PlayStation 4

Honestly I am not even interested in PS4 and especially PS5 exploits, the only reason I have PS3 is to play split screen games with kids or kids alone, the push to online play killed consoles for me, PS3 was the peak of split screen gaming, PS4 and PS5 have significantly less split screen games than PS3 and let's not forget you can play PS1 and PS2 split screen games on PS3, so I guess for someone not playing split screen games these jailbreaks are relevant, but for me they killed their newer consoles with abandoninh split screen games. I bought our previous PS3 Slim for 40EUR including shipping, after one year it died most likely because of RSX (random artifacts, no overheating), now bought PS3 Super Slim for 50EUR, will see how long will last that, but anyway if it would be 40-50EUR per year of offline split screen gaming I am fine with that, using HEN. and since someone asked me here recently what we play, here copypasta: What we/they play: my favorite game (but they are sick of it, not appreciating it, most of the time I win) is Worms 2 Armageddon (part of Worms Revolution collection) Blur - racing with fun for me and son Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing or Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - all of us including dauther Little Big Planet - co-op platformer, all of us liked it until it got really difficult NHL Legacy edition - all of us ocassionally MotorStorm - Pacific Rift - racing, seems only son, but I can bear it for while Children like (but without me): Minecraft - PlayStation 3 Edition - they play it offline like all games we have, I guess it is co-op Rayman Legends - co-op platformer The Simpsons Game - co-op platformer, but needs to think, can get stuck in places and since we watch together MotoGP and F1 they recently started to play F1 2013 - Complete Edition, but seems too difficult, for racing the best fun is first Sonic all star racing or Blur on PS2: LEGO Batman - co-op platformer, but requires lot of thinking Shrek 2 - same as above we liked from P

Same here, I bought it when it came out in one of those nice carton boxes. It was rather buggy and hard to play without a walkthrough. The characters, the music, the story, the dialog, it's all so memorable and easily makes up for those bugs and hard puzzles. I played the remaster when it came out on PS4 as well, still great, but perhaps that's just the nostalgia.

[...] The bandwidth of the asset streaming they accomplished on the PS4, with such a small team that still had to build the rest of the game, is the only thing that makes me raise an eyebrow. [...]

i played it day 1 back then and even bought a PS4 only to play it and played it over the years repeatedly after every larger update for about 1000 hours in total. [...]

[...] We were promised that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation of hardware would be significantly more powerful than it ended up being. [...]

[...] I've made an ESP32 powered RC tank on tracks, controlled with a PlayStation 4 controller over Bluetooth. The basic software is very easy to start with, about 20 lines of C using a library for the Bluetooth controller. [...] Using two sticks for two tracks works at low speed, but the thing goes close to 20 km/h (I've used two drone motors for it) so then you need a different control method. I ended up with rpm limited direct track control using the "triggers" on the dual shock controller. And more intuitive left stick up/down for throttle, right stick left/right for steering for high speed operation. [...]

Reminds me of mortal kombat X on the playstation 4. [...] Full screen ads you have to click past just to get to the main menu, even more ads on the main menu once you get there, paywalled off characters and moves, time gates, etc. I can't imagine paying full price for a game and putting up with that shit. [...]

Before the existence of Blue Retro or any commerically available adapter, I wanted to use Playstation 4 Dual Shock wireless controllers with my Sega Saturn as an analog controller. [...]

No, but I'm using a PS4 controller with my Linux PC. Really comfy controller, I just had to replace the original charging port since it stopped working with usb-c and also I had to replace the rubber pads inside. Very cheaply made given the price, but it's one of the few controllers with a touch pad that works on Linux. [...]

[...] I thought they've got rid of pressure sensitive buttons in PS3 already, not PS4. [...]

[...] They also didn't focus on games when showing it off and it was priced $100 higher than PS4 despite being weaker because of the bundled Kinect nobody wanted. [...]

Last of US I replayed about 5 years ago on the PS4, and it isn't a good game. [...] Most games are just building off of what's been done before. [...] When you do, it's hit or miss on them being worthwhile, but sometimes the novelty helps make up for the shortcomings. [...]

I’d say something like a PS4 is future proof. $350 got like 10 years of modern software.

