This is just a simple overview of my experience so far with IGAU for PS4.
I bought the digital version of this game last Friday because I wanted a familiar game to play without having to constantly swap discs between this and some other games. The install didn't take very long and I was up and running in no time. What I notice right away was loading the game to a playable state was pretty fast, maybe a few seconds faster than loading up the Xbox version. Listed below are some of the pros and cons of this version.

Listed below are some of the pros and cons of this version.
Pros
- Graphics- Textures and Graphics looks really nice on the PS4. The lines look smoother and the characters just look shinier. 1080p 60fps makes the game look buttery smooth. I put in the XBox and PS3 version and wanted to immediately turn it off after I got adjusted to playing on the PS4.
- Online- The netcode seems pretty good so far. I've played about 40+ games online and 80 percent of the matches felt very fast. When you play on the PS3/Xbox version, you often have to adjust the timing on some of your combos because you expect that slight input lag and stuttering movements. I started playing on the PS4 with that in mind and immediately notice that the majority of my matches almost felt like I was playing offline. I think one of the reasons why it feels so good right now is the PS4 has only been released in US/Canada so my connections to people are all domestic. I can easily imagine the network feeling not so great once it hits other markets and you end up playing people overseas.
- Controls- I really like the Dualshock 4. I played on stick and DS3/DS2 pads and found the transition to playing on a DS4 very easy. After a weekend with the DS4, the DS3/DS2 feels very small and uncomfortable once I picked it up again.
- Price- Most people probably would not want to buy the game again after already buying the previous games and DLC. I really didn't want to either but notice I had 20 dollars of PSN credits which I know would sit there for a long time so I ended up buying this again for the third time. I think a fairer price for this game should have been 40 dollars.
- Online- Even though the online feels pretty solid so far, the population is very low. Player Matches, KOTH, Ranked all requires quite a bit of time to find connections for obvious reasons. I'm sure this will increase in the next few weeks when the PS4 supply increases and the machine gets introduced to other regions.
- Controls- I really liked the DS4 but I'm sure many people who enjoy playing on stick will not be interested until an Arcade Stick option is available for PS4.
- Content- This is another con because there really anything worthwhile in terms of content. I haven't played the single player on this version since I already played it twice on previous consoles.
