- The PlayStation 4 is such a great console to own and collect for, and prices are very low currently. I'm doing this video to discuss the console and some of the great games that you should pick up right now!

I'm never really sure how new I want to go with my videos, but I get a lot of good use out of my PS4 Pro and PS4 is over a decade old now. What games do you still play on the PS4? What other videos would you like me to make?
I bought a ps4 few days Earlier. Great machine tbh. I am playing days gone and god of war 2016... Planing to buy some great games in spring sales.. Its a value for money
Absolutely!
Which ps4?
@@Not_Max23 Absolutely!

@gerigaming4149 is it good to buy from amazon? Where did you buy yours
Since my birthday is coming in a month, I still didn't know what console to buy since I have a low budget but now that I watched this video I'm 100% sure that I will buy the PS4
PS4 is the PERFECT budget console! TONS of awesome games! And thank you for watching my video!
@@thegamethrifter No problem💯
I brought a PS4 Pro in really good condition with 2 controllers and 8 physical games for 150 bucks. After tax and shipping from it was around 180. I got lucky because this Pro model had the figure 8 A.C input which indicates it's the newer and better model. I opened up the fan and cleaned it out, it wasn't that dirty so I expected the previous owner didn't play it much. I have a lot of games I brought last Black Friday and still haven't opened or played yet. There's no need to rush to get the PS5.
As a PS5 owner, I agree with you. There's not a whole lot right now worth upgrading for.
Do ssd you will have great fun
Ps4 pro is perfect for anyone that does not have a high refresh rate display imo. Once you upgrade the hard drive to a ssd you basically have a ps4.5 😂
@@Avery370Z I think it depends on what type of games they want to play. Stuff like Fortnite and COD are 60fps.
Great buy for $150.00
Another great video mate!
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally got a working, nice PS4 slim a few days ago. I am usually a PC/Xbox player along with the Switch, I play wherever the game plays best. Happy to get to play all the PS4 exclusive titles.
Good to hear!
Waiting on my PS4 in the mail now
AWESOME! Let me know how it goes!
I'm ordering the ps4 pro on Monday, one of my dreams is finally coming true, to play on the ps4 exclusive games, I also have an xbox, I've played a lot of good games there too, but they're not exclusive I'll use xbox for more new game releases and the ps4 i use for exclusives games if you asking, why I didn't buy a ps5 at first because I have the series s and then the ps5 was expensive in 2020
@@ASD-mb1tm Completely understand! And have fun!
I really love all of your videos! The ps4 has made its way into my top 5 gaming systems ever, along with the xbox 360.
Thank you so much! The PS4 is still a great console!
I say buy a ps4 instead of a ps5. Better library of games than the ps5.
Can't argue at all....
Can it play gta 6
@@stewie2k746 Can anyone?
@@stewie2k746nope
But ps5 has backwards compatibility. Which means all PS4 games are playable on ps5. Unless you already have the PS4 it's better to get the ps5. Also there are rumours that PS3 games will be playable too in a future update.
Hey what's that game playing in the intro of the video the schmup one? Looks interesting. I'm still on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X along with a Switch and haven't upgraded yet. I don't even have a 4k tv yet I'm still living the best life with everything that 2018 and before has to offer me. I have like 50 games on the PS4 alone that I haven't played yet lol. I won't allow myself to upgrade until I clear some of my backlog.
Resogun, it's actually a cross-buy game. It's on PS4, PS3 and Vita!
@@thegamethrifter ah thanks sadly its not available in the PAL region
the graphics on the ps4 are amazinh, even until this day, but one thing you have to keep in mind is, that the ps4 only runs at 30fps. This makes ist, that the game kinda looks blurry when moving around and i really hate it, that you can't uncap it or something. But from what I know, some games run at 60 fps on the ps4 pro. So if you have bo problem playing at 30 frames per second, then the ps4 is still amazing.
Turn off motion blur when you can. BUT, there's tons of games on PS4 that run 60fps like Call Of Duty, fighting games, remasters like The Last Of Us!
@@thegamethrifterhow about fortnite?
Even some ps3 games are still impressive
@@2pacaveli257 Absolutely! Many are awesome even in 2024!
@@kulasszz 60fps
First ssd into ps4 pro you have a good run and fun
YES!
You gain a follower 👋🏽
That's awesome! I appreciate it!
