I was pretty bummed this was missing the launch of the ps4, but I now believe this was vital to putting out a polished title. I can't wait to get behind the virtual wheel.
@get2sammyb This is exactly what happened in the U.S. I had read there were going to be extras, so I told a few of my friends who hadn't been able to pre-order. They went to gamestop around 5:30 pm the day before launch and were able to get two ps4's to pickup at midnight. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants one in the next few weeks, because we haven't seen any more in stock anywhere since. I am hoping more will ship after the global launch because I know a bunch of people trying to get one. I need to fill up my battlefield team!!!!
That's pretty cool of sony to save his place. Very responsible of them to make sure he gets to class and gets some sleep instead of making him freeze to show everyone how dedicated their fans are.
To be honest, the concave thumb sticks are my favorite feature. They keep my thumbs from slipping while playing shooters. Also, the triggers are much more comfortable than r1 l1 for shooters.
That is preposterous! Publishers should provide incentive for digital downloads, considering they are so hurt by the used games market. This is the reason people resisted the xbox one always online/no used games deal. Because we can't trust fair digital pricing.
So far I am not bored at all. My only disappointment has been how glitchy battlefield 4 is, because it is otherwise amazing and I want to play it more.
I stayed up til 4am est. played killzone and one match of Ghosts online. Killzone looks awesome and the controls are way better than previous entries. COD is what u would imagine. The UI is awesome, I actually used the voice commands a bit for menu navigation. Also, I like the facial recognition log in. I wasn't able to see the progress of downloads which I didn't like, also psn was down until about 3am in the morning. But I linked my iPhone to my ps4 and have been remote downloading things from psn from work all day.
I downloaded it, then I had my wife play through it as I am terrible at these types of games. I did enjoy it(just bad at it) and I have already picked my copy of knack up at gamestop.
@get2sammyb Zampella has had a rough go with corporate bullies his whole career. He started with EA creating the Medal of Honor series with Jason West, then jumped ship to Activision to found Infinity Ward over some bs, then back to EA partners after the Activision scandal, only to get sold out yet again for $$. I feel very bad for Respawn and wish all of their talented team members the best of luck!
Awesome! I'm super excited to hit the battlefield on ps4. On an unrelated note, I just picked up Shadowfall and the ps camera at gamestop this morning! All I need now is a ps4!
@Carl-G Killzone will be my first game in the system as well. Also, happy to have you in the comments. I read a lot of other gaming sites but push square is the only one I comment on. The conversations here are great and respectful!
I feel like digital distribution is going to hold next gen back. No one wants to download 100 gb games, but ps3 games were already 50 gb. So I think they will cut content in order to provide downloads consumers are willing to download. Devs and producers love digital because they don't have to give retail a cut and there is used market to contend with.
Drive club is disappointing, but I am still super excited for launch day!! Killzone, Call of Duty, Battlefield and Minecraft will keep me busy until the new year for sure. I agree with Sammy though, Need for Speed will most likely reap the benefits of this delay.
It all seems a little unprofessional this close to launch, same goes for watchdogs. One would assume they would have known a while ago they weren't going to hit their deadline. Oh we'll, I will enjoy it whenever it is released.
@get2sammyb everyone said the game didn't look up to snuff earlier in the year. This is surprising that the game delay would be announced so close to launch.
The cross buy is amazing as I have previously purchased all of these titles. I hope zen pinball has a similar plan, I would love to play the new Star Wars tables on my dual shock 4.
Makes since marketing wise, the only other next gen open world game was ac4. Why compete with themselves? Also, they don't want their current-gen versions compared to GTAV
Uncharted 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 on ps3 both took up 50 gb. I expect titles like the Witcher to come on multiple blu-rays and require one disc to install, hence the 500 gb harddrive. I don't know why this is a shock, if the system is 10x more powerful that means file size will increase as well, just like every previous gen.
I can hardly wait! November cannot come soon enough. I recently finished shadow fall and I am playing the online component now. If guerrilla can pull that out of the Vita, I cant wait to experience what they do on PS4.
I have been expecting this. I actually held off on buying the console version in hopes they would bring this to Vita. I don't play fighting games on the big screen that much.
@ErnisDy I definitely see your point. I prefer the Fable approach though -where they hop around from time period to time period without the future protagonist.
I think PS vita TV will be good for the PS Vita. The sooner developers stop shoe-horning touch/motion controls into places they are not needed the better.
@LDXD So far in japan both models are going for roughly $200 U.S. The OLED looks awesome. So much so that the OLED TVs go for about 5x the price of LCD.
I have the original Vita, and I don't think I want the redesign. You trade the OLED screen for a gig of storage and a smaller device at the same price. I like the screen.
@charlesnarles and this is why I love this website so much more than Kotaku, IGN, 1Up etc... Everyone who comments on the articles here are so nice to each other.

Re: Feature: Five PS4 Features That Future Firmware Updates Must Include
@ScreamAimFire99 absolutely!!!!! That is my biggest complaint, it feels like a step back when playing a fps.

In line right now. I'm about to pick mine up in Pittsburgh. The line isn't too long.

Just pre-rung at gamestop. They had extras available for people who had not pre ordered. Getting pretty excited.
Re: Round Up: Knack Reviews Punch PS4 Exclusive Down to Size
I can honestly say I am surprised. I thought for sure this would be a suprise hit.
Re: What's Happened to the PS4 Version of Minecraft?
Disappointing for sure, but I'll be so busy with my other launch titles Minecraft will be a nice surprise once it finally releases.
Re: How Tiny Brains Is Tapping into the Power of the PS4 Controller
@Malouff Looks like an awesome addition to the ps4 library! I love these unique games that try new ideas in the name of fun.

Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall Will Fill 40GB of Your PS4's Hard Drive
@irken004 I agree, but until that improves I could see Devs making games smaller to prevent long download times.

The more co op the better. Also, the game looks amazing. I could do without the whole "future in the past thing" but eh.
Re: Talking Point: Are You in Tune with Sony's Multifunctional PS Vita TV?
I think PS vita TV will be good for the PS Vita. The sooner developers stop shoe-horning touch/motion controls into places they are not needed the better.
Re: TGS 2013: Sony Surprised by Strong Western Response to PS Vita TV
I think this would do very well in the us. Plenty of people would pay an extra $20 over a roku to have access to the PS Vita catalog.

You can't really be to upset about it- we get ps4 3 months before Japan does. The PS vita TV is their consolation prize..
