Over the course of the weekend I was fortunate enough to be given access to the EB Expo. I had the opportunity to sample some amazing up and coming titles as well as get an in depth view to a few of the games via interviews with developers and insiders of that particular game.
The expo this year stood out far above the previous two in terms of crowd, games, consoles (this gen and next gen) and things to see and do, excellent evidence that even though it is early in its life the EB Expo is getting bigger and better each year.
I will not bore you with finer details of the expo I experienced, to make it quite simple I will make a few key dot points into games I got to sample and leave you wanting more. (Don’t worry, majority of these games release before Christmas so you will not be waiting long)
We were given access to all the PS4 games available at the show for a brief period of time and we will get into those but first up we will look at the controller.
The PS4 controller is remarkably comfortable it feels almost as if it is a part of you, near to the extent a samurai’s sword is an extension of him, amazing design by Sony. The touch pad appears to function as it should but didn’t find any opportunities to use it in game. The L2 and R2 button are shaped to be like triggers and feel comfortable doing so. For me the biggest point of this was the way the controller grips your hand, fluent and gelling.
The hardware itself is extremely slick. I was shocked with how small it was in comparison to the Xbox One. It really seems like Sony wanted to take up a similar amount of space to the PS3 Slim and it seems like they’ve accomplished that goal.
Another thing that I was pleasantly surprised about is how small the Playstation Camera is. It barely caught my attention and this made me extremely happy as it’s going to be a very crowded entertainment unit with both this and the Kinect 2 sitting in front of my screen.

Why are you looking up posts for the PS4? Feel you've made a mistake with the XB1?
