Knack was just horrible, the framerate was so bad it was frustrating.

Are you sure you weren't playing Dynasty Warriors 8?


Knack can only hope to be half the game DW8 is. Theres only visible frame rate issues at Hu Lao gate when the path is set on fire. Given theres dozens of stages, thats a really unfair acessment of the game.

Went to Digital Nationz which is equivalent to E3 but on a smaller scale. My first impression PS4 ws disappointing. The only exclusive was knack and drive club. Knack build looked terrible . Graphics weren't anything special and the slowdown was atrocious. Was less then 20fps. Drive club was okay but the build there was nothing special in the graphics department.

 

Some parts i felt GT6 looked better. Compared to fORZA 5,, Forza 5 wins by quite a bit. I am sure the final build will look good. The indie games was average . can't remember the games but they were boring. Controller is nice but my preference is Xbox one controller. That controller is amazing! Tried Assassin creed 4 on the ps4. Game looks and plays good but there was alot of screen tearing. whenever you turn there was screen tearing. so in total there were only 7 ps4 games. Xbox one for me took da show. MS had this 200 inch projector to show case killer instinct! That attract the most attention. the game is fluid and fast and looks beautiful. Its very easy to pick out and do cool looking combos and man when you do ULTRAAAA it feels awesome.

Hehe even i managed to do 50 hit ULTRA with saberwolf on that 200 inch projector hehe. Tried Forza 5. Graphic is good and the racing is really good. The rumble motors makes a difference when accelerating and you can feel it. Tried the Ubisoft Uncaged sequel. the game is terrible. works bu if you tried to punch faster you can see lag. Did try kinect sports 2 rivals and the response was amazing. its very very responsive. the required distance is alot smaller and in the vent ,, people were walking in front of the camera ,, people looking behind me and the reason show casing the came came behind me and put his arms around me and despite all of that it still worked and the response time was just as good . Managed to try Ryse but build they gave us was the multiplayer one. graphics were pretty good. There wee no bugs or glitches but they had very rare occasions of clipping .

Apart from that the frame rate was solid and the combat is very deep. You can button mash. I found out the hard way haha. if you button mash you will die and if you don't work in a team you will die. every attack you have to time ti right and the timing is not easy as tha determines how fast you kill the enemy. you have to know when you use the shield , time the block to counter attack and when to evade and the use your powers lol. The executions is not QTE . its timing based. So more legendary executions the better things you get . Got to try Crimson dragon. that game plays exactly like panzer dragon. its an awesome game. you can use both controller or kinect. both very responsive. there was no dead rising but you can see the developer playing one level for you . Apart from that .,, i got to try Occulus rift. manage to try the rollercoaster level. One word for is AWESOME!. Once you put it on,, you actually feel like you are in a roller coaster. you feel dizzy and you get even vertigo feeling. when you look down ,, you feel like you are going to fall off the cliff. its really cool and can't wait till its done..

Controller:
Xbox one controller to me is teh best controller for next gen. The analog fits veery well and has a good gri[. Not matter how long you play ,, it will never slips. its alot light then the xbox 360 one . The rumble motors is very cool and makes a difference especially for driving games and shooter games. The Dpad is also very good. especially in killer instinct. all teh moves and ultra are performed with ease thanks to the new improved Dpad. Plus teh shape and the grip fits perfectly to your hand.

PS4 . Good controller. its nicely shapped. As usual the analog stick is good and the dpad is good. nothing much has changed except the noticeable improvements in teh triggers. there was any game that uses the touchpad so i an't comment

I saw AC4 on PS4 at EG, didnt see any screen tearing at all...looked great. Guess it just shows that different places seem to be getting different results...lol :)

There were too many queues for many of the games and i didnt bother queuing for most... fighting games are not my bag.. and nor is standing still for too long. Waited about 45 mins just for Oculus Rift, and that started to be tiresome, so how some people could wait for 2 hours... gah!

Oculus rift was very good.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Damn, and I just figured Knack would just be boring, but it has frame rate issues this close to launch? Maybe they'll fix it by the time it launches, but it will most likely be a flop anyway. The character just has no appeal to me.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

not at all surprised about knack. i'll bet your ps4 impression would have improved with a better game like killzone.

glad to hear about the DS4,.. one the the things i'm personally looking forward to.

Sucks to hear that about Knack. Which demo did you play? Like where or what place did the demo start at?


And how did you get access to playing it?


OM


I played two different demos of knack. The one where you have to stay small to get through the laser, and the 2nd demo was in the city and Knack was quite big throwing cars at helicopters and what not. I asked a Sony rep about the horrible framerate( and I mean REALLY bad, I could hear people whispering stuff like wtf is up with this game.) and he just said "aww, its probably cause its still in development" If I were Sony I would have turned that game off cause no one walked away impressed from that.

Oh so its just the framerate? Good ;)

 

And are you in Tokyo or something? How the hell did you get to play PS4!? lol

 

I'm trying to figure out which build you played. Tokyo Game Show has the newest build from the city level. It 's the same demo that was at E3 but a bit more polished and refined. All the vids i watched of Knack seems to have ran good so the framerate issue seems weird and i'm hoping it was just something going on with their set ups there(where ever the hell you played it lol)

are you sure about the knack framerate? didn't recognize that in the gamescom or pax (not sure) videos i watched.

good to hear that really everyone thinks that the ps4 controller feels better or different to the ds3. i will like it probably much more now to play on the playstation.

also good to read about forza. as big forza fan i obviously don't want a totally new feeling. for people who don't like forza it is not so good

would have been great to hear something about killzone or dead rising but well... the rest doesn't really interest me right now.


I was gutted they didnt have Killzone there, cause that was the game I really wanted to play :( And yeah that framerate was horrible. I hope it was just a early demo, but I tryed both the demos they had and it was bad for both.

Where were you? 

If you were at Eurogamer show they had Killzone there.


DigitalNationz in NZ

Yeah thats where I went, I thought the event was pretty average though lol did everything in 3 hours. Sonys booth was bad compared to MS If I wasn't already decided on getting a PS4 then I would have been buying a Xbone for sure. The best thing in the Sony area was playing Tearaway which I though was great. Beyond was awesome aswell. and the PS4 controller felt like gold. MS showing was more balanced and had something for everyone and you could tell people were more impressed just by looking at the lines.

DS4 or xbox one controller, which one do you think is better?

They're pretty much the same as the Xbox 360/ Dualshock 3.

 

Xbox One is a little bit different from the other one. Sticks are clicky.
