Review on Game console Sony PlayStation 4 Slim 1000 GB HDD, black by Eric Shaun ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked better, spent money on an ordinary product.

In principle, of course, PS4 can and is worth the money, because no matter what, sitting on the couch and playing the game is much more pleasant than even on a chair or computer chair, and what can I say, I even enjoy playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare multiplayer on PS4, although I can't stand it, magic. Yes, and exclusives, it seems to me, are worth going through, although there are not as many of them as on PS3, but it is clearly felt that Sony has greatly let us down in this generation of consoles, and that Sony and Microsoft too. The advantages of consoles are already faintly felt in front of the PC, if earlier it was possible to say about PS3 and Xbox 360 “But it doesn’t slow down and the graphics are beautiful, but there are no bugs, but there are a lot of exclusives”, now all these words do not apply to consoles, except for the latter and then on half. In short, if you are on a PC, but want something new, you can, in principle, buy a PS4, because there are still suitable exclusives there, and it’s more convenient to play, besides, with a second gamepad you can also play split-screen with a friend, to For example, in the Zombie mode in Black Ops 4, in short, I doubt that you will be upset with the purchase, because the PS4 performs its function well. But just such a WOW and delight, the new (or rather, not new, because it was almost 6 years old) console from Sony no longer evokes as it did PS3 and Xbox 360, which were very good for their time.

Pros
  • - A good set of games along with the console [God of War (2022), Horizon Zero Dawn and Gran Turismo Sport]; - Good build quality; - Light weight and generally very small in size [I have an Xbox 360 Slim and I was just shocked that the PS4 is so light and small]; - Excellent DualShock 4 gamepads that are both light and comfortable and equipped with a battery that is charged using Mini USB and which have some interesting goodies in games, not in all of course, but in many it seems like [like in GTA V the gamepad flashes red and blue when playing the police are chasing you, in Killzone In the Captivity of the Twilight, audio recordings are listened through the gamepad, in God of War the gamepad changes color depending on Kratos's state of health, although this is also the case in Killzone]; - In principle, it's bad that in order to play multiplayer games, you need a PlayStation Plus subscription, but on the other hand, for 3900 per year, you will be given 2-3 good games every month; - Actually user-friendly system interface; - Ability to connect a keyboard or mouse, even from the phone you can control the console, with a recent ate, even play games through the phone, on PS4 (such as Stream from console to phone); - Many different useful services, that is, you can not only play games, but also watch movies and surf the Internet, and the gamepad can be used almost like a mouse;
Cons
  • - Design, it's honestly not very good, because PS4 Slim looks very cheap and at the same time the usual one has not been sold in stores for a long time, as I understand it, but it looked very beautiful and chic; - Optimization of games or weak hardware, in fact, there are FPS drops in exclusives and multiplatform games, although on PS3 on the same exclusives I don’t remember the FPS drop at all until the very end of the console’s life cycle, and here Uncharted 4 which was released after only 2 years after the release of the console, it already slows down, and sometimes even very well; - Few exclusives. For PS3, for example, you can immediately recall 30 games suitable, while for PS4 you can’t even remember 10, yes, Christmas trees, even races, it’s only 2, Gran Turismo and DriveClub, 2 parts of Gran Turismo came out for PS3, Motorstorm there like part 4 came out, Twisted Metal comes to mind, and everyone is different. And what can I say, for PS3 games came out in series, in 2-4 parts, for PS4, one per series came out, and then some of dubious quality; - A lot of noise, and it makes more noise than my computer, which does not make that much noise even when it is 100% loaded, you immediately play God of War (2022) on PS4, and the console makes noise as if I launched a video render on it in 4k; - Wi-FI downloads at a slow speed, it seems to show 150-200 Mbit / s in the test, and even 3 GB downloads for 30 minutes, and what's most funny, he can download these same 3 GB in 5 minutes next time and in what is the matter here is not entirely clear, although they say it is necessary to allegedly check the settings, but so far I have not done this, because it is not quite annoying, of course, but I expected that everything would be in order with this; - There is no backward compatibility and this is bad, because on PS4, as I wrote above, there are not so many exclusives, and I would not refuse to play Killzone 3 or Motorstorm again, for example, but it’s impossible, Sony didn’t bring the backward compatibility function, but at least somehow to compensate for not so many exclusives for the PS4 itself; - Expensive games, 4500 already cost, this is not a little, but on ebay you can buy cheap mostly old ones only;
