Buying And Playing A PS4 In 2024: Is It Still Worth It?
Ойындар
The PlayStation 4 is such a great console to own and collect for, and prices are very low currently. I'm doing this video to discuss the console and some of the great games that you should pick up right now!

I'm never really sure how new I want to go with my videos, but I get a lot of good use out of my PS4 Pro and PS4 is over a decade old now. What games do you still play on the PS4? What other videos would you like me to make?
I bought a ps4 few days Earlier. Great machine tbh. I am playing days gone and god of war 2016... Planing to buy some great games in spring sales.. Its a value for money

@gerigaming4149 is it good to buy from amazon? Where did you buy yours
I brought a PS4 Pro in really good condition with 2 controllers and 8 physical games for 150 bucks. After tax and shipping from it was around 180. I got lucky because this Pro model had the figure 8 A.C input which indicates it's the newer and better model. I opened up the fan and cleaned it out, it wasn't that dirty so I expected the previous owner didn't play it much. I have a lot of games I brought last Black Friday and still haven't opened or played yet. There's no need to rush to get the PS5.

the graphics on the ps4 are amazinh, even until this day, but one thing you have to keep in mind is, that the ps4 only runs at 30fps. This makes ist, that the game kinda looks blurry when moving around and i really hate it, that you can't uncap it or something. But from what I know, some games run at 60 fps on the ps4 pro. So if you have bo problem playing at 30 frames per second, then the ps4 is still amazing.

Hey what's that game playing in the intro of the video the schmup one? Looks interesting. I'm still on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X along with a Switch and haven't upgraded yet. I don't even have a 4k tv yet I'm still living the best life with everything that 2018 and before has to offer me. I have like 50 games on the PS4 alone that I haven't played yet lol. I won't allow myself to upgrade until I clear some of my backlog.

If you've never even thought about VR, try to get a cheap PSVR set. I managed to get one for $70 and haven't looked back since. RE, Saints & Sinners, Hitman, GT... it'll blow your mind if you've never seen it before. Great entry point system to see if you like it or not. Not to mention the hundreds of other regular games worthy of your time.

@@thegamethrifter Lockdowns did contribute because covid brought an economic crisis on game studios leading to layoffs and slowing game development. This is worsened by the fact that games are so advanced in terms of graphical fidelity that they take long to make. But tbvf no game has really compelled me ro get a ps5, ps4 has so many amazing cross gen games and older games, kinda hard to believe how many cross gen games there have been, i remember when the ps4 was released, barely any new gen titles came to the ps3, but with the ps5 its just a different story :(

I recently bought a PS4 Pro 1TB with 2 Dualshock 4 controllers from a friend for only $167.80 (RM800 in Malaysian Ringgit). He had it since 2021, and decided to sell it to me as he considers to buy a PS5. Some people said it's not worth buying a PS4 in 2024, but I think it's a good deal for me as I'm not really into the new gen games, I merely wanted to play all the games that I missed out on during PS4 peak era.

The zoom function is not enough on the vita. I’m curious to see if System Shock remake is playable (UI). I have a little idea. Since I remote play locally without using internet, I will order a wifi antenna for the vita (flat patch antenna, internal mod) and one for the ps4. Hoping it will help with the range.
