Answer (1 of 5): I don’t know of many, as I don’t have a PS4, but check out Planetside 2. It is an amazing concept and is lots of fun. It is the definition of a Massively Multiplayer Online shooter. It has several servers, each with multiple continents. Each continent supports up to 2000 ...

r/ShouldIbuythisgame on Reddit: [PS4] Recommendations for Co-op/Multiplayer games with girlfriend who has never gamed before.
August 9, 2022 -

Hey guys, was wondering if you all had any recommendations for games on the PlayStation 4 that would be good to try out with my girlfriend. Preferably some Co-op or multiplayer games but any suggestions are welcome!

I was thinking easy to play platformers or just all around goofy games. She has no experience playing any videogames but showed interest to try it out. Turns out I find it rather hard to think of fun games to play so fire away!

Edit: I was thinking of It Takes Two, is this beginner friendly as she probably has no idea how to use a controller yet.

Edit 2: Thank you so much everyone for the suggestions! We ended up playing It Takes Two a bit and she really enjoyed it, the story (so far) and the atmosphere was great she said. As some people rightly noted the right joystick for aiming and camera control was a bit difficult for her so keep that in mind if anyone stumbles on this thread.

Definitely will give some of the other games suggested a try with her like Overcooked, Sack Boy and hopefully eventually move on to things like D3, Rocket League etc!

What are some multiplayer PS4 games that are good to play with friends?(Without PS Plus)? - Quora
Answer (1 of 4): Any of the Free-To-Play offerings. Warframe is an excellent game to play for 1–4 people. It’s got a lot of progression and it’s way less grindy than it once was. Loadout is an excellent over-the-shoulder arena shooter with an innovative weapon crafting system.

r/PS4 - What are the best multiplayer games for PS4?
November 24, 2014 -

Hi,

We are going to buy a second PS4 Pro for my girlfriend during May and I would like to ask you to recommend me some multiplayer games we can play together.

We have Destiny 2 with season pass to start with so this will hopefully give us some time to spent together.

We would like to play something similar where you can level up and progress with your character, we are not very interesting in PVP only games.

Any suggestions guys? Many thanks.

An FPSMMO game set on a dystopian world where people fight over dwindling resources using mechs.An FPSMMO game set on a dystopian world where people fight over dwindling resources using mechs.No PS+ subscription required: Most PS4 games with multiplayer modes require an additional subscription called Playstation Plus. However, free games that have online multiplayer don't generally need PS+ to play online, which is a much welcomed feature for players who can't fork out money for this subscription. | Encourages teamplay: In a genre saturated with lone wolf games like Call of Duty, it's nice to have a game like Hawken which makes teamwork a necessity. You'll immediately notice how disadvantageous 1v2 battles are, so you'll always look to cooperate with your teammates. From things like providing covering fire to defending each other when repairing mechs, it feels nice when you can rely on your teammates on a regular basis. | Almost completely free: In Hawken, almost everything can be bought with in-game currency. Unlike most free to play games this even includes items such as cosmetic changes. While you may have to do a bit of grinding, this game can be fully played without spending a dime. | Fast-paced and fun action: Hawken breaks the idea that large heavy mechs equate to slow movement. You'll instead move at a brisk pace, constantly firing your machine guns and launching rockets at the enemy. The mechs are also equipped with jump-jets, allowing you to make very swift evasive maneuvers and hover above the battlefield, so it has a 3D tactics aspect unlike most FPS games. All of this makes the action really enjoyable. | Great sense of immersion: Hawken does an excellent job of making you feel like you really are in the mech. From the vibrations on the glass when you're firing off a salvo of missiles to the swaying of the cockpit when you're stomping your way through a destroyed city, there are many details that considerably add to the immersion. | Lack of story is a missed opportunity: A current trend in online gaming is that many games do not offer a single player campaign or any means to tell a story. Sadly Hawken continues this trend as it does very little to expand on its interesting setting, which is very disappointing.

