Pros
- - Multiplatform looks better and/or more stable than the competitor (on basic versions, it's not about Pro and not about 1X). - Better situation with AAA exclusives and indie games (those already released and those announced at E3 2022) - Convenient and sophisticated joystick v.2 (added a light bar strip on the touchpad and work from USB - no lag) - There is "exclusive" support from 2022 streaming services like OKKO (Amediateka), IVI, etc. - Hassle-free hard drive replacement. I have a 480GB SSD. From which both the system and games are loaded. And try to change the hard drive from a competitor (and no additional tails stick out of the console). :)
Cons
- For 2.5 years, something has been improved, but fundamentally they have not changed, namely: - The battery of the joystick is a disaster, a short USB cable. - Unstable operation of PSN. Either they hack, then they fall, then there are problems with credit cards, and the solution from technical support is almost always: "wait 3-5 days - it will be unlocked / rise / etc." By the way, finding their contacts on the site is another challenge. - There are "non-optimized" games - fps drawdown. Yes, Fallout, we're talking about you. This is Fail. And even a proshka will not help here. - Design. This parallelogram causes only disgust, in the curbstone there is a curling iron in the far corner, so as not to infuriate me with its disgusting appearance. I don’t know why, but I like the appearance of the competitor so much that I literally almost changed the platform because of this, I only stopped E3 2022, where it became clear that you won’t be fed up with Forza alone, but you want to play exclusives. - No backward compatibility with PS3. The Playstation Now service is not available in 2022.
Pros
- Console-exclusive games, a handy joystick, the ability to use as a movie player, gaming potential: with a connected PS Move system, you can play sports at home in a fun and completely unnoticeable way!
Cons
- Expensive Games
Pros
- Games (exclusive) Design compactness Gamepad Subscription is cheaper
Cons
- Noisy a little louder than xbox one s (when spinning the disc). In general, not critical. The buttons on the gamepad stick (especially X). It's weird, but it happens to a lot of people. It is treated by simply blowing the button.
Pros
- There are no words, she is perfect.
Cons
- Not
Pros
- Not heavy, cooling is not noisy, moderately dimensional. The joystick was very surprised by the functionality.
Cons
- The plastic feels not very good, the optical drive seemed noisy. Sometimes in the menu and in games there are micro friezes / glitches. This is generally a nitpick, but reading the comments on how much the console is better than the PC, I expected that everything would be just ultra smooth and without flaws.
Pros
- Equipment. The quantity of memory that is already present (1 terabyte version). An extremely large number of private endeavors. Discounts on a consistent basis (weekly, annually, and during the holidays) not just for digital copies of games but also for tangible media obtained via partners.
Cons
- length of time that controllers can go without needing to be recharged. A limited amount of additional items supplied by the manufacturer. PS Plus membership pricing. A limited selection of free games are available in exchange for a subscription. a lack of variety in the many sorts of PS Plus subscriptions.
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;
Pros
- Equipment. The amount of built-in memory (1 terabyte version). A huge number of exclusive projects. Regular discounts (weekly, annual, holiday) both for digital copies of games, and from partners, for physical media.
Cons
- Battery life of controllers without recharging. A small number of accessories from the manufacturer. PS Plus subscription prices. A small number of free games by subscription. Lack of variety in PS Plus subscription types.
Pros
- Have access to the Internet
Cons
- the kit consists of only one joystick
Pros
- - Large selection of games, including exclusives - Since this is a platform with a single configuration, unlike the PC, game optimization is often better here (with the amendment that here the norm is 30 frames per second, not 60) - Can also be used to watch videos, movies and series - a BD drive and many applications like Neftlix have this - DualShock 4 is by far the most comfortable controller on the market - Quite an interesting thing Remote Play, allows you to play on the console remotely from your smartphone or tablet
Cons
- - The farther, the more outdated in technical terms the games look (you can’t look at Red Dead Redemption 2 without tears) - Paid online - Not always intuitive interface (we are talking about the console, and not about the games on it) - I don't know if this is a common problem, but my console was quite noisy - Games are expensive, new and good games are very expensive
Pros
- Inexpensive. Good games. Decent gamepad.
Cons
- The only problem with PS4 is its 2022 support. God forbid you buy a game that throws an error. I bought a non-working game and did a refund for a whole month, of all the support services I contacted, Sony has the worst.
