00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the sony playstation 4 originally
1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
launched in 2013 and saw multiple
2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
revisions including the ps4 slim and ps4
3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
pro
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
all in all forming a terrific console
5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
that was being sold all the way until
6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
recently as it was replaced by the new
7
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
playstation 5.
8
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
hey how's it going i'm josh from 91 tech
9
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and today we're taking a general look at
10
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the playstation 4. how does it hold up
11
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in 2021 and could it even be worth
12
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
buying
13
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
first off let's start this discussion by
14
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
talking about whether or not it's worth
15
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
it to upgrade to a ps5 if you already
16
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
own a ps4
17
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
simple answer yes the ps5 might be hard
18
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
to find
19
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but assuming you can it's at a pretty
20
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
fair price of five hundred dollars or
21
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
four hundred dollars for the digital
22
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
edition with no disc tray
23
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
it is a huge giant upgrade over the ps4
24
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
bringing 4k gaming
25
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and ridiculously fast load times thanks
26
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
to the ssd
27
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
graphics keep getting better and more
28
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and more ps5 exclusive games will be
29
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
coming out as time goes on the ps5 is
30
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
also completely backwards compatible
31
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
with the ps4 with only a couple
32
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
obscure exceptions and so all your
33
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
favorite titles will carry on over to
34
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the newer hardware that being said just
35
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
because the ps5
36
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
is worth upgrading to doesn't mean you
37
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
need to if you have a ps4 pro right now
38
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
i'd say you definitely don't need to
39
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
upgrade as that console can play some
40
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
games in 4k
41
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and in the very least tends to perform
42
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
quite well even in more demanding titles
43
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
such as cyberpunk 2077 which was an
44
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
absolute mess on the base ps4 the ps4
45
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
pro
46
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in my opinion is good enough to get you
47
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
through up to another couple years
48
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
before you're really gonna start to feel
49
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the need to upgrade as
50
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
games straight up stop being released
51
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
for the older system i'll link my full
52
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
console buying guide in the description
53
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
below by the way
54
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and that will include xbox systems and
55
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the nintendo switch
56
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
as for the ps4 slim or the original ps4
57
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
that's where i'd be more tempted to make
58
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the jump to the ps5 those systems can
59
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
only output up to 1080p and so if you
60
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
have a 4k tv the ps5 is going to be a
61
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
massive
62
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
improvement that being said games are
63
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
still going to be coming out for a
64
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
decent amount of time for the ps4 as the
65
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
overall user base slowly migrates to the
66
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ps5 there are already games that are ps5
67
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
only such as the demon souls remaster
68
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
which looks amazing but that's not to
69
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
say the ps4 can't run terrific looking
70
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
games just look at ghosts of tsushima or
71
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the last of us 2 from 2020 both games
72
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
pushed the hardware to its limits and
73
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
managed to bring a gorgeous graphical
74
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
experience
75
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
with the ps4 you don't need to upgrade
76
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
yet if you can't afford it or just don't
77
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
want to spend the money just keep in
78
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
mind
79
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
that price at 400 or 500 isn't going
80
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
down anytime soon
81
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
on sale or otherwise so if you're
82
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
waiting for a price reduction you're
83
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
going to be waiting a long long time and
84
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you might as well just pick one up now
85
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
if you want to buy a ps4 and don't want
86
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
to buy a ps5 right now for some reason
87
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you're probably going to have to turn to
88
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the used market the ps4 slim does seem
89
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
to be sold by some retailers for an
90
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
average price of around 300 bucks
91
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
although that likely will go down on
92
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
sale or clearance here and there that
93
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
300
94
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
mark though is just way too much money
95
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
given the ps5 digital edition is only
96
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
four hundred dollars i mean come on for
97
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
only 100 bucks more you're getting a
98
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
much better system that should last you
99
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
at least 5 years i don't recommend
100
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
buying the ps4 in 2021
101
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you should really save your pennies and
102
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
get the ps5 but the used market might be
103
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
a little tempting if you're able to find
104
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
a deal looking at ebay.com the ps4 slim
105
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
often goes for around 200
106
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
sometimes more sometimes less and i'm
107
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
not gonna lie anything more than two
108
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
hundred dollars just straight up isn't
109
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
worth it if you wait around you should
110
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
be able to find the ps4 on sale for 200
111
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
brand new of course you might find a
112
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
bundle of games or something that's
113
