Gah, those textures and pop-in. I thought they "chose" to downgrade the resolution to 720p just to get a solid 30 fps locked. So it is not even locked now?!

EDIT: No zombies or characters on screen - why is it even chugging that badly?

[SuperMatt18]

Yikes, hopefully that is just a less then ideal build of the game.

The pop-in of the textures on that rock is just terrible, for last gen even.

Looks like this is from: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...-dead-rising-3

Our captures show the game upscaled to 1080p by the Xbox One - with results that are expectedly unkind to thin objects and flickering alpha elements like trees or fence-work. It's a bit of a disappointment in this sense, and continues to dangle a question mark over the capabilities of the console's hotly contested specs when it comes to titles striving for full HD.

However, the fact remains that the game's original brief as an Xbox 360 title is still very much felt in other areas; the pared-back alpha, texture streaming issues and jagged 720p presentation giving the impression that the series' potential is still somehow being bounded.

It's also unfortunate that the game runs at far from the promised locked 30fps - rather a chugging 20fps during the zombie action while out in the big city.

Spoiler!

I wish they would make a Dead Rysing game. Take the potential graphics and performance of Ryse, remove the crappy gameplay and mash in the fun of Dead Rising 3.

'cause it does look like it would be a lot of fun/out there:

According to various places online it looks like the first shipments for the PS4 from FS/BB were released today.



My guess is they go in order of shipping distance, they have 3 groups for how long it takes with standard shipping.

[Hockeyguy15]

I would imagine Calgary would be tomorrow since the shipment comes from BC, then you are looking at Friday delivery pending no issues with planes/trucks/weather.

[SuperMatt18]

Some good Killzone:Shadow Fall images.



Love the guy shooting into the ground as he dies.

Good article from IGN with an Xbox 1 and PS4 Ghosts comparison:

Man, sounds like remote play is going to be REALLY easy to implement - hopefully widely so as well!

A Few Last-Minute Bits of PlayStation 4 Info

The early reviews of Call of Duty: Ghosts--including mine--mentioned that the PlayStation 4 version of the game suffers from occasional frame rate issues. For me, it usually showed up whenever there were a lot of particle effects on screen, but it'd pop up at random, too. I'm told that Infinity Ward is working on a patch to correct the performance issues. As our review currently doesn't apply to the PS4 version of the game--I want to play that and the Xbox One version on real multiplayer servers before assigning it a number--I'm going to see if that patch makes its way live this week and see if it helps. Currently, I'd call it a toss up between the Xbox One and PS4 versions--the Xbox One version has a smoother frame rate, but I'd rather play the game on a Dual Shock 4. Getting that frame rate pegged would definitively swing things in the PS4's direction, even over the PC version, which is sort of a mess. Of course, we're talking about minor differences in a game that has much more significant issues than mere frame rate, so you probably shouldn't take any of this as a ringing endorsement of the release without reading my review first.

Remote Play seems to work. We spoke with members of the Assassin's Creed IV team while demoing the game on a Vita and they claim it only took them a day or two to get Remote Play working. For the most part, the experience was fine on the Vita, though I saw a few video glitches. Since the Vita is missing some of the Dual Shock 4's control options, one set of triggers is mapped to the left and right sides of the rear touch panel and the bottom corners of the screen are used for L3 and R3. This seems like a fine way to solve the control issues. I can't really see myself using this feature too often, but if you're one of those people who has to fight with others for control of a TV in your household, this could be a nice way to compromise.

First reviews of Zelda: Lttp are starting to come out.

Game Informer has given the game a 10/10.

Oooo that Hype.

Everyone gave Skyward Sword a 10/10 and it was not very good.

Futureshop has yet to ship Killzone. I ordered it during the E3 sale and it's still showing as "Out of stock". Same thing with Need for Speed and Lego Marvel Alliance. I guess I'll have to head out to the store and buy them and return the online orders later...if they ever get shipped.

[Hockeyguy15]

I'm debating just cancelling my order. Sure you save $20 off each game, but the way they screwed up they don't even deserve the $40 a game. I might be willing to pay full price elsewhere.

[Esoteric]

I already have Killzone at Knack sitting at home, can't wait to play them on Friday.

[chemgear]

Christ, Dead Rising drops to 10 fps without any (live ) zombies? What the hell did Capcom do?

[SuperMatt18]

Killzone now showing as in-stock for my order on Futureshop website. Hopefully they ship it out ASAP so I don't have to go through the purchase/return hassle.

You would have had to pay shipping and waited even longer than normal.
