Sony started their press conference with a nice introduction to how the average gamer would use their console, finishing with some nice multiplayer of Killzone: Shadow Fall.
UI looks all right, i was hoping for a more futuristic Minority Report style "next gen" interface with fancy transformation animations etc though. An advantage is obviously less resource hungry system.
Drop-in system looks too seamless to be true. If it can always be that quick, thats a tremendous step forward from PS3 matchmaking.
Regarding Shadow Fall, contrary to still shots, game looks incredible in motion. Something Titanfall could learn a lesson from.

Hmm.. is the Killzone mp running at 60fps?
Good question. Looks like it has some kind of a weird frame limiter. As soon as he looked up into the sky the game ran with 60, and back in the action it was limited to 30 (I guess) becasue it suddenly didn't ran so smooth. Anyways, solid 30fps. And it looks beautiful.
Also the PS3 interface looks sleek and nice. Much better than the ONE dashboard.
see THIS is what Microsoft should have done when they first announced the xboxone and talked of having to install games on to the harddrive. If they had just shown the games in a library, shown that you could view what your friends were playing and jump straight into that game because everything was already installed on the harddrive, I think the whole "disc being useless" thing would have been more accepted..especially if they then showed you could play your library on other consoles - meaning you could always swap profiles with a friend and get access to his games till you swap back. Or at least swap games from your library for 30days and not have access to that game for 30days.
Instead they had to focus on tv and let the fears spin out of control

- Sometimes, it's all about "how and what" you present. The game looks cool - I feel like Shu is not a KZ fan for some reason :).

- You are probably right - apply the KISS ( http://bit.ly/sty7R ) methodology to anything you design is never a bad thing

- Wouldn't it be great if all games ran at 720P - 4K UHD resolution@ 60FPS? Scratch that, lets push it, how about 6K UHD @120FPS ... now THAT would be an achievement. The future is always amazing.

Sure it would, but I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. Simply asked because the gameplay clearly is running at a higher clip than 30hz.
Hello new member here! I know 60fps when I see it and killzone shadow fall is definitely running it! Very exciting. I pretty sure that is why you hear people cheering immediately when the game came up. I know I would be. :)

Very well said, a professinal demonstration on Install vs. Disc with speed tests, side by side comparison, transition from off state, drop-in multiplayer etc, leaving bloated PR garbage from the 90s would have made a lot of people at least intrigued. Also, judging from Kinect Sports Rivals after 5 months of uncertainty i can finally see what a compelling device Kinect 2.0 is. Where was they all that time?
