Choze Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Yeah i had fun at eurogamer. I played Killzone and Resogun. Both were excellent fun. So quite happy with buying a PS4 so far. Controller is a nice improvement. Its different but also similar. Touchpad is very clever. Triggers are actually decent this time but i am so used to R1 and L1 now lol. I'll give more detailed impressions later. PS4 stuff looked good graphically though. No worries there. Even Knack looked like a shrek Blu ray at times. The indie games were also good looking like high end pc stuff (Warframe and War Thunder included). Planetside 2 was missing lol. I wanna how those million particle explosions translate Some of the Xbone stuff was odd. Variable resolutions and Bf4 looked bad. Killer instinct and bf4 looked closer to 720p than 1080p. Bf4 was also very blurry. Low res textures. Worse than Bf3 low settings on pc in some ways... Hoping its early. 360 was also oddly out of action. Loads of PS3 instead. Which was odd to see. The wiiU was popular with kids. I think this was the most family friendly eurogamer so far. So it helped Nintendo i think. Tearaway was also awesome. they gave badges and a hat.

The Bard Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 My preorder hinges on this: are the analog sticks still deadzoned dinghies floating in a barrel of oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think he's asking if they're as loose as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Oh. Well I've never found them loose. Always liked the Dualshock 3 analogue sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 No what I meant is he found DS3 to be too rigid, and was wondering if they've loosened up with the DS4. But I may be wrong, its difficult to tell with that peon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The Dual Shock analogue sticks have always been the controller's biggest let down for me. They move far too easily making precision a lost cause at any point between 0 and 1. Not that many games make much use of analogue movement these days anyway.

Sheikah Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 ^ Heh, so some are saying they move too easy, some saying too rigid. Seems a personal preference thing to me. I've always preferred them to the 360 sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Nah the sticks are horrendous. They have colossal dead zones, literally bigger than any console you could care to name with analog sticks, and are far too loose. They make the whole controller feel tacky, and substantially reduce the accuracy you're capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I don't even know what you mean when you say a dead zone. You mean if you turn the stick in a particular direction, nothing happens? I've never experienced anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I didn't realise what everyone was on about until everyone started pointing it out (thanks, assholes). But they're there. From all accounts the DS4's sticks are tighter than the Xbox One's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I don't even know what you mean when you say a dead zone. You mean if you turn the stick in a particular direction, nothing happens? I've never experienced anything like that. It means that for the first X degrees, moving the stick will do nothing. The 360's was too small, as the stick could wear and the default position would be off-centre (resulting in you moving sideways). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hmm. I guess that could be a problem, but to be honest I never need to move the slightest bit that I could probably notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 When is this bundle going to go live? I want to do my ShopTo swap!! It's gone Live, at least at GAME. As Eurogamer revealed yesterday, retailers have begun alerting those who pre-ordered a PlayStation 4 about the new official bundle options that are available to them. First off the bat is GAME. It's offering an upgrade to the PS4 mega bundle, which includes the console, Killzone Shadow Fall, a second DualShock 4 controller and the PlayStation Camera for £449.99 - that's £21 more expensive than an Xbox One. Yesterday Sony UK boss Fergal Gara told Eurogamer he expected retailers to sell the bundle for £10 either side of Microsoft's Xbox One UK price, so GAME's offer comes in a little expensive. Also available is a PS4 with Killzone bundle for £399.99, and a PS4 with Watch Dogs, also for £399.99. The PS4 on its own costs £349 in the UK.