100% wirth it. Buying a used slim next month and honestly its great for anyone who missed tje 8th gen of games and consoles. Games are cheap, the console is cheap and the games performace and library is goated
Have to agree! And I own a PS5 and this gen has been kind of a letdown. Not sure if it was because of the industry in general or because of the lockdowns, but it's been kinda lackluster.
@@thegamethrifter Lockdowns did contribute because covid brought an economic crisis on game studios leading to layoffs and slowing game development. This is worsened by the fact that games are so advanced in terms of graphical fidelity that they take long to make. But tbvf no game has really compelled me ro get a ps5, ps4 has so many amazing cross gen games and older games, kinda hard to believe how many cross gen games there have been, i remember when the ps4 was released, barely any new gen titles came to the ps3, but with the ps5 its just a different story :(
@@areefsajid5726 Yeah, we're seeing it now unfortunately. Lackluster games, incomplete games ECT
I remeber bought it for Christmas in 2023 it was ps4 slim from 2020 (i mean he was made that year) and he is pretty good first owner really cared about him i got him for 170€ with 2 joystick's and Spiderman miles morales he is not dusty at all when i opened him and in my opinion ps4 is worth it
ABSOLUTELY!
If you've never even thought about VR, try to get a cheap PSVR set. I managed to get one for $70 and haven't looked back since. RE, Saints & Sinners, Hitman, GT... it'll blow your mind if you've never seen it before. Great entry point system to see if you like it or not. Not to mention the hundreds of other regular games worthy of your time.
Absolutely! I have PSVR and PSVR2 and VR is such a fun experience!
PS4 until the arrival of PS5 pro and PS6!!!👍🎮👍
PS5 Pro supposedly dropping this year.
I just buy the Pro revisions from now on, i have a ps4 but havent bothered to a ps5.
Might as well, seems like the games don't even take advantage of it until that point.
I didn't realise Gran Turismo 7 was on ps4. Was about to buy a ps5 just for that. Will they keep supporting the online multiplayer for GT7 on ps4?
They will until the next one for sure.
I recently bought a PS4 Pro 1TB with 2 Dualshock 4 controllers from a friend for only $167.80 (RM800 in Malaysian Ringgit). He had it since 2021, and decided to sell it to me as he considers to buy a PS5. Some people said it's not worth buying a PS4 in 2024, but I think it's a good deal for me as I'm not really into the new gen games, I merely wanted to play all the games that I missed out on during PS4 peak era.
There's barely anything current gen worthwhile IMO. Even the best stuff like Elden Ring is cross-gen.
I really like the legend of korra game come back becuase i missed the release on ps3 and 4
Absolutely!
My budget is $200 so i brought a ps4 pro god of war model with two controllers is it good option
That is a great option! I have the Star Wars PS4 Pro myself and it's awesome!
How would The Last Faith play on the PS4?
The Switch version has major framerate issues when there is a lot going on when fighting bosses.😮
It'd play much better!
@@thegamethrifterShould I buy the PS4 slim or the Pro?
@@lexbeltran1354 Pro is much better, especially if you have a 4K TV.
Yes, it is. I got aa ps4 pro and i have it filled with jrpgs. Games are super cheap and combined with my ps vita i can play on my bed or out on my porch swing.
Great time to get games for PS4!
Of course, the ps4 still feel next gen.I’m using the vita remote play function more and more these days.
That's awesome!
@@thegamethrifter Detroit Become Human play really well on remote play. Titanfall 2 is good, Doom 2016 not bad (input delay), sadly cyberpunk is unplayable because the UI is too small. The zoom function is not enough on the vita.
I’m curious to see if System Shock remake is playable (UI).
I have a little idea. Since I remote play locally without using internet, I will order a wifi antenna for the vita (flat patch antenna, internal mod) and one for the ps4. Hoping it will help with the range.
Anyhow, have a nice day !
@@johnbartender3451 Awesome! Let me know how it plays!
I'm probably gonna go back to ps4
Wouldn't blame you! I own a PS5 but still game a lot on my Star Wars PS4 Pro!
The question that should really be asked is, why in the hell would anyone buy a PS5?
Well I bought one, but I think I bought it more out of the fact that I buy every new console at release.
Better performance and ps5 exclusives but the ps4 is still pretty good
@@No0bSlasher Yeah, obviously stuff gets better performance. But I played God Of War Ragnarok on both PS4 and PS5 and it played fine on PS4
I have 7 systems already. Not sure where to go next. PS4 or Xbox Series X. Because I would like a machine that plays a ton of my old Xbox library before they dump the disc drive altogether.