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
worth it to you on ebay but i think
114
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
these consoles are just still a bit
115
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
overpriced right now due to the stock of
116
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the ps5 being so limited so while i
117
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
don't think the original or the slim
118
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
is particularly worth it the ps4 pro is
119
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
definitely not worth it i can't even
120
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
find it from retailers anymore and on
121
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ebay it goes for like 300
122
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
again only 100 bucks less than the ps5
123
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
digital edition
124
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
so all in all is the ps4 still worth
125
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
buying not anymore the new consoles just
126
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
came out and because they're still hard
127
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
to find the used market is still pretty
128
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
overpriced if you decide to buy one
129
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
that's on you there's definitely deals
130
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
around you just need to look a bit if
131
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you have a ps4 should you upgrade
132
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
also up to you i think the ps5 is
133
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
definitely worth going to but if you're
134
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
wanting to wait a bit longer the ps4
135
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
right now is by no means obsolete and
136
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the ps4 pro still holds up pretty darn
137
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
well and of course the ps5 is still
138
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
super sketchy when it comes to
139
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
availability
140
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
definitely don't buy it off ebay from a
141
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
scalper it's not worth it and if you
142
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
can't find one at all don't worry as
143
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
your ps4 is still a great system
144
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and i'm not just saying that the ps4
145
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
really really is a great system even
146
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
over seven years later the hardware is
147
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
older but
148
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the games all the games they're abundant
149
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and some of the graphics the ps4 is
150
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
capable of pushing is unbelievable how
151
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
on earth is a 2013 machine
152
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
capable of playing a game that looks
153
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
this good with ghosts of tsushima it's
154
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
honestly breathtaking but then you also
155
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
have titles like cyberpunk 2077 which
156
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
originally did come out for the ps4 and
157
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ran
158
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
like utter garbage looking and playing
159
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
just terrible this was to the point they
160
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
actually removed it from the playstation
161
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
store it was laggy fuzzy and just bad
162
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and completely unoptimized and
163
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
unfortunately that's a trend you might
164
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
start to see continue as developers
165
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
force their games that are really too
166
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
powerful for older hardware to be
167
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
released on it anyway as the next gen
168
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
console user base is still relatively
169
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
small compared to the xbox one and ps4
170
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but titles intentionally
171
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
optimize such as most sony titles like
172
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
spider-man miles morales will still look
173
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and play great so the future isn't
174
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
entirely hopeless
175
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
let's take a couple minutes here and
176
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
look at the different models of the ps4
177
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
because there's been a couple of course
178
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
i own the original here which came out
179
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in 2013 and my family got it for the
180
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
christmas of 2014.
181
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
it's done us well since then and the
182
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
only weird issue is it likes to spit out
183
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
discs at us
184
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
why well see this little rubber foot
185
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
here under the eject button for some
186
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
reason i don't know why they placed it
187
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
here but having it rest on there puts a
188
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
little bit too much pressure on the
189
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
eject button
190
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
causing it to trigger at seemingly
191
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
random times we're able to fix this by
192
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
propping up the console with some game
193
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
cases on either side so that works but
194
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
still super annoying sony has had this
195
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
fascinating trend in recent history
196
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
where they'll start their consoles with
197
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
a completely
198
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
far-out weird design and then make it
199
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
look more normal with their next
200
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
revision look at the original ps3
201
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and then the ps3 slim and then look at
202
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the ps5 right now of course we don't
203
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
know what an eventual ps5 slim might
204
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
look like but there's no question the
205
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ps5 is extremely unique and then with
206
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
this ps4
207
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
it also looks quite different from past
208
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
consoles bringing back the glossy
209
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
element on half of it and then matte
210
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
black on the other half it's diagonally
211
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
sloped with sharp
212
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
edges a bold move and one i actually
213
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
like quite a bit although the glossy
214
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
plastic for me is a big nope it
215
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
scratches too easily and fingerprints
216
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and dust
217
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
show like crazy it certainly wasn't a
218
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
perfect design and in late 2016 sure
219
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
enough a more simple and standard design
220
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
of the ps4 released with the playstation
221
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
4
222
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
slim which was a decent bit smaller and
223
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
embraced an entirely matte black finish
224
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
