I'm a bit biased since I don't like console shooters but I gave this one a chance and once again Killzone fails to impress. Part of my problem with it is I don't like being forced to use the touchpad for selecting OWL modes but it's only a minor grievance. More importantly the gameplay is super bland: send OWL to do something, sneak past or shoot enemies in the back, rinse repeat. Surprisingly the game doesn't exactly scream next gen in the graphics department either, but I'm probably jaded given I'm used to PC graphics. Environments also feel too artificial and 'clean' if that makes sense, unlike a game like Last of Us where everything is alive and organic. It's just one of those awkward launch titles (you know the type) where developers are still exploring what the new console can do and the quality will just take time and experience to improve. That said, I only lasted about an hour with the game and will probably sell it soon.For those of you that have played Killzone Shadow fall. Is it worth the $45 newegg wants?
So having had some time to digest the PS4 UI and play around with it, I like it but not so much the social branding. I could personally do without all the 'blog wall' interfaces on games and the main UI. I don't need things to look hip; just an interface that has a top-down menu list will suffice guys. The absence of themes seems like a huge oversight considering how they're quick to nickel and dime you for such things in the PS Store and I miss my Dark Souls themes already. Other than that, things feel more streamlined and intuitive. It has a very PC like feel in that you can run games in the background and alt-tab with the PS button to manage things like the store without needing to quit out first.
So question about sharing: I recall Sony saying the last 90s or so is always committed to streaming memory in case you want to capture a moment and make a VOD, but what about recording something for longer? I haven't set up my Twitch yet where you can probably do that on their end, but what about youtube? TBH I didn't mess around with the share button really at all, but if anyone has some knowledge on what it supports I'd like to know how to go about doing stuff like that. Ideally if I could record footage and then transfer it to PC for video editing that would be sick.
