@@yurtthesilentgod1225 Another relatively new PS4 owner here, and that was my number one "if I had a PS4" priority since it released. But with all those rumors of it getting an updated version, combined with complaints of its inconsistent framerate as is, I've decided to hold out for now. I've waited this long already, it'd feel stupid to suffer through 30fps right before a better option finally came alone. More than enough other games to play for now anyway.
The ps4 is never going to die as long as the PS5 aren't on the shelves or available online Thank you scalpers (there will be a special place in hell for them all)
@@Masada1911 and I hope it never does like it ain't getting any more expensive than this while also maintaining next gen gaming That itself is not an easy thing to do for such an old console I still have my ps4 pro and will not buy the PS5 as i never even got to see one irl here so yeah I ain't switching
After owning my ps4 for 4 years playing so many games on it... my girlfriend accidentally unplugged it while I switched it on. I just lost all my progress😂. so yeah... this generation is starting over for me😂
The folder option was a huge game changer (pun kind of intended) for me when I discovered it. Having an OCD perfectionist personality, being able to organize all of my games by genre really helped to cut down on the clutter of my homescreen while keeping everything looking tidy.
I miss the days that “next gen” was truly next gen. NES to SNES was like whoa!! SNES/Genesis to PS1 was like Hell Yeah!! You get the point. Ahh the good ole days 😂
I've been saying that generational gaming is over. My friend says I'm wrong because Xbox proved me wrong because you can play last gen games.😒 Now it is GTA5 and GTA 5 and enhanced GTA5.
I hadn't thought about but you're right. Now it's just incremental increases, slowly inching towards true photo realism. Which is kind of weird to imagine.
You forgot one important trick : Suppose that you want to put your console in rest mode while intending to continue a game, you simply enable rest mode while the game is running, once you turn your console on : just double tap the PS button, you'll get back right where you left the game. Thanks for the video
1:05 Yeahh, I admittingly didn't know about turning off the controller for 10 seconds as well, I've been on my PS4 a lot lately, so thank you for this man
"The era of PS4 is done..." Yeah sure, during a world shortage of microchips, a plethora of POS scalpers hoarding PS5's and inflation/economy crisis, guess what... We're gonna keep our PS4's for a while...
30FPS is garbage. I haven't owned a console since 360/PS3 era until I bought a PS5 at my GameStop. I still primarily use PC but fuck me the PS4 was severely underpowered and wasted. It's too bad it's not even similar to GPUs that have 60FPS on PC. 30FPS on 1080P is hilariously bad.
@@noobbotgaming2173 This is so true. After being nearly PC-only since the PS3 days, life recently handed me a used PS4 and I thought hey, not exactly cutting edge or ideal, but it has a few exclusives of interest, and if I have one anyway, why not use it? 30 FPS is why not, I quickly realized. After being so used to 60+ on PC, that 30 fps hurts. How pixelly 1080p looks on a 4K tv sure doesn't help either, but argh, that framerate, worst part by far. Oh, and it has the loudest fans I have ever heard in any console or PC, by a wide margin. At first I assumed that was just because the poor thing was so dusty, (like, the outer grills had dust so thick it peeled off in a solid sheet,) but even after I disassembled and cleaned it spotless inside and out, only slightly less like having a hair dryer in the entertainment center. I seriously wonder if all PS4s are that loud, or maybe just the early model ones, or mine specifically, or what. And let's not forget the horrible load times while we're at it! Anyway, I can totally see why people would be eager to upgrade to a PS5, as well leave their old PS4 to rot at that point. They can't be replaced too soon if you ask me.
Bless, I had no idea that zoom was an option. I’ve always been bummed by games that don’t have text embiggening options and seem to assume that you’re playing on PC with a close monitor. Thaaaaank you
A feature i always wanted in a PS4 is when its on Restmode and i wanna turn it off but I'm in a hurry i would just hold the PS home button for a few secs then it would start to Turn off, I've voiced this idea to some people but they all brushed it off as unnecessary but i truly believe some would want this.
Are some of these the same on PS5 as well because I would love to use that zoom feature and no longer have to strain my eyes when reading books in Skyrim
About point 8, i know someone people will be like "omg you are killing the controller that way" but i usually just charge my controller directly to the power source, so i dont have to deal with resting mode, it also works great if you have your ps4 out of reach and want to keep playing while charging it.
The ps4 is god like and will always be remembered, may future generations go back to it and see what it was all about... the Ratchet and clank reboot, the robot game where you could grow and showcased the particle effects that the ps4 was capable of... so many great memories
For number five you can also use the PlayStation app to change your background and profile picture to any image saved on your phone which I find the easiest.
