Was watching some old videos and on a stream Linus pretty much gushed over a game called CrossCode he had been playing. I saw that it was on sale for $11.99 (normally $19.99) on the PS Store so I picked it up yesterday. I have to say I completely agree with Linus and can't recommend it highly enough! It's an homage to the great SNES-era JRPGs like FF7/8, Chrono Trigger, etc. and does a great job of invoking all the nostalgia I feel for those games. If you give it a shot I can pretty much guarantee you won't be disappointed. Here's where Linus talked about the game:

Hi!!! I own a Ps4 Pro (1TB), which I bought in November 2019. I now have no free-space to add new games. I purchase approximately 6-7 games each year. Should I buy a 2 TB hard-drive or a 4TB one (The difference in the price is about 20-30$)? ***I don’t want to buy a new hard drive for the next 3-4 years*** ***Seagate hard drive***

Hi, everyone. My brother has been facing an issue which he is unable to fix. Due to his carelessness during washing a device with mobile servicing thinner liquids, he dropped some of the thinner liquid over his PS4 shell. When he realised he immediately tried to soak those drops of liquid but that even made this worse. I observed a part of the surface of PS4 shell became grey where the liquid fell off. And he is unable to clean as it seems either fixed to the surface or non-removable. Some photos were attached herewith for your convenience to understand. Is there any way to remove and clean this grey spot and back to the previous normal colour of the surface? Thanks in advance.

In this article titled "Give Your PS4 a Speed Boost While You Wait For a PS5": http://superjumpmagazine.com/give-your-ps4-a-speed-boost-while-you-wait-for-a-ps5-2432bec8b7e8 It says putting a cheap $35 250gb SSD inside the PS4 just for the OS, and reusing the stock drive externally for games will prevent the menu lag and stuttering on the PS4. Does anyone have experience in doing this?

I have tried using 2 accounts using my main for chat and 2nd for getting audio from 2nd controller. I am using my turtle beach recon 70 headphones I got from walmart if that helps. -
Long story short i wanted to watch an old movie I had on a DVD and plugged the thing in my PS4. I got carried away and ended up not watching the thing but leaving the disk inside the PS4 and when i went to pull it out I noticed a spot on it of what seemed like to be mold. What i am more worried about is did I infect the disk drive in the PS4 and now there are tons of spores in the console? Dose anyone have a clue about it?

Main question here is that , is HDD Write speed important for gaming ? I have just now purchased an seagate expansion 4TB external hard disk (ST4000DM004 drive) and on running the HDD trough crystal bench I was able to see bizarre results. The drive was having around 180MBPS read speed but the sequential Writes were merely just 37 MBPS !!!! I know that this drive has SMR (Shingled magnetic Recording) but is it this worse . I am only going to use this drive as an extended storage in my PS4, so will it be fine for my usage .

My PS4 fan broke, and I just bought the replacement for it. I noticed something different. The original one use 12V DC and 1,4A, while the replacement use 12V DV and 1,3A. Is it safe if I replace it with the one I just bought. I'm concerned it could cause harm such as short circuit or other. The original fan is on the left.

Hey folks, currently have the issue that GoW turns the subtitles back on if I close it and start it up again. I go into the settings and disable subtitles but after a restart / reboot they turn back on. Did I miss a setting or is this just a known bug? (I did ask reddit but the only response I get are downvotes, yikes.)

Title. I currently have 2.1 ch. Creative speakers with subwoofer which I got about 9 years ago. I'm looking for an upgrade that will perform well in music and games. But my one specific need is that it should have dual input so that I can use the same speaker for my PC and PS4 (through monitor's 3.5mm jack). Another question, is a speaker upgrade worth it at all? I don't know how much audio technology has improved over the years. Or should I buy inexpensive speakers just for the ps4? I was planning to hit two birds with one stone by just getting a single speaker that would provide both an upgrade and dual input, but I need more advice. Thanks.

