Only in Forza from what I know.

he probably hasn't seen it.
Sounds good, thanks for the impressions!
What was the framerate like? Is it 60fps or 30? I swear I can remember hearing it was 60fps from somewhere.
This your first time with the controller? You feel the same as everyone else about how good it is?btw, no-deadzone DS4 is godly. Especially for racing, really noticed that in Driveclub, as well as proper R2.
They tried to sell it to me as the PS4 version - I used a PS4 controller - but I could see the pc it was plugged into hidden in a box
hm? Where did you play it? I did it in Sony booth, and pretty sure there were a row of PS4s with AC4s running.
This is important too, if its the same I can already feel how my fingers will get tired and hurting because of this.
Natural position for the triggers fingers are a must.

When was it used? Did you "feel" when the car accelerates and brakes on top of when you hit a curb? What about if you hit a wall or another car? Spill it all!
It definitely is, but it seems that the analog sticks have a slightly smaller radius now

Which track? Prague again?
Laguna Seca. Plays just like Forza
No idea, but it looked fantastic.
Both are great, but I liked the DS4 better.
(I played this gen almost exclusively on 360..)
Ubisoft booth.
I thought Housemarque said it wasn't twin stick?
Need impressions from
At best from people who tried the normal non FullHD Devkit and can compare it too the FullHD one
Queue was too long, didnt make it. :/

Thanks! How many tracks were playable?
No way is AC4 60fps. I can't even get solid 60 in AC3 with a good PC.

Was it the same demo shown at E3?
Well, it is. Fly with left, shoot with right. thanks to DS4, you can change directions in no time, very small movements required.

I heard the X1 triggers have almost no resistance to them? Is this true? Did any of you like that about the triggers or not?
What games make use of the DS4 touchpad? Gimmicky? Useful? More than menu navigation?

I was a little bit disappointed from the Xbox One controller and loved the Dualshock 4 controller from the first touch. That comes from a so called Xbox Fanboy. I preordered both console's and will keep it that way but the Ds4 feels ace. The Xbox One Controller has bad lb rb buttons and the analog sticks are to loose like the DS3 ones. But I liked the Ryse Coop Gameplay it looked ace and was fun. The first game on the Xbox One was Lococycle
That worries me a lot -- I like the sticks to be as tight as possible. Hopefully it was just a slight hyperbole on your behalf
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.
Awesome, thanks! Resogun is definitely my game of the show.

Yes. And I waited 2 hours to see it because some stupid pr person told me it was new...
It was played live at least and had some different guns.
according to an assassin's creed 4 thread from around e3, assassins creed 4 runs at 30fps/1080 during single player on ps4 and runs at 60fps/1080 during multiplayer on ps4.

Had the game screen tearing?
Just looked it up - apparently only the multiplayer is running at 60fps at the moment, 30 for the single player. Damn
Edit: Beaten!

It's true. But I didn't have a problem with them.
Didn't play anything that made use of the touchpad.

No deadzone? Stiff sticks may be redeemed for me. I can't wait to not struggle with aiming precisely.
Yes same game parts but live played.
They are dampened at the full pull of the trigger though correct?
Titanfall
I wonder if remote play is PS4 <-> Vita or is it Ps4<------ Internet------> Vita
Were you able to sample remote play at all, OP?

Did you like the DS3? It seems like all of the impressions from the DS4 come from people that didn't like the DS3 at all. So it's kinda making me concerned since i'm someone that really likes that controller.

I love you Germans by the way (i'm assuming you are). I'm part German on my grandmothers side. I always wanted to try the food there. I heard it is strange. I'm sure there are neat sausages, chocolates, cheeses and pickled things I would love from there.

its very interesting reading everyones impressions in here. makes me feel like the odd man out. i switched from playing fps games on xbox to ps3 cause i prefer the loose sticks so much better. they are harder to use at first but provide a better input for really subtle movements. kinda scares me that the ds4 is tighter.
my impressions:
didn't play too much by myself, but have seen quite a few games.
Mario 3D World: looks crisp, but nothing to spectacular. Very charming visuals. Gameplay was grat fun with 3 people, but a little bit chaotic (even more than NSMB imo). Glas Pipes felt like a great addition, cat suit was fun. In Single player the camera is not completely free adjustable, it changes the angle in steps. The 8 way movement did not really disturb
Mario Kart 8: Plays like Mario Kart and looks stunning besides quite a bit aliasing (don't know if NIntendo just uses shitty TVs or way to high sharpness). Butt criery smooth 60 fps as far as I can tell
Batman Arkham Origins: Didn't really feel a difference in combat to the rocksteady games, another Arkham game. Imo a little rough in the visuals (again, maybe the TV was shit)
Fighter Within: looks crisp, plays like shit. Maybe the room where it is demoed is too dark, it is a Kinekt based game. Does Kinekt use IR light to be independent from the lightning conditions in the room? I don't know
FIfa 14: Didn't really feel the need for the nextgen version over current gen. Looks crisp but not miles better imo
Rayman Legends: Plays great and my friend who played murphy in one level with some deadly light had great fun too
All the nextgen games I saw had a really great IQ and ran smooth, but wasn't really blown away by anything I saw. Looked like current gen on steroids and higher resolution imo. Did not see Killzone or Infamous. Also Didn't see Titanfall before someone asks.
Personal most appealing game from a visual standpoint: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Really stunning game, sadly didn't play it by myself

i haven't used the ds4 myself, but i've yet to hear from anyone that prefers the ds3 to it. it seems objectively better than the ds3. i wouldn't worry.

sure. i would try out Destiny but i dunno if it's playable.
So is it shooting in all directions, or just front/back? Thanks.
Didn't pay attention sorry, but they felt good - no need to worry
Great thanks.
