So you're going to install random code you found somewhere on the Internet onto your PS4? Great idea.

It was downloaded from the PS site and placed on an upload mirror. I'm not installing anything I'm perfectly fine waiting until the 15th. Figured I would let the guy know about it since he kept asking.

Just got an email from a best buy sales manager that they are inviting Me to a midnight release on the 14th and if I want to pre order any other games or accessories to email him back so they can process it. Also came attached with a pdf of games available on 11/15 but watch dogs should not be on there.

I didn't know you had to be invited. My local BB has been advertising the midnight opening for a month now.

I haven't gotten an email. Lucky you.

I don't think you have to. I didn't know they were doing it. I suppose the purpose of it was because I preordered in June I guess they are sending this email out in case you want to put some games or extra accessories for you on hold so you can get it all at midnight.

I feel weird about it so I'll just pick it up on the 15th since I'm off that day anyway.

so today i was in gamestop and saw the knack on demo for ps4. that was literally the only game i had any interest in for ps4. after watching someone play it, my interest is totally gone. i actually had no interest in even playing it after i watched someone else playing it. the game literally looks like a ps3 game, it was very underwhelming. the framerate was also not good. it is normally 30fps but dipped below that regularly, just on the very first part of the game. and it looked very slow too.

i hear it's the e3 build so maybe it'll be cleaned up in the final version, but it just looked totally boring as well when watching the guy play. there was a line of 2 other people waiting, and i didn't even wanna wait to get a feel on the ps4 controller.

It's mostly your standard platformer with what looks like button mash combat. Lots of jumping around and trying to avoid being hit. I went to a gamestop here in the mall and they didn't have a ps4 to try out.

yeah i'm not tryin to change anyone's mind or anything, just giving my opinion on it and that it unsold me from this game after seeing it. but the e3 build could be part of it. i remember the first r&c on ps3 had a demo you go when you reserved it, and the framerate was hurting on the demo, but the final product it was buttery smooth.

but the whole 30fps just looked like crap in general after seeing forza, ki, and fifa in 60fps.

Yeah I watched all the videos and couldn't form an opinion. I may get it if reviews are favorable but if its just average I will save my $60 and get something else. I haven't heard anything until now about the framerate.

Yeah I can't form an opinion of it either based on videos. It will prolly be a game I would need to pick if I'm going to the target sale. Either that or AC and I'm unsure about that too. But who knows what will be available when I get there Friday.

If knack is not getting good reviews I don't know what game to get instead. I want to wait for ac4 on PC, I don't know if I will play madden much as I am not a huge football fan, drive club pushed back, I really cannot support cod either lol. I dunno

I feel the same way. I know I'll play cod because it's by infinity ward and I like their games better than trey archs. AC will be the same thing we've played in the last series so yeah. I have bf4 and ghosts, watchdogs pre ordered with the PS4 at best buy but if I can snag the buy 2 get one free I dunno what else to choose. Was thinking of just cancelling watchdogs now since I'll have enough time to wait until it's closer to release.

Sports games for me are only good when friends come over to hang out. Otherwise they sit there unopened.

I'm still struggling to want any of the release day games. Seriously, I don't see any must haves and it sucks

Will need for speed be on launch day? I need to check some videos. I would rather they had gt5 for the PS4. I used to play Sega gt rally on the original Xbox. Put many hours into it. I'll probably end up with ghosts, bf4, and killzone. But these are all shooters lol. So if I can get a free game maybe AC or fifa 14. Just for some variety.

With your PC why are you even bothering with Battlefield 4 on PS4 at all?

According to Gamestop NFS will be a launch game.

I think I'm going with Killzone and AC for sure, but haven't decided on a 3rd game yet. Will probably just grab something on Friday morning at Target.

this is exactly the reason i'm 99% not holding onto mine, there simply isnt' anything on the console i want to play, especially after seeing the only game i had a slight interest in, knack, in person.

Lol because then I would have no ps4 games. Oh and probably because of my friends, would be nice to play with them.

If I get it on pc and target has no games left on Friday then I would only have the system and one game.

Always best to wait for this stuff. Let them work the bugs out, the accessories will come out, more games being released, etc.. I love coming in a few months down the road on my electronic gizmos.
