Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of February 2017

There you go First vote, enjoy

You forgot Ys Origin.

@Enuo Was considered, but without a confirmed EU release date, we couldn't quite include it.

Berserk for me I love the koei warrior style games

@Enuo ys origin? Didn't that come out ages ago on vita? Is it coming to PS4???? If it is I'll definitely be getting that as well!

** just googled, it's not the vita one, it's the PC only one from 2006 - will still be getting if the price is decent - hopefully it's cross buy a its digital only (however so is dynasty warriors godseekers and that wasn't)

Nioh only because Horizon is March for me.

I would be voting Horizon but it's not here til the first of March Febuary is a very lean month for me wasn't blown away by the Nioh demo so that would have to be a sub- £20 game for me to be interested

It's cheating slightly but I'd say Horizon as well, probably. Nioh looks great too, but For Honour seems dull and Bezerk is the same Dynasty Warriors game we've seen a hundred times but with a different skin.

March, though...March is going to be a busy month. Trying to finish as many games as I can in February to get ready for it!

@ShogunRok these first few months of the year have been the best I can remember for a very long time and I just can't keep up either time wise or financially. With these games in Feb or March for Horizon, the likes of Yakuza and Resident Evil last month. Before Yooka Laylee, South Park, Persona 5, Nier and many more in the next couple of months it's just insane

@carlos82 Yeah, it's ridiculous. I'm almost glad that Persona 5 got pushed to April - now it's like the icing on the cake!

Torment: Tides of Numenera comes out this month too. I hope RPG lovers are not sleeping on this one. It is an isometric old school RPG and a spiritual succesor to Planescape Torment, one of the best and most unique games ever released. All the recent hands on previews were very positive indicating it could be a game many (I guess/hope) were waiting for. A true RPG experience (in contrast to many modern titles) with a rich story, moral ambiguity, colorful characters, multiple ways to approach quests (supposedly you can complete it without killing anyone), totally unique setting and a certain dose of quirkiness.

BEEEERSEEEEEEEEEEERK

I voted for Horizon, but Nioh isn't far behind, really looking forward to both games.

I think 2017 is going to be an insanely good year for gaming. On paper at least I think it's easily the best year this gen.

Horizon and Mass Effect right around the corner and maybe Red Dead 2 this year...

That's just three games. I could make a list haha.

Horizon zero dawn, I'm so hyped for this game after the previews event, the gameplay is like a mix of witcher 3 and monster hunter, and the graphics especially at night with firefly is just insane.

And night in the woods if the game's good.

Nothing. February is the month I'll use to get through Uncharted 4 and Gravity Rush 2 before Breath of the Wild and the Nintendo Switch release. And then once April rolls around, I'll be finishing Zelda while I'm out of the house and enjoying Persona 5 at home.

And once Danganronpa V3 and Etrian Odyssey V release... god help me.

2017 really is a fantastic year for video games.

I voted Horizon but I will be busy with Zelda so might as well get it 2 months later when it drops in price. TLG style. Nioh is a maybe.

For me it is #1Horizon #2Berserk #3For Honor but overall an expensive month.

Nioh but I doubt i'll get it at launch, not that excited, i've not got much hope for Horizon and For Honor is Poobisoft so..i've not bought a single game yet this year and may not until tbh I dunno RDR maybe?

None of the above.

Horizon first, but nioh release is soon so I'm getting both, souls/bloodborne my favorite games right now, I just hope horizon as good as expected, I've had a hard time getting into open world games lately for some reason and they use to be my hands down favorite, I guess maybe because they are all so similar.

I think it may have a lot to do with the hundreds of lame side quests in them. I would rather see a game have 20 larger side quests with their own mini plots than 200 small side quests where your asked to do the dumbest things. Hey I'm outta beans go get me some, stuff like that....

Horizon looks astonishing, but I also enjoy the little indies such as Night in the Woods. Sometimes the lack of hype can provide a more satisfying experience when an indie game turns out to be amazing. The art style of this one looks particularly interesting.

Not as good as January

I'm still going to wait for reviews on Horizon, as I'm not getting burned again by preordering (unless it's the new pallbearer vinyl. You can preorder that. It'll be quality.) After NMS.

Isn't the Berserk Manga meant to be hugely influential on Dark Souls? If so, that might be worth a go.....

I want Nioh, but I don't have a whole lot of money for games in my budget this month... I'll be holding off for Horizon at the end of the month. The rest of my money is being reserved for the Switch launch in March and the wave of PS4 games coming that month as well. I'll wait until later in the year for Nioh.

Horizon is almost a must have for me, with Nioh and For Honor being closely watched. That is, if they review well.

Torment: Tides of Numenera for me. Horizon looks pretty awesome too.

Honestly Horizon but I voted Night in the Woods coz it says Fat Pocket Pawn in the window.

Pre-ordered Horizon zero dawn special edition, and it seems that in our local store it only cost 63 $ instead of 70$ or more. Also looking forward NIOH seems like a solid game.

This month is Nioh for me. That game is going to be gorgeous. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm a little worried about Horizon. I really hope I love it when I played, but something about it makes me feel it'll actually be a little dull to play. But even so, this is a great month all round.

And thanks for the tip on Night In The Woods!

@LieutenantFatman @Lurker I second your choice. Can't wait for Torment: Tides of Numenera. I love great story driven games and this is partly written by some of the best fantasy authors .

@Lurker I backed the Kickstarter on it so have had the beta for the past 6 months on PC. I've not wanted to spoil my first playthrough though so have only played the first hour of the section given in the beta, but it looks promising from what I have seen. Planescape is one of my all time favourite games so it has a lot to live up to (I think I'm a sucker for melancholic story lines though, so if it does that right it should be good). Now I want to play the rest of the beta...

I can't wait to see if there's a game to go with those graphics so I picked Horizon: Zero Dawn but I also want to see if For Honor's gameplay is legit. Both look really cool, but I'm still in wait and see mode until they release.

As an extra thought: my last relationship ended before the new year so I say sod Valentine's Day, pop in For Honor and bring on the axes!!!

horizon, even though it'll probably be 2nd of march for me. none of the others interest me. march looks more insane for me.. horizon, ghost recon: wildlands, mass effect: andromeda. i'm currently grinding my way though skyrim.. bit worried i'll have open world burnout before the end of that lot.

oh well all these games are great hits, looking forward to Nioh but yet I'm saving my money for Horizon, gonna have to pick Nioh in a few weeks after (or even months!)...

Horizon for me! Bu i won't buy it for now, i gotta finish ff xv

Sniper Elite 4 as I just love the series. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is also looking great which is due in April. I'll get Horizon eventually but it hasn't really interested me much yet.

@Dichotomy

Nice! Does that mean you're in the game? Heard some backers are, though I imagine it must be an exclusive group of those who contributed the most.

Planescape is probably my favorite game ever, so I don't expect this new game to reach anywhere near those heights, but it could still bloody well be a great game.

@Lurker No I never backed to that level, I think there were multiple tiers to be in the game, but I was happy with the Torment with Wasteland 2 thrown in tier that was pretty cheap.

Recently they've announced they dropped some of the stretch goals including 3 of the 9 playable characters which sucks a bit. As an apology though they said all future DLC will be free for backers so I hope that works out well and some of that content is extra characters.

NIGHT IN THE WOODS!!!!!! ive been waiting eagerly for this since it was 1st announced. It seems to have been specifically created just for me lol. As far as i can tell it might end up being GOTY for me. Yes im serious! Surprised by the lack of interest from others.
