PlayStation 4 - 10 Years Later (Yes, Really) - Adam Koralik

[@mazda9624]

First GTA 5 turned 10 years old, and now the PS4 console. I don't know how to explain it, but 2013 to me is the first year that still feels so modern that I simply can not comprehend it *actually* being a decade ago. I know a lot of people say that time flies and it's all just part of getting older, which I totally understand, but man I *really* was not ready for the PS4 to be 10 years old today.

[@FranchisePlayyer]

Hard to believe that it’s already been 10 years. Wow time flies

[@FlintG]

Yup I still remember when the ps4 came out with the xbox one. I still have my ps4 slim but barely use it since I got a ps5 now.

[@FranchisePlayyer]

@@FlintG yeah I never use my ps4 anymore, I just play my collection on ps5

[@jimmyjay689]

Crazy fast

[@cyphaborg6598]

The crazy thing about that time was we didn't even have an Xbox One launch over here (There never was a Kinect mandatory system here) like some territories did. They did use this country to ship them to other countries but meanwhile not launching it here. I didn't want an Xbox One with Kinect mandatory to begin with so I didn't really mind. (It did launch without like in Sept/Oct 2014) I don't think that ever happened here before with any other consoles. @@FlintG

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Thanks for stating the obvious.

[@Mars3Dart]

Miss the late PS3/PS4/Vita-era, possibly peak Sony imo. Insane to think that was now a decade ago 🥲

[@GenerationZ313]

Ah yes, the time that we had 3 Sony consoles on the market at the same time. I mean, we had Uncharted 3 on PS3, Uncharted Golden Abyss on Vita, and Uncharted 4 on PS4, all of which provided different experiences, just to name a few.

[@aiodensghost8645]

​@GenerationZ313 Tearaway on Vita is superior to the PS4 version. I'm still wishing they didn't strand Soul Sacrifice on the Vita. Glad Gravity Rush at least got a shot (and even a sequel)

[@Mars3Dart]

@aiodensghost8645 Freedom Wars is another one stuck on the Vita, it was a neat ARPG for what it is

Yeah there was something special about the interplay between the Vita and PS4 and the games that you could buy for both...

its 10 years old , and still a great system with a lot of games that i would love to play (or play again if i played them already) PS2 and PS4 are two of my favorite systems from Sony.

[@JebberGamingJaws]

I’ve been hit hard with PS4 nostalgia over the past month. I didn’t even realize it has been 10 years. Makes sense!

[@OcarinaHero93]

When the PS4 was first teased back in February 2013 I remember how excited I was to see how Microsoft was going to compete with Sonys offering, being completely invested in the Xbox 360 generation. Then the biggest letdown of a reveal happened with the Xbox One and everything Xbox was doing pushed me towards the PS4. I preordered it the day it was available and went home happy with it on launch day. It was such a great console, super reliable, the games were fantastic, online multiplayer and service felt competitive with XBL, the controller was innovative. Fond memories with the PS4. I actually thank Microsoft for their screw up otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten to know Sonys exclusives even though I grew up owning a PS2 but didn’t play it much. It felt just right owning a PS4 that generation. The energy for the brand felt revived in a way I hadn’t felt since PS2. I eventually ended up buying an Xbox One a few years later but man, PS4 had me dedicated to it for the initial few years of that generation. Good times.

[@ScottCastle]

Man I hadn't even thought if you'd ever do an 8th Gen recap... Time really does fly.

[@Mr.Plant1994]

Those new thumbnails are great dude!

[@ChanManChewey]

I have my PS4 put up, but 10 years flown by. It's in my top 5 favorite consoles of all time. When u look at it as a whole, it's not bad. It was a whirlwind of things around it. Gave shenmue n final fantasy fans, the games they wanted in shenmue 3 n FFVIIR respectively. Started the Spider-Man games. Sony gave a platform for Kojima n his new game after Konami situation. There is probably a plethora of things I'm not naming or forgetting. It was, to me, a fantastic console that gave me everything I wanted. I'm just thankful that the PS5 is BC because the PS4 has a gr8 game selection. I'll remember the PS4 as a great console to have.

