Incredible game. Tons of fun and imagination. Insanely good image quality for Vita. Must-buy.
I gotta say, I'm dying to know how much Sony spent on improving their controller.
Too bad we'll probably never know.
Totalbiscuit just upladed a video with impressions. They told him it was running the PC build and it sounds like the frame rate was a little spotty. He played it but didnt mention anything about limited players. It could have been because of the non-operational demo stations.
He also says he preferred the triggers on the Xbox controller but liked the PS4 controller a bit more.
Does it actually specify that the demo is running on XBOX One or is it simply a case where they are using XB1 controllers? EA did this at Gamescom quite a bit but they never denied that we were looking at PC versions.
I questioned them on this at the NFS Rivals demo and they told me that it was easiest to show the game on PC but they wanted people to get a feel for the new controllers. Outside of those controllers, it was never specified which version we were playing so they weren't exactly lying.
I had thought that BF4 was running on a PS4 devkit at Gamescom, though.
Yup. I saw this with the Second Son demo as well. They were still finishing the setup when we entered the room.

Im assuming a lot of devs are rushing to get the next-gen versions up to snuff, I feel like the current-gen ones are really the focus.

No one's saying you are. You are not the only one at PAX. We're just pointing out that something is not right here, and that if both Major Nelson and the guys on the official BF twitter said a beta build was going to be shown and it turned out it wasn't, then someone screwed up big time.

Hey I just was excited for the impressions of a 64p online BF4 demo that major nelson advertised and it isn't being shown, yet.
I don't care about the controllers, I just need to hold them myself. I just had to correct the guy who basically thought the controller had to be better because of the money spent on it....its all opinions, no matter the money spent on developments...
Just stop.
Not hyperbole. If you want an early taste of the Xbox one controller, go find a store that sells pdp trigger grips for the vita and try those. They X1 controller feels kinda like that.

Damn, that is pretty disappointing. Hopefully that isn't the build they use for the beta lol...
He liked the PS4 thumbsticks* a bit more
Its his opinion, when you try it go ahead and post your opinion?
Wouldnt you think he has some idea having tried it?
Why should he stop hes posting his impression?

Major Nelson implied on his blog it was for Xbox One cause he was advertising it...
Except you've tried out the controller, you should stop. That's my opinion, if you don like it, feel free to ignore it.
It goes beyond being just somebody's opinion when he's saying he *guarantees* that everybody will prefer the 360 controller over the new one.
Surely you're not really defending this guy? :/
Come talk to me after you buy your x1.

Well, I'm curious, because you said this before:
But apparently you missed some pretty big names:

Don't really see the issue, the X360 controller was considered to be one of the best ever made, you don't think messing with that could have affected some peoples perception of it?
And why are you so bothered by it? As other people have said tons of other people have posted/talked about their impressions, a lot of them were positive.
Have you ever recommended someone something, a restaurant or a movie and "guarenteed" they would like it? Its a fairly common phrase, I've used it myself. How dare people do that.
So what if somebody does buy an XboxOne and likes the newer controller better? Will you admit being wrong? Or are you going to call them a liar?

I didn't mean to refer to your post. I was agreeing that GAF loves hyperbole as a word. Then commenting on how silly the console hate is for a mature in tune community like GAF.
I am sorry it came off wrong. I didn't intend to offend you.

Why is that?
Yeah then. They either accidentally got the wrong demo (how does that even happen?) or they're all lying out their asses.
You mean they'll have an opinion, like this guy? Damn man. I didn't know they could be different!
Can you shh please.
I'm trying to read PAX Prime impressions and youre muddying this thread up complaining about another member. A member who is posting his impressions btw.
Oh I have no problem with admitting that I was wrong if someone prefers the X1 controller. That being said, it's highly unlikely. As far as I'm concerned, the 360 controller is the best so far but I haven't tried the ps4's controller so we'll see.
I'm not sure but I think PS4 development cost around $115m, it seem low to me but I remember reading it somewhere.
EDIT: WRONG, found the article, it stated that PS division loses increased by 114m due to the inclusion of PS4 costs.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/421934/playstation-losses-jump-on-ps4-rd-costs/
It's not like I was being an ass or fanboyish in what I said, right? I'm saying the DS4 finally reaches 360 controller levels of greatness, but the Xbone controller doesn't really match my preferences and hand size.
Let's stop being so absolute in these terms.
Look at the picture the guy posted with the two controllers. The shape is different. The X1 looks more like a trapezoid and the 360 one looks more rounded. The trapezoid shape affects how you hold it.
that's a big problem if you ask me.

oh ffs, if you want to debate about controllers, there is a fucking thread for it

Its highly unlikely that ONE person will prefer the newer Xbox controller over the old one?
Holy crap.
And wow at people defending this nonsense. I don't see the problem with pointing out when people are using hyberbole on this board. I'm sure if somebody was saying something as laughably negative about the PS4, I'd be jumped on immediately.
Its one thing to post your impression and say YOU prefer the old one. To try and state the new one is objectively worse kind of ruins my ability to take the 'impression' seriously.

Hahahahahahahahahaha....
The demo at E3 ran on an AMD 7990 which is two 7970s on one card just to run it in Ultra, good luck.
I instinctively reached to press select to check the scoreboard in Killzone and was totally confused when it wasn't there. It's going to feel weird for a while. Clicking down the touchpad in different places for different functions is really cool though.
Bro I'm done. Find someone else to troll. Time for me to leave this thread.
EA was responsible for the demo, though, right? Major Nelson probably didn't realize that it wasn't XBOX One.
Trolling? Wow.
Say some ridiculous nonsense, get called out for it, call the other person a troll. Haha.
It really depends on how you hold the controller, as for me it is a huge deal because I have big hands and I always press the triggers (DS3 or x360 controller) on their top edges, anything else cramped.
Safe to say people getting a few minutes with the successor to the 360 controller aren't all going to come away satisfied. It's different from the thing that was extremely good for 8 years. Give your hands a week to adjust when they come out, and if you still hate it then that's that.
Ya that's one thing that's gonna take a little bit to get used to. Forgetting there's no select and such.
Do you have a response to the other guy about the trackpad bending over the top of the controller? Could you feel it on your fingers in the back like he did? He said he kept wanting to peck at it with his fingers while holding it. Seems kinda weird to me since it's so high up but was wondering.
As for the Xbone impact triggers--they have to be specifically implemented in a game for them to be utilized...or else you just get normal rumble.
Like 3 different people have told you to shh or that it's his opinion so far. Take a hint.
