15 PlayStation 4 Co-Op Games You NEED To Be Playing

The more probable idea is to split the game into episodes, similar to what was done with Starcraft II over its long development and release. Alternatively, the game could go the route of World of Warcraft , which is to say that Blizzard could release expansions more frequently, perhaps every year or so. These would provide not only a small amount of new content, but also an all-important level cap increase to gate progression for existing players unless they buy in.

Following the disastrous announcement of Diablo 4 news: Immortal at BlizzCon 2018, players were somewhat relieved to learn that Diablo 4 is finally in development. Recently here at TheGamer, we discussed how the failure of the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) was a catalyst that shifted how Diablo 3 was developed, and subsequently abandoned long before its original vision was fulfilled. This included the cancellation of a second expansion called The King of the North, and the rumor of a cancelled Druid class.

While fans of the series are probably happy to hear that the next sequel is in the works, taking a good, hard look at how Blizzard has monetized its games for the long-term leaves little doubt that Diablo 4 will be anything but a constant cash grab. This is not pessimism towards the company or the series, but instead, an objective consideration of Blizzard’s other games, and how their games-as-a-service design manage to pull in revenue in a way that Diablo 3 could not.

This writer does not agree or appreciate the notion of any of the above ideas for how to monetize Diablo 4 in the long term, but it is absolutely in line with how Blizzard treats all their games. Seeing how successful Hearthstone, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft are, consumers have clearly accepted this as the status quo.


Borderlands 2 is well-known for its plethora of pop culture references and easter eggs. Some of the humor in Borderlands 2 still holds up, mainly in part to the incredible villain of Handsome Jack. However, many other moments feel like a portal back into 2012 with somewhat dated references to memes and pop culture that is far older than a decade. However, one immortal attribute that everyone loves is Minecra

World of Warcraft is in a unique position to have a monthly subscription still serve as a viable model after failing so many other MMOs. Their expansions also demand purchase and serves to literally gate characters in old content and ten levels lower.


Diablo 's world of Sanctuary has a lot of promise. There's a depth to it that is ever hinted at, and in particular the atmosphere of Diablo 2 created this sense of a much greater universe outside of what the player saw. It's a series with some strong lore behind it, but it's fair to say that the franchise has never quite reached the heights of great storytell


The statue is alive. Held together by chains and metals, the heart of the statue beats slowly, and Nico Belic can do nothing but watch this dark secret. It’s certainly creepy to see a heart larger than a car, and even creepier still that it lies within the iconic Liberty City statue. Yet, it’s just one of many unexplained and mysterious easter eggs in Grand Theft Auto

When Diablo 3 launched, the RMAH would have meant that players would always be buying and selling items, with Blizzard taking a constant cut of the cash. With that failure out the door, we need to consider how else Diablo 4 could bring in revenue at a pace that would keep its development assured. One option is another RMAH, but that would imply Blizzard has learned nothing from the first attempt. Unlikely, but we should not count it out completely.


It's not just modern advancements that could make Diablo 4 a bastion of accessibility, either. Diablo 4 should resist the temptation of always-online, for instance, to maintain a flexibility for those who would like offline play. Essentially, letting players choose how they want to play could go a long way for Blizz


The co-op movement was probably at its peak during the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox era only to take a sharp downturn despite each passing generation boasting even more power than the last. With the ability to achieve 60 FPS gaming on consoles, some titles are forcing players to own multiple pieces of hardware in order to play under the same roof as things like PS2 multi-taps are a thing of the p


Besides the standard PvP modes that pit players against opposing teams on massive maps, the Garden Ops mode is the highlight of the game. Players can team up with friends and choose from an array of different plant characters in a Firefight-esque game mode that throws waves of zombies at them. There’s an inherent sense of setting a high score and making it to the furthest wave possible as teammates set up traps and defenses to protect their gar


Batman: Arkham Asylum was a marvel for DC fans, and even for those new to the Batman mythos. Batman: Arkham Asylum featured the Caped Crusader with his iconic Rogues Gallery, locked in Arkham Asylum as he fights his way out through the very criminals he put away. A sequel was bound to happen, but plans for Batman: Arkham City were actually well underway before it was even announced, and proof of that can be found in the Warden’s Off