Not anymore. But there are workarounds, like uploading it to OneDrive (Google Photos flags the PS4 browser as 'unsafe' not sure about iCloud) and then opening OneDrive on the PS4 browser and finally taking a screenshot in full screen mode. (Working as of v11.52)
Thank you for the swapping controller connection to usb tip! The controllers on the ps4 die so much quicker than older systems and it's not easy on the console to keep it running almost 24/7 because the remotes need to be charged at least once every other day at best.
Tip: I like to go on the web and google then get an image i want as my wallpap for my PS4 by just screenshotting, and you can just crop it when setting as your theme so idk i just thought that was pretty cool to do.
Imma be honest, I didn't know about 9 out of the 10 on this list. And these are honestly really cool things to know. Would've been really great to know these tricks right from the jump though. Could you guys please do a list like this for the PS5? I'm sure it'll be ongoing as the updates roll out, but still would be really nice to know how to fully utilize a PS5.... When I can finally get one 😅 Thank you Gameranx for always coming through with the best gaming videos!
Just want to say that your to 10 list videos sense of humor is really good. I find myself laughing out loud many times while watching these. I love the gifs and animations for each point.
The load times alone make the console worth it. The games also look better and run smoother, even if they are technically available on PS4. As for next-gen exclusives, that'll get more common once we're done with the chip shortage in 20-30 years from now.
0:01 Ehh, disagree. I have more friends who're still on Ps4, than friends who upgraded to Ps5. Loads of people are still on last gen; half of them still struggles to get a new gen console, and the other half just has the _"I'm good on my Ps4 until maybe a year or two/or--until maybe when the Ps5 drops in price"_ mentality--which is basically what all of my closest friends says as well. Lol
The use case for outputting PS4 audio to your PC is for capturing/streaming with party chat audio. Elgato actually has a specific splitter cable for this with one going to your headphones and the other to your PC. If you're using a headset all the audio goes there and not to HDMI, and there is no way to send all audio (chat and game) to both HDMI & headset simultaneously. (e.g. capturing Apex Legends gameplay with your teammates audio from PS party chat)
Also with the using a usb cable instead of Bluetooth is that the is simply going to be less latency. It basically doesnt matter how badass your Bluetooth setup is it is nearly impossible to beat a hardwired connection
I've had the PS5 since launch, but till this day I still find the UI confusing AF to navigate around. My brain can never remember the difference between short vs long pressing the PS button. The controller doesn't feel as comfortable as the dual shock 4. Sony went backwards on a lot of stuff on the PS5 just for the sake of "new".
So instead of buying PS5, I just bought PS4 Pro 9.00 JB, upgraded the internal to 2tb and added 8tb game drive then downloaded 250+ games. I think I'm set until PS5 Pro is released.
1:10 What the hell? Okay, this is one that I DIDN'T know! I had my Ps4 for about a good several years now, and I never once heard about this--until now of course! It's so crazy to me that this little controller sitting next to me is capable of doing so many things (e.g. like Bluetooth sharing, and zooming) just by different combinations of holding the buttons! It's so crazy to me! 😱🤯
The longevity is something amazing I’ve had mine for 7 years and it’s worked like a charm hasn’t given me one issue other then the jet airliner fan but I dusted it and it’s perfectly fine now we have seen so many ps5 breaking down and they are not even that old but the veteran ps4 is still showing no sign of age games from ps4-5 are not a major leap like 3-4 so yeah I’m good with staying with my ps4 and pc until the ps6 comes out lol
I've never played an older gen console for very long once a new system comes out, but I'm still convinced that PS4 is worth playing for another 2 or so years.
I remember watching some of these videos before i got my PS4 like 4 years ago and some of these things in this vid, i either never knew, or found them out out of curiosity.
Same here but it's more of a case of I don't need next gen until the next gen after this next gen comes out because that's how long it'll take me to get through my backlog!
@@B-A-L Yeah, I still have a huge backlog. Tbh next gen hasn't really tempted me with anything either. I hop main consoles every generation, currently PS4 and Switch, was contemplating jumping on the new Xbox as my main, I dunno what PS5 has to offer me and i'm kinda annoyed with Sony lately.
Well if you consider that the PS5 has been out for 2,5 and yet most people are on PS4 I wouldn't say it is over . Avaliability has also been pretty bad , games are not looking very ''next-gen'' and the leap from PS4 to PS5 is the smallest in the Playstation history . So in about 4 years from now , we will be seeing PS5 to rise . Till then see ya
Ps5s are every where wym if you don’t have one now your prob just broke. And graphic wise yeah it’s not a crazy leap but getting 120 frames or playing in 4K is huge. Plus loading times on m.2.
