Driveclub for me. After 50 hours of gameplay it still keeps surprising me with amazing vistas in different lighting conditions and dynamic cloud cover. Best night racing to date, looks fantastic in motion.


Where is the free psn plus version you promissed? 

I promised? :) My last prediction was that it would probably be delayed until the weather update, as a relaunch :/ (All server functionality is still not online, plus I was getting disconnects again today, leaderboards take forever to load. Too many people playing in the weekend)
I would offer you share play to try it out, but with my crappy internet and you in Brazil you would be playing in 360p with 150ms lag or more...

Yeah, very few will really enjoy share play in all its glory. Driveclub was suppose to be a PSN PLUS game, I think they will try to delay the demo for a few months.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

and gameplay wise?

While driveclub has me completely hooked and is an awesome very refined racer, it's not really doing anything new gameplay wise. For that my most impressive next gen games are Fract OSC and Transistor. Fract OSC brought that sense of adventure and exploration back in a mysterious 3D vertical environment and combined it with building a synthesizer that let's you make some cool tunes. Transistor's clever way of combining novel weapons kept me interested long enough to go for the platinum trophy.



Try and specify that you're talking about graphics, instead of just implying it, because people are going to intentionally twist the criteria of your question.

Anyway, without a doubt it would have to be Killzone Shadowfall for me. That scene where you're descending into the city on the helicopter blows everything else I've seen out of the water. A lot of games have looked impressive in a small Youtube window, but have disappointed when they're ballooned up on the big screen. This game did not.

Could be graphics, but, you know, I am thinking about that weird next gen feeling, like when a kid that had a NES plays F-Zero for the first time.

Or a kid that had a PSOne plays Silent Hill 2, do you get it?

That WOW feeling of a new gen that begins.

The first few levels of KZ:SF certainly had that WOW feeling. Playing that on a 1080p projector with 5.1 surround system was a new high point. From the awesome fly over, to descending in the forest, to the MADDER realistic sound behaviour. It all looks and sounds much better than any preview video or screenshots could show. The next-gen lighting sets it apart. A couple of these drones flying around in the spaceship level had it's own wow factor:

Too bad there weren't more dead space like levels. That ship level was one of my favorites with excellent music as well.

Maybe you have become a bit jaded? When I first got into gaming everything was still fresh and new. However I didn't think much of F-Zero by that time since I had played Wipeout from the first release on pc. Which was a nice new direction, yet I had had smooth fast racing since Indianapolis 500 in '89. Silent hill 2, great game, Alone in the dark wowed me before that. Maybe I had become jaded a lot earlier and have since been enjoying the steady pace of incremental improvements.

Every gen still has plenty true 'next-gen' wow moments, not much from first year releases though. The way online is handled in Dark Souls and Journey were the biggest highlights for me last gen. There's still a chance the cloud is actually going to do something useful with living evolving online worlds. And VR is coming, a dream since the 80's.

Although the ps3 folded to it's hearts content, a new gen isn't going to solve cancer :) There's plenty to enjoy anyway. I already have a gen 8 backlog, overshadowing my gen 7 backlog, which has burried my gen 6 backlog :/

Yes, I never had a PC as a kid and teenager, so every new console was a wow. I still don´t own a gaming PC, so Dead Rising 3, Infamous and Killzone SF made me feel that WOW again.

Funny thing: the latest WOW feeling I had in gaming was the bobsled game in WiiFit U, with the balance board. Felt like a crazy arcade game, a whole body simulation. Crazy fun.

I therms of effects, I think that resogun with the hundreds of thousands of cubes flying around the screen at a silky smooth 60fps + amazing AA was pretty impressive to behold!

I wil wait to see the weather in Driveclub, but so far the 30fps in a racing game is a bit disapointing :-/

Infamous:SS looked great, but I think that first light is slightly better (feels faster, smoother) ... yet, as great as the game looks over all, there is no climactic moment to it! no super big enemies, etc. it's just generally great in therms of great looks, but it seems like they did not know what to do with them.

Killzone:SF had my jaw drop a couple of times... I must say it was my first real PS4 game!

oh we don't pay much attention to this, but the sound design in both infamous and killzone is just amazing! my ears were so happy at times!

Have you played Shaun white snow boarding last gen? I thought that was the best use of the balance board. Lot of fun and quite a workout doing the half pipe score attacks.

Never had a Wii, but I will buy this game now and play!

Thanks!
