Review on Game console Sony PlayStation 4 Pro 1000 GB HDD, white by Mateusz Maycha ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, but having its own defects.

Getting a firmware update without a 4K TV is pointless. There will be games with the FPS unlocked, but the 10,000 point differential is not justified. Only about 3-5 games worth playing will appear noticeably better on a 4K TV; optimized games will look same. After investing in the necessary firmware, I started to consider building a dedicated gaming computer. A custom-built gaming PC can be built for under $30,000 if you don't have Sonya. No, you won't get 60 fps on ultra, but Sonya's 4 hardware is still old, and you can get better performance and cheaper games on Steam with a PC for the same price (30k). Take a fatka for 11,000 on eBay, buy more games on disk, and resell them for the same price. This works for exclusives. The only case in which upgrading makes sense is if you already have 4K and are feeling a really severe itch in your wallet with money is if you have fat or slender.

Pros
  • Good stretches, for one titles that were patched to 4K resolution (The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4) 2) Increased frames per second in some games (Destiny 2, 3, and Battlefield 1). 3) Much less audible than fatki; nonetheless, remains raucous during times of stress
Cons
  • 1) I didn't realize HZD or BF1 had HDR. I tried turning it on and off, but it made no effect. Two) There are hardly any games that have been optimized. It appears that only Uncharted 4, HZD, and The Witcher 3 render chess in 4K (although I could be incorrect). In a select few games, the frame rate was increased (I'm only familiar with Battlefield 1, but I can attest to the fact that after a fat with drawdowns of up to 40 fps, on the firmware it is usually always 60, and DS3 now consistently churns out 45 frames per second rather than the previous 30). Thirdly, developers aren't rushing to add fixes for frame rate or resolution. They appear to be in no rush either. There were no updates for Bloodborne. A year after the firmware's release, The Witcher still wasn't optimized, despite developers' initial claims to the contrary.
