Playstation 4: Thread 02

[saturn-gamer]

Knack has always looked bad. Its sterile and simplistic. I sort of expected this to be hammered. I didn't buy the Cerny hype, the guy has a great track record but Knack looked uninspired.

Killzone SF seems to score somewhat below my expectations, but then again I think Guerrilla are a rather overrated developer. I would've been surprised if they can create a killer app after all that inconsistent mess they created before. They get so much time and funds, all they could deliver was Killzone 2. A good game in my book, but nothing we hadn't seen before. A lot of other developers out there are able to put out a game like that when they have so much resources on hand.

I think the average scores for both games turn out to be quite right in the end. Polygon has a track record of underscoring PS titles, but in the end I did agree with their God of War Ascension review for example.

I guess like all reviews they are all just opinions, not that im saying any of these games are groundbreaking or anything but even so. Plus im not as trusting in paid review sites, i value much more what people say in these forums.

Me too. Commercial Games reviews are influenced by many factors and not least the critics views and opinions don't always line up with my own. A real value of NTSC-uk for me is that there any experts on these boards who's opinions and first plays are worth more to me that the PR stuff that is supplied to review sites. So I love places like EG for the hype and videos, but it's here that I get the views of interest. Launch day is different as i have committed to several games, so hope they deliver!

The EG walk through was fun, and Ollie said a few things that were encouraging about KZ, and it should be a great experience.

Personally I'm not not bothered about the missing features but hearing "it'll be patched in" so often makes it sound like these consoles are incomplete and being rushed out.

Xbone doesn't even play games out the box, kinda defines the meaning of a rush job.

No stellar reviews but then it was clear that there'd be no generation AAA killers. I'm not expecting the XBO exclusives to fare any better score wise but it's a fair spread of decent games I haven't played so nothing to complain about. Knack is the only one to weigh in poorly but at this point I reckon sod it, it's clearly basic but still different from the other games. I won't be playing it solely either so the repetitiveness won't be as heavy hitting either so I'm going to stick with the preorder. And in the First Play my choice for top score is 10-Pleasures my Knackers

So it'll be:

1. Kick in the Knack-ers.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. Pleasures my Knack-ers.

I love how the best received game is a defender clone. Retro gaming for the win.

It's 1080p therefore it wins.

[capcom_suicide]

It's 1080p therefore it wins.
