-party projects and multiplatform titles who have written the history of the sector.
The so-called 'early adopters' of the Sony console that preceded the PS5 generation will certainly remember the emotions felt while admiring the introductory sequence of Killzone Shadow Fall, a PS4 launch exclusive with impressive graphics. Despite a rather anonymous plot and post-launch support that is incomplete to say the least (especially with regards to the multiplayer sector), Guerrilla Games' sci-fi shooter delighted buyers of the first hour of the PS4 by showing all the computational power of the Sony platform and the capabilities of the DualSense controller.
Furthermore, among the many PlayStation console fans who purchased the PS4 at launch, many still remember with nostalgia the nights spent destroying alien spaceships in the arcade dimension of Resoguna great little gem made even more popular by its entry on day one in the PlayStation Plus catalog. For a further trip down memory lane, here you will find our review of Resogun.
And what about then inFamous Second Son, DriveClub e The Order 1886? The 'honeymoon' of the first PlayStation 4 buyers includes both the superhero-tinged open world action of Sucker Punch and the automotive (and subsequently motorcycling) experience of the now closed Evolution Studios, as well as the original shooter of Ready at Dawn, each of which has been able to satisfy the tastes and needs of an increasingly demanding public eager to fully exploit the potential of their favorite gaming machine (a discussion, the latter, which rightfully also involves those who bought PS4 to dive into PlayStation VR Virtual Reality experiences).
Then there are those, and there are quite a few, who have decided to buy PlayStation 4 in the second part of the life cycle of the Sony console, attracted by the many promotions of the commercial chains, by the release on the market of more updated models such as PS4 Slim and PS4 PRO and, obviously, by the desire to recover the gems of a truly enormous toy library.
Reading the discussions started by the community on the most popular forums and social networks, in fact, it is not uncommon to come across those who claim to have bought the PS4 with the intention of not missing out on titles like Uncharted 4, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Parte 2, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn e Bloodborneto say nothing of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Detroit Become Human, Marvel’s Spider-Man e Gran Turismo Sport. But now it's your turn: let us know with a comment what your first video game for PlayStation 4 was and tell us your experience with it. The writer, for example, still remembers with nostalgia the lightheartedness and emotions of the hours spent playing Resogun and Trine 2.
