They are cool and i dont like that they removed them :(

Hello, so a brief explanation PS4 uses Broadcact/multicast for game hosting and game discovery which are layer 2 network features

i managed to use OpenWRT to create Layer 2 Bridge between few sites so that i can play with my friends and my brothers LAN party games

So far i know that most Call of Duty Games support LAN party gaming. We mostly play Black Ops 3

But now we need recommendation for games that support LAN multiplayers nothing online ( we preffer private game sessions )

Every recommendation is appreciated. We are willing to buy any game that supports this

I found this link curculating but not very helpful https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/wiki/Supported_Games#Sony_Playstation_4

Any Racing games other that F1, like NFS, Asphalt or other racing games are welcome Any other shooter games are welcome Games with story like A way out,

The Most Important is that it being a game that Supports LAN ( multiple consoles connected to same router/network )

Thank you

I just bought a used PS4 Slim (500GB) from a game Store, I was told that God of War Ragnarok is best for the PS4 Pro and PS5. He mentioned that it would lag and run at a very slow frame rate at 1080p.

Should I be concerned about this? And is there anything I can do in the settings to make sure it runs smoothly?

The bottom left of the image is what im looking for, I'd prefer double the sides but in the ps4 shape. Either way I want them in the ps4 shape no matter the amount of sides. Its for rocket league if anyone cares

I’ve been going at this for days. Brutality 101 trophy has anyone got this and wants to game share to get this trophy for me lol. I had surgery on my hand earlier this year and the recovery based on what docs are saying that my hand will remain this way. I can play but doing these combos is really challenging. Or if anyone knows a good strategy of doing it let me know. Thank you. Also any help is much appreciated.

Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying ACC because there’s a big discount on the PlayStation Store, but I’m worried about FPS drops and stuttering. I’m on a PS4 Slim. For anyone who has played it on the Slim, how does it actually run? Is it reasonably stable around 30 FPS, or does it drop a lot, especially with bigger grids, rain, or at night?

The visuals are amazing but the games are just boring to play.

Any recommendations that doesn't have the same redundant walk around and look at shit formula?

I just got Driveclub VR on PS4 lately and i am having a trouble in starting fast,so I'm always the last in rank. No matter how i tried to start the race i still get stuck in the back every time. Can anyone help me about that?

Such a missed opportunity.

Hi folks,

So I ended up buying a new controller recently and it lacks a touchpad.

Since I can't buy another one for sometime. Please advise ps4 games which can be played without a touchpad.

Thanks.

Ps: I like action adventure. I have already played uncharted 1-4, ac odyssey, rdr, rdr2, tlou remastered, spiderman and spiderman miles morales.

>Gran Turismo players! Update 1.71 features 4 new cars, three new World Circuits, and Whistler added as featured Curation in Scapes.

Same as title.(Standard Fat Console)

I keep seeing on social media the Blackout of all things Playstation and wonder if its a vocal minority or the sentiment of the community as a whole. I also wonder what percentage of people on board with it will actually have the discipline to follow through on ignoring the system for an entire week.

As a collector of games both past and present I absolutely hate the idea of buying a code that gets deleted the second I beat the game or need to free up space on my system. I understand that both Sony and the developers see this as an opportunity to cut costs and that they need to do what they have to do to keep the business thriving but it just seems like a greed grab rather than something that brings value to everything involved.

It doesn't help that games like GTA 6 are being released digital only and that when the community speaks out against the discontinuation of physical discs, the ports for Black Ops 1 & 2 release. I have friends I'd love to play those games with but when I'm forced to buy it from one place (The Playstation Store) in one format or else I'm left out I'm not going to encourage that behavior from Sony. It goes everything against the "Play has no limits" slogan they used to win the last generation of console wars. I have nothing against buying a game digitally but making it the only option to play games is a slippery slope in my opinion. Feels like Sony and the developers are squeezing us and that simply isn't right.

In short, what does everyone think? Am I in the minority here just yelling into a bullhorn or does this same sentiment echo throughout the community?

Does anyone know? I don't have a drive btw.

I don’t regret it. If anything, I regret selling my ps4 pro back then. When I had my higher up, I get bored of it very easily. When I play ps4, I spent almost a day playing on it when I can. Since trucking, I only play on my off days. I don’t see myself ever going back to that “console”. Sticking with this console. Not getting ps6 either. Anybody else here?