Buy a series x you won’t be disappointed
Series X has a huge library of 360 and cheap Xbox One games. So I'd pick that TBH.
PS4 is still a good console though if you can find one cheap!
@@thompsonpatrick79 Great console, maybe the best ever to this point. Just wish Microsoft supported it with more back compat titles and exclusives.
I'm a fanboi of PS but get an Xbox if that is yer concern. It's all good. 😁
I love Days Gone
Fantastic game and highly underrated!
My friend has a ps4 which he uses once a month, he told me that I can have it for a couple weeks to see if I’m interested. Is there any games you recommend?
God Of War (2018), God Of War Ragnarok, Detroit: Become Human, The Last Of Us Remaster, The Last Of Us 2, Ghost Of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank (2016), Spider-Man (2018), Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Uncharted 4, Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection
What type of games do you like?
@@Jeustful The ones I listed!
Heavy rain/ beyond two souls, red dead redemption 2, day gone @@thegamethrifter
I'm gonna wait till new gta comes out
Can't blame ya, but that's over a year away assuming it's not delayed again.
I didn’t like any of these game on Playstation 4, except for The Last of Us remake(remaster?) . I also liked the remaster of Uncharted 1 - 3. I didn’t like the 4th one.
I guess Playstation 4 just wasn’t made for me. I really bought it just to The Last of Us for the first time.
I can understand it. I've always been more of an Xbox guy myself, but some of the PS4 games are really well done.
1:09 what your talking about? I find ragnarok way better than the first one. Also it’s like one game but separated to two.
I guess it's opinion? I'm a fan of Kratos and playing as him and Ragnarok deviates from that far too often IMO.
am getting a ps 4
NICE!
I still play on my ps4
Me too!
Me too but my ps4 has been giving me trouble lately with connecting to the Internet
@@queennicole4217 Did you try forwarding the ports in your router?
@@thegamethrifter how exactly do you do that?
@@queennicole4217 Check UA-cam, that's how I learned how to do it!
Buy the pro if you can
agree!
But they will cut support soon 😢
Some games will be current gen only for sure, but I think Call Of Duty, Madden, FIFA will continue on. As will updates for games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Minecraft, Roblox ECT
@@thegamethrifter there are some games with story ??
@@isn0thanaf759 Some! Like a new Prince Of Persia game just released and it's pretty good!
Guys i need help. Ps4 slim or Ps4 Pro
The slim is less noisy had had 500GB of space still can play all the games u want, the pro has 1TB of space supports 4k HDR but much more noisy
I'd go Pro if possible.
Some Pro's have 2TB hard drives!
If u want a quieter gaming experience go for slim if u want 4k HDR plus extra space go for the pro. Otherwise they both run the same games 🤷♂️
@@MjN0921 Pro sometimes has options for better frame rate and things. Games IMO run much better. I have the Star Wars Pro and it is fairly quiet, but I've heard the slim is extremely loud with The Last Of us 2, Ghost Of Tsushima ECT
Sadly spider man 2 not realeased on ps4😔
Yea, but Miles Morales is the better game IMO and that's on PS4.
@@thegamethrifter yes but short and venom is one of my favorite characters, spiderman 2 will probably be my favorite if I can play it in the future
@@ASD-mb1tm I didn't enjoy Spider-Man 2 as much as Miles Morales or the first game, but that's just me.
Cool I’m the only person in the comments with a ps5 😂
I have a PS5, but I still use my Pro as well.
Ummm yes, yes, it's 100% worth it. They still have exclusives games. Ragnarok is on PS4
Absolutely! Great console. I still have mine loaded with games!
Time to move on. The reason why we don't have a lot of next gen games is because of PS4 Users. But it will end in march 2025 when GTA 6 comes out. You all will upgrade then.
It's getting more expensive to make games. They try to use these consoles as much as possible.
For GTA 6 lots of ps4 users may choose the less expensive Xbox series S rather than upgrading to PS5
@@nazaritubes The problem with that is that in the PS4/Xbox One generation people built incredible libraries of digital games. So leaving that might not make sense for people with hundreds or even thousands of games. Personally, I have over 700 PS4/PS5 digital games and over 1500 installed right now on my Series X. I always say it's best to get both!
