Watch_Dogs
What happens when you stitch together Assasin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, and Mirror's Edge?
? You get Watch_Dogs, an open world game that gives players the ability to interact with a near-future city's electronics with touch of a smart phone button. Control traffic lights, hack ever-present surveillance cameras, blow up fuse boxes and more to accomplish missions around the city.
Without a doubt, Watch_Dogs is the most anticipated PlayStation 4 launch title. UbiSoft has proven themselves as a studio capable of releasing Triple A titles on a tight schedule. By taking the ubiquity of social media and government profiling and turning it into a socially conscious action game, Ubi is looking to raise the bar when it comes to immersive storytelling in an action game.
Watch_Dogs will also be available for the PS3 and 360, but expect the definitive versions to be next gen.

One of the most buzzed about games in recent memory, The Witness is a modern day Myst which is sure to feature Blow's unique approach to puzzle solving and cryptic storytelling.
What makes The Witness launching as a PS4 game so notable is Blow's longstanding feud with Microsoft over how Braid was handled on the Xbox Arcade service. By aligning himself with the PS4, blow has signaled that small developers have a friend in Sony.
