So, my mate’s coming up with his kids over the school holidays and it just so happens that controllers were on a pretty good deal and my two controllers are starting to have battery issues, so I thought why not get two new ones and check out some four player options out. I think we were spoilt with the N64... Key: (PSN) - offered already as a monthly freebie - could these be offered again? Man, there's heaps I missed! (PSowN) - as long as I pay my subs I have these (own) - I bought it (free) - free to play *** - I'm interested in somewhat Just setting up some categories for now, wondering how to class them... Party: Overcooked(PSowN): I think this could be the one. Managing a kitchen with 4 people. ***Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time (PSN): Managing a spaceship with 4. Less so with the girls. Tiny Brains: TBD Carnival Games: TBD That's You (PSN): TBD Knowledge is Power (PSN): TBD Co-op/Scroller: Rayman (PSowN): co-op playthrough I think. Little Big Planet 3 (PSowN): co-op playthrough. ***Badland (PSN): Indie scrolling jumper. Players have to keep up with the leader. ***Helldiver (PSN): TBD ***Broforce (PSN): Scrolling shooter with all the 80’s action heroes. Heavy on the guns. ***Guacamalee 2 (PSN): TBD More jumping around. ***Alienation (PSN): TBD Guns, Gore & Cannolli: TBD Spelunky: Dungeon crawler? Hack & Slash & Loot: Diablo 3 (own): This is probably too big a game to get into over a couple nights. Never ending dungeon crawling. Gauntlet (PSowN): seems to be a popular one, I only remember emptying my piggy bank on this game at the arcade. Lara Croft & Temple of Osiris (PSowN): Gauntlet with guns? Magicka 2 (PSowN): Another long winded game that requires time to get into like Diablo I think. Puzzle: ***Tricky Tower (PSN):4 player Tetris with an environment that can change game play. ***Death squared: Brother recommends this. Minecraft: The girls know how to play this and I don’t. Open world builder to muck around in I guess. Terraria: TBD Fighter/brawlers: Brawlhalla (free): PS4 version of Mario Smash. Starwhal (PSowN): This could be a laugh. Controls are frustrating though. In Space we Brawl (PSowN): Asteroid like space shooter. ***Gang beasts: wobbly wrestling could be a laugh. ***Towerfall Ascension (PSN): Smash bro’s 2D style. ***Ultimate Chicken Horse: hmmm SuperBomberman R: I remember this having a good 4p mode. Laser League (PSowN): This has potential, I really dunno what to class this as, lol. Strategy Worms Battlegrounds (PSN): TBD Shooters: Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 (own): I saw 4p split screenshots, but haven't researched yet. Looks like 4p split is only for the Xbox. Borderlands (PSowN): (free this month!) Call of Duty 3 (PSOWN): actually bought this game back when, but now plays without disk! ***Screencheat: Splitscreen where you watch the other screens. Reminds me of my Bond days. Black Ops 4: looks to be available 4 player Racing: Trials Fusion (PSowN): between this and overcooked, I think is all I got... Track mania Turbo (PSowN): I need a racer like mariokart... ***Speedrunners: I think, this could be fun. ***OlliOlli2 (PSN): And this could get competitive. All-Star Fruit Racing: TBD Beach Buggy Racing: TBD Micro machines: TBD Crash Team Racing: TBD Team Sonic Racing: TBD Something about team co-op racing play looks interesting. Sport: Everybody's Tennis (own): Is this the same game as Mario Tennis? coz it certainly feels like it. PES 2019 Lite (free): PES lite looks like a fantasy league thing. That could be cool. ***EA NHL: TBD - I love Hockey. Cricket 19: He loves cricket. EA FIFA: TBD NBA2K: TBD Everybody's Golf: TBD Rocket League (PSowN): looking good Pyre: Has some 3v3 basketball minigame Rayman Legends (PSowN): Has 2v2 kung-soccer minigame What do you guys recommend?
I bought Everybody’s Tennis. It looks and feels just like Mario Tennis. Also downloaded PES lite and Brawlhalla. And I figured out Black ops 3 zombies too, as I failed miserably to get two player going last Christmas. Now it’s working four players! I'm just building up a list - mainly for me, but feel this could be useful for anyone. It's not anything complete, just what stands out or looks interesting, while I search but it's kinda heading that way. There's not actually a lot of info on 4-player couch games, and it's hard to tell what is actually local or online when they say 4 players can participate... but I'm figuring that out! Can someone who can please edit my heading with "Local" at the start. It should really be Local 4 player games on the PS4.
Just noticed Worms is $5. Played a round of the tennis, and it feels a lot like Mario. The only thing that feels off is aiming your shot. I think we could get into this. We loved Mario Tennis.
Rayman: Legends is fun for older and younger players. And... Damn, four player games aren't as common today.
