Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in August 2018

Madden NFL 19,
We Happy Few,
The Walking Dead: The Final Season,
Shenmue 1&2,
Fire Pro Wrestling World,
Strange Brigade,
Yakuza: Kiwami 2,
Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition

Will all be mine some how. R.I.P my wallet and thats only August...

@get2sammyb
True lol

Shenmue and Yakuza are the big ones for me. However, I might not get any of the new releases in August, as I've already bought some games recently, got a scary backlog, and I'm eyeing up some more games in the EU PSN sale, plus September looks set to be a big month for games.

@ShadowWarrior
To save money you could skip Madden every 5 years or so, they rarely change enough to warrant a new $60 purchase every year

Guacamelee! 2 will hold me over nicely until Spiderman consumes me in the best kind of way early September

Sega are killing it in August. Shenmue Collection and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are must buys for me.

Nothing for me thankfully because September is going to be crazy. I will get The Walking Dead and Fire Pro Wrestling at some point tho.

Yakuza and shenmue releasing in the west in the same month. What is this madness! 😃

@steventonysmith
Nah im a madden nut, i've been buying it every year since Madden NFL 64 on the Nintendo 64. Its tradition. I buy Madden every year like people buy their Call of duties or Battlefields every year.

Shenmue and Yakuza back to back... Good times.

Kinda interested in We Happy Few. I'm glad it's still coming to PS4 despite Compulsion Games acquisition by Microsoft, as I don't have a gaming-capable PC and I have no interest in an Xbox right now.

@ShadowWarrior
At least with the Call of Duties or Battlefields they have a change of scenery and characters

Strange brigade has my interest. There's also a war hammer game I thought was supposed to come out, maybe it's pushed back again.

just walking dead final season for me, though i'll probably wait til it's all available before getting it. having 1-2 hr episodes every 2-3 months doesn't work for me.

@leucocyte and it will be half price after 2 or 3 eps are released

Wow, not a single thing for me to play. Good thing Skyrim lasts forever lol. I was so excited about Divinity then I realized it’s turn-based and I turned off.

@ShadowWarrior sounds like my Brother-In-Law. Guy only plays Madden games. Bought a PS4 solely for Madden and has since changed to XBOX because his son’s teacher runs a 32-person league that’s non-stop. I was once a Madden addict but I think 2012 is when it ended for me. I’ve become addicted to story-based fantasy/adventure games.

Way too many games I'm interested but I only getting for now Shenmue I already preordered because I get a poster lol and Yakuza
And I wish I had more money and time for We Happy Few, Candleman, Guacamelee! 2 and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

@steventonysmith
why do you care so much about what i do or "dont" buy ? first my comment on the Plus thread now here.

Only care about Firewall and Dead Cells. Everything else getting a sale to wait on.

@steventonysmith

Each years new Madden gives you instant access to play as the new years players that were picked in the NFL draft a few months ago. Also with the addition of Longshot mode you get a new story to play every year. And you also get new commentary.

Might not seem like a lot to some, but to hardcore Madden fans such as myself, it's a lot and worthy of picking up a new copy every year

A really solid month, but my backlog is too big already. I will wait for Spider-Man.

Maybe dead cells, but I still have to finish Nioh, then to Prey and Dishonored 2. So probably a purchase free month

Nothing for me, at this rate I'll be playing dark souls for ever!! Screw you poisonous blightown

Absolutely loved Shenmue 1 & 2 but don't think I could play them again today although maybe.... I even named my cat Tama after the one he finds in his home town 😁

Guacamelee 2 and maybe dead cells for me.

Also releasing in August - Blade Strangers (Aug 28th).

Super packed months between Aug-Oct!

@WanderingBullet At first I didn't even know what I was actually watching especially at 1:40 until the end the only thing that I understand is that this is a weird crossover of indie games but I still don't know what kind of game it is, but one thing is for sure they know how to sell their game

We happy few is released next month? I didnt even know it was set to be released this year.
I might buy it, but i'm kind of put off because if its good and they released i sequel, i'll never get to play it.

Shenmue, Yakuza and not on the list WarioWare Gold.

The calm before the storm, haha.

@GKO900 Sorry, I couldn't find any official gameplay trailers for it. Only ones available are from YouTubers. But yeah, it's a 2D looking type fighting game. Also, it's not actually hand-drawn sprites but 3D models made to look like it.

Nothing grabbing me for August, but OMG September has some great Black Friday games releasing!

@ShadowWarrior Madden 19, The Walking Dead Final Season and Little Dragons Cafe for me

@steventonysmith lol stop bother Shadowwarrior.. do what he want on games. you can't tell him to not buy Madden every year

Grabbing shenmue, yakuza, and bullet girl phantasia!

The only games I am looking forward to next month are Divinity: Original Sin II and Shenmue I & II

Fire Pro Wrestling World!

If it was one it would be PES 2019 but I may leave it a couple of months this time to gauge genuine opinion on the internet, rather than be swept along by paid-for reviews etc and end up disappointed.

@NYJetsfan123
Couldn't they charge you once for Madden and make it a continued Online service? Provide yearly patches that add or subtract, and trade the players required? As far as the Story Mode in Madden there is only so many ways you can tell the same story.

My original comment was if someone's wallet is being strained from the onslaught of games being released all at once, Madden seems like a series of games that you can wait a couple weeks on to help your wallet recover.

@PS4fan
I never said he couldn't buy Madden if he wanted to, just said its dumb to keep giving EA more money for a franchise that literally evolves at the speed of a sloth

@steventonysmith i think he probably want play Franchise Mode to win super bowl championship like me and NYJetfan

Hm, plenty of games on the list I was originally planning to get, but I don't really feel like any of them right now. I'm hoping for some "unknown" Indie game to jump in.

Overcooked 2, Shenmue and Guacamelee 2

Hey PS folk, just wanted to suggest a suggestion lol
On these articles itd be soooo nice to just have the genre info as well. Ie
-The Walking Dead (horror)
Etc and so forth.

Hell yeah!!

Yakuza Kiwami 2, Shenmue 1-2, Overcooked 2, Death's Gambit, & The Walking Dead The Final Season are all gonna be mine!!

I'm honestly interested in We Happy Few but I'll wait for reviews!
Yakuza 2 is a must but I'll pick it on sale since I didn't finish Yakuza 6 yet D:
Shemnue is also a probable sale for me...
Overcooked 2 will have to be bought or my gf will murder me in my sleep with a cooking knife

Death Gambit and Dead Cells for me.... looking forward for some metroidvania darksoulesque adventures 😊

It'll be a shambles if people don't buy Divinity 2. Can't wait, especially with all the new additions
