[@EricCarter12]

What's really exciting about the next gen consoles is that launch titles never EVER push a new system anywhere near it's limits. Killzone Shadow Fall looks like the best game ever made and its just astounding to think that the next gen consoles are capable of so much more than what Killzone had to offer. I am really excited to see what happens. Could you image if Rocksteady's next game title would be for the next gen consoles? They should be able to make a full and very real looking gotham city that Batman can interact and glide in. That would be amazing!

[@Milkiy-Hazard]

You were completely correct

[@PCGamer77]

I'd definitely be interested in a video explaining the PS4 livestreaming.

[@Chakeis]

Besides the technical advancements, I don't really understand why to pick up a console at launch. If a game like... say Uncharted 4 were a launch game, I'd buy it day one. I think Sony should've focused a little more on securing a system-seller right off the bat instead of doing tech demos and feeding new sites with hardware info. Oh that and I'm cheap! haha

[@bodine1231]

If you have the money why wouldn't you get one at launch? There isn't going to be a price drop for another 2 years so might as well get one now if money isn't an issue. I didn't touch AC4,Battlefield or Lego Marvel on the other consoles so there's 3 really good launch games that look amazing.

[@Chakeis]

bodine1231 I Kinda like bundles so I'll wait anyhow

[@kraftytactics]

***** I understand why people don't buy games at launch but we have known its coming for over a year so I just put aside a lilt money each month and saved up. Gutted I have to wait another week to get it! Damn UK release!

[@apinat8727]

I will buy it at launch (29.11 in EU) cos i am impatient :D,

[@McScroggz]

I actually disagree. Having a strong launch line-up doesn't matter much in the long run. However, if there was a game like Uncharted or inFamous: Second Son that was forced into being a launch game they wouldn't be as good as they would have been and could hurt the franchise. And ultimately I don't think it would have increased sales much because Sony can only produce so many consoles early on. Sure, I'd love to have a Super Mario 64 or Halo: CE in terms of all-time great games as a launch game, but I know the games are coming and they aren't all bunched into two seasons with the rest of the year barren.

[@CoffinSkate]

I played about a minute of Knack when I recently went to Best Buy. The controller felt soooooo good in hand, and the gameplay was really fun. I didn't expect the game to get bad reviews though.

[@basman2006]

I so don't give a shit about the new consoles. the graphics are slightly better but they already were so good that i don't care to much about the difference.

[@basman2006]

***** Man, your not easily satisfied. The last ones looked amazing, I don't want consoles to look any better then they already do, I don't want to not be able to see the difference between my friends and game characters. And I certainly don't want game developers to work forever on a game or make it cost way more because they put to much work in how it looks

[@Fikakillarna]

The graphics does not matter regarding consoles, the reason you get a console is for the games.

[@Fikakillarna]

***** Sure, having amazing graphics is great. Though that is not the reason I play on consoles. If that would be my goal, then I would have played on my PC.

[@TrophyEnthusiast]

You obviously haven't played them ;P

[@Palidor]

I wont be buying a PS4 until something actually good comes out.

[@jagdiggarstoratuttar]

***** uncharted 4

[@MrDjdecks]

Not getting a PS4 because none of their launch titles interest me and none of their future ips interest me.

[@Auron710]

theres not anything on any new consoles worth buying it for but id play one if it was free

[@havokpsygnosis6792]

Very good review of the launch titles. Mirror's my own thought's on them really. I'm fairly excited for the next generation.

[@75ThunderMonkey]

I'm surprised he didn't have more to say about the fell and quality of the machine and other stuff in the box. In this video he talked the whole time about the games and interface.

[@davidfof13]

Hi I just discovered your channel. I'm one of those gamers, like you, who really appreciate the graphics in video games. I notice people tend to really neglect graphics because we have reached standards now where we are used to see high quality hd gaming but I was already mindblown seeing the trailer of Killzone, FF15, MGS phantom pain, BF4. Those games look really, really impressive

[@edwardruane5035]

I've canceled my PS4 Pre order. Not excited about any of the launch titles and I'm getting AC4 on Wiiu. I'll get PS4 when MGS5 comes out.

[@ThePolarKuma]

same here i want one but i dont think its worth it right now and ac4 on the wii u is freaking good

[@mjalter1]

ThePolarKuma Yeah, the animal crossing plaza is really good on the Wii U.

