PS4 Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

I have both games and I'm the opposite. I think Killzone has better graphics.

KZ is too colorfull . They should have kept the realistic darker look of KZ 1 and 2. BF4 has that look. the lighting effects are better on KZ but the lighting used is better in BF4. I never saw KZ as a game as if this world exists and im there. I immediately felt like that playing KZ 1 and 2 and I felt that way playing BF4

Prezhulio and I are. Who is your ISP?
AT&T. My laptop, iPad, 360, and PS3 are downloading things much faster than my PS4 so I know it's not my connection. I just want to know why it's taking me hours to download a third of what should be a 10-15 minute update on my PS4.
 
with my slow ass download speeds at my home, I can say I cannot embrace a digital overlord :( I am downloading BF4 on the fly and it is saying ti will take 33 hours. How far into the download will it allow me to play? I also notice it is downloading the patch and the actual game and there is no way to prioritize them.
 
The feel of next gen.

That's a tight but nice setup
 
I look at that, and I can't even comprehend people whining about Sony not announcing games. They've only just launched, and you already know of 10+ games from SCE.

Then you also have Yakuza Ishin, Deep Down and others. Maybe I'm being harsh, and I understand people like different things, but to look at that and try to claim as if Sony is doing something incredibly wrong seems just inane. Are we looking at different things? The console generation is just kind of starting; many third parties haven't even really announced their big titles. And after announcing more than 10 games, some people are complaining SCE is holding too much close to their chest. How many games can be announced so quickly? Even if they don't announce more games, and they will which is obvious, that's still a solid line up.


I think whats frustrating people is that a lot of the big titles Sony has announced are just more sequels/spinoffs to PS3 franchises. It's the reason God of War Ascensio and Gears Judgement didn't sell as well as their predecessors. People want either completely new IPs or franchises we haven't seen in a long long time (like Colony Wars, Jet Moto, Medievil, Crash Bandicoot, etc.) There is no massive pent up demand for yet another infamous, killzone, uncharted, god of war, etc. People want new experiences.

I agree to that with the exception of Uncharted. That franchise is still growing.

So the 7 days PS+ trial does not stack on your current PS+? It kept saying "The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid. Please check your entry. (E-8200012F)".

I think Sony's big mistake was making Puppeteer a PS3 game. If it were a PS4 game a lot people would be talking about it. It got overlooked being a PS3 game and stealth released with little to no marketing.

Just a reminder to all the eurogaf crew looking forward to their new consoles - might want to confirm you have the right card details/numbers with whoever you're ordering from.

Had a card number change happen between placing my US order and the actual release. Didn't mess anything up for me (quick call to Amazon sorted things) but would hate for something so simple to ruin anyone's day!

I think people who complain about the launch line-up should look at the ps2 and ps3 launch line-ups. The only game really worth a shit out of both of those was Tekken Tag Tournament, which was absolutely fantastic, but was also a port of an arcade game that was already out.

I agree, games like Puppeteer and Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus should of been also released on PS4. I am surprised that we didn't get Batman: Arkham Origins or WWE 2K14 on here, but I can see with WWE after the THQ bankruptcy.

You people whining about how Sony's handling this launch make me feel so old. This is how they always do things. In fact Knack and Killzone are probably their highest profile launch exclusives they've released since the PS1 launch (besides Resistance) so they're actually doing things a little different, and they have more first party games geared up for the first year than they ever had before. There won't be the standard 1 year wait for the floodgates to open on a Sony platform now.

Hey, I bought DOA2: Hardcore at PS2 launch and I liked it!

Probably about 2/3 through Knack; I still feel it's better than reviews said. It's nothing crazy, but it's a very solid launch title.

y'all should be ashamed
Mercenary Kings in December.
Lone Survivor in January (will be available on PS+ at launch)

Pinball Arcade, Tiny Brains, and War Thunder confirmed for early December as well (War Thunder is coming this week for Euro launch I think). I'm sure there will be more.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I have the HDMI link set up on my TV, so it's really nice to turn on the ps4 and the TV just comes on by itself too...but is there a way to stop it from turning the system on when I turn the TV on by itself to use another component on it? Or is that just going to happen no matter what...

I've had the same problem. It's only with patches though.
Downloaded Resogun and Cotrast pretty fast.


