IGN Editors First Weekend With PS4: "It's Pretty F**#@* Awesome"

In the latest episode of Gamescoop, IGN editors talk about PS4's first weekend on the market, and how the experience has been amazing so far.

theBAWSE4243d ago

still can't get over the lack of media functions at launch... the most basic of functions at that.. mind boggling

dnla, mp3 and the ability to read a USB stick etc

Sony need to get that patch out and quick

NewMonday4243d ago

the xbox editor said he is being spoiled by 1080p and it will be hard going back, some try hard to downplay it but to most people it matters.

abzdine4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

amazing console, i wish mine could come soon enough :'(
killzone ftw...
this is only beginning!!
PS2 is already beaten

jessupj4242d ago

Yeah, such a pity Sony was focusing on the games and gamers interests so much.

Not to worry though. I'll just play GAMES on my GAMING console while I wait for a patch for these secondary media features.

thereapersson4242d ago

@ THEBAWSE

You do realize that PS3 didn't have any of those features at launch either, right? And Sony has all but confirmed they are going to implement it sooner rather than later. So chill the heck out and be patient. A journey with PlayStation is not a short one, but it is a rewarding one.

qu1ckset4242d ago

@BAWSE
I'm having way to much fun gaming on my ps4 to worry about media functions, there coming eventually so I'm happy!

@abzdine
You will be amazed when you first start Killzone single player, the graphics are amazing! , but multiplayer wise I think BF4 is more fun! Get both bf4 and Killzone! ;) , knack is really fun as well!

TheGreatAndPowerful4242d ago

I absolutely love it, they do need to tweak a few minor things but that aside the system is awesome.

frostypants4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Yeah, because when someone gets their PS4, the first thing they want to do is use it as an iPod!
/s

NikonSteve4242d ago

Sony already said they cared about the game experience first, media functions later. DLNA is coming in a firmware update.

nveenio4242d ago

@NewMonday

Yes, the 1080p is MUCH better than I expected. It's a huge difference. It makes even sub-par graphics look that much better. I love it.

Kryptix4242d ago

@BAWSE

Don't get why you're so concerned about things that aren't centered to gaming. If you don't like that Sony put gaming first in a gaming console, then go buy yourself the newest iPod and never visit N4G again. You do realize without the patches, you can still play games on the PS4 but the Xbox One needs a patch to play games? Stop being delusional and think as a gamer next time.

ShinMaster4242d ago

Well, get over it.

Talking about it and listing things we already know about isn't helping anyone.

Heaven is only on high end PC. Not everybody can go to heaven though.

P$4 is more like a Disneyland.

Cuzzo634242d ago

Oh my lord. How do you pc power rangers slide in with that bull everytime. Don't you have a harddrive to defrag or a virus program to renew. I think we should all kno how much powerful the pc is especially when you guys state it in every comment thread.

Insomnia_844242d ago

Alright! Cool story, bro!

Now, shut up and watch me play this awesome game called RESOGUN that you can't play on your PC...

http://www.twitch.tv/insomn...

;D lol

Happy new gen everyone!

CapsLocke4242d ago

Insomnia_84

Haha, you can enjoy your game from 1995. I and my fellow gamers will enjoy TRUE gaming experience on PC.

kneon4242d ago

@CapsLocke

So the only true gamers are those that are moronic enough to spend the price of a small car on a PC for gaming?

kazuma9994242d ago

Hey everyone look at this dumbass :D he is actually on a ps4 thread trying to troll about pc lol I bet he has a ps4 and just too jelly to admit it.

Last_Boss4242d ago

Heaven must suck with no Uncharted alone, I think I'll stick my paradise plethora.

Please tell me you know who psygnosis is?

frostypants4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

And by "true gaming" you means spending 45 minutes every time you play Battlefield trying to figure out why Punkbuster is malfunctioning.

PC gaming = 60% fixing crap, 40% actually playing

Why yes, I do game on my PC a bit. I prefer consoles. Have ever since the 360/PS3 gen began, because that's when gap in gameplay began to close.

BattleTorn4242d ago

I never knew Heaven required so much troubleshooting

Master-H4242d ago

Heaven huh..so hows GTA V been treating ya?? Red Dead Redemption ? The Last of Us ? Uncharted ? Halo3 ?..yea..thought so.

WickedLester4242d ago

Sorry, can't hear you over playing awesome 1080p titles such as Killzone, Resogun, and NBA 2K14!

medman4242d ago

Said the guy who can't play Infamous. Or Uncharted. Or The Last of Us. Or God of War. Or Gran Turismo. Etc. etc. etc.....

Thatguy-3104243d ago

I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I recently got my curiosity taken care of on trying dc universe. So far I'm freaking loving that game. Has become somewhat addicting.

jessupj4242d ago

Apart from the launch line up they basically had nothing but praise for the PS4.

Mine should be arriving tomorrow. Very excited.

Rzep4242d ago

I miss the days when I got excited over consoles. Alas those days are gone, consoles became something which I have no interest in.

Rzep4242d ago

No need. Im just fine with my PC. It's odd not buying and console this gen though. Till now I had just about every one since Nes days.

Bathyj4242d ago

I wasnt dissing you your anything. I'm actually sorry that youve gotten bored with console gaming. Especially since youve been gaming so long.

Sometimes I worry if that will happen to me, but I think I'm good at least for the next decade.

boeso4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Sounds like you grew up! It's a trap!

Edit: Yeah I see what you mean. What do you mean by locked nature? Surely you'e after a locked console made to be able to take a disc and play games thats it.

Rzep4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Neh, consoles stopped being boxes to play games on. Now they have pointless feature upon pointless feature. I don't want social bs, I don't want the console to be an all in one media monster. If I bought one of the two new console I would feel like I am paying for shit that I just don't want in a console. The locked nature of the platforms is also keeping me away.

The portables also lost some of their charm...which sucks cause mobile gaming is not a valid alternative.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

darthv721d 10h ago

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

TheColbertinator1d 1h ago

I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly

PapaBop16h ago

^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.

S2Killinit16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.

Abriael15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.

It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.

If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.

In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.

The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.

VR was the best thing that happened to Ace Combat. You kidding?

yeastori14h ago

VR is perfect for this type of game wdym

Abriael13h ago

It's a perfect way to limit this type of game.

CrimsonWing691d 10h ago

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.

yeastori14h ago

I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