[@edwardruane5035]

ThePolarKuma It's probably worth noting that I am primarily a Nintendo fan, but also a Sony fan and anything else that is good. No gamer bias... I was litteraly banking on a next gen version of Watchdogs and Driveclub as my PS4 launch titles, both have been delayed. I find myself wanting an Xbox one much more due to the likes of Forza, DR3, Ryse, Killer instict , Titanfall etc... But I refuse to pay £430 for the Xbox one considering I absolutely do not want a Kinnet in my Household :) . Wiiu, 3DS and Gaming laptop will do until PS and XB sort their acts out!

[@daKandiman14]

Your avatar is a lie.

[@edwardruane5035]

daKandiman14 It is what it is.. Serious yet sarcastic maybe. I don't take things like that seriously lol, Wiiu is great and I just love the ''it prints money'' pics.

[@pennypeach7616]

I want a PS4, but not until it has a hefty library, and not until it has most of the hardware bugs worked out. I plan to buy it in 2015. For now, I'm buying a new PS3 (mine died over a year ago) so I can play Ni No Kuni, Dark Souls I and II, and The Phantom Pain. I pretty much passed over the PS3/360 generation, so I'd say I have plenty to occupy my wallet and time without adding PS4 into the mix. Great video, but I'm still not going to buy one until at least a year into its life cycle. I also would like to get a Wii U, mainly for the Virtual Console. I hope there's more TurboGrafx games available for it; I'm really loving the selection on the original Wii's marketplace.

[@mohammedmahameed9082]

you only say that cuz your not getting one dude

[@pennypeach7616]

CM PUNK Um, no shit? That's the whole point of my post. I don't care if I get one or not. New hardware does not impress me. I've been playing 16 bit games for the past year and have only just started missing playing Dark Souls. Some gamers don't care about the new generations. Some of us grew up playing Nintendo and Sega consoles. That's what I like. ;)

[@jrod3466]

CM PUNK I think we all should just enjoy gaming no matter w hat console we use and relax if you got a next gen like the ps4 as I did enjoy it if not enjoy what you have

[@herbpartee2288]

Penny Filkins Who cares what you play on. Pc,PS4,Xbone,Wii U. what matters is that we are all gamers! We all have a hobby we love to enjoy. i mean sure companies did shady shit, PS3 in 2006 and Xbox ONE in 2013. But in the end. We all enjoy to play. No matter what.

[@pennypeach7616]

***** I doubt if I'd be making a huge mistake. There are many Wii U games I'm looking forward to. I know of only 1 or 2 Ps4 games that I want.

[@cyde79]

The main character of Warframe reminds me of the game MDK and its main character. MDK and MDK II were fun on the PC back in the day.

[@TheBestDayEver3]

Watching this is the perfect way to end my Sunday evening. Thanks Pete!

[@thomasstodghilliv]

I'm getting a PS4. Thanks for helping me support Knack after its negative reviews.

[@MrPumas100]

I notice u kept telling us to buy knack and kill zone just because of the graphics... What ever happen to gameplay first?

[@empire0]

When they showed the first guy to get the PS4 on TV, I expected Pete's smiley face.

[@MrTokedo]

I held the Dualshock 4 controller at bestbuy, and unfortunately they are still too small for me. which was a huge upset for me. it was improved however compared to the awful Dualshock 3.

[@Darkglobe1977]

You had me at cyborg ninja's.

[@alexanderzane35]

Another great honest review from the infamous Pete Dorr perspective-thx!

[@dave4shmups]

Now I want a PS4! Excellent first impressions video; the best I've seen yet! Nice job Pete!

[@SurfcasterX]

Do you really not think of Wii U as current gen, Pete? I'm speaking of Wii U/PS4/Xbox One as current generation now, with the Xbox One so close to launch. I totally admit it's not as powerful as what Sony or MS are offering, but neither was the Wii compared to the 360 or PS3. I still think of it as current gen, myself. Just wondering, because you mentioned "next-gen" starting with the PS4 a few times. That Warframe game sounds pretty awesome. I tend to steer clear of F2P games, just because I feel like they'll eventually sucker me into buying stuff, but if I had a PS4 that game would definitely entice me.

[@Jbayz]

SurfcasterX is wii u still a part of this gen?

[@justineddy]

Loving my ps4 too! Great video pete! I miss the days of waiting in line for consoles. Kids have it too easy these days!

[@spencegamer024]

I agree with you on the review for Knack. That's why I'm excited for new games like Driveclub and Infamous: Second Son to see if they are better than Knack.

[@parraboi1]

I love resogun. I have barely touched this genre of games before, but it has me hooked.