[@xsmokebeersx1]

I remember picking up my PS4 slim back in 2018. Got it for 200, and it came with Spider-Man and 2 controllers. Ended up picking up God of War, Last of Us, uncharted collection, and Detroit all with the system for about 300 total. That was the best Black Friday for me of all time! Now my PS4 has a new life in my son’s room!

[@elbromasdewalmart1631]

Mine in 2019 😮

[@DavidMcNae-mm1wb]

I got the PS4 pro on black friday 2018. I had to update my games which were over a total of 800gb and it took all day so I went out and socialised with my friends and I got drunk with them then I got home it just finished half of hour before I got home. That's was a good black friday for me.

I’m still rocking with my PS4 Pro but I plan maybe getting the PS5 Slim at some point in future. I like that the disc drive is detachable cause you can get an replacement when it inevitably dies from age

[@KimulatorsFilms]

How did you not talk about "I'm in love with your dead grandmother" and "Potato Sack Racing Simulator 2024" 😩 Just kidding, love your videos! 🤣

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Playstation got quite Americanised during the PS4 generation, huh. New 3DS did come out before the PS4 Pro but it was VEEEERY under-utilised officially. PS4 Pro could boost any game's framerate out of the box even if it didn't support higher resolutions but New 3DS only received a few games that took advantage of its enhanced guts. Good thing softmodding is an option.

[@dubbzzyyy7720]

10 years is crazy to me. I remember getting mine august 2014 right before my freshman year of college. Great times.

[@RetroWolf13]

wow I learned soo much in this video thank you dude

[@erneststackhouse1133]

Happy 10th Birthday to PS4 on Nov 15th 2013!!! My son moved onto Xbox, so I got the PS4 just a few years ago (as I take all his consoles he no longer plays as I'm a Retro Gamer.) As most people love Spider-Man on the PS4 my game was Godzilla. That game put a tear in my eye when I played it, felt like Godzilla something I've been wanting to do since childhood. Going to have to pick up Alien Isolation for the PS4, haven't played an Alien game since the original PS1, so I think it's about time to get a new Alien Game. Thanks for the Tip!

[@aiodensghost8645]

Put the PlayStation camera on your PS4 if you want a harder time.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

If I recall correctly your PS4 unboxing was one of the first videos of yours I saw, so I guess this is also roughly the 10th anniversary of my viewership. Thanks for all the great videos and I hope the next 10 years are even better.

When I started watching these recaps, I thought all the "time really flies" talk was mostly window dressing, but over the years it increased in significance to me. It really does get more bizarre the older I get and seeing you cover the PS4 in the same way I saw you recap the 7th gen when I first discovered your channel really hits different.

[@peterbruin5154]

Was not expecting Alien Isolation. Would deffo be in my top 5.

[@shelbystone9121]

Great video as usual! It really is amazing how long it has been since the launch. Makes me feel old! Even with my PS5, I still pull out my PS4 to play sometimes. I just feel bad to neglect a system I made so many memories on.

[@dend1]

10 years since the xbox one really hits hard

[@TheChaoticWolf]

Wow 10 years. Doesn't even really feel like it's been a decade. I remember being excited about it coming out. And now the PS3 is 17. Time sure flies

[@aiodensghost8645]

The PS2 is 23.

[@llfallen0nell884]

I Was 7, 10 years ago playing 3ds and Xbox 360

[@Dman130]

If the console came out 10 years ago, that means I have been subscribed for 10 years. Oh my goodness time flies!

[@dftknight]

The PS3 wasn't intentionally complicated. The Sony/Toshiba/IBM really believed cell architecture was the future of computing and invested a lot into the technology and it made sense for Sony to put the computer tech they were investing in into their current console. Turns out most game devs though the juice wasn't worth the squeeze to develop games for cell architecture.