with curved edges and it looks fantastic
225
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in my opinion i'm not sure if i
226
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
really like it better than the original
227
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but i do appreciate the more
228
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
minimalistic approach
229
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
functionality wise the slim is basically
230
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
identical to the original playstation 4
231
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
with the same ports minus an optical
232
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
audio output port it reduced the weight
233
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
from 6.1 pounds to 4.6 pounds which is
234
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
impressive
235
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
although now that i'm thinking about it
236
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
i'm not sure why you'd be physically
237
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
carrying around the console much
238
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
this console like the original ps4 is
239
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
stuck at 1080p
240
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
which is a bit disappointing as the xbox
241
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
one s actually can output 4k
242
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
although it is locked at 1080p gaming
243
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the ps4 pro which came out at the same
244
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
time as the slim can output 4k and in
245
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
looks it's just a bigger version of the
246
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
slim kind of like with an extra layer
247
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and of course it has a significant boost
248
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in power all this was great and all but
249
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
let's talk about the thing you'll be
250
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
seeing a lot more often than the console
251
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
itself and actually holding in your
252
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
hands the dual
253
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
shock 4 controller it can feel a bit
254
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
small and i have always preferred the
255
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
offset joysticks like on xbox
256
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
controllers but practically speaking the
257
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
dualshock 4 does a terrific job playing
258
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
games and i think it's nice looking to
259
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
boot it feels good in the hands albeit
260
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
again sometimes a bit cramped because of
261
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the size and the buttons are all very
262
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
tactile and satisfying to push the light
263
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
bar on the back there was removed with
264
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the new ps5 controller for a reason i
265
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
thought it was super cool when i first
266
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
got it but having to deal with it while
267
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
playing a game or watching netflix in a
268
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
dark room can be a bit annoying and
269
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
distracting and the light can also
270
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
reflect off your tv but it's not a big
271
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
deal and then there's the touchpad a
272
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
feature barely utilized except for a few
273
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
select games like infamous second sun
274
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but it does exist this is a great
275
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
controller
276
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and i used to really like it but the
277
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
dual sense controller with the ps5
278
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
completely blows it out of the water the
279
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
dual sense alone is almost a reason to
280
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
upgrade to the ps5 it completely changes
281
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the experience with amazing haptics and
282
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
vibrations that somehow just feel oh so
283
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
natural for example
284
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in astros playground which comes with a
285
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ps5 when you run on grass it feels like
286
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you're running in grass when you're
287
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
skating it feels like you're skating
288
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
it's crazy
289
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
obviously this is something that may
290
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
never be fully utilized in games
291
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
right now it only pops up here and there
292
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but as time goes on i'm hoping
293
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
developers take advantage to add just
294
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
that extra layer of immersion and the
295
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
triggers on the dual sense as well are
296
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
super cool they can tense up making them
297
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
harder
298
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
or easier to push depending on the
299
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
situation i feel like i've talked more
300
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
about the dual sense than the dual shock
301
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
4 here but that's partly just to show
302
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the contrast and how much that has
303
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
improved with the next generation of
304
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
gaming and that's purely on the sony
305
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
side the new xbox series x controller
306
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
really isn't much different from the
307
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
xbox one controller but all in all the
308
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
dual shock 4 is very functional it looks
309
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
nice and it feels nice and will more
310
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
than do the job to play your favorite
311
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
titles i like it it just doesn't come
312
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
anywhere near
313
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
close to what sony's accomplished with
314
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the dual sense speaking of your favorite
315
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
titles where the ps4 has always managed
316
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
to shine the brightest is with its
317
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
absolutely massive game library
318
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
including a ton of exclusives not
319
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
available to play anywhere else
320
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
some like horizon zero dawn or detroit
321
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
become human can be found elsewhere now
322
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but originally were exclusive but even
323
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
now there's still a ton of games you can
324
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
only play on ps4
325
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
or ps5 the uncharted collection and
326
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
uncharted 4
327
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
last of us remastered and last of us 2
328
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ghost of tsushima spider-man and
329
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
spider-man miles morales god of war
330
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
infamous second son the beautifully
331
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
remastered rationing clank
332
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
are also remastered shadow of the
333
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
colossus the last guardian bloodborne
334
