The PlayStation 4 Legacy: Why This Console Was So Important.

  • Right now all eyes are on Sony's next console, PlayStation 5. But as we look back on the eighth generation, and PS4 specifically, we really have to appreciate what this console meant to Sony's business. PlayStation 4 represents a U-turn at the company, with everyone being laser focused on getting it right. And when you look beyond the initial sales, you see some of Sony's most dynamic initiatives in PlayStation history, from the mid-cycle PS4 Pro, to PSVR, and even PlayStation Now. It really feels like another PS1, setting a foundation for what will be the future of the brand. So let's talk that legacy! Or really, you watch this video and I'll get back to Ghost of Tsushima because I'm still working my way through that. It's hard to finish games when I make videos like these, you feel me.

    If it failed ,it might have been the last traditional console we ever got . PS4's success has secured the existence of PS5 and perhaps further future hardware as well as the existence of expensive triple A releases. If it failed , we would probably be condemned to cheap mobile games made for the huge masses owning phones and not caring about cutting edge graphics/serious gaming experiences and shitty F2P games full of microtransactions . So its important that all of us move into nextgen and convince our friends to do so to . That way we will ensure a bright future of nextgen after nextgen of graphical and gaming greatness .

    The PS2 was my first PlayStation, and I will always remember it for establishing why the brand is my favorite gaming platform. Unique, must-have exclusive experiences that coaxed me away and convinced me to trade my Xbox for a PS2. Plus, it has one of the greatest gaming libraries ever.
    The PS3 will always be the most nostalgic PlayStation for myself. It was the PlayStation of my preteen and early teenage years. Much like myself, it was the problem child of its family. It also introduced me to some of my all time favorite gaming franchises like Uncharted, The Last of Us, inFamous etc. Not to mention online multiplayer gaming with PSN. The PS3 was...special and unforgettable.
    The PS4 is my favorite game console of all time. It redefined and amped up all of my favorite exclusive game franchises to new heights (TLOU Part 2, Uncharted 4, GOW) and it introduced brand new high quality exclusives as well (Spider-Man, HZD, GOT etc.) and it even brought back classics that I never got to play that are now beloved to me (FFVII Remake). It also delivered amazing 3rd party support, established great indie support, and it innovated with brand new features (Share Button/Photo Mode etc.) and hardware (PSVR).
    My biggest regret? Being born at the tail end of the PS1’s lifecycle (late 90’s). Regardless, I’m grateful that I’m alive to see Sony usher in their greatest generation yet with the PS5. #GreatnessAwaits #PlayHasNoLimits

    PS4 really did well after the issues of the PS3 - when your platform is the base platform that all developers want to work on first and foremost, and consumers want those games (creating a positive feedback loop), you know you've hit a winner. Ryan said it well - it has something for everyone. Even those who don't care much for the first party titles have a breadth of third parties across various genres they can play.

    I bought my PS4 in April 2020 (for FF7 Remake) and played video games for the first time in nearly 20 years. It was an amazing experience when I grabbed the controller, because the unchanging feel of it reminded me of all the good memories of PS1 era, and I was impressed by how they kept working so hard to improve this industry while I was completely ignorant for 20 years. I remember I bought Sega Saturn first at that time because I was skeptical about how Sony could handle its first console in the game industry. I was wrong. Now I’m playing Sega’s games with PS4 and that’s still weird to me, but it makes me feel that Sony came a long long way. I’m really enjoying playing the games now.

    I was lucky to have had PS1 and PS2 in my childhood. Eventually, I got to buy myself the PS3 slim and recently the PS4 PRO and it was worth every cent. I have been enjoying so much my PS4 PRO and the graphics looks just amazing. It really has brought me so much joy. Just to be able to play modern games in a great quality is just something I could not do on my laptop, which I only use for work and studying.. Though PC might look even better, it is waaaaaaay more expensive than these consoles and I just can not afford to set up one. Eventually, I will be looking forward to buy the PS5 Slim or PRO.