[@TempoLOOKING]

Power 7 was out. What a waste

[@cryptocsguy9282]

@@TempoLOOKING PowerISA was also used on the xbox 360 and wii but idk if they use the exact same variation. There's lots of interesting stories I think from Phill Harrison or someone about working with IBM when their chip fabs were manufacturing the CPUs for the 7th gen home consoles and how the microsoft/Sony/Nintendo had to keep secrets from the rivial video game companies while working with their different IBM teams. I would have also presumed that IBM made a lot of money off that contracts but they shutdown or sold off some of their chip fabs in 2014 , no idea if that influenced the decision by sony/microsoft to switch to x86 for the ps4/xbox one.🤔

[@myretronation]

the 8th gen marked the end of my geeking out and getting excited over consoles, since they're now just PCs in a box :( I miss the esoteric hardware in previous generation consoles instead of the homogenized PC/Xbox/PS environment we have today

[@cryptocsguy9282]

I have a ps4 and never used it to actually play games yet so I have lots of gaming to catch up on that system. I hate waiting for a hour for spiderman to install 😑 when on any console pre ps4/xbox one you just put the cartridge/disc in and it plays 😄(I guess xbox 360/ps3 did sometimes download updates before starting a game).

[@Mobius_Ap3x]

10 years! Wow! I remember when it came out and close to I think The Last Of Us launch on ps3! Great video Adam! 😎

[@carlovesadventure5757]

Who here still plays there Ps3? 😅 I do.

[@Supersayainpikmin]

When the console was relevent I remember thinking it was kinda plain, but honestly, looking back it was pretty decent. Two things I really enjoyed was that it was the first console to embrace physical indies. A lot of the same games made it to other consoles but having them physically makes the system stick out more. I also liked how on the Pro, you can turn off Super Sampling when playing at 1080p. This usually resulted in much smoother framerates, making them the best playing version of the game on consoles, even if they didn't look as nice compared to Xbox One X, and really made me consider which game I got for which console since I had both. Big dissapointment for me that the PS5 doesn't have that ability.

[@ScrapKing73]

In addition to the NEC SuperGrafx, the Game Boy Color, the New 3DS, the PS4 Pro, and the Xbox One X, there’s also the Nintendo DSi. The DSi has more RAM and a faster CPU than the original DS (and DS Lite). And yes, there were some DSi-specific physical games, and many DSi-specific games through digital distribution.

[@bestgirl2500]

Its so crazy that its already been 10 years...The PS4 is almost as old as the PS2 was when the PS4 came out...

[@GenerationZ313]

I remember when they revealed that they were discontinuing the PS2 shortly before a big announcement (which, of course, ended up being the PS4). At the time, I was actually hoping the PS2 was going to last until the PS4 was released. While we ultimately got games that came out for the PS2 during the launch of the PS4 (e.g. Fifa 14) it would've been cool to be able to plug & play a PS4 game, knowing we were still getting able to just buy a brand new PS2 at the same time if we wanted to.

[@jellyface401]

Every year I wait for all of these retrospectives to come out and watch them in a single sitting. Great analysis as always!

[@Braeden2002]

Got my ps4 10 years ago when I was 11. My mom bought one for me off her friend that had a bunch of them because he was a reseller.

[@ozmond]

Interesting……

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

I just got my PS4 Slim in September 2023, and I'm so happy with it. Ive wanted a PS4 since like 2014, but at the time I opted for a Wii U instead (definitely the right choice), and ever since I've focused on the Switch and building a PC. The system was finally at a point where I thought it was worth it due to the price and number of games, so I jumped on it for the 10th anniversary. I love Kingdom Hearts and wanted to be able to play the third game, and Yakuza has always interested me. Those two franchises alone have every game in the series on PS4, and then I get bonuses like the Gravity Rush games and Final Fantasy 14 on console for more casual play vs PC. It's such a great system, and I am happy to finally have one after all these years of wanting one. And yes, I know I could have got a PS5 instead, but I got the console with like 15+ games for less than I would have paid for a PS5 console alone, so it was totally worth it.

[@GenerationZ313]

I got two PS4 consoles back in 2021 myself. I had to get them both repaired but even after doing so I still paid less than the cost of a PS5 console.

[@ianeons9278]

Once the Switch 2 comes out you should do a proper 8th gen retrospective on the generation as a whole as well as the Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch individually. That would be epic.

