Always good to hear opinions from average gamers without an agenda.

We could use more threads like this around here.

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. 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.


yea have no idea how teh old the build was. Thegame looked very good an dplayed like all tehother assassin creed games. the screen tearign in teh one i saw was pretty bad. almost constant.  Ah poor you . the one in digital nationz was very small. if i am not mistaken we got 13 of those so if you know where to look you can potentially skipp lining up lol. I agree it actually works na dteh rollercaoster demo really does give you vertigo lol. what other games did you try at EG?

Knack has framerate problems?? I have never noticed that in any of the videos I've seen. Well, I hope they'll be able to work it out.


yea very bad ones, It was at least below 20fps . For me it was unplayable as it gest frusyating when it slowdowns like that.. The build could be old so i ope it gets fixed before it comes out. 



So lucky you were able to try the systems out. Loved the impressions too.



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

Odd how no website mentions any Framerate issues with knack, also odd how you never played the PS4's best games and made a conclusion on a console based on that. Pretty pointless thread.

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.


Ah i fond it great as there were tons  to see plu ssome games kept me coming back to play more like Killeer instinct lol. .  did you get to try watchdogs and south stick of truth as well? Plus M one had alot to see. Yea it ws a shame Sony didn't have Kill zone and infamousas  i was looking forward to try ing them out on the ps4. Yea if people haven't decided which one to buy at launch and they based their decision on the event then alot if not all would pick MS based on what was shon at the event. Felt like sony wasn't even trying lol.  Yea controller is good and has a nice feel to it but i persnally prefer the xbox controller as it fits exactly to my hands so its just nice and very comfortable lol.  Yea teh lines were huge especially for killer instinct and ryse. Had to wait at lewast 30 mins for ryse and based on what i heard the general conseseus loved the game lol.

The build could be old as thdere was no indication to how old was the build. 
Its not a pointless thread as the OP was placing his opinion based on what was shown at the event.  For many firsthands on  impression is their last impression especailly if they do not follow or watch games shows like E3 , gamescon or even TGS. Its not anyones fault if Sony failed to bring their best exclusives to show right?  Much like teh OP we weer both looking forward to trying Sonyss best exclusives ,, but sadly Sony failed to  deliver and impress teh gamerfs at Digital Nations nz. Blame sony not gamers like OP who are just placing his opinion.

Why is it odd? I would have loved to play KZ if it was there, but it wasn't. KZ is my favorite shooter of all time, In fact it was the main reason I went and I was very disappionted it wasnt there.The thread is not pointless I gave my impressions on what I tried and Sony lost this time.

First, thanks for sharing your experiences! Nice that you got to try both systems too.

Wow, really? Bummer about Knack - and isn't that Mark Cerney's Baby? That is sad to hear.

How did you like the feedback triggers? Where the on in Forza or Ryse?

Did you get to try any new Kinect features or games?

I actually don't remember feeling any feedback in the triggers, maybe they didn't have them on :/ or maybe I was paying to much attention to the game lol :P

I watched a few people playing kinect but I didnt wanna try it out of fear of looking silly :P

Nah, never let people afraid to have fun stop you from having fun! 

Plus, anyone playing with a controller and two little thumb sticks looks really silly if you think about it.

I know they didn't have the feedback triggers on at Comic Con.  They might not of had them on either.  They did have them on at GamesCon and people really liked them in Forza 5.  Said you could feel the bumps in the road and helped you feel breaking better.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!
