PS4 Demo Kiosks - Blu-ray Forum

Sony has been setting up demo kiosks for the PS4. Play some demos, experience the DS4, etc. See here.

I was wondering if anyone's gotten a chance to play yet? I played at the Sony store in the Pentagon City mall in Arlington VA for 10 mins or so. My impressions...

The console itself is gorgeous. Very sleek and a nice size.

DS4 controller is very nice. Significant improvement. I've always loved the PlayStation controllers but this is finally different enough and very comfortable. Got to navigate the OS screen with the touch pad too which was pretty responsive and easy.

I only played Octodad and Knack and both were disappointing. Knack just did not look nextgen at all. If you want a fun playing Pixar quality experience at launch, just get any Ratchet and Clank game at this point. The game does not look like it's worth $60. As for gameplay, it wasn't anything remarkable. Jump, dodge, punch, jump attack, repeat. They really need to demo better levels. It's a shame more people don't get into the new Rayman games because Legends demo shows off a refreshing platformer/adventure game. But I just couldn't get over how mediocre Knack's graphics are. Don't be fooled by high res dev screenshots, this game looks like it could be released on a PS3 4 years ago.

As for Octodad holy crap the controls are weird. I got so annoyed with the dual stick tentacle controlling that I quit the demo after 2 minutes. I need more time with it but I didn't want to keep people waiting too long.

Have you played it yet? Impressions? There were a bunch of other demos but there was a line of people looking to play so I spent less than 10 mins with it. Still can't wait for 11/15 though!
