If Sony was trying to make a statement with the release of the PlayStation 4 console, it went well. Unlike most of the rhetoric and the huge pre-game topics, PS 4 seems to have handed over that claim, it is the most powerful console in the market. It has seen another review of its appearance and several major design changes of the dual shock controller. In addition, it expanded the memory and greatly improved the performance of the processor. These upgrades are obviously handsome and the PS4 provides amazing HD graphics that work seamlessly and lightning.
Playstation enthusiasts with some excellent game titles, streaming access, multiplayer capabilities can witness the newest arrival. The price of this console is about 100 dollars cheaper than its ferocious rival Xbox One. It stood today, the PS 4 made a considerable entrance.
Performance: 5.0 / 5.0
PS4 is equipped with a single chip processor combining eight cores x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" CPU and 1.84 teraflop GPU. It is supported by 8 GB of GDDR 5 RAM and has a 500 GB mechanical hard drive. Sony's new hardware demonstrates 10 times the performance of the latter PS3. That's a pretty wonderful foot.
Another nice touch is the fact that the PS4 comes with a 500 GB drive. This extra space is useful for downloading movies and games from the PlayStation market. If you feel pressed for the universe, do not worry because the hard drive can also be upgraded by doing it without invalidating the warranty.
The PS4's HD graphics are phenomenal, and console responsiveness is unprecedented so far. It is even more impressive that there is no sound like a runway or jet like overheating, and driving at such a high level is possible. In other words, it goes without saying that the entire power supply device is housed inside the unit. In contrast to Xbox One, which is connected to an external power cord to save space in the console.
Features: 5.0 / 5.0
PS4 has the same half mat black and half gloss exterior as Xbox One. Still, it has a completely different appearance. This is because the PS4 has a slim and sophisticated design and does not look like an oversized VCR since the mid 80's. If PS 3 is available and pleased, you probably will not be asked by Prom. Well, for everyone who got angry with such a wonderful statement, I always said that my mother is always "what the interior is doing". And regarding that, I'm sure of you, PS 4 will be the first one that was still asked for dancing.
PS 4 has seen some settings for components. Therefore, older PlayStation peripheral devices will not work. Please try to imagine.
PS4 does not have a backward function to play your PS3 title, but many of the games you previously own can purchase with a considerable discount from the online store. The only way is to insert the old PS3 disk into the console while playing the online version.
Games purchased from the PlayStation Store are downloaded directly to your hard drive so you do not have to worry about losing or scratching the disc. The only negative thing is that you can not borrow downloaded titles on weekends or exchange credits at local game stores. As the purchase form of this game gets widespread, stores like GameStop and other games trading retailers may be hitting. In other words, it may be sitting next to Blockbuster in "Reminiscence Park".
The new PS4 dual shock 4 has seen some physical changes that make it a little prominent from the previous one. Some of the more prominent changes specific to analog sticks. Slightly a bit apart to avoid thumb collision. They are also designed with a dented top and are covered with a rubber coating, so the grip has been strengthened. Dual shock 4 comes with an external speaker for headset and headphone jack, but only stereo output from controller connection can be done. One of the best design features of Dual Shock 4 is a metal touch pad on the surface of the controller. It works just like a laptop's touchpad and is very smooth and responsive.
Although you can purchase and use Dual Shock 4 with PS 3, the old Dual Shock 3 controller is incompatible with PS 4.
If you already own PS Vita you can stream the game from PS 4 via Wi-Fi and send it to the handheld. This will create a second viewing screen that closely resembles the Wii U so that someone else can play the game while using the TV. This is a wonderful feature, but it probably does not justify buying PS Vita by itself.
Although the Playstation camera is a nice touch, it is not as robust as the Xbox Kinect, and it seems that there is not enough game interaction to create the value of the game. There is also a voice command function, but it is very limited. Consider spending money on another controller instead.
Multimedia: 4.4 / 5.0
PS 4 seems to have swept behind the previous plan that it is an all-in-one media hub. Even so, unlike PS3, although it can demonstrate the best performance among Blu-ray and DVD players, you can not play music files and CDs, or stream content easily from PC. Instead, it seems to work like Roku. Nevertheless, if you need to use the console to play games or access Netflix or other movie apps, please set them. Needless to say, movies can be easily accessed, and lightning can be read quickly. You can also use PS4 to connect to social networks and share game highlights.
As long as music flows, both Xbox and PS4 have their own channels. PlayStation, of course, offers "Music Unlimited" at a small fee. It behaves like Pandora, and the user can listen to the entire album. The only weakness is that it is somewhat late and unrefined to recognize the true genre of music and artists you desire. In addition to this function, "Video Unlimited" is attached. Another movie-based channel that unexpectedly chooses the title and allows streaming to alternate devices.
In PlayStation's online gaming community, interface and gameplay functions have been greatly improved. The only drawback is much like Xbox, so PS4 users will have to pay a fee to access the multiplayer area. This is a change from PS3 which was free, but experience has been greatly improved, it is considered worth the cost.
One convenient function of PS4 is iOS and Android application, connect to the PlayStation store, so that you can purchase and download the game away. With this application, the game is automatically downloaded to the console while you are at home, you can play immediately after arrival. After all, PS 4 is still a great multimedia department with great interactions and various features, but there is no depth to experience with PS 3. Due to some of these complaints, Sony is paying attention and I think they will coordinate some of the updates.
Bottom line: 4.9 / 5.0
The price of PS4 is cheaper than Xbox One by 100 dollars, but even if you delete the Kinect component in order to lower the price of Xbox, PS 4 is a better dollar value. Its performance can not be denied. Even if Xbox One is a successfully assembled unit, do not scrape Sony and elbows until Microsoft resolves the performance problem.
On the lower side, the PS4 has only two USB ports facing the front. We felt PS3 also had this design error, but obviously it was not. Also, the depth of the game titles like Xbox One is missing. And that is always a problem. But it is within range, there are plenty of exclusive heavy seats and promising future.
PS4 is a powerful game console that provides exactly what gamers are asked for. A seamless HD game experience with full functionality and control. Based on its reasonable performance, design improvements, and price points, the Consumer High Five Review will not hesitate to the first round draft.
