PS4 Store asks if you'd like to download multiplayer or single-player first • News • PlayStation 4 • Eurogamer.net

You'll be able to choose, at the PS4 PlayStation Store, whether you want to download the Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer mode first or the single-player.

That nugget of information was buried in a lifestyle first-look video at the PS4 interface.

Attractive man Will comes home to his trendily trashed apartment in urban America, throws open the shutters and boots up PS4 with the press of a button, and lands quickly on the home screen. There he sees that his attractive friend Sarah has unlocked a Trophy in Knack and posted a video of her biffing up some big baddie.

Will selects this activity and is prompted with a start button to see if he can do the same. He can't, so he watches Sarah's replay and eventually works it out. While doing all this he views Sarah's new-look profile.

Then his other friend, who's Playing Killzone: Shadow Fall, pipes up in his ear - using the new in-your-ear earphone and dangle-down mic that's in the PS4 box (much less intrusive than a Madonna headset but also so well concealed that friends may not realise you're not pleading for them to die but a monster on the screen.)

Will doesn't own Killzone so he heads to the PS Store to buy it. This is where he's prompted about whether he wants to download the SP or MP part of the game first. He makes his selection and then flips back, pretty quickly, to playing Knack.

Sarah, who's in a cafe on her phone, sends him a message and they have a little chat. He replies by - it looks like - tilting the DualShock 4 controller and then either pressing face buttons or the touchpad to select letters.

Killzone finishes downloading and he jumps into his friend's game and quickly dies. A video is recorded and Sarah watches it at the cafe and sends them a message. And that's about it.

As revealed before E3, download the digital copy of Killzone: Shadow Fall and you'll be able to start playing the game as soon as its first level and main menu are downloaded.

Sony previously mentioned that you'll be able to play PlayStation 4 games while they're downloading, but this was the first time we've heard more specific details on how little you'll need to have on your hard drive.

"You're going to download a chunk of the game, get the menu and first level, and while you're playing the first level we can start downloading the second in the background," Killzone developer Guerrilla's technical director Michiel van der Leeuw explained. "Then the third and so on."

kind of interesting. it would be cool if your could choose to only buy part of the game (for cheaper of course)

Where's the enable 60fps option? FPS, fighters and racing games should be 60fps, this is inexcusable. Only reason I can tolerate Forza Horizon at its 30fps is because the input lag is closer to that of a 60fps game than a 30fps game. It's why I bought Sonic Racing on PC rather than the consoles, 60>>30, every time out.

Admittedly, this option is cool though.

it would be interesting if they actually gave console gamers video options. they could just have two presets: 30 and 60 fps

I buy more Sony exclusive shyt than most people. Am I an admitted Xbot after my PC master race team affliation? Yes, but seriously, my complaint is valid. 60 fps will alway be better for games that require precision. I'm left to hope that Drive Club reaches 60fps.

Some have allowed to have V-sync off.

Bioshock 1 allowed you to have an unchecked frame rate

There are some that didn't have v-sync locked, thus introducing screen tearing.

Sounds good. But on Xbox he wouldn't have to purchase the title on his own, he could just download and play his friends copy :blessed:

At least with the ps4s innovative "offline gaming" feature he'll be able to play it offline after he downloads it and goes on a trip to Timbuktu:heh:

You do realize that the more they push the visuals, the lower the frameset? Hence is why Ryse on Xbox is 30fps...

Breh, the ins and outs of gaming is second nature to me. I would always though, sacrifice graphics for gameplay.

The devs won't always take that route. Ads on YouTube and tv..30 frames per second. Hard for them to show off framerate...easier to pump the visuals and show people why they need to buy these next systems.

:mindblown:

Man, just because a few launch titles won't be running 60FPS doesn't mean that will be the case for the entire generation.

I don't recall 1st party titles on Xbox consoles being 60fps last gen either buddy boy. Halo, Gears and the rest of the crap were all sub 30 framerate games. Ever played Halo 4 BTB online?? yea sub 20fps galore.

That's why it is a big deal that the next Halo will be 60fps. Additionally as I've been saying, all games will look 'great' by virtue of the hardware that it's running on. People should focus more on control and frame rate so that games play better.
