That being said, it’s immediately clear to me that this is the ideal way of experiencing it the frame rate is perfectly smooth, the graphics are simply astonishing (colors are vibrant (that water!), draw distance is vastly improved, textures are sharp and detailed, and don’t get me started on the foliage), and the difference between the PS4 version and my shitty PC version is night and day. It’s basically a time-filler until Tomb Raider and/or Battlefield 4 arrive from Gamefly. I don’t really know what to say about AC4 at this point I’m not really sure how much of it I plan on playing, being that I just finished spending 60+ hours with it. I’m not telling you anything that you might already know – I’m just saying, it was shocking to see how fast everything was happening.Īnd along those same lines, playing/installing Assassin’s Creed 4 off the disc took almost no time at all, either. (Whereas on the PS3, it might still be downloading.) Netflix and Amazon both downloaded and installed seamlessly, too – and without the need for a verification/validation code, which I believe I needed for both the PS3 and the 360 apps. Getting back to that setting up – man, Sony’s really picked up the pace with the PS4’s download speeds! The Day One patch (which I think was up to version 1.52 when I got to it last night) was somewhere around 300-400MB, and it downloaded and installed everything within 5 minutes. At least the console’s in place, set up and ready to go. Indeed, the next big title that I’m looking forward to is… the super-deluxe-pretty Tomb Raider release, which is a game that I do in fact like quite a bit but have already beaten twice. My PS4 arrived yesterday afternoon, and I’ll be damned if I wasn’t as giddy as a small child on Christmas morning when it finally showed up.Īnd after getting it all set up (which took almost no time at all, surprisingly enough), and then downloading Resogun and playing around an hour’s worth of Assassin’s Creed 4 (again), I come away feeling two very specific emotions: (a) relief that I’ve finally entered the new console generation, and (b) some disappointment that there’s not quite anything new and dazzling to play just yet.