[@play4xo326]

I got my PS4 at midnight on launch and for those complaining that its stupid and are going to wait and say there isn't much of a difference are dead wrong.. The way Killzone opened up with the rain drops dripping off the characters was incredible. You could see each individual drop and each reflected off the lights from the level. It was absolutely astonishing. The graphics are so much better than the past gen. The textures of the uniforms just everything is so detailed, to be honest who cares if you think its stupid because your going to wait a year for the price to drop only $50 playing on past gen graphics. I think the PS4 is defiantly worth buying early. And pete they said there wont be an update for about 3-4 months. I just bought a HDMI converter and it works great :) And its only $22 on amazon.

[@Williamsdarren6]

the ps4 works with the el gato hd, try it

[@Mephianse81]

I really enjoyed Resogun, Master is indeed hard. If you ever want to play ONLINE COOP send me your PSN name

[@DEEdavE]

great video pete. u do a great job putting ur impressions into words, it seems that its all in one go too, awesome.

[@ChadKenova]

I liked killzone, think its underrated. Its one of those games you show to your friends to show them next gen graphics. Yes its your basic shooter, some people say the levels are confusing but i think thats better than linear go straight ahead. The most impressive thing in killzone is the lighting, man the god rays are amazing. Haven't played the multiplayer yet so I cant comment on that but most people say thats the best part. Overall its a great launch game worth playing

[@icebergthegamer]

I can't pay $60 for a tech demo. Shoulda been a pack in game or free with plus. Resogun is so good. I haven't tried warframe or the other free game. Keep forgettin the name. The controller feels great. Just wish the thumb sticks were slightly bigger. The ui is smooth and quick.

[@HiddenAdept]

I'll definitely get this as a birthday gift to myself next April, my brother got one on launch day and was showing it off, lol. At least I can 1UP him in savings at the store I work at part-time I get 30% off employee discount. Pwned.

[@richardsalazar1368]

Like your take on knack. Knack really impressed me too

[@geoffreyhdavey]

Will look forward to that Warframe video. I've been loving it so far.

[@PeteDorr]

Anyone that plays Warframe on PS4 add me on PSN and send e a friend invite in the Warframe game.

[@ProjectReality64]

you didnt try the remote play which is a great feature?

[@bigserg5587]

Hey if any of u have the ps4 is you're "what's new" and info on the bottom of every game appear? Cus mine did for the first day and it don't do it no more;( I'm kind of woried...

[@marcgiroux8426]

Yeah they disabled it because of the PSN being slammed, it will be back eventually. I thought maybe I hit some setting on accident, but it just it down for right now

[@sonickun95]

I want that Jack Frost statue at your shelf! The SMT series is awesome!

[@HotdogVT]

Hey man there is actually a work around for using a capture card, you can use a HDMI Splitter I believe, been watching a lot of videos on it seeing as I'm in the UK still have a long week to wait and it definitely works

[@saneless]

Nice video man! Perhaps the most informative thus far, I mean all the official videos dont do that much for the player, only like for the average consumer. But once I noticed, could not stop staring at the Syndicate box :) When are they gonna hd remake that shit! No to the fps syndicate, but that original, its fuckin dope! :D

[@ds90seph]

I bought myself a launch PS4 as well and I'm really loving NFS Rivals right now, I was surprised you didn't mention it since a while back you said you'd pick it up at launch. Do you think Flower would be a good buy for me since I never played it on ps3?

[@DarkKnight702]

you didn't show the boxes also so we could see the box art ,Xbox ones you did

[@Not2NerdyENT]

The PS4 UI is nice. I like everything about it so far. I have footage of it on my channel in case anyone wants to look at it. But I hope you are enjoying it man. By the way, Resogun is addicting.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Cannot wait until the 29th!!

[@RetroDemoScene]

Will probably be getting one come Xmas. (long waits in parts of Europe) However... the current gen is keeping me more than busy.

[@9ElevenGamer]

Why did you not show any footage of anything?

[@goldtalon44]

Standing in front of his Sega stuff, while wearing a Nintendo shirt and talking about a new Sony product. Classic

[@coolguygrant77]

gamestop was gonna have some this morning went to the store 10 minutes before opening and there was already 15 people there. fuck still cant find one

[@evilet1111]

Can you sort/categorize your game titles large icons?

[@jayrock277]

I dunno why you think they'll patch in hd vid cap. They said the console at launch wouldn't have hdcp but they lied and it did.

