You have budgets for both games? This is a rather uninformed post when both are different types of games.

So the Multi Touch Pad worked well? I missed the broadcast, are there any gifs of multi touch pad use?

Oh man, swiping different areas of the touch pad gives out different taunts. So dumb, but pretty funny.
Day one launch too!

I think is the same they showing now.
The game is very fun, one of the best cod clones out there.

Same.
it was off screen
I mounted my HDTV on the wall to where my eye level is at the middle of the screen, so there is no way the lightbar will reflect on the screen unless I hold the DS4 up near my chest level.
So, by having the controller in my lap, it will be too low to reflect. Oh, and no schoolboy error here.

It's been confirmed that it cant be turned off. I'll just take care of it myself:
...or the devs will. It can be turned off via software.

I'd love to mount my TV like that. Would be very "cinema." I doubt my landlord would see me punching holes in the wall in the same way though.
I can't say I've heard that. Have a source? Because it was my impression that this wasn't the case right now.

swiping to taunt looked fine, its on the end game screen when it shows the winners on the screen
pinching to bring up the score is a great idea since there is no select on DS4, though they had trouble pinching "out" . it seemed to take a few goes to do but i highly doubt thats anything to do with it working or not, probably just doing it wrong cos they started getting shot whenever they stopped...wadaya expect, its an FPS

I am confused on what makes this game so special. Where the fuck are the bullet points for this game. I need my bullet points.

Is this confirmed? If so every game should have this in the options. Maybe at some point if a lot of folks start complaining, Sony does it through an OS option. Not a big deal though.
Then you better burry the controller in your lap, and have your lap/legs block the light simple like.
In a perfect world I would hope all devs would give the option to turn the light off in every game, but we are far from a perfect World.
Someone needs to tell Sony this. However, I'm smarter than a light, and have an easy solution.

Wow! I can't say I've ever seen that. It's good to read that devs have the option to turn it off.
So it presents a few possibilities then:
-Devs could potentially give you the option to turn it off in the game menu.
-Devs could have it off by default for most single player games because the "player number" isn't important in those scenarios. (Or I suppose they might choose to leave it on if they have some sort of unique use of the light, such as what you saw in this demo).
-Devs could have the light off until multiplayer modes are started.
I'm still personally hoping there's an OS level setting for it, but maybe that's not practical of some devs want to use it and personally choosing to shut it off would get in the way of their game design.
Then you better burry the controller in your lap, and have your lap/legs block the light simple like.
My screen is very matte and I never play in the a totally dark room, so I doubt I'll see any reflection regardless. I would prefer it to be up higher just because I would like the viewing angle.

Console wars aside for a second.
This game is a contender for worst netcode of the generation on pc, I wouldn't get too excited about playing this it's fucking shit. Think brink, but worse.
It being p2p for the ps4 version, it's going to get even uglier.
also whoever designed the stupid lightbar on the controller is an idiot, I have to turn off my hallway lights when watching tv because the living room door which is 15 feet away is made from glass and it will refract some light from the hallway into my tv...
I know said some genius designer, lets shine a light out of the thing you'll always be pointing directly at the tv.
Planetside 2, world of tanks are games you should get excited for, if they ever port vindictus or path of excile over those are games you want to try too, but retribution is guttertrash.

It's funny, the conversation was generally pretty civil and measured until this post.

Gaf being Gaf as always.
The usual way. Additional weapon slots, xp boosts, cosmetic crap, etc. The most important thing is that the game remains balanced, that lvl1 players can hold their own against highlvl players.
SneakyStephen has been trying to take Derrick01's negativity crown lately.
If I heard correctly, it sounded like they want to separate gun/attachment unlocks from the pay stuff.
Nice.
I really hope it works out for all the developers taking the gamble of going this route.
Wait, really? Holy crap I figured it was a night map.
I'm confused. It looked like dawn gameplay.
If they can make the light turn red, dim, and change in general as they are already doing, they can obviously dim it all the way down as well. Seems like common sense, whether we had official confirmation or not
Why would a F2P developer ever want a paywall in place for their games?
OT but
I'm renting right now and I have one of these on the wall
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WXH1Z2/?tag=neogaf0e-20
When I leave I will just fill the holes up with some putty.
AS for the DS4 light I hope they give the option to turn it off, additionally I hope there is an OSD for the battery charge info for the controller.
It had nothing to do with HDCP, they just weren't able to record a direct feed off of the early dev kit they were using.
Kinda? It's still supposed to be much brighter than what's shown in the stream.

They wouldn't so essentials all F2P games are playable without PS+.

Stop being silly. The online runs just fine on pc, games take literally seconds to jump in to. I'd almost never been kicked from a game in the year or so I played BLR. The game is extremely fun, and camping free thanks to the visior.
The problem with this game lies in the fact that Perfect World eliminated daily weapon rentals several months ago. You can only rent guns on a 7 day basis now, which pretty much limits weapon experimentation because it costs too many of the credits that take many rounds to earn.
Hopefully this doesn't happen to the PS4 version.

Its actually not a cod clone if you're familiar with the mechanics of both games. BLR has very very tight hipfire compared to COD and even ADS gun mechanics differ. BLR and COD have too many differences to call it a COD clone. No killstreak rewards, hp doesn't regenerate to full, team based gadgets in BLR such as team healing and revival, HRV (the wallhack mechanics), a higher TTK generally speaking, weapon customization is crazy in depth, armor customization, and much more.

I've played Blacklight: Retribution on PC and consider it pretty impressive. I'm looking forward to the PS4 version.

The youtube version doesn't look 60fps to me. Can you even see 60fps on youtube?

Not my cup of tea and it seemingly needs work.
No direct feed streaming is a HDCP issue?
