As y'all know New York Comic Con is going on this weekend. A poster named "Willstyles" on another forum I regularly post on said he was able to get his hands on the PS4 & play some games.

Since no one has created a thread on GAF to give PS4 impression at NYCC, I thought I'd grab some of his quotes & create a thread:

finally got my hands on the PS4

First off, watchdogs is so meh...GTA done shitted on it and set it on fire.

My first impression. Though it was only like 20 mins the controller was really on point. I felt like xbox and ps3 had a baby. My only problem is the back sensor, besides that it was cool. Knack is meh, killzone was
and they just showed us drive club and it looked like current Gran turismo. I wanted to take pics and videos but it was private room in NY comic con. I was asked questions about ps3 launch, current gen games etc.

Once I told them I had pre-order the ps4 and paid for it in full and was a member of us.playstation forums since 03, they had to let me in
Gamer Advisory Panel ftw...


I dont know if microsoft had the xboxone, cause that sony shyt was hush hush, I mean like I would have never noticed if they didnt randomly pick me out of the intel gamer event. I did get a 20 playstation plus card though
should be in the mail soon.





Willstyles said:
oh yeah, strider is a most copp, i played it for a like a good 5 mins. It was a open booth for it at capcom





Foxy said:
That Strider game looks amazing
Willstyles said:
it was hot man, the controls and the gameplay are perfect.
diggy said:
oh shyt

aint know they made a new one....just checked youtube, lawd
Willstyles said:
man listen...
its a fun game.

The combo systems reminds me of strider from MvsC, I just it had the air joggle



Regular_P said:
I don't want to hear that Watch Dogs is meh. That was the PS4 bundle I had to pre-order to get one at launch.
Willstyles said:
compared to GTA5...it had a spark, now its just garbage



satam55 said:
I feel sorry for "Watch Dogs". It has terrible timing for it's releases. Where did play the PS4 at? NYCC?
Willstyles said:
NYCC secret booth





MeachTheMonster said:
Can't wait to play strider.

Did you play a mission on watchdogs or just free roam?
Willstyles said:
a side mission with a dude trying to kill his wife





Willstyles said:
Killzone shadow is dope, my only issue is its too straight forward and the lone wolf mechanic makes it feels like halo.

Controls are pretty much the same
GoldenGlove said:
How many players were in the matches you tried?
Willstyles said:
it wasnt online, it was single player

Painful to read. Lost me at this:
"First off, watchdogs is so meh...GTA done shytted on it and set it on fire."

Having tried the game quite extensively at several events, not much credibility is left after that (and the painful grammar).

Interesting... I was there for all 4 days and I scoured all the game pubs for hands-on demos and none had PS4s set up. Ubisoft had a closed theater for Watch_Dogs with prerecorded gameplay. Sony and Microsoft weren't there. Nintendo, along with Capcom and Bamco were the only ones that had any demo units set up (no Xbones/PS4s though).

That was hard to read but the bit about Watch Dogs doesn't surprise me for some reason. Its the AC formula all over again.

There were no PS4s. Strider was being played on PS3s and 360s. No next gen consoles were there, that's why there is no thread about it. I looked around and asked and there was nothing there.

I don't think next-gen console were playable publicly, to my surprise.

I played some games at Pax Prime already Resogun definitely looks fantastic and it's free with PLUS so I can just play that.

To be fair in the most recent watch dogs threads on here that has been the general reaction from most of the posters in it too. Bad grammar aside it seems to be a growing opinion across the internet.

Mind posting your impressions? I'm still looking forward to it but it does get me down hearing all these bad impressions.

Yup. It's not going to live up to that reveal trailer.

I predicted Watch Dogs was going to be shit last year. Ubisoft loves making flashy first impressions to get the hype train going but really there is no substance. The gameplay they showed at E3 looked boring frankly and it looks like another oversimplified game with lots of handholding so casuals can complete it with ease. Also there is no way it will have the level of details and amount of content as GTA V so expect a barren world. They should have put all of their energy into making Assasins creed IV the best it can be since at least it has its own unique niche.

My interest in the game has waned, but checked out the closed door video presentation (because didn't really know what to expect been to some before that was live game play)

And had an introduction video.. and thought was funny because the director was talking about how this was different from other games.. and how in other games you follow the yellow dots because it told you what happened next, but not in Watch_Dogs

So they start the gameplay demo.. and first thing they show.. is a yellow marker telling you where to go for your next mission....

Also, and could have been the computer, but lag and freezing during the video presentation, which I thought was odd