[@Huddy40]

i want to get a ps4 but I'm having a hard time getting excited about the "next gen" simply because my home pc is more powerful then both consoles so the whole "next gen" graphics dont really have me excited. The next dragon age will be amazing but again will play on pc, any software worth buying a ps4 for other then killzone because killzone does look sick

[@vincentalonzo9252]

Warframe is an amazing game. I played it on my PC for awhile a few months ago.

[@LotteYanson]

Pete you are the biggest gamer I know.

[@richiedurnal6242]

thanks for the info since I'm still undecided on which system I want. (Maybe I'll get both eventually.) You're game room looks amazing- can I come over and play?

[@ArcadeMagician]

1:02 What? Illegally? Now I know why you wearing a helmet....

[@nostalgia_factor]

I have Knack, but I haven't put it in yet. Been too busy with Killzone SF. I'd kind of like to try co-op.

[@seraphimax]

Dude! I really like your collection!

[@markguest36]

Just a thought as Sony invented the Blu-ray disc does Microsoft have to pay Sony for using the Blu-ray format.

[@HMSGamer]

Hey thanks for the video! it's awesome... Could you do another one about the games for the PlayStation 4?

[@Sc0pee]

It seems that Wii U is still strongly on the competition with it's great upcoming and current exclusives.

[@16BitBrothers]

Cheers for your take on things Pete :-)

[@TheAradar]

So, are you not going to try out Assassin Creed 4 or the new NFS?

[@KinectAddicted]

Good Review Bro hope to see you at Boston pax next year again, Are you getting the Xbox One?

[@AmericanMan961]

I FREAKING LOVE MY PS4 and knack its amazing and killzone shadow fall is god damn amazing!

[@sakonpure6]

Is the wobbling problem true and that serious?

[@gomez1323]

The wobbling problem isn't serious. There are three feet on the bottom of the PS4, but only on the side that has the matte finish. The glossy side has no feet underneath, that's why it wobbles.

[@jasonmarkham2592]

Can you get Resogun fir the Vita?

[@BaleshNTP]

If you thought Killzone was gorgeous, you should play the Battlefield 4 campaign. Both good games

[@7d7e7f7]

Xbox 1 definitely has more exciting launch titles and features but well have to wait and see if it can follow through, I have high hopes for it though. What I like about the PS4 is it's sleek design and simplicity with technical power.

[@nookie077]

I've played knack and didn't think it looked all that - not the technical showcase you are describing.

[@Ruko]

I want a PS4 but there's really only one game i want atm which is Resogun, i can wait for a while until there's more to choose from, kinda like Wii U which already has at least around 5 games i really want.

[@JudgmentGirl]

I'm not entirely sold on the PS4 just yet; although so far so good. I put my review online today if you're interested in the female perspective :)

[@jagdiggarstoratuttar]

Judgment Girl featuring Wicked City Girls im interested. not because of your opinion but because of the boobage

[@emilnissila5038]

Are you maybe doing an updated xbox 360 and ps3 collection?

[@4390BigBoss]

I want a PS4 but I want to get an X1 the same day so i'm gonna hold out for some price drops

[@matthewjames3637]

Please make a video about your Xbox and Xbox 360 launch memories.

[@bendover5289]

I've been playing for hours on end with my PS4.

[@MisterEclipse96]

You could have just recorded the interface with the share button. Then you could pull it from facebook with a program or website that does that and edit it and upload it.

[@xbradx11]

xbox one is better an lets u record it i got one an i luv it!

[@imSulfurate]

xbradx11 PS4 is 50% more powerful, has the great Sony exclusives that will be coming and it's $100 cheaper. XBone is pretty much just an overpriced CoD/TV/Sports Box. I'm pretty sure which console is better. Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't come out until next friday... so not sure how you have one...

[@mcstyle24]

xbradx11 PS4 can record stuff. XBOX1 is better? Please don't bullshit yourself.

[@MrDjdecks]

imSulfurate I love when Sony fanboys make up a whole bunch of facts.

[@MrDjdecks]

***** At the minute atleast for me Xbox has the better exclusives Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Titanfall etc. Not to say PS4 won't have any just there not out yet.

[@RememberPluto]

Resogun and Contrast are by far the best game on the system were the lackluster titles were from big companies Ex: Killzone and Knack.

[@seal3081]

pete you should think about getting anti reflective glasses.

[@loudest_of_noises]

It's the first F2P game you've enjoyed?!?! Have you ever played TF2? I know you're not really a PC gamer Pete but just check it out. It may be old but it's still one of my fe pyrite games ever!

