    Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

    A lot of good gamer nerd info here: Why Killzone Shadow Fall is almost 40GB (it used to be 290...)

    Love this stuff about emphasis and steps taken to eliminate load times:

    Whether played from hard disc or Blu-ray, van der Leeuw is particularly proud of how fast and seamlessly the game loads; it's been a pet project for the tech director, who hates how slow modern games have become to operate. Guerrilla has completely eliminated in-game load times after an initial 30 seconds, and removed all logos and splash screens from the game's start-up routine. It may take a while to download Killzone Shadow Fall, but once you have it, the game comes to you very quickly indeed.

    "To me, that's still something that fills my heart with joy when I see it. You insert the disc and go straight to menu," he says. "People here worked very hard... We had to ask legal and Dolby, the epilepsy warning stuff, the logos from Havok - we had to negotiate with them that we could put it in the credits and not the title screen... All the rules are built around the previous generation. I'm really happy that we're one of the first ones in, and I hope it's an example that people are going to follow.
    Haven't had a chance to read the rest of it, but some good information on how download + playing works, you'll need to download 7.5gb of Killzone's 40gb install in order to start playing, that'll get you the infrastructure and first level it looks like.

      Sorry if this has already been mentioned before but will Sony be releasing some of the older PS3 games in their store (Drake's Fortune series, God of War, etc...). I missed out on some of those and would love to play them while the PS4 catalog increases.

          Nothing announced, it's expected those will be available once their Gaikai solution is ready and you'll be able to purchase them or subscribe to that service for access to previous generation(s) games.

            Good news: Replacing the battery of the DS4 is just as easy as doing it with the DS3. Great for if the battery ever goes bad (it's really cheap, too. Replacement DS3 batteries go for ~$3 on Amazon), no need to buy a new controller.

              Also good news for anyone with an issue with the controller glow, doesn't look like it would be difficult to either disconnect or mask those LEDs (disconnect would be easiest option, not sure if controller would view that as a fault and not work though, so slipping something to block the light between the diffuser and the LEDs looks like an easy option).

                Seen on Neogaf, here is a 4 month look at American purchasing trends across retailers:

                Over the past four months, online shopping interest in the PS4 has consistently outpaced that of the Xbox One by a margin of over 2 to 1. Online at least, three out of four next-generation console shoppers have considered the PS4, with 61% considering ONLY the PS4. Contrast that to the 39% that have shopped for the Xbox One and the 27% that shopped the Xbox One exclusively.

                    It's a little known fact that the MS hatred at neoGAF allows their hive mind to manipulate data that independent researchers gather.

                        LOL he also says that a XBox One game would be 240p without the power of the cloud.

                              Just curious to see if anyone in OS has received a call from their respective Gamestops about their DS4 and PS4 Camera being available for pick up. Another forum has a few people who got notified by their gamestops that their PS4 camera and DS4 controller are ready to be picked up. I just went to my Gamestop today to preorder ACIV and they didnt mention anything about the DS4 or PS4 camera that I preordered being ready to be picked up. Not too worried about it but just curious to hear if anyone here has received theirs from Gamestop yet.
