I've got a question, may be stupid, but anyway, i'm wondering if I log into my steam account on the ps4, can I run those games using the ps4 controllers, or do I need to get a Bluetooth/usb keyboard/mouse combo or will it not work at all????

You do realize that they're completely different platforms right? One can't run the other's games. Steam is ONLY for PC. You wouldn't even be able to install the Steam games let alone play them on the PS4.

No you cant. Both are completely 2 different systems. The only reason why PSN has Steam is because that Portal 2 console copy actually gives you a PC copy of the game. If im not wrong also have cross platform coop.

You can use the PS3/4 controller on the PC. Need software as it is not natively supported like the Xbox 360 controller.

If you have Steam (PC) and PS4, and the same games are available on each platform, it is better to get the PC version as it is cheaper than PS4. Especially with the sales. Also, you can game anywhere with steam, save progress and continue. Just make sure the pc/laptop can support. With the PS4, you need to bring it along, also need a TV. Not as portable as laptop.
