Update: It’s the launch weekend of PS4 and gamers around the U.S. and Canada are having a blast playing some next-gen titles right now. Many of them are you. Yes you — Games Thirst people! I haven’t received my unit yet but a lot of your have, so why don’t you share your impressions with us in this Thirsty Conversations/Weekend Quencher article! Come on, let’s hear it!!!

Original Story: The PlayStation 4 has officially launched in the U.S., and gamers across the states are now playing a varied amount of games. From Killzone: Shadow Fall to Resogun, and from Call of Duty: Ghosts to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Some are definitely playing Battlefield 4, too.

Next-gen is finally here, and I’d like to know your impressions of the console. What is it like?

I got mine last night!! First off it is very nice visually. The system itself is just sexy! Had no issues with HDMI. But had some difficulty logging onto PSN initially…after I updated via internet. I tried again an hour later and successfully logged on. The new PSN will take some time to get used to, because I guess I was 1 of the very few whole like the XMB. Downloaded Netflix with no issues. BF4, KZ:SF, and AC4 all look AMAZING!!!!! KZ was first up and all I could say was DAMN!!!!!! Needless to say I am not disappointed one bit with being an early adopter PS4 owner. Cant wait to see what happens next. Oh, as a side bar, I got a free 7day trial PS+ in both KZ and BF..in addition to the free month from Sony inside the PS4 packaging. Havent tried the headset yet or remote play with my Vita, but I got a whole generation to do that! Happy Gaming folks!!

Fox, just two more weeks for you, bro!!!

BF4 looks AMAZING!!! Only played about 45mins of SP but I am loving it! Controller feels different, but a good different. No frame rate issues out of BF4…Frostbite is banging! Killzone also looks stellar. Played about an hour of it and so far its pretty good. I have to agree with a few reviews I read that say its easy to wander around not quite knowing where to go or what to do. But other than that I am very very satisfied so far. As for AC:BF another awesome looking game. The environments are amazing and very vibrant, and the physics of the water are top notch. Only put about 45mins into each game so far, but I HIGHLY recommend all 3 games for PS4. HIGHLY!!!!

Can’t wait to get my own PS4 next year! Having PS+ will net me enough games to play when I get the system. Next generation gaming, here I come!

It’s awesome! Killzone is smooth and beautiful and BF4 plays amazingly! I’m super happy. It sucks that some are having hardware issues. Kind of disconcerting. Logging in was a pain and I didn’t get to play online much because of errors, but what I did get to play was awe inspiring!
ernicegilbert

Wow!!! Now that’s what I’m talking about!!! Now the wait is all the more painful for me!!!

Just played a little COD Ghosts. It’s pretty disappointing at this point. It’s almost like COD is on cruise control with no incentive to keep playing the series.

So nothing new there at all? Wow. Infinity Ward really screwed up all over the place.
