Got back from the conference, rather tired, quick first impressions:
Played/watched almost all what PS4 has to offer. Killzone and Infamous were off-hands demos, Driveclub, Knack, Resogun, AC4, War Thunder played myself.
1. Killzone looks as good as latest trailers/screens suggest. Sometimes I felt there is too much flare in the picture, but thats only nitpick I can come out with. Clearly next-gen title, and openness of the gameplay really elevate it above KZ2/3. OWL is awesome, if somewhat overpowered.
2. Infamous looks better than any media I have seen on that title. Just phenomenal. Before the gameplay demo a trailer was playing, and it was looking rather average due to compression, probably, but than game started and wow. Textures are crisp, particles are flying, framerate seemed quite stable, a lot of dynamic object destruction and creation. Definitely most impressive PS4 title so far, looks to be sure must buy.
3. Knack looks fine, but somewhat stale, probably due to quite static backdrops. Beat most demo levels, my 8 yo son will love it. Still no puzzles in sight, which is a bummer, hopefully there will be some in the full game.
4. Resogun is awesome twin stick shooter, Housemarque went all out with particle effects and explosions, the picture is crisp, framerate is perfect, and I like cylinder more than the sphere of SSHD, much easier on my brain.
5. AC4 on PS4 looks good, like high end PC versions of ACs. High resolution really helps to improve IQ. There were few hiccups and framerate drops, but the demo was more than playable. Couldnt figure out the naval battle controls quick enough and my ship was destroyed on my first try.
6. War Thunder is really making a big deal from being a launch title on PS4. Looks like an average F2P MMO on a good PC, but I can see it being rather fun. Skill tree for planes reminded me about World of Warplanes, will see how this fight will go on.
Among other stuff, played PES on PS3 - it looks like crap. So low-res it hurts, really disappointing. FIFA looks more or less the same.
PS4 Camera is tiny. Really small.
Kinect2 works much better than the old one. Still some lag, but for many games its working good enough, I would say.
Took few videos but most of them turn out to be not that good in quality. Have one video of demo station booting up, took ~40s to game menu.
Ok guy, now post your impressions. I go to bed, work tomorrow
