Scope of supply:
The delivery was previously known, for the price, the scope is enormous. But the second controller and the camera hit yes commercially with 60 EUR to Beech, Killzone well. The headset is not really great, but served its purpose. HDMI cable was just there. Here you'll find nothing to complain about.
Installation:
After unpacking and it took about 10 minutes was set up and wired up everything, everything ran smoothly, questions not lined up and installation instructions could remain calm in the package. Should connect three cables (HDMI, camera, power) but also anyone overwhelm. After the first time you turn the first mandatory update has been downloaded. after 10 minutes that was installed and invested again 10 minutes for the initial setup of the system. Voila, first game possible after about 30 minutes - I think that's acceptable.
First Matches / First Impression:
First, I must say that I buying the Amazon three number two offer NFS: Rivals, Knack and Fifa had 14 already available - Added to this was still Killzone. The first test lieft then with NFS: Rivals and surprised me very positively. Graphically much good stuff is here already offered, the clear distance that my PS3 last had behind my PC, I could no longer see here. Content, I let myself to NFS now times not, but the potential of the PS4 has been very clear. After Knack came off well here - on something simpler level - was all nice to look at. Tearing, aliasing, long loading times - all these things that had annoyed at the PS3 last something has disappeared. Prima! Fifa 14 also looks chic and also makes proper fun. The volume of PS4 adheres except when reading the BDs frontiers in. I am sitting just over three meters and can neither playing nor while watching movies, listening to some of the equipment.
Multimedia:
Speaking of watching movies to provide here a brief digression to my output devices to the following comments on an appropriate basis:
Image output is either via TV (LG 47LA8906) or projector (Epson EH-TW 1800 2m-screen), sound is output via 6.2 System (vicious + magnate) with Yamaha AV receiver.
Technically I can not complain about the multimedia capabilities. Both Amazon / LOVEFiLM app Watch Ever or BD playback delivering perfect picture and best sound. The expected however already by 100 EUR-Blurayplayer. What is missing, unfortunately, still, is the 3D capability. That hurts a bit, especially no corresponding update on Sony's part is still there in sight. One must remain tense because eventually, too 3D-capable games to come and thus this feature is mandatory nachzuliefern. Similarly, take the MP3 capability. Why has no integrated support, is incomprehensible for me. Sure, Sony would like to promote your own video and music services on and I use the PS4 (as well as earlier the PS3) is not really listening to MP3 (which then runs more on the WD TV Live), but the lack of this standard function is already annoying. Hopefully Sony will here also replacement delivery. Playing other multimedia codecs (MKV, AVI, MP4, ISO, ...) also works, as with the PS3, very limited. But I do not expect necessarily because I for my yes WD have and it also vs. no retrogression. represents the PS3.
Controller / Camera:
The new controllers are fine in their hands, better than the PS3 controller, and offer astonishing grip. Even with longer Fifa, Rayman or NFS sessions. The batteries hold through even long, at least I'd have no play abort due to lack of battery power. The voice control works quite well, the touch pad is to be used but not really useful. The largest familiarization necessitated changing the Start / Select buttons toward Share and Options. After a few days, however, is also quite well out of hand. The camera focuses for me currently only a nice gimmick is that especially my daughter is a real pleasure with the corresponding Playroom app. Let's see what there is more, so far the facial and Gestenerkennug works pretty well, even if the resolution is not so great. Incidentally, the Sony-charging adapter for the controller is highly recommended, but only for the suggested retail price of EUR 35 which is partially opened here this is almost outrageous. In any case, the controllers are thus always loaded and send it also looks.
Currently:
Currently my favorite, especially with my daughter, essentially Rayman Legends. This game is not a test for the hardware of the PS4, but the fun factor is quite high. In addition, I am working with NBA 2K14 recently, which is impressive what the PS4 is already able. Graphically I know so far no better console game, they think they are in a TV broadcast. The PS4 comes here, felt, not a sweat, which makes especially for later games still room for improvement. This brings me already the biggest gripe: The available games are still very manageable. A proper racing game that you could gamble on a split screen (GT 6 would be great), for example, especially me missing. But here I sit times that the time is the rules already. And better longer developed as the customer delivered betas.
Conclusion:
Gg On the bashing XBOX. PS4 I do not let me. Everyone should buy his favorite instrument and thus be happy with friends I zock also gladly times a round on the Xbox, as well as those with me on the PS4. All both have their advantages and disadvantages. I was since the first generation (with 14 or 15 years) a staunch Playstation player and am today (more than 30) currently. With the new PS4 Sony has also done nothing to dissuade me from this opinion. I am pleased and will certainly have a lot of fun with my console. Anyone who still mulling, I can only recommend the PS4.
