I think it's less not positive on the PS4, and more not positive on the launch titles, which is sort of to be expected.
I'm pretty sure they said that at launch, the PS4 doesn't allow your streams to be archived on twitch but it'll be patched later.

You can't archive on the PS4. Brad and Jeff both had it turned on in Twitch and it did not archive.
It is supposedly going to be added in an update.

very weird.
i can imagine it's a twitch-side thing. twitch is popular, no doubt, but there is a certain baseline of competence and desire required to stream from PC (atleast, until shadowplay there was).
the prospect of hundreds of thousands of joe xbones and jill playstations each archiving hundreds of hours of footage is probably not something that twitch wants to deal with. i wouldn't be surprised if their deal involved the manufacturers ponying up for their own data centres if they wish to archive.
Does XONE archive? I'm thinking it's possibly more due to twitch?
They're going to have quite the load to deal with soon.

If the stream was a real indication and not just one bad part, then this it might not even do this.
That would be sad.
Multiplayer is a huge part of the game and it's been, at the very least, solidly competent in the past.
Judging the game on single-player alone would be almost akin to doing so for COD.
Jeff rarely scores games according to his opinion alone. I don't know if he accounts for the strangeness of his own tastes or gives points for basic competence, but I wouldn't be surprised at a 3/5 even if he really didn't like it.

He's normally got a larger view and will even "down score" a game that he really likes because he recognizes he has weird tastes.

... going by his last couple tweets, i'm thinking it might be a 2.
I'd swap those scores.

Is he stuck on the wing suit section? There have been several reviews, even ones who liked the game who said that section was terrible and a blight on the game. In any case, think Shadowfall looks quite good in general and a nice change of pace from other shooters. Reminds me somewhat of Crysis 3 in regards to the open areas but with more developed set pieces that can evolve. In the quick look Jeff wasn't using half of the abilities at his disposal(you can zipline anywhere!) so I think when you take the other things into account it stands out.
People saying it looks like another Killzone as a negative are silly if nothing else. If anything my main problem with the game is that it doesn't feel like Killzone at all, gunplay seems quite different and the atmosphere present is entirely different. That in combination with how the levels are structured make up a very different game compared to 2 and 3.
Edit: Have they played Contrast at all?

Absolutely. There already are hundreds and thousands of casual lol/dota/hearthstone people streaming constantly, and it's literally watched by fucking no one. Several hundred people are streaming league of legends on twitch right now, and pretty much anyone past the top 20 channels or so doesn't have more than 5 viewers. Thinking about the bandwith and servers necessary to archive all that content no one wants and will ever watch, is, quite frankly, ridiculous.
I can understand why they don't want to increase their load allowing the console streamers to archive on top of all that.
I totally delete my streams after I broadcasted them to NOONE.
There's no reason to leave them up, I'm not an interesting person and nobody will ever watch it.
I don't know why I lost the Castle Crashers NeoGaf Marathon I did with people from the Steam Thread though.. I liked that one..

Their time schedule for the launch party stream just disappeared off their schedule, is it still happening or did they cancel it?

Their upcoming box can only hold 5 items.

I recommend playing at half speed on Youtube. Sounds like they're absolutely wasted.

Jeff gets hype as fuck at Killzone at the end of that video.

Hmm, the boost honestly seems a bit too overpowered in resogun.
What video? A stream that is not archived? The quick look? Because he is not hyped in that one.

The Brad Resogun video that posted a few post back, Jeff's in the background presumably reviewing Killzone.
It's still happening. Their Coming Up section likes to push off features when filled up.
So he finished it?

Yes.
This crashes are game related?
2PM EST.
They already did an AC4 Quick Look, but it was the PS3 version. I imagine we'll get a look at the PS4 version tonight.
Yeah, I hope so. I'm seriously considering getting it for my PS4.
Lots of people and reviewers like it.
