I think the reason why the PS4 is still considered good in 2023, not due to how future proof the console itself was, but how little the current generation has done to provide new experiences in games, other than the higher resolution/ higher frame rate bumps.
the frame rates alone are worth never touching a ps4 again.
@@thefilmdirector1 In no way am I saying to use a PS4 again. But it's a testimony of how new generation experiences have come to a halt, compared to the leap PS3 did to the PS2.
@@thefilmdirector1look man some current gen games are at 30fps
@@thefilmdirector1 a lot of the ps4 games coming out right now still run at a fairly stable 30fps which is fine for a LOT of people, a surprising amount IMO but the console is still very relevant
@@RGzRuthlessI feel like this was inevitable. Graphics and frame rates are at the breaking point of looking almost like real life. And the invention of the internet and consoles utilizing it is never going to be topped in terms of revolutionary tech.
It’s wild that we’re at the point when a piece of hardware can stay on the market for 10 years and still be viable.
Can you believe up to those time am still playing a PS3. I have never owned any other console.
Ps2 did as well
I still use my PS4 often. It's a fantastic console
I got ps4 3 months ago just so I can play all the games for dirt cheap prices 😅
HACK 😅
Also worth mentioning that, for anyone who is looking at PS4 vs PS5 (presumably not already owning either) you can pickup many older PS4 titles for literal dirt these days. I have somewhere around 100 PS4 games now, and I’d say fully half I paid $5-10ea.
Thank you. 👍
You can play ps4 games on ps5 too as well
i sold my ps5 because i just played ps4 titles on it. im using my ps4 slim again, let my ps4 collection grow and someday i will buy a ps5 again
@@nicotica Smart move.
It's not worth it until all games are PS5 only.
12 exclusives isn't a reason to buy a new console.
Gotta be honest I can name only two games I've enjoyed enough to finish Start-end on ps5 exclusively. Everything else has been cross gen.
I've had my PS4 Pro over 4 years now and still have a lot of games to play on it so it's definitely worth getting if you never had a PS4 / PS4 Pro
When I got my PS5 at launch my PS4 went to my son (he only uses it for Fortnite). Once in a while I use the PS4 and I am surprised at how well it still runs after all these years. Yes it sounds like a jet engine and it is a bit slow to load (I added a SSD and it helps a lot) but it is still usable.
You should probably give it a good dusting
I would feel lucky if I was your son
I already gave a PS4 to my middle child who’s now into PC gaming. I kept one for myself and have a PS5. I didn’t think that game sharing would work, but surprisingly it does. The secondary console is the primary for PSN, and both of my primaries act as secondaries for game playing only under my account.
I like that I can mount my PS4 on the wall behind the TV, where the PS5 dominates in limited placement options.
Damn so many consoles
You need to get the console cleaned out
I'm perfectly happy with my SSD upgraded PS4 Pro. It's obviously no match for a PS5, but easily good enough for my gaming needs. The last game I played, Thief, (2014) felt pretty good on my Xbox One S, which of course is an even weaker machine, but apart from some noticeable loading times I don't really have much to complain about. Not all games will run smoothly or look amazing on the older consoles, but for the most part they'll do a respectable job, especially for casual gamers like myself.
Just upgrade
@@glockboytrey
you mean downgrade
At the moment.
The Pro is hitting Higher Resolutions than the PS5.
PS5 on new games is struggling with 720p and lower.
PS4 Pro is hitting 2160p.
Both consoles have FPS and Graphic modes.
@MatrixAlphaCWX dude just say u can't afford to upgrade. No need to make up lies to comfort yourself....
@@iron-man67 I have a PS5. How about stop saying the same old shitty comment when someone speaks truth. You aint privelaged buddy, we all basically got a PS5 by now. I have a PS3/Xbox One X, Ps4 Pro, PS5/ Desktop Gaming Computer. I compare all titles. How about you? Stop whining just because you only have 1 console and have no idea what i'm talking about.
The PS4 library is large and diverse. I’ve had my PS5 for two years now, but still regularly use my fat PS4. The only real difference I notice between the consoles is load times.