[@dichotomus3764]

Hi guys, I am a year late to the party. Better than never, right? Anyway I bought the shenmue collection 1-3 even though I am not at a stage in my life that I can actively play video games (way too much going on to carve out hours to game). But I play Adam's videos in the background while working on other things and his support for the series inspired me to support the series now, hoping that in a few years time when I do have time to game again I can play all 3 with perhaps a fourth on the horizon. Time will tell.

[@ianeons9278]

Coincidentally the PS Portal came out on the PS4’s 10th birthday. I think that the PS4 will probably be discontinued by the end of the year if not then probably in 2024 or 2025. Sony has said they will continue to support the PS4 until 2025 and I think it will still have 3rd party games coming out for it until 2027-2031.

[@banginbadger75]

Great video. I grew up with Xbox but I picked up a PS4 just to play Spiderman & then experienced other amazing titles like Last of Us, God of war & Horizon Zero Dawn. I'll always remember my time with that console, the library of exclusive games is crazy.

[@pluvse]

Did you move onto the Xbox Series S/X or PS5?

[@HalfpennyTerwilliger]

​@@pluvsenot OP but similar experience. I currently own both a PS5 and XSX (and a Switch). Each platform has something interesting for me.

[@appleipodtouch2g]

You got something wrong I believe and thats that the PS4 is actually still being made, at least for US markets. I regularly see the ps4 getting restocked in retail stores again. They upped the ps4 production last year and were bundling the system with the new Call of Duty from last year. I just saw the PS4 get restocked at my local walmart here in the USA just this past month

It took Sony until 2017 imo to hit their stride but man when they did it was great. Hopefully PS5 can have a great second half as well

[@redslate]

I upgraded the HDD on one of these pretty early on to store multiple TBs of data. Had a couple haters claim it was "excessive" even as I cited ~100 GB games w/50+ GB updates (stock HDD was only 500 GB). It was an internal mod, super sleek; looked stock. Few years later, seemed like _everyone_ was upgrading their HDDs. Games weren't getting any smaller. 😅 Still got PT archived away for preservation.

Could also add the Nintendo DSi to the list of systems that got upgrades. It increased the resolution, and had like a handful of games that were exclusive to it. I think some of them even had a physical release, but a bunch were through the DSi Ware online store.

[@duffysullivan2794]

I'm still playing my PS4! When I finally upgraded my TV from a CRT to a modern 4k I also upgraded the PS4 to a PS4 Pro. The Pro is actually a very adequate console which is why I have not jumped on board with the PS5. My all time favorite PS4 game is Monster Hunter World. Now I am playing Eldenring. It's amazing in its open world and exploration, but has really demanding combat.

[@AdamKoralik]

Yes sir!

[@X4v10r]

(Disclaimer: that oh you possibly/probably knew Adam that I had to put in my two cents along with this video of yours, mostly because that I've mainly been about collecting more and possibly recent PS4 games for its "video game library", that yes I appreciate you releasing this video around this time and it's ironic for my case, since that I was wondering of where that I could post this one comment around, and yeah since that it's more about recent happenings with both me and a little bit about my LRG stuff lately, and that also, for 8:43 to 9:14 in this, that yes there's other companies like with EastAsiaSoft who had come out with other titles, like with both that Crisis Wing game that I had told you about before, and with that Blue Rider game that I had also found out about, and had gotten, of another overhead view game with you in a blue hovercraft vehicle in a shoot-em-up game, which I had thought, "Well, that's very interesting.", yep.) Well, that otherwise here's my definite list of my most "recent pickups" for the video game console, and that this time that there's little to do with LRG releases: 1. Trine 5 - A Clockwork Conspiracy 2. Huntdown 3. Dead Cells, the original version, and since that I had already gotten that Return To Castlevania Edition. 4. Ender Lilies: Quietus Of The Knights, which that I see does have great visuals and I hear it said that it also has beautiful music. 5. After Image: Deluxe Edition, which apparently that I'm far from the only person who's after that great game in through Amazon, around this time. 6. Anno Mutationem, which does both look and seem interesting enough so. 7. Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, which is apparently the prologue game, before that Hundred Heroes comes out during April 24th of next year. 8. Shadow Complex Remastered, which that yeah it was with both The Completionist and in his "Top 10 Metroidvanias" video that I had found out about this great and interesting game. Also, that I can definitely also go a bit more in-depth with those first two in that list of them all, and by the end of the second one, that you'll find out of why that so many of them are Metroidvania games: that first, I was trying so much at first to get that Trine Ultimate Collection DVD like case with them in it, but at the time that all I could get was the PC version from the stores and it barely had that much at all in its case, so that I had to get the PS4 version, with all of it in tow, and I was all set, until that I had sort of at last recently found out about its recent sequel game, with its interesting looking trailer as well; and that second, I was forgetting for a while about that it was both YourFriendJacob and in his "Upcoming Action Platformer Games" video and him letting me know about Erra Exordium, that after that I was instead thinking that it was about "upcoming Metroidvania games" and I was searching through a couple or a few of those videos, and it was through them that both I had seen one of the commenters mention about his/her few Metroidvanias list and I had found out about both Huntdown and its somewhat goofy trailer through there, and I had found out about these other great and interesting Metroidvania games released around this time through those videos, and I do hope to find out about more of them, in the future. Lastly, and real quick about it, that even in the stores I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one hoping that we all will eventually get to get ahold of a PS4 version of Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart; and I know that the others would have to sadly insist that it's otherwise a PS5 video game console exclusive game, but I know that I had recently heard online that it has/it's getting a PC version release of it as well, so that I guess that it's not a total impossibility of it coming out eventually for the PS4 after all, huh 8^). >Danny

