He said the pad was fine but then again he's an eggbox fanboy!

Hardly. I just really dislike the Sony controllers up till now.

Had a good mess around with the pad while I was waiting for Dead Rising 3 to load which seemed to take an eternity and I probably looked like an idiot while I was sitting there waggling sticks and mashing buttons.

The pad was fine, couldn't spot any issues and when playing it didn't feel like I was using a vastly different pad to the 360 one which I suppose is a good thing. Bumpers were fine, a little stiffer than the 360 ones but it wasn't noticeable at all when actually playing.

The sticks were also fine, I've seen comments from some people saying the sticks were loose but I didn't notice that. Maybe less tension in them but they're no less precise than the 360 ones. They did feel shorter than I'm used to, especially as I use KontrolFreek thingies on my sticks for my 360 but again, when actually playing the games it felt fine.

D-pad? It's a d-pad, I rarely use the damn things but it seemed fine

I never got to try Ryse as it broke or something and I couldn't be bothered hanging around eating free mars bars and crisps all night while they fixed it

Might try and get to the PS4 lock-in at Gateshead as I'd like to get a go on their new controller but I know Soulja is going to one tomorrow so he can tell us how it is.

What about graphics?

Impressed?

Sod the bumpers what where the triggers like in comparison to the 360's! Could you feel any difference in your arthritis ridden old man fingers?

 

[Soulja]

Don't lie wydro. You are the biggest xbox bummer on here!! I'm looking forward to trying the ps4 pad tomorrow after hearing all the positive comments about it.

Dead Rising 3 was quite impressive, tons of zombies on screen. There was a little slowdown when I ploughed into a ton of them in a car but that was the only slowdown I noticed when playing. Forza is Forza and Killer Instinct didn't really impress me. Never got to see Ryse running at all.

Triggers were fine, didn't notice anything bad about them at all.

Right.

 

[Soulja]

God you're a miserable git today.

 

[silversurfer]

no camera pics allowed I guess.

a little slowdown when I ploughed into a ton of them in a car

unacceptable

Forza should be good on the physics if its good at all. Otherwise its just PGR3 8 years on, which is fine but of no importance

 

[Wyrdo]

No, we weren't allowed to take photos

God you're a miserable git today.

PJ's fault, he just forced me to play co-op leagues on FIFA. I'm currently de-raging.

 

[dannyjo22]

unacceptable

I'd wait until someone younger plays it to confirm the slow down was the game and not his old brain trying to process the boredom that comes with a zombie game

Slowdown wouldn't surprise me it's an early title, the 360 took a bit of time to get over the horrific tearing and instability of early titles. Wing Arms was horrific.

I've just cancelled my PS4 preorder due to Driveclub being delayed and no real launch titles and ordered an Xbone bundle with Forza and DR3, and still guaranteed for launch day.

Where from if you don't mind my asking? With respects to competitor mentions of course.

If you wanted one there is only one SHOP I'd go TO.

 

[Davey_Pitch]

Lol, luckily you can mention ShopTo, otherwise that is nowhere near subtle enough not to earn you a suspension

 

[MarcLister]

Thanks. Already ordered mine. Hoping I'll get it on launch day or near enough.

Haha.

I wasn't sure and couldn't think of another way to word it.

 

[TommyV]

Just pre-ordered, excited!

 

[Red and White]

Can we have a poll to see what games people are getting at launch? Really don't know what to get now watch dogs has been delayed.

 

[antijoke]

I'm getting Forza (free with console) then ghosts and will get DR3 a week or so after.

 

[joedeath332]

I just hope to god that Forza 5 does not get delayed now,, that is all us racers would need
What with Driveclub for the ps4 getting delayed ,,and GT6 not coming out on the PS4 but instead the PS3 .......

Seems bizarre that Sony are releasing GT6 on PS3 in the same month their new flagship console is released! Maybe they're hoping with the delay of Driveclub it will stop racing fans switching allegiances and buying an Xbone instead.

I can't help but feel that Sony have known about the DriveClub delay for a months and are just playing for time. Given that MS have been showing completed demos of Forza for months now and are offering it as part of the bundled day one consoles

I can't imagine there's any chance of it being delayed thankfully! Hopefully that statement wont jinx it and come back to haunt me
