Top 5 PS4 Exclusives: inFamous: Second Son, The Order: 1886, DriveClub, Deep Down and Uncharted 4
For those who are still waiting for their PS4 consoles or those who already have them and are now looking for new games to play on it, Sony's lineup for the PS4 serves as the hope in the horizon to enjoy the next-gen console.
Used to be, in the battle of better games, Microsoft had the upper hand with timed exclusives for the Xbox 360. But this time, Sony has exerted its need to focus on and feature a diverse range of games, hence the almost equal population of mainstream AAA titles and indie games for the PS4.
This 2014, there are a number of awaited videogames that will be debuting or featuring more details leading to its release. Here are the top five PS4 exclusives that you should be on the lookout for.
Uncharted 4
Announced as a last-minute addition to the PS4 from Naughty Dog, 2013 ended with the developer promising gamers more reveal details for Uncharted 4 come 2014.
Despite the promise, there are still no news on what to expect for Uncharted 4. All fans know about is the trailer that was showcased, and even that has only had speculated decoding such as with Escapist Magazine, which involves pirates in Libertalia.
The biggest mystery of the game is the fact that there doesn't seem to be any hints that Nathan Drake will be returning, since the voice that can be heard in the teaser trailer has nothing to do with the character. However, Softpedia did mention once that PlayStation Russia has confirmed that the PS4 exclusive will feature Nathan Drake.
"We would like to share some important news with you, first trailer of Uncharted on PS4 has been released. Where do you think Nathan Drake's fate will take him this time?" according to a post spotted by a NeoGAF user.

inFamous: Second Son
March 21st is a date to remember, as it will be the release date of inFamous: Second Son, the PS4 exclusive that boasts a new kind of open-world action.
The CES 2014 witnessed a new hands-on gameplay of the game, which SlashGear reports to be an experience that's like an alternate of Saint's Row 4 from 2013. inFamous: Second Son puts you in the shoes of Deslin Rowe who has a number of special powers with the entire world in front of you to move in.
In fact, the reports states that it comes close to GTA 5 in terms of exploring the environment and what you can do in it. What's more, GameRant adds that skateboard games are just one of the influences of inFamous: Second Son, which gives that extra adrenaline rush in the atmosphere.

DriveClub
One of the PS4 titles that have missed its launch date, DriveClub has been pushed back with its release date to the disappointment of fans.
However, if the latest developments are to be believed, there is now an ESRB rating for the game, which the Official PlayStation Magazine reports to be "E for everyone" rating for the racing simulation game. The good thing about this rating is that there may be movement for the game, more than just it being tagged as delayed.
Aside from the rating and as a potentially more concrete way of saying that DriveClub is coming real soon, OTL Gaming has spotted an Amazon leak of DriveClub, priced at $59.96 and set to release on April 1, 2014. While speculations of an April Fools trick has circulated, some have also stated that this could be a placeholder date, putting the release in three months' time.
Deep Down
It could be the promise of a unique environment, the dungeons, the villains, or even the promise of magic but Deep Down seems to be one of those RPG PS4 exclusives that gamers are certainly watching out for,
A product of Capcom, Deep Down has already received a trailer from before, which is available below. The latest news about the title is that it will take randomisation of levels and dungeons to a whole new high, as Tech 2 reports that there will be infinite looks for the dungeons.
Recently, VG 24/7 obtained a number of screenshots featuring the enemies, one of which is Jackie, which is a treasure chest that has sprouted legs, arms, and huge, sharp teeth.