Will you want to play those PS4 games in 10-20 years? [...] Just to put the PlayStation 4 in perspective, that system was released in Nov 2013. [...]

Their models have strict guardrails, This is what bothers me most, and it's getting increasingly frustrating. With the recent development of PS4/5 emulation and game porting, it will only get worse (back snatching or lawsuits).

[...] The library is pathetic compared to PS4. [...] Rumors of $1600-$1800 price tag? [...] Used to be you couldn’t build a comparable PC for a console’s price until easily 3-4yr into the console cycle.

The thing is really that even entry level gaming is getting expensive. I was considering building a pc and everything is expensive, I was going to replace the disk of my ps4 thag I bought used for 100$ and the 1tb ssd costs 150$

I'm keeping my ps4 as long as the hardware still runs because at least I can still buy discs for it. I have a nice collection of high-replay-value single player games. I know discs are just physical licenses at this point in time, not actual software on disc like the old school days. [...]

[...] Sony's PS4 went to my local electronics recycler and I haven't bought a Sony product since. [...]

If it's anything like the PS4, you might be able to fix this by running a HTTP proxy using Squid and configuring that on the PlayStation. There's something really funky about Sony's networking on them, and configuring a squid proxy for my PS4 vastly sped up my downloads. I tried to find an article covering this but I've had no luck, so I'm just going off memory here, but I'm pretty certain that's all that was required.

[...] PlayStation 4 and the new XBox are god awful. [...] It made all the previous customer/user knowledge worthless. [...]

Not just Nintendo. The PlayStation 4 controller had that touchpad in the middle that also clicked in to act as a button. I played a lot of games that used it as a button (usually to open a map, or something) and don't remember a single game that used it as a touchpad.

I don't think Dreams gets enough credit because it came out at the end of the PlayStation 4's life and it didn't get a lot of marketing, but it absolutely is fantastic. I'd say it's the best implementation of visual scripting I've ever seen, and that's using a traditional game controller (or two PSMove controllers) instead of a mouse/keyboard. [...]

I have got good results with Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 cameras (which also have a mic). They are available for $15-20 on ebay.

[...] Bought one for my PlayStation 2 and it works perfectly with my PlayStation 4 compatible controller. It's awesome :D And when I bought it I didn't even know that it was open hardware. [...]

[...] PlayStation 4 and Xbox One came out in 2013. Resident Evil Village came out on Playstation 4 and Xbox One on 2021. [...] It's also completely irrelevant to the fact that the most impressive game on iphone is a port of a game that also came out on PS4 and Xbox One.

[...] --- PS1 = 102 million units sold PS2 = 160 PS3 = 87 million PS4 = 117 million PS5 = 95 million (June 2026) --- These numbers would be bad alone, but two things make them especially awful. [...]

I was 13 years old, and he called me from work wishing me a happy Christmas before asking what I got, which I told him that I got a PlayStation 4. [...]

I am aware. But the question was what can the current generation do that the last one didn't - well, PS4 couldn't so that, PS5 can. And because it's built right into Wwise a lot of games support it(whether it's wired in correctly in them is a different question, but I know all games I've worked on had it)

[...] You can look at what being achieved right now with AI, GoW3 (an absolute master piece BTW) on the PS4 Remaster can be played on Linux at 120FPS thanks to some decompilation/reverse engineering framework with AI. [...]

Last of US I replayed about 5 years ago on the PS4, and it isn't a good game. [...]

Aside what was already said: a lot of people do genuinely think GPL is a stupid idea that needs to go and Linux could have been licensed under MIT or even CC0; however, I think one should be cognizant of the fact that virtually no mass produced product other than Macs and PS4/PS5 use BSD and the rest uses Linux, often begrudgingly, but benefiting tremendously from both free-beer and forced-libre nature of it.

[...] I got a DOA PlayStation 4 and an expensive LG monitor.

I've also used phones which haven't received any updates for years without any obvious problems. [...] For example, that's how one of the the first methods of jailbreaking PlayStation 4 operated. Your average Joe six-pack like myself probably shouldn't really worry about it though, it seems more likely to be used against really high value targets. [...]