[@GenerationZ313]

Digital Foundry did a video where they took a stock PS4 hard drive and tried to run Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart on it and it didn't really work well at all. It's not impossible but by this point I think that ship has sailed, thoughI would certainly be interested in selling a PS4 version myself.

[@TranceportationX]

Also when you were describing them being friendly to devs, that reminded me of what they did during PS1 and they were successful. Sony welcomed all the devs big or small and stole them all from the N64 like Square.

Cousin of mine gave me his launch system back in 2015 to play with him. Spent countless hours in parties and games. I may find the exclusives to be a step down from the PS3, but the PS4 is a solid system that I still use alongside my PC. Thank you, PS Quadruple.

[@jkemp6791]

You’re very wrong about the PS2 following the PS1 in terms of it “being easy to develop for.” The PS2 was a nightmare for developers… but it was also the most successful home console ever. That’s why Sony went with the weird cell tech for PS3.

DSi seems likes another mid gen refresh to me. It had exclusive games the regular version could not play (DSiware), and it had enhancements for DS games like Korg DS10 Plus and Alice In Wonderland

Remember watching your day one video when I was 14, I’m 24 now

Gameboy and Gameboy color have almost the same hardware. Even the graphical chip was the same, it's just a modified version of the old chip with support to code color into the sprites. It was what made possible to release games compatible with the 2 systems, because you were coding basically for the same hardware.

I was there on launch day standing in line it’s was -25 and I got one. It was my first time getting a system on launch day

[@solarwinds5114]

I can't believe I was starting middle school when the PS4 came out. Now I'm almost done my undergrad degree. That's pretty hard to accept.

I still remember wanting one for my life in 2014... I never got it, and it's still magnificent to me.

Honestly I thought it was a great console. It was part of the reason that I got the disc based version of the PS5 because I still had my old library of games I still liked it so I kept the games but gave away the console to a friend who didn't have one so he could experience it

Jesus 10 years? I remember the day I brought it; I was 13 and saved up all my allowance money. I waited about 5 months after launch due to all the issues during launch. Walked into a GameStop brought both a PS4 and I think watch dogs as my first game. Traded my PS3. Looking back on it I should've picked a better game to start but hey it is what it is. Unfortunately, I moved from PlayStation in 2020 and went to PC, never really used my PS4 that much after High School and a lot of the games I had interest in were PC only. Still, good console to go out on after being a Sony kid for 15 years. Still have my PS2 to this day lol

Still on my base PS4 from 2014. I still remember watching vids on the launch of the PS4/XB1 and Microsoft's whole DRM debacle and how Sony did the almighty of all burns with *that* infamous video. Time is going by fast. Too damn fast. But hey at least I'll be able to relive that new console feeling when I upgrade to the PS5 "slim" soon.