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and so so many more these are all games
335
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you can't find on pc or xbox you need a
336
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ps4 or ps5 to play them and that in and
337
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
of itself is enough reason to go for
338
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
playstation right now at least in my
339
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
opinion
340
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
not to mention some of the other greats
341
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
of the generation like red dead
342
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
redemption 2 or the witcher 3 plus
343
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
dozens more
344
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
sony's exclusives just keep getting
345
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
better and while i love microsoft's more
346
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
consumer friendly approach at the moment
347
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
there is a reason i bought the ps5 and
348
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
not the xbox series x
349
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
one thing that the ps4 doesn't have
350
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
going for it though is the lack of
351
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
backwards compatibility you can't play
352
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
ps1 ps2 or ps3 games on this system
353
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
at least the ps5 can play ps4 games but
354
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
still
355
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the xbox one for example can play a huge
356
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
library of
357
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
xbox 360 games and even original xbox
358
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
titles which is just insane
359
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
sony's answer to this has been
360
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
playstation now and it's not a very good
361
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
answer i'm not going to spend any time
362
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
talking about playstation now it's a
363
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
streaming service from sony that offers
364
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
a wide range of ps3 and ps4 titles it
365
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
costs a monthly fee and it's probably
366
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
not worth it
367
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but there are some older games that are
368
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
on there that you can't find anywhere
369
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
else
370
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
another subscription fee to take into
371
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
account is playstation plus which is
372
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
basically a necessity for probably most
373
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
people as you need it to play online
374
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
multiplayer titles
375
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
some free to play games like fortnite or
376
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
warzone don't require you to have it but
377
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
it's still something you'll probably
378
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
want a year of playstation plus will
379
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
cost you 60 dollars and i do recommend
380
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
going for that
381
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
because month to month ends up being a
382
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
whole lot of money a whole lot faster
383
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
all of this is fun but it's ultimately
384
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
just some facts about the ps4 then if
385
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you already owned one you probably knew
386
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
already and if you don't own a ps4 and
387
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
kind of want one
388
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
honestly don't get one it's a harsh
389
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
answer and typically i like to take a
390
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
more middle-of-the-road approach but
391
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
here i just can't do that the ps4 isn't
392
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
worth buying right now even if you're
393
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
getting a heck of a deal on a used
394
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
system or a major discount the ps5 is
395
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
just such an
396
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
upgrade i really think you'll regret not
397
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
saving up and buying the better system
398
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
not only can it play every single ps4
399
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
game you might want to play but it often
400
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
can play it with better resolutions
401
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
better frame rates and in the best of
402
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
cases it'll get an update to
403
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
specifically be enhanced on ps5 and if
404
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you really want a used cheaper console i
405
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
actually think the xbox one s
406
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
is a better choice as it's able to play
407
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
all the xbox exclusive titles coming out
408
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
in the next year or two
409
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
as stated by microsoft my full console
410
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
buying guide again is linked in the
411
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
description if you're curious
412
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
if you own a ps4 right now whether the
413
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
original model or the slim
414
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and you're unsure of whether or not you
415
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
should buy the ps5 then buy the ps5
416
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
because if you're in a place where
417
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you're thinking about it i imagine you
418
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
can actually afford it and because there
419
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
won't be sales anytime soon you might as
420
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
well just
421
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
go for it you know assuming you can
422
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
actually find it in stock but if you're
423
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
watching this hoping to reaffirm your
424
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
desire to stick with your ps4 and maybe
425
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
can't afford the ps5
426
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
good news i think you're good to go too
427
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
as said earlier games will keep coming
428
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
out for the ps4 a while longer though
429
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
not every game and even when that stops
430
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
you do still have access to an
431
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
absolutely huge library of amazing ps4
432
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
titles that can take hours and hours of
433
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
your time if you let it the ps5 might be
434
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
a huge upgrade but it's not one that you
435
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
need
436
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
at least yet and waiting a couple more
437
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
years isn't going to kill you if you can
438
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
afford the ps5 i'm always going to
439
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
recommend it but otherwise i do truly
440
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
believe the ps4
441
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
is still a great and super fun system
442
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
and one that'll continue to hold up for
443
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
the foreseeable future but what do you
444
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
guys think any of you own a ps4
445
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:09,000