No 😂
The PS4's UI is better than the 5's
I prefer the PS5 one it’s much faster and everything is just easier to find without taking extra steps
Ps4 xmb rules next to ps3..ps5 is like 👎
I like the ps4 controller and interface.
i prefer 4’s controller bc 5’s is fat & uncomfortable
I prefer PS3, then PS4, then PS5. PS5 while is quick, it is too glorified as far as broad media consumption goes. PS3 is to the point, PS4 also but it has that iconic background theme.
Good, cause I'm still not paying £500 to play the 3-4 games I can't get on PC
I have a PS4 Pro with a 4tb Samsung SSD. It’s not as fast a a newer gen console but I’m still enjoying it with all the games it has to offer and experiences. By far my favorite console to date and right after that is the Xbox 360 back in the day that was my favorite.
I bought a 1TB SSD for 35 dollars! I really don't understand why none of these reviewer fail to mention how much faster the PS4 can become using one, loading times for me are exactly 2 times faster. And I also have the Pro and Resident Evil 4 Remake runs at 60fps, honestly PS4 Pro and Xbox One X are 2 gems on the rough, that could continue receiving games for them, Ratcher and Clank Rift Apart for instance, could have easily run on a PS4 Pro/SSD combo, these corporations are full of it really. On the other hand when the PS3 came out, the games coming out could've never run on the PS2 for example.
@@ignacio6454 its all a business bro. There are still games that look and run almost just as good as the PS5 versions they release when they put there heart and soul into it. Like you said the RE4 remake you mention I have it as well and it looks almost as good as the PS5 version. I could careless about ray tracing it’s not that big of a difference and there’s still games releasing on the PS4 still that look pretty damn good!
@@ignacio6454does the Pro make you run games higher fps then the normal one?
@@ignacio6454 That’s right. The graphical leap from PS4 to PS5 wasn’t nearly as profound as previous generations.
That's true, but you're blind if you can't see the graphical improvements, draw distance, load times, and on screen visuals. And ps4 titles running at 60fps are delicious. ps5 is a worthy upgrade and there is no reason to go but a ps4 at this point. If you already have a ps4 and are content, then that makes sense.
I got my new slim PS4 for Christmas 2021 and it’s excellent. I never thought I’d download a digital game, as I’m a retro gamer at heart. But now I do it all the time. I originally wanted it so I could play Sonic Mania and Streets Of Rage 4 and those were the first two games I got for it. Now I have a big library of digital games and most of them are retro titles. I love it!
If you have never owned one and get it for a good price, the PS4 in 2023/24 is totally worth it - replace the hard drive with an SSD and that will speed things up nicely enough.
When you consider many people are still using 1080p TVs - the PS4 suits those displays perfectly.
From the size of it's game library I'm certain there's a lot to be had from the PS4 in 2023 and 2024.
What size SSD would you recommend on a PS4? I’m picking one up today which comes with original equipment and a few games for £80 which seems like a steal to me!
I recently sold my switch oled & found my ps4 pro collecting dust in my closet. Decided to run a few games from PS plus and was pleasantly surprised by how good it’s still running and the new games added to the catalog
As someone who went from PS3 to Switch and nothing console related since. This video actually compels me to explore a PS4 option. Hard copy trade ins of PS4 games are now also super cheap at my local store.
I own a PS2, game cube, switch and a PS4 I think the PS4 is a very good choice if you want to have newer games. I do love the first generation PS3 because it allowed you to play PS3 PS2 and PS one games.
Same
Definitely a PS4 would be a great deal for you if you ask me
I’m getting amazing games like Ghost of Tsushima for 20 usd, AC series for 8 usd each, Red dead redemption 2 for 8 usd, and more. I almost bought ps5 but when I looked at the prices of games, you can save more in ps4 than ps5
I just bought a PS4 Slim a few days ago and it's great. I'm happy to have a PS4 now, and I'm very excited to play games on it.
Just bought a PS4 (refurbished). My last console was a PS2. I sure take my time when upgrading, but I am very excited to play the PS4!
Ps2? Your like 15 years of games behind 😂😂😂
same here, wasn't going to risk buying a used ps4 with previous owners dna caked inside console, so purchased new one in 2024.
