Type of review

Before that, there were Super Nintendo, ps1, ps2, xbox 360. The most important impression from ps4 is where is the next gene? When switching from each previous generation to a new one, there was a wow effect. It doesn't exist here at all. All improvements seem minor. And remember, did earlier games come out for both generations at once? Speaks for itself. Only now there are glitches. The menu slows down a little, this is nonsense, but a fact. Save error (I don’t remember the code, but a lot has

Pros
  • Stylish design, nice gamepad.
Cons
  • Nothing to play so far, March 2022. Glitchy. In metro 2033, it gave an error twice during the save, once it completely hung. You can turn it off with a gamepad. If you hurry, it's inconvenient. Can't play ps3 games.

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

Summarizing, I want to say that in this generation I would not choose Sony as the main console (as in the past actually) Rent, go through the exclusives you are interested in (for me there were 6 of them on this generation, of which 4 disappointed) and forget about this console play on xbox. With its pros: design. Sony always knows how to design. but that's all Cons below: Not backwards compatible like xbox. want to play the old disc? get the old console or buy another "remaster" Okay, I have…

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

I would like to be able to directly connect a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, they say this feature will appear soon. Sensitive to voltage drops, I had to buy an uninterruptible power supply.

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Bought for 18.990. Completely satisfied with the fixture. Those who complain about the price of games, if you are a schoolboy rogue, then do not buy a ps4. As for the fact that it is better to assemble a computer And so on, a computer can be assembled endlessly, no matter how much money you invest in it, it will become obsolete in a year, and curling irons and xboxes are ated every 7-8 years, and at the same time they keep all games stably. On the Psn account, it costs 1990 per year, while you…

Pros
  • The most convenient and best joystick among all! Powerful filling. Pretty quiet and doesn't get hot. Design, especially the light strip on the body of the console. The speed and convenience of the system. The price was more or less adequate at the start of sales.
Cons
  • Mark plastic. Inside, when shaking, something is shaking, most likely the drive. When playing every 30-45 minutes, there is a second freeze of the picture. Games in English.

ate: the prefix is ​​already 1.5 years old. And you only need to change it to the pro version if you have a really good TV with 4K and powerful HDR. I haven't changed yet. And by the way, the same good TV upscales up to 4K so well (but you still can’t compare it with pro, since it’s really more powerful). I just spoke personally on my own and exclusively eating positive emotions from this miracle. I hope I helped someone or help with the choice.

Pros
  • ate: with the release of firmware 4.5, the PS4 memory capacity can be eliminated from the shortcomings, since games can now be downloaded or installed on an external hard drive (previously formatted by Sony 4 itself). This is the best add-on to date! (ate: apparently now it's PS4 pro))) A chic joystick with its own features (the speaker in it is just a fairy tale, in some games there is a direct 4D or 5D effect, as it should be). Quiet! It seemed to me a little noisier during The Witcher, but it’s still quiet, and the game is valid and graphically looks very modern and cool. Exclusives. I bought a sleepyhead before NG, but in fact it was all for the spring release of Uncharted 4, one of the best exclusives only for this console. "Survive Until Dawn" is another must-have! My wife and I were delighted. Competitors with their own type of exclusives are doing worse. BY. Excellent stuffing with the richest functionality. You will understand everything yourself))
Cons
  • IMHO The joystick holds a charge less than we would like. But on the other hand, it is many times cooler than its predecessor dual shock 3. It is treated by buying a second one (take only the original). Accessories. The third dormouse stood upright without problems - ergonomically and breathes easier. AND THIS! This one just won't fit. It is necessary to take a stand (second waste). If you have children, buying a camera is a must. Great entertainment, but again a waste. With the current course, it runs decently. Game weight. As already mentioned here, games take a long time to swing. In my opinion, this is not a problem, but a trend. Yes, they are very heavy. And yes, if you download 10 GB, for example, of a normal game, then this is just a distribution kit, and after installing it, it remains to download the remaining 20-30-40 GB. (ate: DOOM for example weighs 76 GB). But you can already play. The game will be limited in functions, but will already allow itself to be tested. It is being treated. There are 3 points: 1. Get yourself a normal Internet connection and a normal modern router. 2. The game can be downloaded overnight, and Sonya can be sent to sleep (standby). The game will swing (you must first configure this mode). 3. And finally, do not let the toad choke you and take only 1 TB hard, because. 500 GB version is very small. Even if you tell yourself that all games will be bought on discs, they still have to be installed on hard and ated. The weight of ates is 10-20-30 GB.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

I took my daughter (well, myself) upset, of course, a small number of games (which I wrote about above), bought a console (camera, second joystick and a knack game) - my daughter went through the game in a couple of days and . that's it. the console is worth it. All the games that are offered by subscription are those same Paint platformers. Here on PS3 Vita, for example, gave dead space 3 in June, last month they also gave her some kind of wonderful children's game about a boy with magic…