My PS4 recently started having problems with the hard drive. Games would fail to install, so I eventually pulled the original Seagate HDD out and checked it with CrystalDiskInfo.

For context, I bought this PS4 in Colombia. The console was never dropped, never abused, and I never had any major power outage issues with it. I didn’t even use it that heavily, and since around 2024 it had basically been sitting there stored away.

The original Seagate HDD only has around 2,000 power-on hours.

CrystalDiskInfo showed:

• Health status: CAUTION
• Reallocated sectors: 1,272
• Pending sectors: 0
• Uncorrectable sectors: 0

So that pretty much explained why the PS4 was struggling to install games.

Then I remembered I still had the HDD from my old Toshiba laptop.

That drive is from around 2013. It spent years inside a laptop I carried around everywhere, was turned on and off thousands of times, and that laptop even got wet once 😂.

I connected it just to see what condition it was in.

And somehow:

• 8,731 power-on hours
• 5,545 power cycles
• 0 reallocated sectors
• 0 pending sectors
• 0 uncorrectable sectors
• SMART status: GOOD

Bro WHAT 💀

The 2013 laptop HDD has more than four times the hours, lived a much harder life, and somehow looks healthier than the original PS4 drive that barely got used and then spent the last couple of years sitting in storage.

I know HDDs can just fail and I’m not saying this proves Seagate drives are bad xDDD or that Sony did anything wrong (EHMMM). I just thought the comparison was ridiculous enough to document.

The funniest part is that I’m probably going to put the ancient Toshiba HDD into the PS4, while the newer original Seagate gets retired.

HDDs make no sense sometimes.

I just completed Cyberpunk 2077 (which was surprising playable on my PS4 fat with upgraded SSD - that my brother gave me recently) and trying to figure out my next game. I’d like a shorter palette cleanser game after a 90+ hour play through of Cyberpunk.

Since getting the free PS4, I’ve completed the following:

Nathan Drake Collection (All 3)
God of War III Remastered
Cyberpunk 2077

I never had a PlayStation and only got back into gaming within the last year (was out of gaming after OG Xbox). This means I have a HUGE catalog to go through - hence decision paralysis, lol.

Anyway, Uncharted 4 and TLOU are in my queue, but torn between them.

Uncharted 1-3 were great, but wondering if it’ll be stale to jump into 4 when 1-3 are still fresh.

But after the deep Cyberpunk run, wondering if TLOU will be too dark to jump right into.

Any thoughts?

Update:
Thank you everyone for your feedback. Ended up going with TLOU today. Will hit up Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy right after, then TLOU 2. Probably Ghost of Tsushima once those 4 are completed.

Is the French language (text) available on the North American physical version of Gravity Rush Remastered for PS4? If the console is set to French, will the game be in French?
Thanks

Looking for a game similar to Astroneer. Similar crafting and automation if possible. Survival aspect is fine as long as it’s not too hard and the main focus.

Hi folks,

I am hoping to create a hidden gems compendium for my own benefit as much as the wider community. The PS4 is at the end of its lifecycle and I know that I have missed out on some real bangers.

By definition, i'm trying the create a list of games I likely haven't heard of before, so my only real criteria is; if IGN reviewed it, don't add it to the list.

PS2 and PS3 ports, remakes and remasters are all fine. A good game is a good game regardless of when it came out.

Some suggestions I have are:

• Aerterna Noctis
• Touhou Luna Nights
• Echo
• Sakuna of Rice and Wine
• Shiness: the Lightning Kingdom
• The Alliance Alice HD Remastered
• Drova Forsaken Kin
• Oceanhorn
• Black Skylands
• Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi
• CrossCode
• Dusk
• Lonely Mountains Downhill
• Octahedron
• Tails of Iron
• Valfaris
• Shu
• Earthlock: Festival of Magic
• Blaster Master Zero

If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to have them.

I am a big fan of the original RE4 and RE franchise. I had planned on holding out till I could afford a PS5 before getting the remake, but that is looking less likely as time goes on.

I have watched comparison videos of the PS4 and PS5 version side by side, and the only impression I get is there is better lighting and some smaller dymanic effects (grass swaying).

I can live with these downgrades, but is there anything further in the game or as a whole that would make it feel like I had bought an inferior version?

Imagine, I didn't know the PS5 version existed, would I be disappointed with PS4 version of the remake?