I finally got a PlayStation 4 it's a fun game System ❤
Coincidentally, I just bought a 4TB SSD for my Batman edition PS4 a week ago. Upgraded from a 2TB HDD. I do notice a slight increase in loading but not much. And like you mention with the PS Store being slow, I was kind of hoping the store would load faster with the SSD inside. It doesn’t lol.
Right now I see the PS4 as a “future proof” console because big games are still being released for it, it’s controller can be used on PS5 and PC, and it’s a console that’s really good at what it’s made to do and thats to play games. Despite its load times and resolution, it’s a great console.
Great thing about both the Dual Sense and Dual shock 4 is the presence of gyro. Mostly the Dual Sense but sometimes the Dual shock 4 is my controller of preference because I can use Gyro aim. Although I tend to use the DualShock 4 and Xbone controller about equal now. Before the dual sense I leaned more on the Dual Shock 4
Did you install that 4TB internally? I thought it was 2TB max
@@Agent-mb1xx That's what I thought too for the longest time but I saw a few people on UA-cam install 4TB internally in their PS4s. It works flawlessly
You can upgrade it to 8TB yo
I use PS4 controller on PC ❤
I'm still on my PS4 slim, holding out for a PS5 slim. Still a very good console here in 2023 with my main complaint being the speed of the included hard drive. I just did a full re-initialization of my console the other day and saw that there was a new system update today. Amazing that so many new games are still coming out for it even if it is missing out on several AAA titles (as you might expect at this point).
Don't buy physical games..its a scam..Sony and Microsoft are updating system software with a virus bug stopping some physical games from working intentionally forcing users to buy digital games
I'm waiting for the price drop of the PS5 after launch 😂
The PS5 "slim" that has been leaked isn't really a PS5 slim as such tho 😂.
@@Extreme2SwaggerHD I agree, waiting for the real one to get revealed!
@@markh351 how do you feel after seeing that the one that was leaked was actually the real one 😂
So glad you made this! I’ve been looking for one and regretting selling my old one. Thank you.
The PS5 is now looking like PS4, with a very low graphics jump, makes the PS4 console the most desirable and cheaper console to buy.
Because graphics has peaked since ps4..ps5 it's all about fps and resolution..ps4pro2 = ps5
Last year I moved from PS4 to Series S after spending 5 years with the console. I must say it was one of the best memories I have had with any game consoles. Best library too but having used Series S I was taken aback by slow loading speeds of PS4 HDD. Also quick resume on Xbox is something I don't wanna be without. It is essential at this point. Controller and built quality everything on Series S is on point with the only exception of Genre defining gaming experiences which are truly non existent on Xbox at this point.. I think the next jump from Series S to PS5 is going to be a bigger one than PS4 to Series S.
So, instead of buying an SSD for your PS, you bought a new console? That's a not very wise decision...
Can I have your older PS4 console please. I'm a maths student in Ghana not working now but loves gaming for entertainment
@@desmondperry4100 I sold it and put the money into buying the S.
@@Hashama Nice
@@desmondperry4100damn
We’re in an interesting space in the console world. I bought a ps4 pro, slapped at 2tb SSD in to it and haven’t looked back. It’s everything I need & I didn’t have to pay hundreds of dollars and wait for weeks and months to get it. I’ll be gaming on it for years to come.
Instead of Project Q, Sony should have made a portable PS4 that can play all the digital game library and can easily remote play PS5.
I use my original ps4 slim since I got it. I can't afford a ps5. Upgraded to an ssd and recently completed horizon forbidden west, and had a blast. I'm sure the ps5 looks really pretty. But the ps4 kept a steady frame rate, the ssd loaded textures really fast, and even got hdr running. So aside from the coming titles that won't come to ps4, like spiderman2, I don't really see the need to upgrade.
I just came to PS4 in 2023 from PC/Xbox 360 and wow, I’ve really been missing out. Lol
You can now get a Sata USB for a very reasonable price too, which can help a lot with the speed of installing games, as well as load times.
Since the PS2 graphics doesnt matter.
Everything the programmers want,can be achieved with the technology of PS2.
Everything more than that is just exaggeration.
Got my PS4 2 weeks ago for 200 euros.