[@jatongaming3349]

I'm getting the PS4 in 5 days but for now I have an Xbox One unboxing if you guys want to check it out!

[@GNARK1LL420]

live streaming is nice only thing that annoys me is they shrink the screen of the game play on your tv

[@PeteDorr]

Only if you enable comments. You can just open up a laptop or tablet and watch the comments on that to play in full screen. You will give u the convenience of having the comments on the same screen however.

[@icebergthegamer]

One thing that has me worried is the exclusives. So far we get a killzone which I wasn't too interested in back on the ps3. We get knack which I don't care for at all. Now we get another uncharted game announced. It's more of the same from last gen. I need new

[@leonvanbezoen131]

you can record with the share button

[@Master-Mo]

I want one but it is hard for me to get one when there is not evenone game that interests me that is next gen only... I'll probably wait til I get a bundle with a game I would love to have!

[@nickj4785]

I cant see why you would buy one of the new consoles now. Like you said, most of the games that are interesting comes out on ps3 and 360 anyway.

[@LotteYanson]

I'm probably not gonna get the PS4 until Kingdom Hearts 3 or Tales of Xillia 2 come out for it. Those are the kind of games I'm interested in.

[@MrTokedo]

me too. but i read somewhere online that those games will be coming out for PS3 instead. not sure if that was true or not though.

[@MarkoPolo530]

OMG I WANT THAT JACK FROST FIGURE!!!!!! and i hope atlus' anouncement for the 24th is about persona 5 and for it to be released for vita or ps4 lol.

[@patbokezaa]

Wii U is next gen too I think it is console for kid market ,fun game

[@FloridaMan-q2h]

Got my ps3 when mgs4 came out, will do the same with the ps4

[@edwardcoyne1759]

How is it?

[@oasisbeyond]

This gen key word... Particles.

[@Darkklowngod5]

2 great games people here should know about upcoming very soon on ps4: Metal gear solid 5 part 1. Infamous Second Son.

[@LBEDZKI44]

Whats your PSN?

[@chikifree]

I like my ps4 but I find myself getting bored pretty quickly

[@cookieness5958]

I honeslty loved knack.. I beat it and i hope they make a second one.. Killzone was really fun to. Plus great online.

[@B33FY2011]

I haven't seen enough to go out and get a next gen and probably won't till this time next year until I see a real jump in the quality of the games. There is not much difference that i have seen between PS4 and PS3 so until I see a drastic change than I am staying where I am with PS3.

[@jagdiggarstoratuttar]

B33FY2015 uncharted 4 baby

[@B33FY2011]

***** I gave in on launch day and got my PS4 and then bought my son an Xbox One for Christmas just gone so have them both now although I haven't played on either much. I tend to still use my PS3 a lot more than both PS4 and Xbox One put together but that has slowly changed with the addition of TLOU: Remastered and Assassins Creed Unity in the past week.

[@megaprimatron1]

Your psn name please? You seem pretty cool and no bad language. Great review my friend. I subscribe and like!

[@GrayWoIf]

I wont get one until they make a slim version and hopefully it'll have better games by then I have played Fifa and Knack and they look good

[@ShortFuseFighting]

we'll see what SNK does for KoF 20th anniversary....then,i'll get a ps4

[@ChadKenova]

I just got my ps4 a week ago, im gonna grab a one soon as i sell my vapor x 7970Ghz. I grabbed a ps4 first just because i was more impressed with the specs and form factor, i wish it had a launch lineup as good as the one. Really want to play forza and dead rising, only game i picked up was killzone. I have a gaming rig with 2 classified 780's so all multi-platform games im picking up on pc like bf4, cod ghost and ac4. And another reason i picked up the ps4 first is that some of the one's exclusives are also coming to pc, cant wait for titan fall. Microsoft made some bad decisions with the one, first using ddr3 ram, then having to use esram to give the ddr3 more memory bandwidth, and because of the esram they had limited die space and had to use a smaller gpu similar to a 7790. While the ps4 used something more similar to a 7870 and gddr5 ram with much faster bandwidth. Neither system is that powerful but the ps4 does have a nice advantage in gpu power.

[@4390BigBoss]

how's killzone, worth getting?

[@CelluloidPsychosis]

Hey Pete, do you mind if I add you on PSN? I don't have my PS4 yet, but I'm probably getting one for Christmas this year. You seem like a pretty laid back guy I'd love to play online with sometime!

[@beatlesq8]

the best thing is your tshirt