Pros
  • The gamepad is much more convenient compared to the previous version, more bells and whistles have been added to it (although, of course, this is not used very often, for example, the touch panel). The console itself does not make noise, it does not get very hot, the design is cool, the playroom is very pleased.
Cons
  • So far, a very limited selection of games and insane prices for them (a creepy platformer drawn in my opinion just in paint in English asks for 600-900. I don’t understand what the developers of this are thinking, maybe they just hope that, due to the lack of variety, the user will buy at least something.) The lack of a stand in the basic configuration, although everything is fine with me without a stand and is not going to fall anywhere. But they could have put this unfortunate piece of plastic in the kit without trying to tear out as much as 900 for it.

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

Well, what can I say, if not a fan of consoles and used to sit only at a PC, then the thrill of buying is caused by the very fact of the purchase, and not the game. Unpacking the box, connecting, picking the menu - and that's it, somehow it didn't hook on. I played enough quickly, I realized that it was not mine, I sold it.

I used to only use PC for games, but when I tried the console, I just went crazy! I have never had such a cool thing! PC is not even close! Great console, handy gamepad, and what a graph! Already almost a year of work and no failures. The menu pleased: simple and clear. If you are thinking about whether to buy, do not think - buy!

Well done. The best console. For those who cannot decide between PS4 and xbox one, I recommend watching presentations and video reviews and you will understand everything yourself. Different pros: DualShock 4 PlayStation®Camera Size Fast loading of console and games, quick identification of players using the camera Quiet Its cons: In the description of the games located in PSN, they do not write what language the game is in, unlike PS3, so you have to rummage through the forums, or go to…

In general, the purchase lived up to expectations, the main thing was bought on time, about 2 weeks ago. And now prices have increased by almost 10 thousand, which is not good. As for the console, I didn’t even have a choice whether to buy PS4 or X-BOX I immediately chose SONY. Firstly, the interface compared to the X-BOX of SONY is much simpler and clearer (on the X-BOX in the tiles some kind of confusion turns out to be annoying), and secondly, the dimensions and design of SONY are much more…

Pros
  • 1)Excellent design compared 2) Powerful stuffing 3)Quick interface 4) Quite a capacious hard drive 5) Quiet 6) Convenient joystick, compared to previous models.
Cons
  • There are not many disadvantages, but for me one is significant. Maybe for those who were owners of PS3 it’s normal that games cost 2500, but for me, a person who moved from a PC, it’s unprofitable. Of course, I understood when I bought that games were expensive and took this step consciously.

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

the first console, I also own a tolerable PC, I don’t chase the graph, but still ps-stability in most games! without problems for the crazy price of games))) And by the way, the console is a year and a half old, I read that it makes noise for many, to be honest, I can’t hear it at all! Pros: Appearance. Convenient gamepad, but I want to note that after a week the lower triggers began to creak like an old cart (cured), with the second one bought in six months there were no such problems))) Got…

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

About expensive games. The game at the exit costs 50-60 dollars. That at the old rate of 1500-1800. Now 3000-4000, it is clear that the price for us has become inadequate. So the situation in the country is to blame, friends, there's nothing to be done. But I'm not a gambling addict, I don't play everything in a row, I take only the best. At the moment, in half a year I bought only 4 games - one of us, GTA 5, destiny and assassin creed ^ unity. I pass each one slowly, thoughtfully and with…

Pros
  • The price when I bought it (end of summer 2022) - I took the Asian version for 16,000. Now the price is 25,000 and higher, but it's not Sony's fault, but the situation in our country. In dollars, the price is adequate, and do not forget that a good computer now also costs 2 times more to assemble than it was six months ago. Pretty smooth operation. Convenient joystick with essentially useless, but nice buns (speaker, backlight, touch panel). Appearance is not just a faceless box. Noisy moderately, no more than a laptop under load. It also heats up in moderation, the main thing is not to put it in a limited space. Convenient simple quick menu. Remote play is a cool thing, I grab my smartphone and don’t take the telly if the family wants to watch it. Decent graphics in games, well, the main plus of consoles is turned on and play, no need to dance with a tambourine.
Cons
  • What I personally do not like: the glossy half of the console. I just wiped the dust once, there was a bunch of small scratches. Had I known, I would have put something on it. If you take the console in your hands, the creak goes like from a Chinese tape recorder. The joystick discharges quite quickly, but you can charge it with any smartphone charger, so the jamb is insignificant, you don’t need to sit next to the console. The quality of the joystick is three plus. For several months, the R2 button and sticks began to creak disgustingly. At night, if you play, you can wake up someone who is sleeping in the same room with a creak. Network services for the first couple of months after the purchase worked disgustingly, lags, crashes, did not go online, and so on. Now for January 2022 everything works stably. An inconvenient browser, I just had to watch a movie from it, for the rest there is a tablet. But turning on the movie from the console is a pain. It is doubly torment that in 7 out of 10 cases the console does not want to expand the movie to full screen - it either does not react at all, or it unfolds crookedly (on the floor of the screen, or on the side like that) In GTA 5, FPS subsidence is noticeable when driving fast, and the picture is smeared, as if the TV does not have enough refresh rate, I didn’t expect this from the new console and the game that ran on the xbox 360 without brakes (although the graphics were tweaked, but the engine remained the same). You can play shooters with a gamepad, but it takes a very long time to get used to, and it won’t be as convenient as on a PC anyway, any person with a mouse will kill you in three seconds. There is also a jamb associated with the headset. I use a headset from a smartphone, because I don’t like it when the sound goes into one ear (native with one earpiece). So if you want the interlocutor's voice to go to both headphones, you have to output the sound from the game to the headphones. And it turns out porridge, it is difficult to communicate. If you select in the settings "output only sounds from the chat to the headphones", then the game sounds will come from the speakers, and the chat sounds will become mono again in one left ear. Uncomfortable.