LOVING IT :) :) :)
I appreciate these videos because big youtubers do influence people and when you talk about the latest and greatest all the time, it does entice some folks into less than ideal financial decisions. Just play on whatever you can afford and trust me, the world doesn't give two shits what console you have. So, don't worry about it.
Thank you. I need this input of yours. I feel happy and NOT an ashamed of buying a NEW PS4 Slim for $199.99 as pre BF deal at Target
@edgaryzen4925 that's half the price of a ps5 & last I checked Sony still supports ps4. Good for you!
Always enjoying the kevin content.
I’m still rocking my PS4 Pro in 2023. Bought it the first day it came out in Nov 2016 and it’s still a Beast. I enjoy buying physical Japanese 2D Shmups and Fighters from PlayAsia since the Pro is region free. I’ll be waiting for the PS5 Pro and the next Switch before I make a new purchase. Lastly, the PS4 Pro/PS4 may be the best all around system ever for its vast collection of AAA 3D games as well as Retro 2D sprite based games which I still enjoy to this day. BTW I upgraded from the HDD to a 2TB Samsung SSD and all I can say is Wowww.
Still have my PS4 Slim Gold edition with the 1TB it came with and still play on it. I'm not missing anything as I think it's fine.
This video makes me feel good because im planning on buying a ps4 glad im subscriped with notifications
Yeah the PS4 is still very capable, especially the pro. The new consoles felt more like mid gen refreshes than truly next gen consoles to me, sure they're better but not that much better especially when compared to the PS4 Pro. Even if someone wanted to jump into VR, the PSVR has gotten really cheap as well.
ill say consoles give players special moments ,from the day they are announced to release n purchasing them..and then the special moments one has had with them...that's why most pple keep their old consoles so they can occasionally go back to them and remeber how much they enjoyed playing on them.
There's really no reason for me to upgrade right now because I'm still enjoying PS4 and nothing on PS5 interest me. Maybe when PS5 slim releases, I'll might switch.
I still play my PS4 Pro 500 Million Edition. I won’t upgrade until the release of the PS5 Pro.
Got a PS4 for my kid this Chritsmas, Just to enjoy , hope he will have fun, it was his dream a PS5 but too expensive
What I like about the pro is even if you don't use it for 4K it's still uses supersampling to upscale the games the overall performances just better compared to the regular PS4. I guarantee that Resident Evil 4 would have ran better on the pro.
Its really amazing on how I have been searching for recent videos on ps4 cause I wanna get it as a my first video game . And I see this
I really enjoy my PS4 Pro (with SSD installed). Got a super good deal on it buying refurbished @ GameStop. Load times improve significantly with an SSD as well as texture pop-in, and potentially even smoothness during gameplay... Plus it makes the UI even faster. I love doing remote play with my PSVita @ night before going to bed... it's an amazing console to pair with my long time fav, the PSVita. Wish I could've afforded it many years ago, but so glad I got one now. It's really awesome that all the same games are coming out for PS4 as well as PS5. Kinda reminds me of the early PS2/PS3 days. Lots of shared games/ports between those two in the beginning. I hope the PS5 does well but I do really love the cross-compatibility between consoles. Graphics are crazy good on each one tbh!
I still love my PS4 pro.
I got my launch PS4 on the second allocation in early February 2014 and by Aug 2014 the HDD was full so I upgraded the internal drive to a 2TB. I didn’t get my PS5 until Dec 2021 and I haven’t touched the PS4 since, but it’s still in mint condition with not even a mark or scratch on it. Same with my launch PS3 both mint. Once in a while I turn them on and update them. Nice to see the PS3 still getting updates. I usually skip pro consoles so I’m not sure whether I’d get the PS5 Pro next year or not.
There won't be a ps5 pro as the ps5 is powerful enough to last the whole gen. If there is a pro then it's just sony being money hungry
Thank you for your suggestion. I bought a ps4 not long ago. After playing it, I felt that the experience was very good. Of course, I also played ps5 before this, but the current exclusive games of ps5 did not particularly attract me. Because I bought a second-hand ps4, the price is much less than that of a ps5, and the money I saved allowed me to buy more of my favorite games. To sum up, I think if you are price-sensitive, and PS5 games do not attract you much, and you do not have particularly high fluency requirements for the game, you can actually buy it. If you are very pursuing gaming experience and are not short of money, you can choose ps5. ps5 has optimizations for ps4 games, such as: Ghost of Tsushima's frame rate optimization and Bloodborne's loading speed optimization. (English is not my native language, please forgive me)
100 percent yes I loved my PS4 back in the day also wow I really can't believe it's been 10 years since the PS4 release incredible 🙀
PS4 is still my main console. I haven't been able to get a new one. I'm noticing I'm missing out on things but I'm definitely making the jump to Xbox for this generation.