Hmmm maybe I'll buy another game off of psn (been wanting killzone and nba 2k14) aand see if it goes faster. The current download that is stuck is a blackout patch. I think I already have all the ftp games, and given my bandwidth cap I don't want jack it up intentionally with something I've already downloaded.

If this is the situation firmware updates and patches are going to be though I'm not going to be able to handle it. Couldn't even pull the firmware down from pc...

Arg.. so I had my controller swapped on Friday because the R1 button was starting to stick. Well now the R1 button on the new one is starting to stick also.

WTF Sony.. I am really not impressed. Had my DS3 for like 4 years and never had an issue like this.. And two in a row now.

*edit. Searching around online this is a common issue. FFS

Resistance says Hi.

One of the best launch titles.

agreed.

by the end of this gen we'll all be flowing about how sony had the best console library again, for the 4th gen in a row.

ps2 and ps3 both started out very weak.

There are 17 posters with more than 100 post in xb1 OT and only 2 here.

Most of the regular xbox fans were using that thread as their sole posting thread on the entire forum, or one of very few. They feel like the whole board is out to get them and hide there where they think it's a safe haven from the "trolls", aka the majority of the website. They did the same thing in the several megathreads that existed earlier this year before they were locked.

If I go check the numbers I could probably guess at least half of those 17 right away.

edit: I was close. I had 8 correct.

In any other year it's a shitty line up , there simy isn't a system seller there.

I'm looking at that list and I'm not thinking "holy shit that looks great !" I'm thinking " huh , I'm gonna have to buy an Xbox next Christmas "


Edit : forgot about Uncharted , still a crappy list , though.

So buy an Xbox already. Jesus.

You should have done at least a little research before you spend a couple hundred dollars.

Well the call for gaf as being sony baised is also from outside . I was just curious as the intrest level by our community by seeing the involvement within the respected OT. Looking at the numbers how can anyone say gaf has any ms anti

Because the people proclaiming NeoGAF as a bunch of Sony fanboys are super defensive MS fanboys that can only see any criticism against MS as some kind of attack, and anyone that does is automatically a Sony fanboy.

When one company fucks up as much as Microsoft has this year, and continue to do so, it's going to seem like the majority of the board is heavily against them. They're justified for doing so too, it's not bias for being upset at all of the constant screw ups from MS. Some are definitely established Sony fanboys taking advantage of the situation but the majority of the forum are not Sony fanboys. We were much smaller in 2006 but the people that were here bashed on Sony when they were the one screwing up constantly. I know you understand all of that but that's for anyone else who might really think that.

Plus the numbers are a bit skewed because MS launched all at once whereas Sony is launching in Europe next week. For a while we basically had 2 PS4 OTs with the Euro waiting thread that was up.

I wasn't planning on getting one at launch but found out yesterday that my GF ordered one from Ebay as a surprise gift.

Although the thought is very sweet it's a huge waste of money (she paid about $700 inc. shipping) because I'm only interested in Resogun at the moment. Didn't tell her that of course :)

It's an US console, am I right in assuming I can use it with my Belgium PSN account without any problems when it arrives?

This network bug I have seems to be getting worse. A good majority of the time that I check the store when I tab out of a game it doesn't load, which then causes the what's new tab and the game activity tabs to not load anymore either, even if I just looked at them 5 seconds earlier. The other things like friends list, trophy syncing and even downloading all still work though. Is no one else getting symptoms like that? I keep hoping it's a bug on PSN that will be patched, but I seem to be the only one talking about it.

I agree it's a typical launch. Hopefully they'll be able to follow up this year with some killer 1st party games. Launch day is a battlefield for the hardware and going into next holiday season is going to be software killing fields level of war because at that point it's time to try and grab as many fence sitters and casuals as possible.

I'm hoping E3 doesn't disappoint, as well as most of the stuff they show off comes out next fall, and other developers finally get on board with the new hardware not worrying about cross-gen nonsense (though I have a feeling we will have another year of this cross-gen stuff). Next fall maybe epic if The Order delivers, Uncharted makes it's appearance, and maybe, just maybe, a GT7 Prologue.

And yes, Resistance 1 maybe one of the best launch titles Sony ever had.
