what are your first impressions for ps4?

UI

Sony has a history of showing stuff off that never actually happens. This time around they went the complete opposite way. They showed next to nothing off about the UI, and now that I have my hands on it I am very pleased. The voice controls work flawlessly, the in game UI is fully accessible, and jumping between apps is instant. The whole UI moves without a hitch, and you can download the shit out of things. I had Knack, Killzone, COD, Battlefield, Flower, Contrast, Blacklight, Resogun, Warframe, and Madden all downloaded and ready to play in only 3 hours. They continue to download in the background once the initial app is installed.

Killzone

Single player only so far. At this point I agree with the reviews so far. It is a little stale, and some of the puzzles are more a chore than anything. The graphics are very very nice though. I have only played through chapter 3 so far, so maybe it picks up.

Knack

Much better than the reviews are saying. It is a simple game, and so far it has kept things fresh. It is only square, x and O for doing attacks, but there is plenty of skilled involved in dodging and attacking. Only about 2 hours in on this one so I will leave it at this so far.

Madden

Have not played a Madden in 4 years, but this pretty much seems like the same old thing.

The Store

Can be accessed anytime! Works much faster than the PS3, and looks exactly the same. One strange thing is, all of the preordered games have very different transaction set ups. One mentioned that I had to complete the transaction to verify my purchase from the PS3, but only made me hit ok. Another went through the whole purchase set up again with a charge of 0 dollars to my wallet. One just went straight to install. The last said it would be added to my cart at 59.99 and the just proceeded to download. Hopefully they will come to a more standard process in time.

Now back to playing.