I’m curious why your jumping to Xbox. Any particular reason? Always wondered people’s reasoning for switching from one manufacturer to another
@@crestofhonor2349 its because xbox has more going on for it then playstation this gen, sony may have 40 million sales but their exclusives are not selling and are flopping
I would understand this comment if it was made before the start of the next generation in 2020, but after 3 years into the Xbox series generation seeing Xbox fumble, I'm just baffled by it.
@@yomamasohot6411 Why?
I think my favorite Sony consuls are PS2 and PS3 the PS3 is one of the greatest consuls because if you have a first generation PS3 you can play PS1 PS2 and PS3 games. I still own a game cube which has an amazing library of games. And I own a PS4. Realistically speaking if you have a first generation PS3 and PS4 just wait until the PS5 drops in price. Are used to have the halo edition Xbox 360 but when my house got broken into that was taken from me. Still a very tough loss till this day
It's insane that they are still releasing games still for the PS4. I have a Slim sitting on my shelf waiting for a repair, I bought it for the exclusives and JRPG's. I play on all platforms, no fanboy stuff here.
Honestly the reason I haven’t felt the need to buy PS5 just yet is all the games I wanted came out on PS4 as well.
I had my ps4 slim since 2014 enjoying anime games on it.
My ps4 is still running smoothly and like a beauty i just had my 10 year anniversary at Christmas 2023
I have a PS4 from 2013. Upgraded it from 500 GB to 2 TB. Still works fine, never had any issue with it. Same with the two controllers.
I still have my old PS4 even after getting the PS5 and I must say it still holds up in my opinion. Now obviously not as good as the PS5 but still good
Just got a Beenie Kevin. I wore it outside because it was cold. It is probably just as good inside when filing a video. ❤
I'm thinking of getting one. I got a series x but haven't had a PS since the PS2, I just want to get one to play all the exclusives that I've never played.
Love these type of vids can you do one for the Xbox one
Still have my launch ps4 still going strong and I have 2 ps5”s also
As is the curse of a mainly Xbox player, there's a lot of releases that only ever came out on Sony / Nintendo consoles (specifically a lot of Japanese made games), so i'm heavily considering a PS4 for this purpose! A PS5 would be a very expensive paperweight at this point for me as there's really nothing i'd play that would warrant the cost, but a PS4 seems like a comfortably affordable option for now.
still have the ps4 pro, still happy with it, sadly the new games i want to play are only on the ps5, and its getting really2 tempting, but i dont think being to be able to play 2-3 specific exclusive games i might want to play really justifies buying a ps5 right now at least for me, ill wait till there are more
If my tv had a third hdmi i’d have my ps4 plugged in but I currently just have my Switch Oled and Series X connected while my son has his PS5 in his room so we can still play PS4 games on it while not needing another console plugged in. We have a modded PS3 also but rarely use it but the PS4 is still a solid buy.
How rich are you 😱
Got one for 140 bucks. Pretty crazy. Also kinda wild that games are still being made for it
Just found a ps4 pro for $100 about to throw the Samsung Evo (2tb,$80) in that bad boy 😎
I agree if you can't afford a PS5 you’re still good with the PS4. I'm still buying & enjoying PS4 games on my PS5 I just recently bought ghost recon breakpoint gold edition for $21 on the playstation summer sale. It looks beautiful on performance mode 1080p 60fps I didn't check out the resolution mode 4k 30fps on my PS5.🥂😎
I wish I could use my PS4 themed on PS5 😢
I just acquired a gen 1 white PS4 og, owned a 4 pro shortly before the 5 but I never got a chance to experience the og 4 model. Getting the exclusives rn
PS4 was such a highlight for me, I absolutely loved the console coming from Xbox 360. However, Sony's attitude toward consumers and the look and feel of the PS5 (Love the DS4, absolutely despise the Dual Sense) made me switch to Series X as my main console this gen. I use the PS5 for exclusives like Ratchet and FF16 and Series X for everything else. As a very aware consumer, I'm a little confused as to why most are choosing PS5 over Series X (maybe because Xbox One was such a letdown), but as a gamer, you really can't go wrong with either, they are great consoles with great games, UIs and features. Great video!