    PS4 PlayLink party games are some of our favorite local multiplayer games. You use your tablet or cellphone as the controller and some games go beyond 4 players. We’ve done 6 players at once. I’m not surprised that you didn’t mention those because most of them didn’t come to the US but since PS4 isn’t region locked, I was able to import games from around the world. Definitely worth looking into if you’re interested in party games. Frantics, Melbits World and Chimparty are just a few.

    I love my PS4 slim! I was late in the game and didn't get it until January of 2019. But I have enjoyed it and have about 60 physical games for it. Mainly why I waited was I got my first PS3 in 2016 (which is the fat 60gb true backwards compatible, upgraded to a 1tb hard drive) and was enjoying and collecting for that one. And when the Spider-Man bundle came out at a good price. (which I love the box art and it came with the physical game) I had to jump onto the next gen. and get a PS4. I have been a fan since the beginning of PlayStation. And still to this day, the PS2 is my favorite console and the PS2 dual shock is still to me the best controller ever made.

    PS3 launch felt like the Saturn all over again to me. So much power, but nobody was utilizing it properly. I was in the military when this gen launched. Everyone in the barracks got a 360 on launch. Few people got a PS3, and there just wasn't much out for it at that time that was better than the 360 versions. Move forward say 2yrs...all those 360s had RRd...and Sony was beginning to hit on all cylinders. I finally picked one up when MGS4 came out, the momentum was swaying to Sony at that time. From that point on, it was game on. PS3 had one of the best 2nd ½s I've ever seen. So much momentum on PS4 launch. And I remember getting one and a couple games, and then it was like ok what now for monnnths. I mainly went XBOX for that gen. Not sure exactly why, but I just preferred the feel I guess, and Xbox live. Xbox One X was a big part of it. As well as paying for PS Network. If I'm gonna pay for a service, Live is where it's at. Or was then. They've improved PS Network a lot since then. Not to mention, all the kids had swapped sides from 360 to PS4. The servers were much clearer on XOne at the time lol.

    I loved PS3. But I've had some amazing single player experiences on PS4- some games that I got so emotionally invested in that it completely surprised me. I fell away from video games for a while- and Detroit: Become Human sucked me back in. The Last of Us Remastered, Spiderman, Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake... I can't believe it's been 7 years. I can't wait to see what's in store on PS5!

    I dont have a ps4 but still picked a dualshock 4 up because they make good bluetooth controller for mobile phones.

    PS4 games boosted on PS5 will be loved and revered!

      Boosted PS4 games should run beautifully on PS5. 4K60 HDR on most titles - and probably higher fps, maybe 120fps on some titles. They could even be optimized for Ray Tracing!

    I have my best gaming memories on the PS4. I’m going to miss this console 😢

    Not even talking about Final Fantasy 7 Remake^^ Man PS4 was great!

    I love the ps4. It's the greatest consol that's ever been. Reliable and powerful for its time. Still now the bar for console gaming.

      nonsense. Ps2 was a better console for it's time. Ps4 is sorely underpowered for it's time. Utter rubbish

    God, I still remember seeing the PS4 reveal live. What a landmark event that was.

    Fantastic video, Mystic! Really enjoy your deep dives into Playstation history. Here's to an awesome PS5 generation later this year!

    Comparing the launch PS4 titles and how they look now gets me excited for PS5s potential

    I am not a big Playstation fan but your videos are interesting and no clickbait. Keep doing this good work nice to see that not everyone on CZcams is acting like coldt Eastwood or dealer 👍

    I gotta give the PS4 credit for its reliability. It's the only PS console I've never had issues with. Went through 2 PS1 consoles. Regularly had to take my PS2 apart to clean the lens. PS3 was an absolute nightmare and even my third PS3 is on its last legs. My PS4 is a launch model and never had a single problem with it.