I have had multiple Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles: both original, slim, and pro/x models. As these consoles go EOL and show up in more numbers used or broken on sites like eBay, there are some things that can be done to keep them running and usable, and ways they can still get use. The PS4 has had one of the best library's for exclusives, and even in the next year or so, lots of games including horizons: far west will be coming to the current gen console. These consoles still make good devices for younger siblings, cousins, grandchildren to use to play games, especially with the large amount of used games and large back catalog. A lot of games can be had for cheap. Also, since all the PS4 consoles have a disc drive, if you live in rural areas with poor or very data capped internet, then the discs could be very useful to you. If you go the PS4 route, try for the pro if you plan to use it for gaming. I also recommend replacing the thermal paste in the system. Every time I buy one of these last gen consoles, I always replace the thermal paste first thing, then usually replace the HDD, since I mostly buy ones with bricked drives. I also usually put in a 1-2tb SSD. Even a QVO or other lower end SSD will do wonders, mainly in the upgraded consoles, but even in the base versions there can be big load time improvements and texture stream in improvements. IO performance from the HDD in these systems can actually hurt performance in such a way that this upgrade helps a lot: I have experienced this with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Textures load in way faster, the frame rate is far more stable, as you move around maps there is no more hitching as the drive seeks the next part of the map. If you really want to game, PS4 and PS4 Pro are phenomenal choices still, especially with the back catalog of exclusives, and even once the new consoles come down in price, the old games will be able to move forward with better performance, hopefully, to the new console. The Xbox is a different matter. I would not buy the OG VCR Xbox One, leave that one be. If you want to play games, always go for the One X. Again, thermal paste change and a drive switch are very helpful, and the One X actually can have better performance due to the higher CPU clocks and more ram than the PS4 Pro in cross platform games when moved to an SSD. The One S is a different thing all together. While I would not want to game on them, both the One S and One X are far better media machines than the PS4. They both support 4k blu-rays, support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and support Dolby vision and hdr10. Having this wide range of capability makes them actually good streaming and media playback boxes. I got my parents a One S, and they love it. I has all the streaming apps, will play their old DVD's, and I even got a VCR/DVD combo that a HDMI translator so they can play tapes using the HDMI passthrough on the console. The One X is a gaming beast, especially with an SSD to have less IO bottle necks in games, but both consoles are some of the best media machines there are, especially if you have a nice home theater setup. The Xbox Series S/X maintains this support, with the Series X being the only one to play 4k Blu-ray, and is one area that the current and next gen consoles from Microsoft are leaps and bounds ahead of Sony. Xbox game pass is also a thing to think about, if you have good internet, as having over 300 games ready to go, just download them to the machine is a very nice thing to have available. I know a lot of people do not think about replacing the thermal paste, but most people on here use pc's, and so may be more inclined to change thermal paste more regularly. I use kryonaut in all my builds, and once yearly when I do loop maintenance on my main pc, I also repaste and clean out the dust on all my consoles. Even if you use something like MX4 though, there is performance gains to be had, and repasting would not need to be yearly. The consoles though do have room for improvement in the thermal paste department, especially if they are used when you buy them. I have found I need to use a little more than I would on a pc, due to the way both consoles mount their cooling solutions, and after I have changed the paste, the fans do not spin up near as high, and there for not as loud, and there is a noticeable and measurable increase in the temperature of the air exiting the systems. Measure on the same system before and after, I went from 49 C exit temp on the One X to 58 C exit temp, and the ambient temp was ~20 C. The PS4 Pro was more dramatic, with an increase from 51 C to 65 C exit temp with ambient temp again ~20 C. These are just my consoles I have used, and as another note, before the thermal past change on the One X, it would crash after ~2 hours of gaming, and would not boot till it cooled and rested for ~1 hour. After the thermal paste change, it has been able to play for over 13 hours straight with no problems or slow downs. As for the SSD, internal is nice to have, especially for boot up, switching between apps, texture streaming, and slightly reduced power consumption and noise, as there are no moving parts. Making your own external SSD will get most of the benefits, the startup and switching apps will be slightly slower, but it would be easier to move the games to the new consoles when or if you get one. Even still, to get a little more performance from the system, an internal SSD can help a lot. Digital foundry has done many looks into the load time, but one thing to also think about is texture streaming and in level loading. Watching their Xbox One X coverage of Jedi Fallen Order, their gameplay was noticeably at a lower average framerate and more laggy in levels when loads, lots of enemies, or big texture streams came in, with large dips in framerates when fighting enemies or loading more of the level. I did not experience any of the on my One X with an internal SSD, there were no loading hangs, slowdowns due to enemy and terrain stream in, and way less loading time. This was in 4k, and it was pretty locked at 30fps, but even in performance mode, it stuck closer to 502sh according to my monitors built in frame counter. These are just my thoughts, and what I have done and experienced over the last generation. I do not think that these will fix issues in games like Cyberpunk, it could make them a little less bad, but honestly I do not think it will be that helpful, as that game has horrible optimization for these consoles. I think these areas are being overlooked, and as more of the newer consoles come out, picking up the older consoles for cheap for extra gaming systems for family members, old school system link on the Xbox's for lan parties after covid, media playing machines for guest rooms or home theater setups, and maybe even just to have and tinker with could be something to look into. I have bought lots of One X's and PS4 Pro's that have had HDD or HDMI failures. HDD failures are easier to fix, as long as the drive is not dead, it can be reformatted to be reflashed as it would in the factory, or if replaced with an SSD, then can be put in a pc or plex server or the like as extra storage. Just something to think about as the old consoles flood the second hand market.

Hi. Im thinking of buying a Playstation 4, but im not too sure what to get. So I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the difference betweena PS4 (orginal) and a PS4 slim since they are the easiest to find and buy second hand. And how would they perform with games like Farcry 5, Cod, and those types of games?

This is the TV that we already own: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/sony-32-inch-lcd-hd-ready-tv-klv-32r302e-10265 I dont have a proper PC to try out some games and find it out myself atm. so I was wondering if you could comment anything about its performance by looking at the spec sheet. I will be buying a GPU possibly a gtx 960 or a gtx 1050 by December and pair with this TV if it offers playable experience in single player games and in Rainbow 6 siege online. OR if I find a gud deal on a PS4, i might get one of those and pair with this TV. Would like to know if its experience with a PS4 will also be bad. Thanks

Good evening! So many of my friends left the PS4 to start playing warzone on the pc and I’m looking for a simple work around if possible. So I’m currently able to use the headset to listen to PS4 via the optic cable and plug the headset into the PC via usb for audio but it’s leaving cables laying around making the place a mess. I’m having to swap back to the PS4 when other friends pop on for party chat. Is there some sort of splitter that would allow me to have the base station plugged into other at the same time without the need to remove cables? like some sort of switch? Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks and take care.

So I have always wanted a PS4 to play the PS exclusives but never could afford one as they are quite expensive in our country. The used market isnt that cheap either. However when the PS5 hits the stores im expecting many people would sell their PS4s to upgrade to the PS5 and as a result im hoping the prices will go down a bit lower. My biggest concern however is their reliability. The last console I had was an Xbox 360, had 2 of them and both got RROD. I really dont want to go through another one of those situations as consoles are pretty much un-repairable to my experience because everything is on the mobo. Is it 'safe' If i were to get a used one of those early 500gb PS4 models or even the ones that came later?