I sold the PS5 to my brother because the controller was literally destroying my hands! There is a design flaw with the Dual Sense. Then I went back to the PS4 and the PS4 controller and it was night and day of a difference, super comfortable.
cause playstation has exclusives that people may like, and some people would just prefer playstation more i dont really get why its confusing.
The truth is the ps5 is unique in its style coupled with great exclusives of course it’s going to sell better than Xbox all day yes the Xbox is more powerful but by how much not enough to garner people towards it people want good games good performance which the ps5 provides very well Xbox live is no different from ps plus and majority of people only ever play a few games throughout the console life cycle and playing older games is not a big selling point believe it or not
totally agree
Bought one in June and damn near proud of this and chose a few games that'll still to me like a disease and proud of it 😂😂😂😂
What timing, I literally just booted up my PS4 last week (to download updates), after not using it for nearly a year. 😂 Still a solid system.
I just busted out the PS4 (made in 2013) to watch some of my older Blu Ray's!
I got a ps4 a few months ago for 86$ and all it needed was a os reinstall, best buy I’ve does in a while
I got my ps4 pro for $20. Replaced the hhd for ssd and repasted it. The thing is a beast!
I brought the PS4 Slim last year & its holding up pretty well my last console was a PS2 before the PS4 I had an old Gaming PC from 2011...
in my professional opinion, if you had a ps4, you dont NEEEEEED a ps5 just yet. but dont go out and waste money on one unless its a special edition that you must have.
agree
I still have ps4 silm
Just yesterday I refurbished my launch ps4 with a donor fan, thermal paste, and a new 1tb hdd. Everything on the board is still solid. Gave it a damn good clean. Found no corrosion. The power unit is still in great condition. Overall the console should be good for another decade. Now to start the same process with my second gen ps4.
Finally, considering a PlayStation 4 pro
I seen them on the secondhand market for around 150
I can finally get on those PlayStation exclusive
Not sure if they are your thing, but play Infamous Second Son and The Last Guardian! Those exclusives are great and aren't on PC yet (except through PS Now Game Streaming technically)
@@iMatterhorn7 definitely will check those out . Second son always looked good to me
As someone who is refurbishing a old one I found for 120, invest another 20-30 to get new thermal paste and thermal pads, as well as the necessary tools. Old ones probably need it done to keep from overheating since the old pads and paste are probably done.
@@MiniatureMorpheus yes ! I have been watching tutorials on how to do it and it seems pretty simple . I’m going to refurbish everything i can , paste , pads, ssd swap, deep clean !
@@JonathanTacoman It's really not hard, just gotta get over the fear that comes with taking electronics apart. Buy a T8 and a #0 precision 2.4-2.5mm Phillips screwdriver, ARCTIC mx4 paste and 1mm pads.
For a collectionist it’s true, but for 99% of most regular gamers in places with descent internet… just use backwards compatible.
The few times I booted my PS4 was to deal with bugs that were PS5 exclusive, like some games crashing or some issues with the PSN store.
I have pretty top end PC and am happy to waiting for PC releases for the time being. I am picking up a PS4 in 2024 because:
1. As a collector I want to preserve a boxed unit.
2. Want to pick up cheap physicals.
3. Consoles to me are like a time capsule for particular moment in time.
The hardware and, even firmware to an extent, are like fixed points in time, whereas a PC is not. Granted, I have keen interest in graphics technology, so I may get more of a kick out seeing a game run on older hardware. Context is key. I can max out a game from 2014 on my PC and yeah it might look really nice and be really smooth but it is not "impressive". Playing it on a like launch a PS4 is more impressive because, subconsciously, you know the hardware is 10 years older and different to that of the current era and it can be very fun. It can really take you back.
