The combat was so much better than Killzone 2 and 3, with almost all of the loose controls gone. Graphically the game is amazing. Chapter 4 looks better than anything I have thrown at my gtx 690 at max settings.
I guess not playing the other Killzones didn't prepare me for the pace/flow of this game. I don't necessarily like my hand being held along the way, but at least tell me what you want me to do, game. Moving power converters around is a totally new mechanic the game doesn't bother to tell you even exists until it expects you to do it, and it's totally up to you to stumble upon it.

I got to a bit in Chapter 7 where it's just a massive wave of enemies coming at you and would last 15 minutes each time before finally being overrun. After an hour or so of failing that and having to start it all over again, I was done. There's probably some big gun in that area you're supposed to man and murder everyone with but I never saw it.

re: PS4 Release Thread: Kill Launch App #Driveclub due October 2014!!!

The only thing I can imagine is for emulation. I had one back in the day and it was incredible for that. I had so many games loaded on my PSP. I wish I still had it for that one reason alone. It was a stupid mistake to sell it. I have no clue how well the one that you may be able to buy in stores today works for that purpose, but it's all that I can think of.

How many chapters are in Killzone SF anyway? I just finished chapter 4 or 5.

98,712 people in N. America bought a 360 last week, 384 people in Japan bought one. They're not real strong in that market, it seems...

Just saw the IGN review for NBA Live 14. Damn...I was hoping EA would get their heads out of the asses and produce a good NBA game after skipping the last few years. Looks like this one is as bad as their previous recent attempts.

I'm surprised they sold that many, didn't they pull out from that market some time ago?

I mean, this article was back in 2011:

I have a feeling I'll stick with Battlefield, but I can see me playing Killzone a bit as well when I want to play a CoD style shooter.
I am..or was till I played Resogun and then gave Warframe a try. I liked what I saw and cannot wait when they get the co-op and so-called Horde mode up...still haven't heard any word on that. Visually it's a stunner. I know DICE and BF4 has always been for "lighting" but Killzone has to be right up there.

Well looking back I guess I made the right decision to get the PS4 and not wait....because according to just Gamestop there are 2.3 Million Gamers still waiting...

GameStop: 2.3 Million Gamers Still Waiting For PlayStation 4s

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...tation-4s.aspx

Haven't seen any figures as to those who did any pre-orders thru Amazon, BB, Target or Walmart still playing the waiting game.

re: PS4 Release Thread: Kill Launch App #Driveclub due October 2014!!!

I played a bit of Killzone. I've got one problem with the new controller. The lip of the circular area around the d-pad and the buttons. On the DS3 it is nicely rounded. On the DS4 it is annoyingly sharp. I notice it every time my thumb brushes against it. Stupid design choice. I'm going to have to fix it.

Killzone is OK so far. A bit difficult compared to most shooters. I like the OWL, even though I often forget about it.

I wish this gen would fix the problem with voices dropping out. Some of it is clear, some of it is inaudible. The logs which play on the controller's speaker are the clearest of all.

I feel like a flat out moron. I had no clue that "Live From Playstation" was even a thing until just now. I mean, I knew you could stream live and watch it from a computer, but I had no clue you would watch streams directly from the PS4. That is incredible.

You're not a moron. They're not great at telling you what all their fun new things are.

I mentioned it a few pages back. I think it's going to sell a lot of games.

I might still get Knack at some point, because when I watch people play, it looks like fun.

The DS and the Wii are also not real popular in Japan... the PSP outsold all 3 combined... 4:1

Wow the Vita almost outsold everything else combined...

Yeah I think it's more along the lines of the DS and Wii have reached their saturation point.

Wait for $30 or PS+ freebie. It's not near as bad as reviews would have you believe, but it's not a $60 title either. I got it for $30 (courtesy of Target's deal) and that feels about the right price.

I got a text from the Best Buy Gamer today saying they would have Playstation 4 consoles on 12/22/13. Limited quantities.

December 22nd or November 22nd? December seems a little late for holiday shoppers, unless it's all in-store.

Can you watch your friends play their games through the PS4? I have been looking around the applications and can't find where to go to watch streams of your friends playing games.

I thought it would be off the friends list, but have yet to see anything like what was shown...

That's probably part of that "game sharing" feature, that let's you take over a friend's game, coming down the line.

As for now there is no way to watch streaming via the PS4? Does it have to be viewed via PC?

The Live from Playstation tile selection is for the streams.