@@cinema_yo lol I'm not going to pay 700€ for a console that is not even that good . 120 frames are available on very few games and 4k resolution was first seen in the 2018 PS4 Pro . Loading times have been like this on the PC from 2016 . And also the stock is currently trash . So yeah maybe use your brain more
Tbh I’ve known about the zoom feature for a few years now, it comes in real useful in tons of games, or when I’m using my wireless controller from a few metres away
You forgot a bit about connecting a controller via the USB cable... On the ps4 pro it cuts lag by a whole lot. Basically the response is nearly the same as a mouse on a PC. Very handy for fps games
I think you can triple tap to go through three items on your PS (its pretty much menu, game, app, or settings) way more finicky than the double tap as sometimes it can get confused between double tapping
Everyone thinking that we should have read the instructions before spending years of gaming before realising that we should have read the instructions.
A cool one for PSVR is plug any HDMI console into the VR box and you can play on the headset, XBOX One, 360, PS3! It just acts like a 2D headset so you can game if on any other system if someone is hogging the TV!
I will have a PS4 for a few more years. Once I can buy a PS5 for $350 then I will get it. There aren't any games worth it yet. And there are plenty of games I haven't played on PS4. Once Gta VI and Elder Scrolls VI comes out then I will think about it.
foo get Elden Ring I just finished it best 180 hours I spent in a game. Moving on the Red Dead Redemption 2 now that played a game good enough to be ok with the ending be spoiled... No man's Sky looks sick too I slept on that one so. much options
@@guillermolopez1377 i want Elden Ring bad. I just finished RE Village. Id like to revisit No Mans Sky. I haven't bought it since it first came out. And at the time it wasn't that great, but I've heard they have done wonderful things since.
At 10:06, there's a brief second of a game I'm interested in, of a side-scroller where you're running on shadows. Does anyone know the name of that game? Thanks!
I really hope the ps5 gets more available soon cos the last gen consoles are really underpowered now lol I feel sorry for all the people stuck on last gen. The games releasin on them are clearly struggling now but as long as the ps5s hard to get I guess they have to keep makin them for last gen
@BLS And the chip shortage will continue for years to come, now they don't even have enough for the machines that make them. (i readed this from online news)

you're wrong about ps4 0:30 quick menu> device> turnoff device(takes around 5sec)
Yes 😂😂
Never explored the accessibility menu, that zoom option will be nice.
Maybe I’ll dust off my old PS4 and try it.
I'll dust of my ps6
👌🏼
1:10 What the hell? Okay, this is one that I DIDN'T know! I had my Ps4 for about a good several years now, and I never once heard about this--until now of course! It's so crazy to me that this little controller sitting next to me is capable of doing so many things (e.g. like Bluetooth sharing, and zooming) just by different combinations of holding the buttons! It's so crazy to me! 😱🤯
A few very handy and completely new things to me on this list, thanks Falcon.
🦅🤙
OMG! Thank you for the zoom funcion! I really need to enable this pronto!
Me who doesn't have a PS4: Interesting...
Wow this was one of the first videos I watched of you guys when you made this video when the PS4 just came out. Time flies
The longevity is something amazing I’ve had mine for 7 years and it’s worked like a charm hasn’t given me one issue other then the jet airliner fan but I dusted it and it’s perfectly fine now we have seen so many ps5 breaking down and they are not even that old but the veteran ps4 is still showing no sign of age games from ps4-5 are not a major leap like 3-4 so yeah I’m good with staying with my ps4 and pc until the ps6 comes out lol
You must be one of the lucky ones that haven't had any joypad drift then!
@@B-A-L no never had it
Video game nostalgia is bitter sweet. Rip ps4. You were the best
Wouldn't consider the PS4 done as most people still can't get a PS5
There's lots of games that come out for PS4 and PS5.
just like the xbox 360 isn't really done. it's a very important part of gaming history.
I've never played an older gen console for very long once a new system comes out, but I'm still convinced that PS4 is worth playing for another 2 or so years.
Thx my dad is trying to get the PS4 fix and once he does I’ll be sure to use these secrets
👍🏼
I remember watching some of these videos before i got my PS4 like 4 years ago and some of these things in this vid, i either never knew, or found them out out of curiosity.
I feel good still having my PS4 slim for years even tho I gotta ps5 too
👍🏼
Why not sell your PS5 for a sh!tload of money and then buy it back in a few years at a fraction of the cost?
Number 2 gives me the *"Too Many Devices Connected!"* for some weird reason.
My PS4's still going strong with a humongous library. I can't afford next gen :D
Same here but it's more of a case of I don't need next gen until the next gen after this next gen comes out because that's how long it'll take me to get through my backlog!
@@B-A-L Yeah, I still have a huge backlog. Tbh next gen hasn't really tempted me with anything either. I hop main consoles every generation, currently PS4 and Switch, was contemplating jumping on the new Xbox as my main, I dunno what PS5 has to offer me and i'm kinda annoyed with Sony lately.
