If the game servers or the internet are down then the game will not work correctly. In short, this game will most likely not be functional outisde of this console gen as game servers are taken down due to games getting older.

Disc-based Titles

Title	Genre	A-On	Description
Alien: Isolation	Survival Horror	No	Survive in a ship full of hostile aliens, malfunctioning androids, and paranoid crew mates out to kill everything that moves. Actually has decent AI unlike the other Aliens game on this platform, so don't get the two mixed up!
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag	Action-Adventure	Yes	Pirates... and assassins! Come for the murderboating, stay for the colorful characters and the ability to explore more than ever before. Yes, you can swim this time! Beware of sharks.
Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition	Action RPG	Yes	If you can stomach the DRM and always online gameplay with it's many restrictions that hit even single player campaigns, it's more diablo with updated graphics. Just don't expect to be able to use colorful names or personalized hacks or to be able to play at all if their network is having issues. This title was infamous for being non-functional for a few months after release due to server errors and will most likely be 100% unplayable once the servers are down for good, so enjoy it while you can.
Far Cry 4	FPS/Action-Adventure	No	Go to Nepal. Ride elephants. Kill tigers. Shoot colorful enemies and restore temples. Have fun!
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn	MMORPG	Yes	Significantly better than FFXIV's first outing, which was absolutely terrible. Squeenix listened to all the complaints and criticisms, and more-or-less created the game people actually wanted (a WoW clone). The combat system is a little tired (press button to use skill/spell, and make sure to move out of the way of attacks), however the dungeons are superb, as is the overworld, art, graphics, and music. It also has selling/auctioning items, player to player interaction, forming parties and 'companies' (guilds), and has a decent storyline to boot. It has had a few issues going out, but they've been patching regularly to fix anything the community generally complains about. Overall, a decent MMO with a fantastic setting.
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-	Fighting	Yes	Fight colorful characters with other colorful characters in lovely 3D-as-2D art design levels. No plot, but who cares?
Grand Theft Auto V	Action / Adventure / Open World	Yes	The sprawling sun-soaked metropolis of Los Santos is chock full of self-help coaches, starlets and C-List celebrities, once on top of the media world, now struggling to stay relevant in time of economic malaise and lowest-common-denominator reality TV. Amidst this madness, three unique criminals plan their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street-level hustler in search of opportunities for serious money; Michael, an ex-con whose "retirement" is a less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent dude driven by the chance for a quick high and the next big score. Nearly out of options, the crew risks it all in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life - one way or the other.
inFAMOUS: Second Son	Action / Adventure / Open World	No	inFAMOUS Second Son is an action adventure game in which, surrounded by a society that fears them, superhumans are ruthlessly hunted down and caged by the Department of Unified Protection. Step into a locked-down Seattle as Delsin Rowe, who has recently discovered his superhuman power and is now capable of fighting back against the oppressive DUP. Enjoy your power as you choose how you will push your awesome abilities to the limit and witness the consequences of your actions as they affect the city and people around you.
Injustice: Gods Among Us - Ultimate Edition	Fighting	No	Lay the virtual smackdown on some of your favorite DC comic heroes and villians. Raven vs Cyborg? Batman vs Superman? Aquaman vs Captain Marvel (Shazaam)? Go for it! Also has a story mode that doubles as a tutorial to help players learn the ins and outs of this fighter as well as a challenge mode with tricky combat for the vets.
The Last of Us Remastered	Action / Adventure / Survival	No	Twenty years after a pandemic radically transformed known civilization, infected humans run amuck and survivors kill one another for sustenance and weapons - literally whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a salty survivor, is hired to smuggle a fourteen-year-old girl, Ellie, out of a rough military quarantine, but what begins as a simple job quickly turns into a brutal journey across the country.
Metro Redux	FPS/Survival Horror	No	Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light brought together into one beautifully remastered game. Living in a radioactive Russsian hellhole has never been so pretty!
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor	Action RPG	No	A complex and beautiful RPG for people who just ant get enough lord of the Rings or who want a challege without the game being a Japanese import starring pretty big-haired teenagers.
Rayman Legends	Platformer	No	The classic platforming legend Rayman is back with hard levels and fun, fast gameplay!
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition	Action-Adventure	No	This is what True Crime should have been (and what it started out as until it was sold to Squeenix). Work your way up the Sun On Yee hierarchy by beating up triads and making Wei look pretty.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition	Action-Adventure	No	Tired of tittievision and want some meat with your heroines? Join young Laura Croft back when she was just a normal college student and not an amazing explorer on an adventure with her adopted father and unreavel an Asian-flavored mystery on a dangerous island. This game was heavily praised for it's use of character development and richly detailed maps.
The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series - The Complete First Season	Graphic Adventure	No	Come for the zombies, stay for innocent little Clemetine. Manly tears will be shed! Warning: this is pretty much a Visual Novel with some hunt and click mechanics added in, so don't expect high action even if the plot largely makes up for it.
The Walking Dead: Season Two - A Telltale Game Series	Adventure	No	Part two of the series plays like part one while finishing out Clementine's story. Some have said it lacks the emotional punch of part one due to having too many characters, but others are just happy to see what happenes to our little girl.
The Wolf Among Us - A Telltale Game Series	Adventure	No	Sick of zombeis but want more Visual Novel style gameplay? You're in the right place. In Fabletown all of our myths and legends are real people with real problems. In fact, someone just got murdered... the first someone in hundreds of years. As Sheriff Bigsby Wolfe (aka "The Big Bad Wolf") it's up to you to find the killer and put an end to this before Fabletown tears itself apart. Not as Furry as it sounds.
Wolfenstein: The New Order	FPS	No	Nazis dropped the Bomb, won the War, and enslaved the Earth. The legendary BJ Blazkowicz awakens from a 13 year long coma and must rekindle the fight against the unstoppable Third Reich. A throwback to the series' fast and frantic roots with fantastic art design and surprisingly good storytelling and character development.

PSN Titles

Cover	Title	Genre	Description
	Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Director's Cut	Platformer	A little girl has to go through the world of dreams and kick some serious owl butt to rescue her sister. A great game, sequel of one of the most fondly remembered games from the 1980s European computer scene. Includes the "Rise of the Owlverlord" expansion.
	Resogun	Shoot 'Em Up	From the makers of the Super Stardust games comes this stunningly beautiful shoot 'em up. Classic arcade space shooter action meets the graphics of the modern age. If you're a fan of shmups, this is your first treat from the eighth generation, and it doesn't dissapoint, although veterans may find it a bit easy, and also short (five levels).