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

The console is cool, SONY tried, but nothing more. Evenings can be passed. I hope the graphics in the near future, the developers will surprise, I really hope. I advise you to buy games, having previously understood that you will really play it, then you won’t feel sorry for the money. I advise you to take it, especially for those who want it for a long time. Don't be upset, you'll be happy. I took it in December for 21,000, complete with GTA 5. Now, of course, it's a little expensive, but…

Pros
  • Fulfilled a childhood dream, my first prefix. It certainly looks beautiful, although this is not very important. But still, when you take it out of the box, you experience a wow effect. Like a child. Strong in fact and characteristics of iron, convenient gamepad, fast loading of both consoles and games. Turned it on and after a minute and a half you are already blowing Los-Santos. The noise level of my console is acceptable, for me - so it is generally silent. I'm not deaf, I can hear the speaker from the gamepad ;-)
Cons
  • I’ll name the most unpleasant: The gamepad handles began to creak after 3 weeks. I don't play every evening, about 40 minutes each. It's not pleasant, maybe I'm unlucky. GTA 5, Battlefield 4, Driveclub, The Last of Us, Trials Fusion - none of the games have anti-aliasing. Or it is, but minimal, ladders at every step. It's not pleasant to watch, especially after 23 years of playing on PC. There are not very many games, although enough time has passed. Having launched Battlefield 4, I was generally surprised by the quality of the graphics, this is not nextgen, it's just awful. Especially reflections in the sights of rifles, a set of pixels. Was amazed. GTA 5 sometimes lags on frames, which is also quite strange, despite the fact that it is optimized for version 4 of the console. In general, there was no particular surprise in terms of graphics, although I really expected it. TV LG 55 inches. In general, only the diagonal saved it. Games are a separate topic, there seems to be money for them, but it’s a pity to buy when a PC game is 4 times cheaper nearby on the shelf, not inferior to anything. I took only exclusives, well, what I really wanted. The joystick is really quickly discharged, although it costs like a spaceship.

When choosing a gaming platform, I personally focused solely on what games I would have the opportunity to play on one or another. Deciding between consoles and upgrading my average gaming PC. I was primarily interested in the following games: Rise of TR, Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last Of Us, Until Dawn, Detroit: Become Human, AC Syndicate, Dreamfall Chapters. Since the only platform on which to play ALL of these games is PS4, the choice was made in favor of it. In general, the…

Pros
  • Exclusive games; quieter, faster and more stable (less lag) than the average static gaming PC; very convenient gamepad (for me it is no less convenient than a good mouse)
Cons
  • Stability and quality of graphics of some multiplatform games, inflated prices for games; The joystick battery is not the most capacious (with the "dim" mode of the diode, it works for me for a couple of days - for comparison, the PS3 joystick worked for 4 days).

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

In general, the console was very pleased, good exclusives, hardware is more powerful than the competitor (Xbox One) True, drawdowns in Witcher 3 are terrible (up to 15-20 fps) and quite often. PC for 35-40k takes out much better heavy games. It makes sense to take if you play exclusives, or you are more comfortable playing on a joystick than on a keyboard. My rating is 10 out of 10, worth the money.

