*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

And real game footage. :D:

Loving the theme for this game lets hope its a killer title1

Somebody posted some info from the magazine on neogaf:

In concept since 2005
Trailer graphics are what you can expect it to look like in-game
Everything in the world is rendered with soft body physics
Metal beams react for example to magnetic forces, bending and shifting in real time
Incredible attention to detail: Lens flare catches light as you rotate the camera, oil lamps flash independently in an underground scene, light bouncing off every object provides uncanny realism, insane attention to material detail like wood, leather and cloth.
Clouds and particles of dust float around lamp flames, subtely settling down on the camera lense
Ready at Dawn spent a lot of time making the weapons unique, giving each personality. Grounded in understandable science but also have behaviors that you wouldn't expect
Examples of guns: Arc Gun like you saw in the trailer, Combo Gun has two different settings, you can blow enemies back with a non-lethal charge to make space as well as using standard rifle fire, Thermite Rifle can shoot a chemical onto enemies, using secondary fire to shoot flares to light them on fire, frag grenades can be used typically or hoisted onto the environment via spikes
Around 7th or 8th century, humanity splinters, with many getting 'beastial traits', becoming 'half breeds'
Thus begins the conflict
Humanity basically forms a version of the Knights of the Round Table, in this case, The Order to fight off this enemy
Through a strange turn of events, they discover a substance called "black water", giving them unusually long lives and unique ability to recover from injury
The Knights continue to age, but at a much, much slower rate which they use to battle for centuries
It's basically a curse given they continuously see everything around them leave and die off, it's both a salvation and a curse for them
This leads up to the 19th century and the changes facilitate the unique futuristic Industrial Age you see before you
You play as Grayson, known as "Sir Galahad" (guy with the porn stache)
A new threat emerges as parts of society (humans) begin to rebel against the rulership and are disgruntled with the inequality between layers of society
Battle scenes are chaotic and exciting, with use of cover, somewhat similar to of Gears of War
Ready at Dawn took a unique twist to QTEs, sometimes melee attacks occur during gameplay, time slows down and you can rotate your camera and find different things in the environment to give you an edge. These can range from dodging a punch or grabbing an improvised weapon for example
Focused on a very strong story driven single player now, not willing to talk about any multiplayer
 
My only concern is the dev really, the concept sounds great but they've mostly done handheld games.

True, but is development for the playstation handhelds THAT different from console development these days (in terms of the actual game design, not architecture)?

This will be certainly be one to keep an eye on, it has potential but it could also go wrong.

Just spoke to someone on live chat at shopto, looks like all the mega bundle emails have gone out. I ordered in May and have missed out :(

Hope I get someone's rebound as I have all the items ordered individually.

I ordered on the 22nd February and I didn't get one either..
 
Anyone who hasn't got the bundle email from Amazon yet and use gmail, it may be worth checking the promotions tab, as i almost missed it! (my pre order was placed early may)

Thanks for this - just checked and the email from Amazon was sitting in there. Have been complaining to Amazon why I have not received it too and it has been sitting in my Promotion tab since 7 Oct.

Now to decide on which bundle.

Never played Killzone and have heard good stuff about Watchdogs.
 
It's not a PC and I doubt you will notice any difference in game anyway. Each will have exclusives that make use of it's hardware and take advantage of what each has to offer.

I was merely stating that once you add all the extras to a PS4 that you get with Xbox the cost soon adds up.

I have both ordered so will enjoy games on both.

?

PS4, 2 games, (Driveclub and KZ.) 2 Controllers and Camera is £20 more than the Xbox with 1 Controller and a 1 game.

Or substantially cheaper if you have no interest in waving your arms around in the living room.
 
Is anywhere still actually accepting pre-orders for launch day now or all sold out yet :) ?
Doubt it. You might get be able to get one before christmas still, but launch is pretty much impossible now. You might have more luck walking into a shop on launch day.
 
Shopto seem pretty confident, don't think they'd offer a fiver credit to everyone that misses out if they weren't sure they could fulfil orders. Saying that it could also be a sneaky way to ensure people buy something, even if it is discounted by £5.

Might just be wishful thinking on my part since I only placed my order in the last couple weeks, but I have a feeling there won't be any real shortages. Sure, some places will sell out, but I think there may well always be somewhere you can buy from, probably thanks to delaying the Japanese launch. Might not be quite PS3 availability where you could walk into basically any shop anytime after launch and easily get hold of one, but totally sold out everywhere is also unlikely I reckon.

Order placed on 11 Jun 2013 on Amazon.

Not had an email.

Just an update for people who are waiting for Amazon upgrade emails. My email finally arrived today at 16:59 (it didn't hit my spam folder either).

I ordered June 11th pretty much straight after they announced the prices on the E3 stream.
