Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Only saying this based on what I have seen in videos of online gameplay. I don't think KZ will compete with BF4 online, but I would pick it over CoD online.

KZ offers a different taste. B4 played like B3 for me and I had battlefield fatgiue(been playing since BFBC) So I decided to go with kill zone. Call of duty was never really my thing. If KZ plays anything like Resistance 2 online, 'll be happy. that was a fun game to play, I think it had like 50 players on one map before they reduced it. it was crazy.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I really wanted to go Amazon on the B2, G1 free deal. But I was worried they'd get slammed and might not be able to deliver all the games by Friday. Seeing the various delivery dates, I'm glad I just stayed local and have all my games in hand.

Now I just need Amazon to deliver the actual PS4 on time.

Same here, a bit skeptical with the system (delivery and online ordering) specially ordering expensive electronics and being on time of delivery). If I will buy an expensive stuff I want an "exchange" of my money and product right away.

I went to local Target and they dont have 2k14 but they have the Fifa and AC14 the other 2 games I want for their promo B2G1. The nice saleslady called other local Target (closest one is about 20 miles) but said that they cannot release 2K14 until Friday. So I get my pre-ordered at GS but I will swing by at Target this Friday and see if they still have the 3 games I want.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I have no idea if I should pick up killzone or not. It looks awesome graphically, but Im really into multiplayer, and Im not sure if it can compete with BF or COD online...

It's pretty good online man.. I can't lie to you.. With the new objective based XP system, I think it'll be even better

Any word on demos? I know live demo will be out next week, but nothing on any other games.

PSN gives 60 min trials. Why would we need demos? Play the full game for free for an hour

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

My amazon 2k14 order still says they will update me with a shipping date. I may get it next week. I'm ok with that, because I will have BF4 and Madden to hold me over.

Giant Bomb: A Few Last-Minute Bits of PlayStation 4 Info

I'm told that Infinity Ward is working on a patch to correct the performance issues. As our review currently doesn't apply to the PS4 version of the game--I want to play that and the Xbox One version on real multiplayer servers before assigning it a number--I'm going to see if that patch makes its way live this week and see if it helps. Currently, I'd call it a toss up between the Xbox One and PS4 versions--the Xbox One version has a smoother frame rate, but I'd rather play the game on a Dual Shock 4. Getting that frame rate pegged would definitively swing things in the PS4's direction, even over the PC version, which is sort of a mess.

We got a chance to look at a PlayStation 4 that was connected to the internet as a part of a larger UI demo and, overall, it looks pretty good. The same icons you've seen on the PS3 show up across the top, and there's an activity feed that keeps track of what your friends have been up to, from trophies to livestreams. Selecting a game on the recent apps menu gives you a filtered feed for that specific game.

My favorite new tweak to the PS4's trophy system is the addition of rarity, which will show you what percentage of players possess a trophy. It's a lot like Giant Bomb's old achievement rarity system, so you're welcome. Actually, I think Valve does it, too. Anyway, they break up the rarity with words like "rare" and "ultra rare" and so on. Trophies still need to sync, though, which seems a little old. Word is that it will be faster than the PS3 trophy sync, but I wonder if that's just because there aren't as many PS4 games to sync up to their servers at the moment. The system will also show all of your PS3 and Vita trophies, too. There's a lot of Facebook in the PS4 interface. In fact, that appears to be the only place where you can share video clips you've recorded on the PS4.

Remote Play seems to work. We spoke with members of the Assassin's Creed IV team while demoing the game on a Vita and they claim it only took them a day or two to get Remote Play working. For the most part, the experience was fine on the Vita, though I saw a few video glitches. Since the Vita is missing some of the Dual Shock 4's control options, one set of triggers is mapped to the left and right sides of the rear touch panel and the bottom corners of the screen are used for L3 and R3. This seems like a fine way to solve the control issues. I can't really see myself using this feature too often, but if you're one of those people who has to fight with others for control of a TV in your household, this could be a nice way to compromise.

Early reviews of Resogun--which may start hitting as soon as tomorrow--may be from a non-final version of the game. The version we played during our Quick Look was provided for review purposes, but we later got a note mentioning that the final game had re-tuned its difficulty. A Housemarque representative reached out after that Quick Look went live to mention that the final version of the game would be v1.06 (viewable on the credits screen). The version provided is v0.77. We'll hold off on a review of that until we see what's available for download on retail servers. Likewise, I'm about halfway through the Killzone campaign right now, and I've played a bit of multiplayer, but it was in a loud, party-like setting that wasn't long or quiet enough to judge that part of the game. So until I can play that against real people (I'm looking at you, Taco Bell PlayStation 4 winners), I'm not going to post a review. Should happen by launch day, barring any unforeseen hiccups.

Oh, and Octodad: Dadliest Catch is pretty amazing.

Not every game has a full trial and I haven't read anything about full game trials on PS4 to this point.
