So I ran down to the Gamestop 5 minutes from my house and bought Shadowfall. Now it's just sitting here, mocking me.

The guy behind the counter was so confused. He thought I had a preorder (which I didn't) and then asked if I wanted it on some other console :psyduck:

Yeah, I almost regret picking this and the DS4 up. At least I can use the DS4 to play other games on PC and PS3, but this just sits next to my PS3 games, warning them they're headed for a cardboard box. Plus there's the Target sale happening before launch day. I'll have a full collection before I even get the drat console.

Still gonna be popping in Killzone first. Want the best looking game running on my PS4 first.

Is there going to be an equivalent to metatags or Steam groups on ps4? Or does the 2k friend limit rule that out?

If you can see friends of your friends we could just make a dummy account to all add.

Depends on if it works that way or not, I guess.

Isn't there a clan system?

There will be a clan system, details of which however are not yet released(although we are kinda getting close to the finish line so I wish they would hurry up with the info).

As for meta tags and whatnot I have no clue if that will work with ps4 so that is a wait and see.

Aussies are close to / the same as Asia, right? If not, I will gladly add an Aussie option.

I will edit in a link to the spreadsheet in a bit.

Australia is pretty far east even in relation to Asia and there's enough Aussie goons it's probably worth it.

Not quite the same, I don't think, but it may be 'close enough'.

According to Google, Asia timezones range from UTC+02:00 to UTC+12:00. Australia is only +8:00 to +10:00.

Please don't hate me for this but is there any hook to the multiplayer? I love the addicting rpg aspects and unlocks from the trend of cod/bf/halo/whatever and it sounds like this game is fairly old school. I'm considering it since the trailer was really cool and it's absolutely beautiful and bleak looking (Sony is so good at that mix) but I'm worried the mp won't pull me in.

It does have unlocks though? Instead of being XP-based, you get them through completing different challenges and stuff in multiplayer. Here's more on the multiplayer system: http://www.killzone.com/kz3/en_US/blog/news/2013-09-10_kzsf-multiplayer-detailed-2.html

I'm there with you on needing a carrot to chase because I'm mindless like that. I really love Battlefields new leaderboard system so I can destroy my state with my knife kills.

I have KZ:SF preordered on Amazon and I'll be picking up my PS4 on launch day in-store so I'll be with goons ready to kill dudes. Not sure if I want to jump straight into multiplayer or play single player.

My PSN is in the google doc. It's Phorrum.

I wish I had KZ3 right now to play. I never got a chance to ever really finish the game or play multiplayer.

Thanks for the comments on the mp. It sounds compelling in it's own way. I might pass on this at launch since I don't need a ton of shooters but I'll have it by the end of the month I'm sure.

I don't have a clue. The last time I played the game was a couple of months ago and I managed to find a populated game alright (on DLC maps too), but I'm in Europe and the multiplayer is separated by region so the game could very well be dead in America. I think the playerbase got a healthy boost when it went free to play however?
