PS4 dev, please copy this Killzone feature.

Guerrilla had to get permission from every company that would've appeared in the logo sequences in order to do that. So i'd imagine companies would start to deny that if more developers began to ask to do that.

Tell me about it. Also, Killzone SF was one of the few PS4 games that allowed you to pick whether you wanted to download the MP or the SP first

Its so good, and I had hoped it was the sign of things to come, but nope.

At the initial PS4 reveal didn't they talk about this being a standard feature for all games? I swear I remember Cerny talking about going straight in to the game.

Now I wish I had an option to skip the intro in Overwatch automatically instead of pressing X.
Uncharted 4 did that as well.

Nice. I got UC4 physical, so I guess I didn't notice
Bro,you need to be remembered every time you launch a game the name of the tree middleware. It's the most important thing ever.

I thought this thread would be about the touchpad, which nearly all developer use as a single gigantic button.

Modern Warfare 2 did this also iirc
I sleep in SpeedTree underwear. Promote that SpeedTree in the morning.
yes this was so damn good. if they need to show all that middleware shit I'd rather they just plaster it all over the main menu

Killzone did lots of things right, from how quick you got to the menus to how awesome their use of the touchpad was including the DS4 speaker for audio logs. Few games have touched how well they used these features.

Black Ops has this also, and GTAV did this as well, I think.
That's suspend/resume, no?
I think he said it can be done. And Killzone shows it can. But devs can do what they want as almost always.
The other thing would be game suspend. So you can go back exactly to where you left off. No booting everytime.

No, you're getting mixed up with suspend/resume.
TO1886 just has SCE and RaD logos on the water Galahad's head gets dunked in AFAICR.

It used to be part of the requirements for the previous consoles. I assume that is still the case. It is used to determine the primary controller I believe.
I had just mentioned this in another thread, but I agree other developers should get on board with this. If companies want to throw in their logos in the opening credit or at the end of the game, by all means go ahead, but don't make me have to see your logo every time I launch a game.
I LOVED how when you clicked on Shadow Fall, you were in the game in like two seconds. I had hoped and assumed this was going to be the current gen experience. But nope, pretty much every other game has assloads of tiresome advertisement splash screens at startup. Such a disappointment.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
I thought the whole thing where it boots directly to the game, was going to be a feature for all PS4 games. Guess not. Guerrilla Games are technical wizards though, that only Naughty Dog and SSM can rival. But Naughty Dog wants you to see that logo pop up when you start the game.

I would imagine most studios don't have the power/money to justify not having those logos.

It has nothing to do with technical "wizards" but all to do with paying for the removal of those logos during boot-up.
I think he was speaking more in broad term than just removing the logos.
I'd imagine they'd mostly not care largely because we don't. As a consumer, I don't give a flying fuck what middleware you used. Just let me play lol

Shadow Fall did a lot of things wrong, but UI and menus were not among them. Absolutely gorgeous and intuitive HUD and UI in that game.

Actually, you're all confused. I'm pretty sure that was Cerny talking about PlayGo, i.e. starting a game after only part of it has been installed/downloaded.
Couldnt they just plaster a bunch of logos all over the game's splash screen on the dashboard? Id much rather have a stupid looking splash screen with a few options below like "Continue" "New Game" "Multiplayer" then have a cool splash screen and have to wait through 7 middleware tool logos just for the opportunity to load up a lobby.

And fuck Black Ops 3 for having unskippable logos when every other game in the series let you skip them instantly.