Don't be sad . Right now People buying ps5 to play ps4 games anyway lmao .
If you are patient and read the book included in the electronic device box first, you won't need to watch a UA-cam video later😂😂😂
Well if you consider that the PS5 has been out for 2,5 and yet most people are on PS4 I wouldn't say it is over .
Avaliability has also been pretty bad , games are not looking very ''next-gen'' and the leap from PS4 to PS5 is the smallest in the Playstation history .
So in about 4 years from now , we will be seeing PS5 to rise .
Till then see ya
Bet in 2023 all that’ll change. That’ll be the year the differences will show
Ps5s are every where wym if you don’t have one now your prob just broke. And graphic wise yeah it’s not a crazy leap but getting 120 frames or playing in 4K is huge. Plus loading times on m.2.
@@cinema_yo PS5 is everywhere? WTF are you talking about? Are you in America? If you can't hop on Amazon or Walmart and buy one, IT'S NOT EVERYWHERE.
@@cinema_yo they be in denial because they don’t have it so they downplay it to make themselves feel better about not having one
@@cinema_yo lol I'm not going to pay 700€ for a console that is not even that good . 120 frames are available on very few games and 4k resolution was first seen in the 2018 PS4 Pro . Loading times have been like this on the PC from 2016 .
And also the stock is currently trash .
So yeah maybe use your brain more
Tbh I’ve known about the zoom feature for a few years now, it comes in real useful in tons of games, or when I’m using my wireless controller from a few metres away
I never knew any of these lol the controller turn off one and the past from rest to off mode will be very efficient
👍🏼
You forgot a bit about connecting a controller via the USB cable... On the ps4 pro it cuts lag by a whole lot. Basically the response is nearly the same as a mouse on a PC. Very handy for fps games
Long live the PS4!
I dont think the era of PS4 is quite done, atleast not until the PS5 is more available, so these videos are awesome to come across
This would have been sick back in 2013 lol
I miss the community posts from the PS4
Fun fact:you can EAT your PS4,it’s free,and the cops can’t stop you
I think you can triple tap to go through three items on your PS (its pretty much menu, game, app, or settings) way more finicky than the double tap as sometimes it can get confused between double tapping
I wish this video came out in 2013 lol 😆
Everyone thinking that we should have read the instructions before spending years of gaming before realising that we should have read the instructions.
I was hoping my ps4 could turn into a ps5
A cool one for PSVR is plug any HDMI console into the VR box and you can play on the headset, XBOX One, 360, PS3!
It just acts like a 2D headset so you can game if on any other system if someone is hogging the TV!
I will have a PS4 for a few more years. Once I can buy a PS5 for $350 then I will get it. There aren't any games worth it yet. And there are plenty of games I haven't played on PS4. Once Gta VI and Elder Scrolls VI comes out then I will think about it.
👍🏼
foo get Elden Ring I just finished it best 180 hours I spent in a game. Moving on the Red Dead Redemption 2 now that played a game good enough to be ok with the ending be spoiled... No man's Sky looks sick too I slept on that one so. much options
I think Elder Scrolls VI is going to be XBox only though since Microsoft bought Bethesda.
@@B-A-L that I'm not sure about only because they would lose a lot of money if they did. But we won't know for sure until it comes out.
@@guillermolopez1377 i want Elden Ring bad. I just finished RE Village. Id like to revisit No Mans Sky. I haven't bought it since it first came out. And at the time it wasn't that great, but I've heard they have done wonderful things since.
Finally focusing on playing my PS4 this year so really helpful video.
OMG u should do one for ps5
At 10:06, there's a brief second of a game I'm interested in, of a side-scroller where you're running on shadows. Does anyone know the name of that game? Thanks!
Even after all this time PS4 still being a boss xD
This channel is just sooo good.
No the era is not done because the ps5 is still widely unavailable
Oh you're done playing the ps4 after 8 years? Time to whip out 10 cool things ps4 can do
I really hope the ps5 gets more available soon cos the last gen consoles are really underpowered now lol I feel sorry for all the people stuck on last gen. The games releasin on them are clearly struggling now but as long as the ps5s hard to get I guess they have to keep makin them for last gen
@BLS And the chip shortage will continue for years to come, now they don't even have enough for the machines that make them. (i readed this from online news)
6:24 Cool to know Falcon and I both keep Batman: The Animated Series in our disc drives.
I didn’t know my PS4 could turn into an airport
I didn't know about pressing Square for the Hidden Trophy info, and I've had mine for years. I didn't know about the double tap either.
Just got my ps4
Same
My favourite UA-cam channel❤️
