Finished KZ campaign last night, it was great, best KZ campaign yet and a wonderful visual showcase for the PS4. Probably not going to touch multi with BF4 and COD sitting at home though.

Resogun is crack and oh so pretty.

NFS is best racer on next gen, so much fun! It's a looker also, but I wish that EA didn't hold back the PS4 version, 60FPS would have been godly.

AC4 looks almost night and day between 720p and 1080p once it's patched. I have never played an AC game in my life, so i'm coming into the series fresh with this game, it seems ok so far.

Is that the excuse you're going to run with? They're holding back. :lol:

DF analysis showed the game has the exact same slowdowns and frame drops across both versions. Don't think 60fps was ever on the table here.

It was 900p actually.

I'm surprised it even made it for launch on xbone, the game was MIA for a long time and looks to be 900p from the IGN comparison. They were showing off the 900p PS4 version for months before launch on PS4.

Yeah, of course. BF4 performs much better on PS4 and is running the same engine as NFS, but NFS is identical on both? If anything the PS4 version should be rock solid with no slowdown. EA are bestys with MS, so not surprised parity is maintained.

Ah, so it's day and night between 900p and 1080p then? Wow! Hate to see what 720p might be....

You logic makes no sense, if EA were seeking parity for political reasons, they would kept BF4 at 720 as well. Both games were shown early as 720p, obviously DICE got their head around PS4 much quicker and were able to up the res to 900p.

I'm hearing talk of a 900p patch for bone in December. I think it might coincide with MS releasing an update to free up more GPU resources, currently the OS locks away 10% from games.

BF4 was probably EA throwing Sony a bone (or Sony paying for the privilege) after the Titanfall and FIFA deals with MS.

Do you know where your ps4 was made in, BigSwingingUdders?

Some are made in Japan, just wondering what batch we'll get.

Mine is from China. Most of the Amazon launch models are Chinese made, explains a lot ;)

The Japanese consoles should be more robust.

Yup, I caved when Amazon had extra stock up on the US launch day, so I got it delivered last Friday and cancelled my JB order.

I'm not sure where the AU stock is manufactured, but I can find out tomorrow for you no dramas.

If it's not that much trouble, thanks. :P

Glad your ps4 import worked from Amazon. A whirlpool user bought a dud off amazon, and when he rang up Sony Australia they didn't want anything to do with it including repairing it.

Why I'm kinda half glad I didn't get one of Amazon.

When's it out here... Friday? Have a pinball comp Sat. but maybe I'll track one down either Friday arvo or Sunday so I can squeeze in one day with it.

Pinball Arcade's not out for it yet, is it?

Big W have PS4 games at launch for $68. There is also a 10off120 voucher you can use to buy online and pick up in store which makes the $63

Might cancel my order with Video on back order Ezy.

I sent them a nasty email because their website is shit and has zero info, they apparently got my DR3 copy in but BF4 won't ship until the 29th now. Bigw deal is great as long as you can get there early.

Just a heads up that the VideoEzy online comes under the same group that runs the Blockbuster site, EzyDVD, WOWHD etc. They're a tad incompetent across the board in all divisions of "Élan Media Partners" to say the least...

Does it work?

Well on the status page it still says going through customs so I reckon you go home at lunch and check. Just updating to 1.51 now.

I did have 1.50 update on a USB but when I connected to my network it asked if I wanted to update so I am.
Took a bit to find the power on button as it's on the front but only by touch. I was freaking out that I got a dud but it seems to be working so far.

Lol local catalogues flogging PS4 are pimping Drive Club and Infamous because the launch titles are complete non events.

Not to mention the PS4 camera (which is the biggest webcam I have ever seen) is $79 taking your PS4 (with inferior 3rd party games) up above Xbox One pricing.

Sony have got your back gamers!

I thought the inferior third party games were exclusive to xbone?, plus you also get the aggressive sharpness filter and black crush to make up for its shortcomings - so it's win win! :)
