PS4 Mixture Trivia

1. Which studio is behind the development of 2015's "The Order: 1886"?

From Quiz PlayStation 4 Exclusives

Answer: Ready at Dawn

"The Order: 1886" is one of those games that's so cinematic in its style that you don't know when a cutscene has finished and you're able to play again. The way this was pulled off, though, has divided opinion. For starters, a fixed framerate certainly gives it a feel more akin to watching a film, but the letterboxing of the screen does somewhat detract from the gameplay, particularly when some encounters require quick reflexes and not all of the screen is being used to its fullest. Concern was also raised about the amount of actual gameplay in between cutscenes and quick-time events. Regardless, this quasi-Victorian, werewolf-overrun, alternate version of the titular year of 1886 is one which again emphasises the uniqueness of some of the PlayStation 4's exclusives.

Answer: Multiplayer first-person shooter game

"Overwatch" is commonly referred to as a 'hero shooter' in which two teams of six players select a hero from 30 characters that have unique abilities and attributes. Typically selecting characters that complement each other optimizes a team's chance of winning but oftentimes players would simply select their favorite characters. Blizzard Entertainment developed "Overwatch" and it became their fourth major video game franchise.

Answer: No Man's Sky

According to the game's developers, the universe of "No Man's Sky" included more than 18 quintillion planets each with their own ecosystem of flora and fauna. "No Man's Sky" did very well with pre-order sales but received a lot of negative publicity from players that felt the game's developers misrepresented many of the game's features and did not deliver on others such as a multiplayer mode. In the three years after its initial release the developers added free content to the game to address some of these concerns.

Answer: Ratchet & Clank

"Ratchet & Clank" takes a bit of artistic license with the series' history and creates a new origin story for two of Sony's best-loved video game characters, though by no means constitutes a reboot of the series (Insomniac Games has stated this is not a reboot but a tie-in to the animated film of the story, hence "the game based on the movie based on the game"). Nonetheless, many elements of the original PlayStation 2 game are there (almost all planets and locations, a few classic weapons, more or less the same cast of characters) as well as bits and pieces from the games that came after it (such as the antagonist Dr Nefarious, whose first appearance in the series wasn't until two games after the original). The games have never disappointed on a visual level, and it's clear that "Ratchet & Clank" uses every bit of the PlayStation 4's power available to create one of the most visually-stunning games to ever grace a home console.

Through the first two years of its release "Horizon Zero Dawn" had sold more than 10 million copies.

Answer: Driveclub

The marketing campaign behind "Driveclub" garnered some significant interest in the months leading up to its release. In the absence of a "Gran Turismo" game (a series considered to be the benchmark for racing games), "Driveclub" was shaping up to be a solid competitor (which was even more significant as both it and the "Gran Turismo" series are PlayStation-exclusive). The game's premise is one which blurs the line between racing realism and social connectivity. Its scope was such that it was inevitable that there would be a delay from the original projected release in late 2013, after the PlayStation 4 had hit the market. Around a year and a half after announcement, "Driveclub" finally got past its issues in development and released in October 2014, only to be hit with some new ones once players were in and racing (the primary reason being unreliable online play). A free, bite-sized version of the game for PlayStation Plus subscribers, originally planned for release alongside the main game but was delayed until June 2015, only to be removed from the PlayStation Store mere months later.

Answer: MLB The Show 17

The game was lauded for its realistic appearance, presentation and commentary but it was hampered by technical issues at launch that impacted online gameplay.

Answer: Bloodborne

The unexpected popularity of FromSoftware's "Demon's Souls" (2009) led to the "Dark Souls" games, that were received with equally open arms and praise, injecting some actual difficulty into a generation of games that some argued were becoming easier and pandering more to the casual player. After the first two "Dark Souls" games in 2011 and 2014, both of which were multi-platform releases, "Bloodborne", again in a similar vein to its forebears, caused a bit of stir when it was announced as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. "Bloodborne" was intended to be incredibly detailed, more than was capable of the seventh generation consoles, so it was always destined for their successors. It was Sony's promptness in providing FromSoftware with development kits and the PlayStation 4's power to fully realise the Gothic setting that befitted the game that led to its exclusivity.

Answer: Uncharted

Despite being one of the PlayStation 4's most anticipated games, the early stages of development of "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" were a little bit rocky for developer Naughty Dog. The series' long-running creative designer Amy Hennig and director of the previous two games Justin Richmond left the studio several months into development. Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann, the driving forces behind Naughty Dog's terrific "The Last of Us" (2013), were brought on board and almost completely overhauled all existing development work on the game as they steered it in a new direction. From there, it was relatively smooth sailing (bar a few delays) until the worldwide release in May 2016. And that was it. The end of an era had arrived. "A Thief's End" release to rave reviews and well-deserved critical acclaim, sending the series out on a high.