Its going to be very stupid for mk1 not to be on ps4 but be released on the nitendo switch!
I agree...should really have a PS4 release...
I just bought one this weekend, and I have been having SOOO much fun with it. I put in maybe 10hours on it in 3 days (as a working parent) because of how great all the games are. I got it mostly for Bloodborne, and I wanted to jailbreak it to get 60fps patches for my games. I have at least 1000 hours of games to play ready for me on this console.
Great video !!!
What if you upgrade the hard drive to ssd? Is the loading time far more better?
Im using a PS4 Pro as this vid plays. I never buy the newest console the first couple yrs it comes out. Waiting on a PS5 Pro 🤞🤞. If not.. a slim. I like my ps4 Pro and OLED. Still have 2 ps2 slims and a 3rd Gen PS3. Even the V1 Switch as a dedicated TV Switch. OLED is my "on the go"
the opening is filmed like the PS4 is entering the love island villa🙏❤
We lived with these consoles for years and thought they were the pinnacle, that generation's masterpieces don't stop being so because of a calendar change.
Gaming has largely being solved with the PS4/X1 generation from controls schemes to other minutae, they really perfected things, I'm not saying it was the best gen ever for creativity even but there is nothing wildly innovative this gen (in the sense I've never seen that before) aside from Microsoft Flight Simulator.
I never thought I'd play games that looked as good as RE2 Remake or FFVII Remake. I'm still wowed everyday with how good games look, the mind-blowing levels involved and I find it hard to complain about Devs ripping people off.
Maybe AI development of levels and missions dialogue is the next final frontier.
Hell Breath of the Wild feels like a game sent back in time from 2030.
Just imagine how much better PlayStation would be if they had backwards compatibility and not PlayStation now
I got one this week for only 60$ it only had a dead hard drive replaced the hdd for an 1TB SSD and it works great
Thank you for this video and Keep it up Please and Let's Go PS4 Fans 🏆🐐🎯🙏❤
I just don't see the need to really buy a ps5 since there isn't a lot of exclusives for it just yet, most ps5 games can be played on the ps4 and load times isn't really something to upgrade for imo
I dobt know why but i just love this guys voice watchwd this video atleast 10 times
Wow great video, smart idea
I already have a ps4 and I been had it since 2015
I am not really a graphics guy so I think PS4 is my best option since it also has amazing exclusive
I just got one that won't connect to the TV. I replaced the HDMI port and heat paste, but to no prevail. 😢 If it's the chip I don't think I can fix it, and it's almost as much as a new one to get it fixed.
My PS5 Dual Sense and Pulse headphone were dead and decided to continue MW2 online on the PS4. Despite of the slight slow downs on the PS4 version, to me, my opinion, the PS4 is still Going strong! Decided to play TLOU 2 on the PS4. Been a week since I touched the PS5!
I still got my PS4, the original version. Works and runs great 👍. I’ll probably get a PC/Gaming laptop in the future.
I have my Original Playstation 4 with an upgraded 2TB HDD and a PlayStation 4 Pro which is im currently using since its release and im really having a Great time and lots of fun with this console and although the PS5 slim is currently available at any game store at my place i feel i don't still need the upgrade i think ill wait until December 2024 or nxt yr 2025 still have a lot of games to finish on my PS4 Pro i currently have a total of 246 games physical copy on my PS4.😊
Absolutely 💯 I'm still waiting to jump to the next gen because frankly there are no actual next gen games very few released, the ps5 design is so bad and bulky, and the base version still struggle to run few games at native 4k, so no reason for me to upgrade till they announce a pro or a slim model, will be sticking to my PS4 slim for another year easily..
The intro sound in this video is the noise the PS5 should make when it boots up
I rather just get a ps4 bc I just need something that will make me play
I had a coworker who was moving sell me his ps4 that he didn't use for $50. After purchasing PlayStation Plus and the EA play subscription I've been really enjoying it. Bummed that the new Spiderman game and Jedi fallen order are only PS5. But still happy with the purchase.
I am pretty sure EA is porting the new Jedi Survivor game to PS4
$50 bucks that’s a huge steal can’t lose with that kinda price
