[antitrop]

Hoping Until Dawn delivers on its premise. I like cheesy horror and choose your own adventure shit, just hope it's actually fun and not just dumb.

 

[benny_a]

Edit: As it has been added t othe OP no need to repeat, but I'll keep the gif because it looks fun.

 

[KN1GHTMARE]

Happy to report that Halo 5, Fallout 4, Gears of War, and Dishonored have all been preloaded. I'm waiting on MGS5 and Battlefront to be preloadable now and then I'm all set for the onslaught. I'm on the fence about Tomb Raider, Until Dawn and Rainbow 6.

 

[chadskin]

Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, Until Dawn and Volume for me, maybe Madden. Very good month.

 

[GeoramA]

Galak-Z, Rapture, Volume, and Until Dawn...phew.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I might be picking up an Xbox One for Gears.

 

[mp1990]

Eh, just Until Dawn for me. I normally like these kind of games (i'm not so sure on what genre it belongs), i loved Heavy Rain, and i like horror movies as well, so this should work out. Maybe Everybody Gones to Rapture, but tbh if i have to buy a walking sim on PS4 this month it would be Vanishing of Ethan Carther.

 

[EBE]

Rare Replay and Gears of War. Gonna be sweet.

 

[kingwingin]

Rare Replay and Gears of War. Gonna be sweet.

just gotta repeat this. Going to be one hell of a month!

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Rare Replay and Gears for me.

 

[Tenebrous]

That's it?

Rare replay looks amazing, but that aside... Ouch.

 

[R3TRO]

Good month.

I'll grab Madden, Until Dawn,Rare Replay, EGTTR, and Dishonored.

 

[RedAssedApe]

gears is already coming out? for some reason i thought it was going to be a fall release

 

[Cotrip]

Will get Everybody's gone to the Rapture. There's also Submerged for August, maybe I will buy it too.

 

[antitrop]

That's it?

Rare replay looks amazing, but that aside... Ouch.

Summer releases, what do you expect?

 

[shinobi602]

**PS4 Version**

Title: Galak-Z
Developer: 17Bit
Genre: Shoot-Em Up Roguelikethingiemajingie
Release date: August 04
Youtube trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txVsvoZMBq0

Galak-Z?

Added

 

[Apdiddy]

Just Galak-Z for me although I may get Everybody's Gone To The Rapture and Goat Simulator.

Dishonored DE is very likely for me as well and I'll wait until I see reviews/NeoGAF experience with the game for Until Dawn.

 

[Kazer]

Maybe Until Dawn, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, and Galak-Z for me!

Oh and maybe Everybody's Gone to the Rapture too.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Wow pretty good month.

One Piece for definite. Waiting to see on Until Sawn but looking forward to that one. Galak-Z, Gauntlet and Rapture look cool as well.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Getting Dishonored on Xbox One this month since I have never played the series. I might get Until Dawn too but I'll probably wait until that goes on sale.

Man 5 games coming out on August 25th ...

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Everybody's Gone To The Rapture is the only one I'm definitely buying. Need to cut down this backlog.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Rapture is next month?!

I didn't realise that.

Awesome. August redeemed.

 

[psychotron]

Rare Replay, Until Dawn, Rapture and Gears. They will be mine.

 

[Ikon]

A whole lot of nothing for me. Will get Gears once it's dropped significantly in price down the line I guess.

 

[Bsigg12]

The "calm" before the storm that is September game releases. Pretty solid month all around. Definitely getting Galak-Z, Rare Replay and probably Gears.

I still need to finish The Witcher and Batman though.

 

[delSai]

Interested in Galak-Z and Everybody's gone to the Rapture. I will wait for some impressions before deciding if i should buy or not.

 

[Caramello]

Until Dawn will probably be the only game I pick up this month.

 

[RoKKeR]

Good thread as always.

In for Rare Replay and GoW this month. Going to be sweet!

 

[Tenebrous]

Summer releases, what do you expect?

Some more small/mid-tier releases, I guess. There's still some nice stuff there, but not as much as I'd expected.

 

[ohlawd]

Just Rare Replay for me

unfortunate it comes out at the same time as Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold

 

[labaronx]

The talos principle deluxe edition for ps4 is also releasing aug 25

 

[SEGAvangelist]

A whole lot of nothing for me. Will get Gears once it's dropped significantly in price down the line I guess.

You can probably get a cheap used code from the bundles that will be available.

 

[Elitist1945]

I need Until Dawn ASAP. Looks sooooooo good.

 

[drotahorror]

Awesome month. Every month from august til november is crazy. Maybe december will be great too, no idea what's coming out then.

 

[Turkoop]

Raputre, Until Dawn and maybe Submerged

 

[Tohsaka]

Galak-Z, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Volume, Until Dawn, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 and possibly SAO for me. Solid month overall.

 

[Rain City Gamer]

Submerged

Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Vita Version)
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/07/23/resident-evil-revelations-2-coming-to-ps-vita-august-18th/

Edit: you added Submerged

 

[Ape]

What's your reasoning behind putting *Exclusive* in every title except Dishonored's? Just for uniformity I'd put "Xbox One/PS4" Exclusive.

 

[DannyDanger]

Hopping on that One Piece pw3 for sure

 

[salromano]

Galak-Z should say PS4 and PC exclusive, no?

And Volume is also on Vita. =)

 

[watdaeff4]

Everybody has gone to the Rapture and Gears of War are already preordered here.

 

[dan2026]

Summer releases, what do you expect?

Why is there less games in the summer?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Until dawn,rare replay,gow and everybody gone to rapture all for me.

 

[kiguel182]

Volume is next month? I had no idea. Game has been really under the radar since it was shown for the first time.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Why is there less games in the summer?

Because you need a break and should go outside

Spoiler

/s

 

[Guymelef]

Europe will get this.

 

[LinkMaster111]

Looks like I'll be picking up Rare Replay and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture most likely.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Life is strange ep 4, gears of war, rare replay,until dawn, and dishonored

 

[dan2026]

Because you need a break and should go outside /s

Ridiculous there are no video games outside.
