We are only a few days away from the launch of the PS4 and without doubt Killzone: Shadow Fall is the biggest launch title. The fourth game in the Guerrilla series takes advantage of the new power of the console to show a Vekta that is alive and full of bright colors which is a change from the usually drab Killzone franchise.
Here is a new launch trailer for the shooter that is already on shelves but can’t be played until Friday’s release of the PS4. Have a look.
This is a good news week for DLC involving two of the year’s biggest releases. Today sees the first single player piece for Bioshock Infinite, Burial at Sea, available for download and now Naughty Dog will reveal the first single player DLC for The Last of Us on November 14th.
The reveal will take place at the Playstation 4 All-Access event which will air on Spike TV at 11PM EST.
With a big PS4 game being revealed on Thursday and news that The Last of Us will be featured could that mean the PS4 game will be a Naughty Dog game as well? Say it is so Mr. Drake.
It is only a little over a week until the [amazon_link id=”B00DE2W5XG” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Playstation 4[/amazon_link] is released and we are counting down the days. Sony has released four new videos showing off the various things the console features including remote play and the redesigned Dualshock 4 controller.
Keep checking back between now and November 15th for a lot of PS4 news as the next generation begins.

With the Playstation 4 only a few weeks from release, Sony has posted what they call the “Ultimate FAQ” about their next-gen console. Let’s take a look at the details in three handy categories for you fine people.
-The Playstation 4 will release on November 15th in North America for $399.99.
-HDMI cable included (at last)
-PS4 is designed with an internal power supply, so it does not have an external
“power brick.”
-PS4 is capable of 10x the processing power of the PS3 system. The system
features an optimized design featuring a unified 8GB of high-speed GDDR5 RAM, an
eight core X86 CPU, and a powerful graphics processor.
-The majority of new features that have been announced will be available when PS4
launches. These features include background downloads, cross-game voice chat,
transitioning to a network based on real-world friends, and live streaming
gameplay footage via Ustream and Twitch.
-PS4 supports up to 2,000 online friends, an expansion of the 100 friends limit
for the PS3 system.
-You can continue to play a game as a patch is downloading.
– One PS Plus membership will continue to grant benefits for your PS3 and PS Vita
system, even after you pick up a PS4.
-You can use content you’ve purchased on up to two PS4 systems simultaneously —
simply sign into a friends’ PS4, and the content you’ve purchased will be
available as long as you remain signed in.
-The PS4 will not support an external hard drive. PS4 is equipped with a 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive. Users can choose to install
a new hard drive so long as it complies with these standards, is no thicker than
9.5mm, and is larger than 160GB.
-Support for high-resolution 4K output for still images and movie content is in consideration, but there are no further details to share at this time. PS4 does not currently support 4K output for games.
-PS4 will not support Dynamic Themes as they currently exist on the PS3 system.
-We strongly recommend that Remote Play be used within the same WiFi network
where PS4 is connected. Remote Play may or may not work over a wide area network.
-You can not share your captured videos on YouTube.
-What’s in the box? Playstation 4 console, Dualshock 4 controller, micro USB cable for charging controller, mono headset for voice chat, power cable and HDMI cable.
-Input/ Output ports: HDMI OUT, DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL AUDIO), Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports, and an
auxiliary connector reserved for PlayStation Camera. PS4 also features
integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi for wireless internet connectivity and Bluetooth
2.1 for DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller connectivity.
-PS4 can be used in the horizontal or vertical position. In North America,
vertical stands for PS4 will be released by partners as officially licensed
program products during PS4’s launch window.
-Blu-Ray and DVD playback with PS4 (duh). No audio CD capability.
-PS4 supports up to four DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controllers at one time.
-Remote Play will work best when the PS Vita system is located within the same WiFi network where PS4 is connected. We also recommend that PS4 be connected to the local area network via an Ethernet cable, that a router suitable for gaming be used and that the PS Vita system be within close proximity of the WiFi access point so that the connection is free of interference.
Sony is teaming up with Taco Bell to combine my want for a PS4 with my love for a Cheesy Gordita Crunch in some kind of unholy union that no fat nerd can resist.
From September 26th to November 10th when you purchase a $5 Buck Box you will receive a code to enter online to see if you have won a [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVQO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Playstation 4[/amazon_link]. Not only that, but you will be getting said PS4 three days before anyone else. While the rest of the world waits for November 15th, you will have your console powered up on November 12th with a copy of Knack and one year of Playstation Plus.
You had me at Taco Bell.
No, seriously. I eat Taco Bell for no reason at all. Hell, I have eaten it right after I have eaten lunch somewhere else just because it was offered to me. Now you wanna throw in a PS4?
Two new consoles lead the way this fall and that is not even adding in the huge payload of games that will be making their ways to shelves between now and Christmas. It can get a little confusing out there when you want so many things at the same time. We here at Nerd Rating want to make it as easy as we possibly can for you with our fall game guide. Help yourself and see when your favorite games are coming out and go ahead and hit the link to pre-order them on Amazon.
Full disclosure- we do make a small profit from all Amazon purchases made through links on the site. Help us, help you.

Lords of the Fallen is a new fantasy RPG for the [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVQO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Playstation 4[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVMI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Xbox One[/amazon_link]. It is being developed by Deck13 and published by CI Games.
The first trailer for the game was shown at Gamescom and is being shown at PAX this week also. It does have a certain Warcraft look to it. Any new RPG being developed for next-gen instantly has me interested.
No release date has been given for Lords of the Fallen.
Now that Sony has given us the official date of November 15th for the release of the [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVQO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Playstation 4[/amazon_link], all we need now is to know just exactly what will be available on day one for you to slide into your sleek new machine.
Ask and ye shall receive (I am assuming someone asked).

Many were excited when it was announced that the [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVMI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Xbox One[/amazon_link] would have an expanded friends list going from 100 to 1,000. Now in another bout of “anything you can do, I can do better”, Sony has announced that the [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVQO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]PS4[/amazon_link] will have a cap of 2,000 friends.
I am sure for famous people that have people clamoring to be on their friends list this is a great move. If you are just a random gamer and have the need for a 2,000 friend limit then I congratulate you on having a sparkling, magnetic personality and I would enjoy hanging out with you one day.
It was also announced that while you will need to be a PS Plus member to play games online you will not need the service to run Netflix, party chat or play free-to-play games.
Sony has revealed that, while the [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVQO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]PS4[/amazon_link] will come equipped with an impressive 8GB of GDDR5 memory, only 4.5GB of that is available to game developers.
3.5GB is reserved on the system to run Sony’s new OS with a 1GB of “flexible memory” that can be pulled from the OS to use for the games if needed upping the total to 5.5GB. So, in response, the internet community has done what they do so well and jumped off the deep end in response with some morons in comment threads saying they will cancel their pre-orders because of this.
Why?
No game is going to need most of the 8GB on the system. Hell, most games will be good with less than the 4.5GB and very few, I am assuming, will need to stretch into the extra memory. Developers have a sh**ton of space to work with and, if anything, the 3.5GB reserved for the OS on the system will mean that we will get a much better experience than we are used to with the PS3, including the ability to play while downloading and a much better running PSN.
Slow down, bleeding hearts. Take a breath and everything will be alright.