Answer: Hitman

The 2016 'Hitman' game is set seven years after the events of the game 'Hitman: Absolution', although it does include an introductory section that is a prequel to the entire series. 'Hitman' is a third person stealth shooter game in which players play as the assassin Agent 47, a genetically altered superhuman.

Answer: PlayStation Vita

Given the creativity of their "LittleBigPlanet" games, it was no surprise that Media Molecule's "Tearaway" (2013) was similar in style. Initially released on the PS Vita, the game was later reworked and enhanced for the PlayStation 4. "Tearaway Unfolded", like its forebear, takes place in an adorable world made entirely of paper, with the player taking control of a messenger with an important message to deliver. Elements of the environment can be manipulated by use of the controller's touch pad and motion sensors. Some tasks require creating paper designs for decoration or for opening new areas, a feat which is again accomplished by drawing with a finger on the touch pad. Though it was warmly received, some felt it was unnecessary to remake one of the Vita's saving graces and that it removed some of the personality that the former had (like using the Vita's camera to take pictures for use in the game).

Answer: New York City

Similar to the majority of the "Spider-Man" comics, "Marvel's Spiderman" for the PS4 was set in New York City. The game was developed by Insomniac Games and it was praised by critics for its recreation of the major sites of New York and how both Peter Parker and Spider-Man are able to navigate it.

Answer: Shadow Fall

Continuing the "Killzone" series' futuristic shooter theme but departing slightly from the more linear level design seen previously, "Killzone Shadow Fall" takes place some thirty years after the last game, with the Helghast and Vekta still at each other's throats, particularly after the destruction of the Helghast's home planet by the Vekta and the subsequent colonisation of its survivors on the Vekta's planet. As tensions between the two races grow ever more bitter and bloody and the threat of biological warfare looms, players are thrust right into the action and have to find a way to stop all hell from breaking loose. As impressive to look at as it is to play, "Killzone Shadow Fall" set a decent bar for further PlayStation 4 FPSs to reach, particularly for a launch title.

The main character, and the one that players play as, is Takkar, a member of the Wenja tribe who is cut off after an ambush with a sabre-toothed cat. The game follows Takkar as he gets stronger and forms his own tribe.

Answer: Kingdom Hearts III

"Kingdom Hearts III" was initially released for both the PS4 and XBox One and it sold more than five million copies within a week of its release. Luckily for the protagonist Sora assistance is provided by Donald Duck, Goofy, King Mickey and Riku on a journey to locate the seven guardians of light. The game introduced a new feature to the series called 'Attraction Flow' in which rides like the Mad Tea Party help summon attacks.

Answer: InFamous

With Cole McGrath's story more or less wrapped up in the PlayStation 3 games "InFamous" (2009) and "InFamous 2" (2011), "Infamous: Second Son" shifts to a new protagonist and a new location, making dazzling use of the PlayStation 4's increased specs over its predecessor. The result is a remarkably pretty recreation of Seattle, in which our hero (or villain, if you prefer) Delsin Rowe can run around in and use multiple types of powers (in contrast to Cole McGrath's ability to control only electricity). Across the game, Delsin is able to use smoke, neon, video and concrete powers against the malevolent Brooke Augustine and the Department of Unified Protection, who want to capture all those who are "conduits" that can wield and manipulate these powers.

Answer: 1993

The original 'Doom' game was released in 1993 for MS-DOS computers. The game is a first-person shooter which pits the playable character, a space marine, against a horde of demons and undead creatures. In the rebooted 'Doom' for PS4 the player is still a space marine and is tasked to deal with creatures from Hell that have been released into a colonised planet Mars.

Answer: Freelancers

The action of "Anthem" takes place on an unnamed planet in which humanity resides behind walls that somewhat protect them from the dangers beyond. The world's technology is powered by a source known as the 'Anthem of Creation' that unfortunately also caused other threats. The game begins with players in control of an unnamed Freelancer who loses nearly all of his army mates. "Anthem" was criticized by many players for its grinding/repetitive gameplay and buggy nature.

From Quiz PlayStation 4 Exclusives

Answer: Mark Cerny

Japan Studio, one of Sony's first party developers with games like "Legend of Dragoon" (2000), "LocoRoco" (2006) and "Puppeteer" (2013) to their name, joined forces with Mark Cerny, one of the industry's leading figures and the man Sony got in to lead the development of the PlayStation 4, to create the Pixar-like beat-em-up "Knack". Knack is the central character made of block-like objects called relics, and can absorb or shed them as a means of becoming bigger or smaller. Obviously, the more relics that Knack is able to soak up from breaking open crates or siphoning them from the environment, the bigger he'll be and the harder he'll hit. Surprisingly, given how it looks and its kid-friendly appeal, "Knack" can be quite punishing at times, particularly when replayed on higher difficulties for those precious trophies. Nonetheless, it is a fun and great-looking platformer and one which hopefully served to whet the appetite of gamers and give them an early taste of what the PlayStation 4 is capable of.
