What are the best PS4 games at E3 2019? We’ve been paying close attention to every new PlayStation 4 title debuting in Los Angeles this week, and we’ve compiled a definitive list of our favourites. Some of these titles you’ll have seen before, others were announced during one of the many press conferences surrounding the Electronics Entertainment Expo’s showfloor. So, which titles have got us in a frenzy?
Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4)
While we did expect to see more of Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox's E3 2019 stage, the cinematic trailer that we ended up with was still pretty damn cool. Gratuitous swearing mixed with dire consequences is the formula for this one, but the real highlight was seeing Keanu Reeves pop up at the end of it. The bottom line is that we've seen enough of Cyberpunk 2077 to know that it looks incredibly promising, and obviously, at this point, we'd never bet against the outstanding talent at CD Projekt Red. "Wake the **** up, samurai" is a line that we'll be repeating for months to come.

DOOM Eternal (PS4)
DOOM Eternal was the centrepiece of Bethesda's E3 press conference, so it's a good job that the devil slayer brought the ass kicking in droves during his hour of need. Gameplay detailed an even bigger focus on taking the fight to the enemy, with certain pick-ups tied to the different ways that foes meet their end and a grappling hook that turns destruction into creativity. The experience looks set to be every bit as good as its 2016 predecessor, so let the ripping and tearing commence.
Fall Guys (PS4)
You might be getting tired of the battle royale genre, but what about a 100-player party game where you face random rounds of mini games, obstacle courses, and physics based mayhem? That's Fall Guys, and it looks like a genuine delight. You play as the titular candy-coloured creatures, and each round will eliminate a number of contestants until only a few remain for the last mad dash towards a giant crown. It looks utterly mad in the best possible way.
Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
We expected a lot from Final Fantasy VII Remake at E3 2019, and boy did Square Enix deliver. Arguably the best showing at any press conference, the Japanese publisher was not shy about presenting gameplay, giving us a full 20-minute rundown on how the combat works, complete with a full boss fight. It looks stunning, the character designs are spot on, and the gameplay itself looks better than we could have imagined. It's been a long, long wait, but somehow, against all odds, it's looking like Square Enix might just deliver on its promise.
Immortals Fenyx Rising (PS4)
We're big fans of Assassin's Creed Odyssey here at Push Square, and so when we heard that Gods & Monsters is being developed by the same core team, we couldn't help but feel some hype. This is clearly an open world aimed at a wider audience, as evidenced by the bright colours and cartoony visuals, but we got serious Breath of the Wild vibes from the reveal trailer, and given the studio's knack for crafting lush, vast locations, we simply can't wait to see more. A defined 2020 launch date should also help us manage our expectations as we roll on towards release.

FFVIIR and Cyberpunk 2077 look like they're going to be two of my favourite games of all time. They're the kind of games you see in your dreams, then wake up and realise they're not real. Or is it just me that does that?
Fingers crossed for Aeris DLC, where they change the pronunciation to the original one. 😉
@Matroska I have to agree. My only concern is how are they going to run on a standard PS4. The graphics look next gen...
So many big names up there... and so many games I can't ever see myself playing, alas.
Here's hoping they please their fans, at least.
Also, did I miss a more in-depth follow-up reveal for Gods & Monsters, or is it listed here based solely on the thirty seconds of random footage from the end of Ubisoft's conference? Because everybody sure seems excited about something we know almost nothing about.
So basically
tales.
Wacth dogs and avenger
gods and monster
That all that is new?
Er I thought all these new games were Xbox Exclusives That is the way E3 and especially Microsoft makes out they are each year. Looking forward to Watch Dogs because it should of been what SONY should of done with a The Getaway 3 :-/ Shame SONY wasting their time and money on other things(like MOVE, PSP etc) instead of making The Getaway 3. Oh well. LONDAAAAN HERE I COME!
i can't see me buying any of the titles listed here. not based on what's been shown so far anyway. nobody even seems to know exactly what kind of game marvel avengers is or how it plays. based on the description here, it sounds like a basic version of dc universe online only with marvel characters..
I can cross one game from my wanted list! I didn't expect the Avengers from Crystal Dynamics, the team behind the excellent single player reboot of Tomb Raider, would make a 4-player Live service game. As it is, there goes my interest!!!
I'll leave out the obvious 3 first party games since they're not at E3 but two of those are in my top overall most-anticipated games (Death Stranding is interesting but still haven't seen enough to get hyped). For games that were at E3 the first two in my top 5 were easy choices, more difficult after that...
1. Cyberpunk 2077
2. DOOM Eternal
3. Tales of Arise
4. Final Fantasy VII remake
5. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Honorable mention to Watch Dogs Legion
I have no issue with Avengers being a co-op live service game as long the content is worth playing for. My issue is the art direction and especially the character designs. They're just not very good, imo. Hopefully, they'll show some proper gameplay footage soon.
Hollowknight: Silksong deserves a mention on this list, it's playable at E3
Cyberpunk and Final Fantasy 7 are the big ones for me, but I'd probably also really enjoy Watch Dogs 3 and Avengers.
What is cyberpunk? Looks neat
avengers was one of the best games at e3? this list has no thought and is just checking the boxes of "biggest announcements" at e3. they barely showed any gameplay whatsoever, and what they talked about was fluff and disappointing. the leaked gameplay footage that got out yesterday looks just as bad as the game sounds on paper. after the announcement, enthusiasm seemingly disappeared online. as for shenmue 3? ah, nope
I was most interested in Avengers, Jedi: Fallen Order, and FF7 Remake.
However I am happy to see Ni no Kuni 1 coming to PS4 etc.
