Sounds like Sony needs to update the demo offerings ASAP after launch.
What Agros was that? I'm getting my arse down to one of their stores if they have PS4's to play!
Have you played FIFA on current gen consoles? How different was it?
So I played Knack today and I was VERY underwhelmed visually. I wasn't expecting that. I double checked the TV model to make sure it supported 1080p and sure enough it was the KDL-32W650A. 1080p LED.
Textures seemed flat, simple geometry, and I just noticed lots of jaggies or blurriness. I don't know what was going on guys, just didn't impress me at all. Combat was very basic too, I kind of got bored after 10 minutes. I'll get this game but probably only after it reaches $20 or so.
I will say the Dualshock 4 felt absolutely spectacular in my hands. Extremely ergonomic, the sticks felt nice and tight which was a VERY welcome change to the looseness of the Dualshock 3. Awesome triggers, touchpad felt so good, handles felt perfect. Can't praise it enough.
Think a lot of people are going to be surprised by the high review grades knack will be getting. I think they are going into expecting a totally different experience. The game is good, a kick back to the older platform playstation games. Many were itching for this type of experience and when they finally give us it, they whine.
It's odd how Sony's setting up tons around big cities, and close to nothing anywhere else. The only ones in New York State are in New York City. We don't have anything in Buffalo or Rochester.
Less than two weeks out and still none showing up in Chicago? How is that even possible?
Yeah it needs Killzone in there.Not me, I'm disappointed in the games they're demoing

Still nothing here in the Orlando area aside from the Sony store that I'm not going to drive to. Less than two weeks....
A lot more locations added it seems. Plenty more here added In North Jersey.

I hope it was an old build, but if it is, I'd question the competency of Sony in this regard. Putting an ugly old build of your game on your demo units that consumers will try out is completely illogical.
2 gamestop 2 hours from where i am set up their kiosk. 10 days to go. i'll just wait lol.
Knack is just such a poor choice for prospective system owners. XBO is handing sony it's ass in the hands on marketing.
Location is finally up at the Best Buy on Elston near North Ave. Likely going to swing by tomorrow and maybe pick up Killzone if it's still in stock.

The interactive display is the kiosk in the OP while the exclusive experience is the Canadian pop up stores with Killzone and AC4 demos.What's the difference between an interactive display and an exclusive ps4 experience?
This is what I like to hear. Hype train expressThe store I work at got the PS4 station set up. The console looks very small and the controller feels light and it just feels good. Everyone I spoke to about it was very impressed. FIFA looked good. The visuals on all the games were very sharp. KNACK impressed me. It seems deceptively simple but there looks to be more to it than what it first seems. It is hard and reminded me of crash bandicoot a lot.
The PS4 is small guyz
There were lots of kids around the booth and they loved Knack. I asked them to start Drive Club, but they said that they had already tested all the games and Knack is the best. ^_^

Translation;Kan retail uitkijken naar PS4-demo-exemplaren?
"Uiteraard. Het uitproberen blijft superbelangrijk. Er gelden wel andere regels voor de PS4-demo-unit vergeleken met die van de PS2 of PS3. De winkels die er een willen hebben, moeten bijvoorbeeld voorzien zijn van WiFi of een internetaansluiting. Als de klant dat niet kan garanderen, dan gaan wij de demo-unit niet leveren. Doordat er constante verbinding is, kunnen wij de demo-units voorzien van up-to-date content."
Can retail look forward to PS4-demo-units?
"Of course. Allowing the consumer to try it out remains hugely important. However, there are some different rules in place compared to the PS2/PS3-demo-units. For example, stores that want a PS4-demo-unit need to have WiFi or another internet-connection. If the store can't guarantee a connection to the internet, we won't supply a demo-unit. Because of the constant connection, we are able to continually provide the demo-units with up-to-date content."
Fun fact; only stores able to provide an internet connection will be able to get a PS4 demo-unit. From an interview in Entertainment Business (Dutch magazine);
