Review on Game console Sony PlayStation 4 500 GB HDD, black by Adam Turczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

I am overjoyed to have gotten the chance to purchase the stunning Playstation 4 20th Anniversary Edition. Since I am a huge fan of the Mortal Kombat series, I specifically purchased a PlayStation 3 in order to play Mortal Kombat 2022. PlayStation still has the greatest version of Mortal Kombat, despite having a terrible and unsightly gamepad. There are no Sony-exclusive titles that I'm interested in purchasing at this time. I've tried out every genre, from speech and clank to kilzona and uncharted to LBP and lastovaz. Only the undiscovered and lastovaz are interesting; everything else is tedious and uninteresting. I only own a Nintendo Wii U and 3DS XL due of their exclusive games, no matter how arrogant Sony thought they were. However, in my opinion, the PlayStation 4 is essential if you enjoy the aforementioned works. I'm currently enjoying Destiny and have no plans to purchase any other PS4 games in the near future (except for Mortal Kombat X, of course). The console is beautiful, the joystick is more responsive, and gaming can be recorded and sent to the cloud, which is awesome. The Xbox One has more exclusive titles that interest me, so if you want to play Halo HD, Fable Legends, or Killer Instinct, you'll have to get an Xbox One at some time.

Pros
  • With the PS4, you can record 15 minutes of gameplay in 720p at high bitrate (a 15-minute video weighs 807mb), whereas the Xbox One can only record 5 minutes. You can also take and save a screenshot at any time with the press of a single button, and the controller is much more comfortable to hold than the one on the PS3. Multiplatform games appear nicer on the PS4 than on the Xbox One because the PS4 is somewhat more powerful than the X1. – Unlike the Xbox One and Xbox 360, where a hefty brick on a wire still needs to be thought out where to put it, the power supply is hidden inside the console, following the fine history of Sony. The console comes with a stylish stand with a latch so you can set it vertically and conserve room near the TV. No idea how useful the touchpad on the joystick is in games, but it makes entering text and data much quicker than with the stick alone. The ability to stream your game while also commenting on it using the camera; the inclusion of twitch with live streams of different games; this is helpful if you want to evaluate how this or that game really looks; the inclusion of an open storage system, so those who don't have enough space can add any standard hard drive; 500GB, region-free Don't miss out on the aesthetic joy that is the Playstation 4 20th Anniversary Edition if you have the chance to do so.
Cons
  • - The biggest drawback is that it now costs money to play online, so you'll need a PS Plus subscription (I miss the days when the PS3's online play was free, unlike the Xbox 360's, which has always needed a monthly fee). - only 720p gameplay recording is possible, however 1080p recording is preferred (I get that this would be too resource-intensive, but still). - limited screenshot sharing functionality (Twitter/Facebook only). I still haven't seen any Sony exclusives for which I'd buy a system, but I'd love to see Vkontakte support and the ability to pause and resume from the same download location when the console is turned on.
