Kotaku, gamespot and IGN have just reviewed the PS4, knack, resogun and killzone.

Knack 4/10
Killszone 7/10, 8/10 from IGN
Resogun 8/10

I have played Resogun and it was very similar to geometry wars which is fantastic. It was good fun and looked nice. No interest in knack what so ever and only managed to watch live gameplay in front of me of killzone. Looked nice but nothing new gameplay wise.

Different people experiencing broken ps4's. Both gamespot and IGN had broken consoles that wouldn't work when they were trying to review the games and had them replaced by sony.

Some competition winners have had the same thing. Story here:

Hope this isnt going to be the case with these next gen consoles! ](*,)

With new consoles there's bound to be a few teething issues.

Why? They're both now effectively PC's in a box, it's all off the shelf components now, no one has re-invented the wheel here.

PS4 for me. Moved to Xbox this gen and loved it, never really wanted a PS3, missed out on GT5 though which was disappointing but forza 2 was great at that point, then 3 and 4 came out and im so bored with them. Need to get back for Gran Turismo 6, shame the Playstation pads suck.

Just because that's the nature of new products, it's the same with many other products, even wheels.....some develop faults and the manufacters learn the limitations of a given part or the way it is used and packaged/fitted/made.

Still in debate which on to get was thinking ps4 but the pads, dash board and PSN are making me think XB1.

Ultimately which ever my mate gets I'll be getting as it's all about the social side with online friend co ops and FIFA fun

Do you play games on it though?

Unless Steam for Linux support improves massively, I can't see much of a market for it. It's a great idea, and the Steam Pad looks very clever, but I struggle to think of a PS or XB owner changing sides.

I wanted the XBone but just built the mother of all watercooled PC's spending more than my MR2 cost lol, then said to the Mrs "I'm gunna pic up a XB1 at weekend"... Her reaction has stopped me getting said device :( I'll try again in a month or two when I'm out of the spare room!

If go with PC all day long but my god it's a lonely pursuit, I need the social element only a console can deliver :)
