  1. Worrying lack of DriveClub for the PS4 events. Uh oh.

    • Seeing as Fifa will be available on both platforms, I think the PS4 games look worse in general :/

    • Why the F are they not using Killzone too?

      • Over 16s event not an over 18s event would be my guess why there is no Killzone.

      • But Dead Rising and Ryse are both 18’s.

        Perhaps Killzone is another next-gen game that isn’t really ready yet?

  2. Not in Plymouth :(

  3. Annoyingly, only the PS4 is visiting Portsmouth, not the Xbone. None of the PS4 games interest me, but I would have quite liked to have tried Forza and Ryse.

  4. Only indie titles on PS4 (except for Knack), major titles on Xbone..
    Wonder why sony does not have Driveclub, Killzone, Infamous, Resogun, etc..
    Wonder why..

    • Because it’s a 16+ event. Killzone (at least) is an 18.

      • Ahh. Bloody teenagers

      • Dead Rising 3 is showing as an 18…

      • Maybe the demo they use is only a 16 otherwise Game should be in hot water allowing under 18’s to see or play an 18.

  5. No Northampton! Rubbish

    • You’re in the Northampton area as well? I’m in Daventry myself. Small world :)

      • Yep im in Towcester. Very small world indeed. Will be at the midnight launch for PS4 at Northampton

  6. I’m in at Erdington. According to my PM.

  7. It will be interesting to see if the PS4 lock-ins are better organised than the X1 lock-ins. A friend of mine attended an X1 lock-in recently and said it was a complete mess:
    70 people but a very limited number of Kiosks for people to try out the games. He got a couple of minutes on Ryse before being asked to let the next person play and he did a single lap on Forza. Didn’t even get to check out Dead Rising or KI.

    I understand the obvious limitations but personally I would have preferred if they limited the number to, say, 10 people, meaning those lucky enough to attend got a proper hands-on experience with the console.

  8. At last somewhere near(ish) to me Where I can try a PS4, just a shame the games I want aren’t the ones playable.

  9. Very limited lineup for PS4, actually the day 1 games for Sony are so lacking that I won’t be buying it day 1, I’ll probably wait till Infamous, and wait for deals on fifa 14 and ac4 up to that point …

    • Day 1 is slightly disappointing. But I cant NOT get a PS4 as I want to know what Naughty Dog can do with it! Plus Knack, Playroom, Killzone as the PS4 exclusives and AC4,Battlefield 4 and FIFA 4 are my preorders. Cant wait.

      • I agree that good, nay, great games will come…
        However … not until February at least (more than three months after release) where the first of them arrives …

        At least that’s my opinion… No “console selling” game were I go WOW, I gotta get a PS4.

  10. Our local game has the XBO “lock-in” tomorrow, also signed up for the PS4 one. looking forward to it.
