Just got it on PS4

[skyemc85]

So I just got Broforce on the PS4 and it' looks even better than I expected on the big screen!!! That being said though, I do have quite a few issues with the port...

One of the most disappointing aspects, being the lack of a level editor. Hopefully this will be patched in at some point. It will be unfortunate if it never makes it in, considering just how much it adds to the replayability.

Another big problem I have is that my bro's will randomly come to a complete stop for a second or so and during this time, I cannot move or shoot. I've had quite a few deaths because of this glitch.

I also want to mention that the game doesn't quite fit to my screen correctly. The character portrait is only showing me about half of the bros face and while fighting a boss, I can only view the lower half of the health bar.

Control wise, even though it could just be that I'm used to the 360 controller's d-pad, I swear the controls on the PS4 are just not as precise and responsive as on the PC.

I'm also a little surprised at some of the lag I've encountered. I feel like it lags more on the PS4 than it does on the PC and my PC is fairly outdated.

Lastly, I think I speak for everyone when I say that I miss Riot City. Please include this.

I saw someone else play it and I noticed serious performance issues late game. Boomer's sprites were broken, and some level reload bugs remained, like the AssMouth ends disappearing.

I also find the absence of the level editor to be disappointing. I guess the interface would be difficult to translate to a PS4 controller. It could've been the Super Mario Maker of the PS4. It would be like Little Big Planet except with actually good gameplay controls.

From what I have seen the PS4 version is like a free demo for the PC version.

I can confirm that, but it isn't randomly.
It is exact after you spawn at the start or checkpoint, when the game has to load the level.
If you respawn a coop-partner on a flag while being alive, the stop didn't happen, but if both die and the game has to go shortly to the "black screen", the stop happens.
Excuse my crappy english. ^^

It really could be. The map editor I feel is truly critical. I have invested over 500 into Broforce over the past 2 years and I think it's safe to say that over 90% of those hours were spent playing custom levels.

I also figured that considering it's the same price on the Playstation store as it is on Steam that they both shared the same content. I didn't realize that there were going to be cuts made...

So I just finished the campaign and wanted to add that I think it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up that my name, along with others, have had their names removed from the credits. There are now only two names remaining in the console version, the rest us were removed.

What gives?

Yea hell wouldn't be in the game if some of us didn't test it first ; )

Well, you'll be happy to know they left you in, I forget the other guy along with you who was left in.

On a side note; it seems you can't shoot enemy grenades away from you anymore.

The ps4 version is very disappointing compared to the PC version. The terrible FPS on the second half of the game, broken boomer sprites, and control lockout at the beginning of the level makes it nearly unplayable. (This is especially noticeable if the level involves you running from something because you almost can't make it thanks to the controls being locked for the first few seconds)

From having beaten the game on both platforms in the last few days, the final boss ending (where he's blowing up a bunch) takes almost 3 times longer to play through on the ps4 due to the awful framerate, and loading levels can take 2-5 whole minutes of black screen on the later ones. I thought my game crashed the first time this happened (on Ripley's challenge level) so I left it running and went to make lunch. It popped on a few mintues later and I could hear the countdown from my kitchen (gotta love that manly 3.. 2.. 1.. GOOO!).

I hate to be so negative because the game is super fun but the ps4 version just feels like it completely lacked QA at all. My roomie got it for ps+ this month and I just ended up buying it on PC anyway because of all the problems, slowdown and lack of level editor. As far as I know, he's just given up on it because its not worth buying it a second time to him.

This is bad because it means more developing time wasted on the console peasants.
