Are there any recent games with monster trucks? My three year old loves monster trucks and racing games and I can't find any games made in the last couple years that feature monster trucks.

There was a sort of Micro Machines racer that was free for PS+ a few months ago, IIRC it was a fun Mario Kart clone and I think it had a bunch of nonstandard cars like monster trucks.

EXCITE TRUCK

I guess it's not actually monster trucks but the game's general demeanor seems to kinda "fit" monster truckin'

I was actually gonna suggest that. They aren't monster trucks, but they do monster truck-style things, like big jumps off dirt ramps.

good point. The answer to the question is "No. There are no recent games featuring monster trucks".

Although, I did see a preview for a movie, which might have been an alcohol induced fever dream, called "Monster Trucks". It was about a literall monster that lived the protagonists's truck bod and replaced his engine and spun the axles with it's tentacles. I'm pretty sure it was a real movie, but what the gently caress how.

Let me find a trailer.

Do things that aren't out yet count at "recent?"

I guess it's early access...

"No. There are no recently completed games featuring monster trucks."

I wonder if United Front games would be doing better if they had made Sleeping Dogs 2 like everyone wanted instead of whatever Triad Wars was supposed to be

SquareEnix owns the Sleeping Dogs IP, they're the ones who made them do Triad Wars.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys. Bummed out that there's nothing that is specifically Monster Trucks, but he has apparently settled on euro truck simulator 2

I received a cash injection from my wonderful grandparents for my birthday, and I thought to myself, "Now I can finally buy a Bloodborne machine!"

But let's be serious: is that game really worth $400? Could someone name, say, three other PS4 exclusives that might give me more confidence in this purchase?

Exclusive exclusives? No. Do you have a gaming pc or xbox one?

There are lots of good games though.

Bloodborne is the best game I've played in years, but I dunno whether it's worth that much money to anyone. Other good exclusives, Uncharted 4, Until Dawn, The Last of Us if you never played it on PS3, Dragon Quest Builders (assuming you don't have a Vita), Alienation and the other Housemarque game I've forgotten the name of, ummmm, Gravity Rush and hopefully 2.

I guess Uncharted 4 is the other big one. There's the Last of Us if you haven't played that yet. (And the Uncharted collection) Until Dawn might be a neat halloween game. Persona 5/Yakuza 0 are both out next year if you're into either of those. King of Fighters XIV is still PS4 exclusive I think if you like fighting games. I've been playing a lot of Dragon Quest Builders which is PS4/Vita. Infamous is ok. Crash Bandicoot/FF7 remasters will be out in ????

I get a lot of mileage out of my PS4 since I don't have a good PC so I play all the multiplatform stuff on console

the 1050ti is gonna be $139 so I might get that to replace my radeon 7850, even as a low-end card i feel like it's a good enough upgrade for what's a really cheap price

my 7850 cant even handle the new ding dang DOOM

The Uncharted Collection is great, and Uncharted 4 is a wonderful game that's like 4 hours too long. Killzone Shadow Fall is real good too.

Those three exclusives are: Bloodborne, Bloodborne, :bloodborne: !!!!!

But being more serious, the PS+ free games are actually pretty rad and you end up building a ginormous library after a while. The Uncharted trilogy and Last of Us remastered are really good too. You could probably save yourself a hundred bucks by skipping the Pro at this point, though it's yet to be seen how much of an improvement that'll be for existing games and the like.

e: Killzone SF is totally worth $12, by the way. So is The Order: 1886, but neither of them is really an "OMG MUST PLAY NOW" kind of experience. Pretty tho.

does anyone know if pro upgrades will improve framerates or something. I'm fine with plain old HD resolution if i could play bloodbourne etc with stable fps.
