I have since moved to the PS5 last August, but there are some things I miss going from PS4 to 5 like the UI and the background themes. If you can find a Slim for cheap, I’d say go for it even if its used (I didn’t fully agree with Austin to just buy a new one for over $300). As for the Series S comparison, get an external hard drive or SSD for games not optimized for next gen or to store next gen games that you’re not going to play until later. I don’t know why Austin didn’t bring that up in his Series S bit in the video.

I have a feeling they'll keep developing games for the PS4 for some time, given the current install base.

Major releases will get a few more years, and I foresee indie stuff for ages as long as the PS4 store still operates.

Back during pandemic, I managed to sell my PS4 Slim (FFXV edition) that I got used from Japan, for basically same price…. After playing on it for almost 5 years. So yeah, definitely keeping those values, although having PS4 shortage probably also helped. Honestly, the only reason I have not been getting my PS4 Slim SSD for so long, is because PS5 is coming, and 60$ is quite a big percentage of 500$. I think PS4 will have quite a long tail of software coming out for it just like PS2. Developers making games just for PS5 need to consider whether their game reaaaally need SSD and extra GPU of PS5. Alot of game does not. Releasing a game on PS4 will ensure that many extra install bases compared to just releasing on PS5.

The thing that annoyed me the most about the PS4 when it came out was that it didn’t support external storage, and despite it being the most requested feature, Sony didn’t add it until well after the PS4 Pro was released. I had to buy larger internal drive, so I went with the largest laptop drive I could fine, it didn’t fit into the PS4 Pro … I had to get cables to extend the internal connection outside of the console, its still like that to this day … mostly because I switched to Xbox as my primary console, it had external HDD support from day one along with a bunch of other quality of life features that the PS4 lacked at the time like the Quick Menu that allowed you to access the party chat without switching from your game, also I think Xbox has overall better value with Game Pass/Backwards Compatibility/Cross-Platform Support, and I often found the sale prices of third-party games were better than on PSN. It’s also getting harder to support Sony’s anti-consumer business practices, when Microsoft has been doing so much better in that regard in recent years. It’s almost like they switched places in terms of consumer friendliness at some point between the PS3/X360 and the PS4/XB1 generations. Ultimately, now I just play the exclusives on PlayStation, everything else is on Xbox or PC.

I grabbed forbidden west last year and that was what convinced be to seek out a PS5. Forbidden west just looked and felt bad to play. It was blurry, the higher detail world was phasing in just a few feet around you giving this really odd pixelated effect to vegetation and at least on my TV the 30 fps just didn't feel right. I couldn't even make it through the prologue, it hurt my eyes and made me feel kind of sick because of the way the motion was. I put my PS4 out to pasture after that, she had a good run but new stuff just wasn't very nice to play on it anymore.

I repasted my ps4 after it being really loud whenever you turn it on yet it still kicks the fans on after about an hour or 2 of playing. I think mine has also reached its end of life and is showing its age.
@ricenoodles632 Жыл бұрын
I watched some cutscene comparison videos of Forbidden West (between PS5 and PS4 Pro) and I actually found the "better" graphics on the PS5 to look more uncanny. After that, I just ordered a PS4 copy right away (during last Black Friday) since I don't already have a PS5 and don't see the point in waiting to get a PS5 copy until I get a PS5 likely years later.

I still have my ps4 that I got around the time Red Dead 2 came out and I don't plan on getting rid of it until games I want to play start only getting released on the PS5. I also have a PC now so it would have to be an exclusive that REALLY blows me out of the water. God of War Ragnarok runs great on the PS4 (according to DF) so I plan on getting it for that eventually.

I have a slim when it was new and its slower than the new ps4 slim. And it’s probably because the age but the new one is significantly snappier when it comes to the quick menu. I think we are getting to a time where systems are all getting good enough to make good games.

When I upgraded my PS4 to a PS5 just a few months ago, I kept it, moved it to my bedroom. Remote play ps5 and play PS4 games. It's been awesome. I think the PS5 is amazing but u gotta realize, some people don't have an extra $200. They also may not have a 4k display, etc. So if their PS4 goes out, they may not want to upgrade for the price, and they may not have the TV for it. They especially wouldn't want to switch to Xbox if they are invested in the accessories and ecosystem.

At least the PS4 does still have the option of buying an external hard drive and plugging it in and using it. So you are able to expand your memory in the system that way. The PlayStation five and the Xbox series X don’t allow you to do that. Which for me as a major drawback. I don’t have $200 to drop on a memory stick in the case of Xbox.

You can add an inexpensive external SSD to the Series S via the USB ports. My Series S has two external drives attached, I have one 2 TB SSD and a 2 TB HDD and it works great. Games that are optimized for Series X|S will need to be installed on the internal storage but its very easy to transfer games back and forth from the external drives. Also, most games from last gen will run on the external SSD with no issues. Not all Series X|S optimized games need to be installed on the internal SSD.
