Buying And Playing A PS4 In 2024: Is It Still Worth It? 

Absolutely!

Which ps4?

Thank you. Wondering if it’s still good and this is really helpful

@@Not_Max23 Absolutely!

​@@K.oShaudslim version

As a PS5 owner, I agree with you. There's not a whole lot right now worth upgrading for.

Do ssd you will have great fun

Ps4 pro is perfect for anyone that does not have a high refresh rate display imo. Once you upgrade the hard drive to a ssd you basically have a ps4.5 😂

@@Avery370Z I think it depends on what type of games they want to play. Stuff like Fortnite and COD are 60fps.

PS4 is the PERFECT budget console! TONS of awesome games! And thank you for watching my video!

@@thegamethrifter No problem💯

Glad you enjoyed it

Turn off motion blur when you can. BUT, there's tons of games on PS4 that run 60fps like Call Of Duty, fighting games, remasters like The Last Of Us!

@@thegamethrifterhow about fortnite?

Even some ps3 games are still impressive

@@2pacaveli257 Absolutely! Many are awesome even in 2024!

@@kulasszz 60fps

Have to agree! And I own a PS5 and this gen has been kind of a letdown. Not sure if it was because of the industry in general or because of the lockdowns, but it's been kinda lackluster.

@@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 :(

@@areefsajid5726 Yeah, we're seeing it now unfortunately. Lackluster games, incomplete games ECT

Absolutely! I have PSVR and PSVR2 and VR is such a fun experience!

YES!

Resogun, it's actually a cross-buy game. It's on PS4, PS3 and Vita!

@@thegamethrifter ah thanks sadly its not available in the PAL region

ABSOLUTELY!

AWESOME! Let me know how it goes!

I'm ordering the ps4 pro on Monday, one of my dreams is finally coming true, to play on the ps4 exclusive games, I also have an xbox, I've played a lot of good games there too, but they're not exclusive I'll use xbox for more new game releases and the ps4 i use for exclusives games if you asking, why I didn't buy a ps5 at first because I have the series s and then the ps5 was expensive in 2020

@@ASD-mb1tm Completely understand! And have fun!

That's awesome!

@@thegamethrifter Detroit Become Human play really well on remote play. Titanfall 2 is good, Doom 2016 not bad (input delay), sadly cyberpunk is unplayable because the UI is too small. 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. Anyhow, have a nice day !

@@johnbartender3451 Awesome! Let me know how it plays!

It'd play much better!

​@@thegamethrifterShould I buy the PS4 slim or the Pro?

@@lexbeltran1354 Pro is much better, especially if you have a 4K TV.

There's barely anything current gen worthwhile IMO. Even the best stuff like Elden Ring is cross-gen.

Wouldn't blame you! I own a PS5 but still game a lot on my Star Wars PS4 Pro!

They will until the next one for sure.

Great time to get games for PS4!

Well I bought one, but I think I bought it more out of the fact that I buy every new console at release.

Better performance and ps5 exclusives but the ps4 is still pretty good

@@No0bSlasher Yeah, obviously stuff gets better performance. But I played God Of War Ragnarok on both PS4 and PS5 and it played fine on PS4

That is a great option! I have the Star Wars PS4 Pro myself and it's awesome!

Might as well, seems like the games don't even take advantage of it until that point.

Me too!

God Of War (2018), God Of War Ragnarok, Detroit: Become Human, The Last Of Us Remaster, The Last Of Us 2, Ghost Of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank (2016), Spider-Man (2018), Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Uncharted 4, Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection

What type of games do you like?

@@Jeustful The ones I listed!

I can understand it. I've always been more of an Xbox guy myself, but some of the PS4 games are really well done.

Fantastic game and highly underrated!

Can't blame ya, but that's over a year away assuming it's not delayed again.

Buy a series x you won’t be disappointed

Series X has a huge library of 360 and cheap Xbox One games. So I'd pick that TBH. PS4 is still a good console though if you can find one cheap!

@@thompsonpatrick79 Great console, maybe the best ever to this point. Just wish Microsoft supported it with more back compat titles and exclusives.

I'm a fanboi of PS but get an Xbox if that is yer concern. It's all good. 😁

Can't argue at all....

NICE!

The slim is less noisy had had 500GB of space still can play all the games u want, the pro has 1TB of space supports 4k HDR but much more noisy

I'd go Pro if possible.

Some Pro's have 2TB hard drives!

If u want a quieter gaming experience go for slim if u want 4k HDR plus extra space go for the pro. Otherwise they both run the same games 🤷‍♂️

@@MjN0921 Pro sometimes has options for better frame rate and things. Games IMO run much better. I have the Star Wars Pro and it is fairly quiet, but I've heard the slim is extremely loud with The Last Of us 2, Ghost Of Tsushima ECT

Some games will be current gen only for sure, but I think Call Of Duty, Madden, FIFA will continue on. As will updates for games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Minecraft, Roblox ECT

@@thegamethrifter there are some games with story ??

@@isn0thanaf759 Some! Like a new Prince Of Persia game just released and it's pretty good!

agree!

It's getting more expensive to make games. They try to use these consoles as much as possible.

Yea, but Miles Morales is the better game IMO and that's on PS4.

@@thegamethrifter yes but short and venom is one of my favorite characters, spiderman 2 will probably be my favorite if I can play it in the future

@@ASD-mb1tm I didn't enjoy Spider-Man 2 as much as Miles Morales or the first game, but that's just me.
