Forums - Sony Discussion - My Day One Impressions of the ps4 and various games!

So I thought I would share how my experience with the system itself and how some of the games are. I have bought ac4, kz, and bf4. I also dl resogun and contrast.

 

Hardware:

 

I downloaded the update no problem. I didn't do the midnight launch though. Just in the morning. The UI itself seems snappy enough, alot better than the ps3's for sure. There were some issues though with changing some account info/various things that have to do with online. This was understandable though since it was day one. The psn store feels better than that mess on the ps3 xD. I haven't tried the other features like online yet since I just didn't. Online mp on day one would be prob hit or miss anyways though.

 

Controller:

 

It feels solid overall. Def an improvement over the ds3. The touchpad was iffy to me. In kz it worked fine enough, but sometimes my hands would bump into into and it would react by changing owls mode. That might be because I'm not use to it though. One thing I found amusing was the ds4 would change colors while I played. I was amused xD. Triggers, grip feel real nice overall.

 

Games:

Ok, let’s get this out of the way! This game looks gorgeous period! Def next gen. I played up to chapter 3 or 4. The game itself seems rather good when it gives you free reign like in the forest level. The third level has to be one of the most mudane sections I've played. There was some weird zero gravity thing in the begining. It feels like going from point a to b. You're prob saying, but BloodyRain, it's an fps that’s what you're supposed to do! Well, yes, but when you're actually shooting at something. That section barely had any enemies. I haven't finished this section yet though, since I got bored. I was just going around in circles; maybe I'm just bad at this section lol. So impression may change overall. Honestly speaking from first impressions, the only aspect this game impressed me in was visually. Gunplay seems fine, snappier then previous kz's. Out of all the games that I have played, this seemed to be the one I currently like the least.

 

Now I gave this a chance since it was an open world game with pirates even though ac3 was just meh. Well mostly since watch dogs got delayed. From first impressions. I can honestly say I am enjoying this title. Yes, Yes this is still ac at its core. Combat is the same for anyone who has played previous ac's. Visually, it looks really nice. Maybe not a huge leap as kz, but this is a transitional game. The main character is already more likable then Connor. The games beginning is quick and doesn't force you to stay on a farm for ages before it lets you run wild. Ship combat has been improved from ac3. I liked this game quite a bit, I might be a bit bias though since I always wanted an open world pirate game xD.

 

Wow, just Wow! This game is bloody awesome. Visually it is really pleasing with all the voxels. The gameplay is simple, but rather addicting. This is def a must buy if you get a ps4 later. Seriously buy it dammit! The controls are solid and responsive, One feature I did enjoy was the voice that comes out of the ds4 speaker that tells you when various things happen. Overall, I wasn’t expecting much, but was blown away!

 

Contrast:

Haven't played yet

BF4:

Not yet.

Feel free to ask my any questions!

Sounds like you're enjoying it so congrats :) Hope if gives you a lot of fun! My friend was really enjoying his PS4 last night. He was a little upset about server issues and his games got corrupted by the morning and he was kind of mad. He was enjoying it though and said the UI was super fast. He said he was loving Killzone. I haven't heard from him today so I'm not sure if he has fixed his games yet.



I have never accidentally hit the touchpad yet. Don't ever foresee that I will either. you must just be weird! :-p

Glad you are enjoying it, From what you have played so far do you think the reviews for killzone have been fair? G;ad that you are enjoying Resogun! That games has me the most excited.

As of right now, I do think they are fair. Well the ones that gave it around a 7-8 are. Not sure about polygons 5 seems way too low. It is a step forward for the kz franchise, but there seems to be still some issues. I've always rated previous killzones around an 8, but this was supposed to be the launch title thats gets people excited for the ps4. Based on my limited time, it delivers in spades in the graphical department, but the some parts of the sp just seem out of place or mudane. If it sticks to mostly the open area deal like in the forest level, then it would be quite a good step forward. Instead it seems to mix corridors/open areas with rather mudane objectives like go to this area to shut down point b, then go do something elese. There seems to be too much down time in some of the levels. More open areas, I can understand, but not in the more linear sections. Still this is only a first impression though. The kz mp never grabbed me in previous games so not sure about this one. I did play a match with bots which was fine. it didn't really pull me in that much though. this might just be my personal issue with it though. Yes, resogun is a really nice game overall. Def worth the price if it wasn't free with ps plus lol.
