Anybody got their hands on the PS4 yet? Whatcha think?

Demo units have started popping up in stores - I got a few minutes playing Knack at my Gamestop here in Berkeley.

Controller and console seem lovely. The game is only a slight graphical improvement over current gen, and looked on par with Wii U, although you noticed the higher processing power in the smoothness and particle effects.

Seems promising. I'm excited.

Anybody else get to play with it?

On par with Wii U? First time I've heard that. o.O

the demo booths only have indies and Knack to play after all. XD

Yeah, they can't put M rated games there.

Maybe I'm confused, but I thought people were praising Knack for it's graphics. D:

Wonder Woman remarks, "I've had one for a week. Only Lord Zeus himself may be able to best it's power."

my roommate is a pre-release tester for the ps4. it constantly freezes and the games don't run above 20 fps. i hope things turn out better for sony.

and his "roommate" is major nelson lol

anyway, On topic: Yes.. Very high quality build. Knack is exactly what it looks like, a fun pick up and play platformer

The controller.. best I've ever held. The sticks, triggers, D-Pad, trackpad..everything is just sublime.

Everyone just flag this fakeboy and move on.

It is a very good looking piece of hardware indeed. Stay sexy Sony.

never played demo's yet.. but i had a hold on the godly ps4 controller, its like pandora's box on your hands

I dont really want to play demos of the PS4, I just want to hold the controller. I know you can buy them now, but I dont need 2 controllers, so I'm just going to wait till the 15th.

I'm picking up a extra DS4 this week so I can have one fully charged and ready for launch.

Which games are you picking up at launch?

@TruthArisen: they're gonna ban you again casey... :P

Yep. I have played it today and yesterday. The games were Knack, Contrast, FIFA, and I got to play Killzone for about 15 minutes before they were told to take it out if kids came into the store.

Knack- Better than I thought and what I spent the most time playing. Reminds me of God of War in a way. There is some decent depth in the combat and it is pretty challenging. I died several times. The jumping in the demo is weird though. The game will not let you jump where it does not want you too. So if you try to jump to another area in the game regardless of how low it is the game will say "Nope." So you have to walk along the wall to find out where you can jump. It's dumb. It doesn't look that great either. It could of been done on the PS3. But I did have fun with it.

FIFA is just a high-rez version of the PS3 version. I am not happy with it at all.

Contrast looks cool but I haven't played it myself. But it is a game I am somewhat interested in.

Killzone looks stunning. But I fell like they are trying to copy Crysis with all the new gadgets. It is also not near as open as they claim, but I only played 15 minutes of it. Ryse looks awesome but I am going with Killzone as the best looking next gen game because of the scope. It actually doesn't feel like a Killzone game. That is a good thing. I am gonna get this on day one for sure.

The controller is a big ass improvement over the DS3. The sticks actually have weight to them finally and the controller is a little bigger as well. It is at least as good as the 360 controller. I hate the way the pad feels and no one in line could figure out how to use it or if the games supported it.

@timbers_WSU: You did not take pics?

No. Was I supposed too?

Everything I've read about next-gen Fifa said there was significant gameplay improvements. Was it really that bad?

Sure you don't mean particle effects?, the graphics aren't anything special from what i've seen.

That is 95% of the launch games that Cows will be playing. "for gamers by gamers" LOL!

I love posts like this lol. Im sure your dad works for Sony too? And your mom for MS? And you happen to be the co-founder of Valve? lol.

Maybe that's what it was.

Got my hands on the controller today. My oh my what a wonderful controller and far exceeded the already high exp[expectations I had of it.

How is his post any less credible than the random tweets from random people?

Those "random" people have played BF4. If you're DC'ing for the Xbone BF4 issues, stop it.

FIFA is a good game regardless but I really did not see a difference. The crowds look nice. There are ball boys now. But the game felt like last years. And it doesn't look like a big step up from the PS3. Especially after seeing NBA2K.

@KarateeeChop: my roommates uncle has a friend who told him that he knows this guy who's father is an employee at Microsoft game studios. He in turn knows this other guy who is a real hotshot (big time fellow), NOW, he told him that the Xbox one is waaay too rushed and tends to burn out at higher resolutions than 720p. He also secretly told that we all live in the Matrix, so there!

I think alot of problem people are having with KNACK is the fact it's cartoony, i mean the sheer finish to that game reminds me of a cgi movie, and i think that most people esp on these boards are judging it to realistic graphics, KNACK could not be made on ps3 the character in itself is made up with as many pixels the ps3 could handle. if you ever get to see mark cerny talk about knack he tells it like it is.

he isn't out to wow people, he is out to make a game which is fun to play and enjoyable.

i heard fifa is a massive improvement over ps3/360, a step in the right direction for the game.

Shouldn't you get a gif with 360 ending last now?
