PS4 and Xbox One - are there any good games yet?

[Violent By Design]

The Order looks interesting.

Crimson Dragon has the potential to be the first good Kinect game.

It isn't a Kinect game, or at least not primarily one.

I wonder how many "Kinect Required" games we'll see this gen.

-a whole buncha crap that don't matter-
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (The Chinese Room)
-ditto-

Shut up and take my money.

Yup. That's one I'm very much looking forward to. Dear Esther is one of my favorite games of the past couple years.

Would Dear Esther run well on pretty much any half decent machine? Thinking of buying it on Steam right this second.

PS4

Knack (Mark Cerny)
Resogun (HouseMarquee [Super Stardust])
Contrast (Compulsion)
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (The Chinese Room)

How many of these are retail releases? I'm looking to add another game to my pre-order list. If they're digital releases though (I presume Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is?), that's cool. I can just download them on the launch day.

Can you HL2? Then yes.

I would assume that only Knack will be a retail release out of those 4.

I've never played HL2. Been missing out?

Yeah, it should run on just about anything. It runs in the Source engine for one thing. And it's not even as graphically intensive as any modern Source game (Like Left 4 Dead, or Team Fortress 2).

I should note that I use an overpriced underpowered Mac. At least when it comes to games... I quite like the build quality and Mac OS. But I'll give it a go anyway.

And maybe I'll even check out HL2, TF2, and some other stuff soon enough. Pretty new to Steam. Not that I've never used it before, but I've never explored PC games much.

To tie this back into the PS4/Xbox One thing, if I like Dear Esther then I will most definitely be looking forward to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Is it confirmed for launch day or just launch window?