Pros
  • Appearance, support 1080p + 60 fps. Graphics comparable to semi-top PCs. Good joystick, for me personally it's better than on Xbox One. Dimensions, better than the competitor, you can put in a backpack safely Very good exclusives (Last of Us, Bloodborne) Game optimization is better than on PC
Cons
  • Very noisy, even in light games. The main disadvantage: the prices of games - normal games cost on average from 3k. PSN games take a long time to load It scratches very badly, I solved the problem by buying a vinyl sticker

In general - very satisfied. It's definitely evolution. The price for the power and beauty of new games is minor cons and shortcomings. Has pros: Powerful, great graphics, smooth launch of any applications including the playstation store (ps3 was decently stupid at startup), excellent interactive camera functions. With its cons: - The joystick lives for a maximum of 1.5 days of medium intensive use (because it has a speaker, audio output, touch panel, a huge bright indicator lamp), the ps3…

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

Definitely better than xbox in all respects, especially in terms of the number and quality of exclusive games. Pros below: 1) many exclusive masterpiece games 2) graphics quality. 3) Well, as a big plus for all consoles, this is that you don’t have to bother with drivers, settings, installations, direct xs and other dances with a tambourine. With its cons: 1) Noise! 2) Does not read discs from the third Sonya. Although there are ports of some games from the third ps to the fourth with…

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I advise you to take because there is no alternative. For games of high level of graphics and plot and gameplay - the fourth playstation is the best console to date in terms of prospects. (on PS3 and other consoles there are more interesting games, but they are already the past generation, which is not bad, but not very good either) I advise you to take it in black, because I didn’t like the plastic in white, twist it in your hands and see if the plastic is different. Yes, and white usually…

Pros
  • A beautiful, convenient controller gamepad 4 cannot be compared with a miserable controller number 3, in terms of convenience, controller is already compared with an xbox 360 gamepad, if only the sticks were made asymmetric. The console itself is well built and easy to use, and if there is something to play, it is very convenient to play. Supports DVD and Bluray (you can safely take the player instead of the Bluray like the previous PS3 if someone rarely plays) A pleasant trifle - when you connect any headset to the controller, the sound from the speakers or the TV is automatically transferred to the headphones and subsides from the speakers. (you can also configure that only the sound of the voice chat goes to the headset, and the sound of the game is output to the speakers)
Cons
  • In general, it does not play video from external hard drives and USB media in any way - this is a giant minus of this console. Capacity for a couple of years ahead, but I just can’t watch the movie I want. Few games that you want to buy and play. At the moment, they can be counted on the fingers. And really cool even on the fingers of one hand. Few accessories a year after the start of sales - surprises and saddens. There are few applications, there are practically none (we are talking about online services) If you want to use all the features of the console and play different games, then most likely a 500 GB disk will not be enough for a long time, recorded video and games eat up a lot of disk space.

Overall incredibly happy, I won the right to buy the Playstation 4 20th Anniversary edition, it is incredibly beautiful. I am a fan of Mortal Kombat, I bought PS3 only for Mortal Kombat 2022. Still the best Mortal Kombat is on Playstation, at least it is worse and ugly gamepad for fighting games. I still don't see Sony exclusives for myself that I would really want to buy. Played everything: speech and clank, kilzona, uncharted, LBP, lastovaz. Of all, more or less only uncharted and lastovaz…

Pros
  • – very comfortable joystick, a huge step up from PS3 - the share button, it turned out to be very exciting to record your gameplay, post it on YouTube and view - always writes 15 minutes of the latest gameplay in 720p at high bitrate (a 15-minute video weighs 807mb), xbox one writes only 5 minutes - the ability to take and save a screenshot at any time with one button – the console is slightly more powerful than the xbox one, therefore the multiplatform looks better on ps4 – a cool stand with a latch included, you can put it vertically and save space near the TV - according to the good tradition of Sony, the power supply is hidden inside the console, unlike the xbox one or xbox 360, where a healthy brick on the wire still needs to be thought out where to put it – touchpad on the joystick: I haven’t seen any use in games yet, but it’s very convenient to type text or enter data, faster than a stick – the ability to stream your game and at the same time comment on it, if you wish, with a view of yourself using the camera – out of the box there is twitch with live streams of different games, this is useful if you want to evaluate how this or that game really looks - the ability to put any standard hard drive for those who are not enough 500GB - no region-loc - Playstation 4 20th Anniversary edition brings aesthetic pleasure, whoever has the opportunity, don't miss it
Cons
  • – the main disadvantage is that online has become paid: a PS Plus subscription is required (I used to really like free online on PS3, unlike always paid on xbox 360) - gameplay recording only 720p, 1080p would be desirable (I understand that this would eat up too many resources, but still) – the ability to share a screenshot only for Twitter, Facebook. I would like Vkontakte support - when uploading a game video to YouTube, it cannot do it in standby mode, but it pauses and automatically starts from the same download location when the console is turned on – I still don’t see Sony exclusives for myself, for which I would buy a console

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

The wireless keyboard connects without any problems via a USB adapter. From experience, it is better to buy digital versions of games, because. games from discs constantly require a disc and the DVD drive hums when played (although disc games very often have sales in retail stores). Pros: Beautiful graphics in games and no brakes. A large selection of games (both single and network), and all new games from 4000. You need to catch sales on games of past versions, for this you need a PS…