Warframe is a free to play sci-fi third-person co-op action shooter. A very cinematic shooter that also has a very original look. The gameplay is fast and consists of gunplay and melee brawls, allowing for a great selection of playstyles and maneuvers.Warframe is a free to play sci-fi third-person co-op action shooter. A very cinematic shooter that also has a very original look. The gameplay is fast and consists of gunplay and melee brawls, allowing for a great selection of playstyles and maneuvers.Fast-paced, space ninja action: Warframes are essentially space ninjas that can move incredibly fast. Just running won't be enough, so you'll have to build momentum by sliding, jumping, and rolling. Each of these moves also help you dodge enemy attacks, while allowing you to attack. It takes a while to get used to the fast pace, but when you do, it feels incredibly satisfying. | You can choose your own play style: In Warframe, there are tons of weapons, both ranged and melee, that will let you fight however you like. Maybe you want to be a long-range sniper, or a massive melee beast with a huge hammer, or maybe you want to stick closer to the ninja tradition and use a sword and a bow. Whatever you prefer to play, Warframe has an option. | A huge array of weaponry: Warframe boasts over 300 weapons, split into 3 classes: Primary, Secondary, and Melee. Primary weapons are the big guns such as assault rifles, shotguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondary weapons are the sidearms, usually handguns, machine pistols, and thrown weapons. The melee weapons consist of swords (even katanas), hammers, fist weapons, scythes, and others. · Most of the weapons have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. For example, the Simulor is a weapon which creates small balls similar to black holes, which pull in and kill enemies. Unfortunately, the range is very short, so you'll have to predict enemy movements and place the shots carefully. Another example is the Zarr, a massive canon, which has two firing modes, allowing you to use it as a canon or a shotgun. The downside is that you'll get damaged by your own explosions, so you have to always keep distance. · The weapons can also be upgraded, adding various elemental damage types such as radiation or corrosion. You can also improve other stats such as rate of fire, crit or reload speed. | Great selection of classes: In Warframe, you're able to play as one of the many Warframes, which are essentially character classes. You start off by choosing one of the three basic frames. Excalibur who specializes in swords and has an ability to equip an energy sword and shoot beams of energy. Volt who uses electricity to boost his damage, movement speed and attack speed. Or Mag, a frame specializing in magnetism and controlling the enemy. After that you can run missions to find plans for new ones, or purchase them with platinum (the real-money currency). · There are currently more than 30 basic Warframes and their "Prime" variants, which are superior versions of the basic frames. | Great contact physics: Many online titles and MMOs feature combat with poor contact physics, so it often feels like you're not actually hitting the enemies. In Warframe, hitting an enemy with a hammer will make them fly and sliding at their legs will make them trip. This makes it feel more like a single player game than an online co-op game. · | Crafting new equipment takes really long: The crafting system in Warframe involves very long wait times, varying from 12 to 72 hours. The wait times can be be skipped by paying platinum (bought in the in-game store with real money), but most of the time it's not worth it. | New content is poorly optimized: Warframe was released in 2012 and has received a lot of improvements over the years. This includes updating the old tilesets with new textures, which has caused a lot of performance drops. The prime example would be the Earth tileset update, which caused performance drops and made it unplayable to a lot of people, even though they could play normally before it. | Can get repetitive easily: At the very core, Warframe is a game that needs a lot of grinding. You'll always be grinding for new blueprints, relics, materials, credits or just leveling your existing equipment. After a while some of the mission types such as defense (where you fend of waves of enemies), will get really boring. Then it turns out the blueprint or relic is really rare and you'll probably have to repeat that mission about a hundred more times. Coupled with the fact that there's no real progression outside the Mastery Rank, some players may quickly lose interest. | jacob

r/PS4 on Reddit: Looking for couch multiplayer games to play with my relative
January 10, 2022 -

Hi all, I haven't played console in many years so I have no idea what the good games are nowadays. My relative owns a PS4 and they've been wanting to play, so I thought I'd buy a game for us.

I am looking for:

  • PS4

  • local multiplayer (split screen or games where we are both on the screen e.g. FIFA, fighting games, etc.)

  • any genre
