1.
Pros
Games look excellent and run smoothly. The console is the most powerful on the market and costs less than the Xbox which is inferior when it comes to performance. While this and the Xbox pretty much have the same games, it does it way better on this.
Keep in mind you need a PS Plus membership to play online. It costs 50 bucks fr one year and three months. You can get smaller packages for less, but the 50 bucks one is the way to go. This is not a con, as Xbox does the same thing. PS Plus members get deals all the time, like free games, price chops and such. Every week the system adds new stuff to the PlayStation Store, and there are two free games every month. Usually what you call “PSN games”, which are small indie games, but you regularly get big normal games free. Not new ones obviously, but you get good stuff.
I just thought this should be mentioned, in case you were not aware of the PS Plus thing.
Another thing to know, consoles these days all seem to take a cue from FaceBook and want to be a social media thing. While the PS4 does this, it does it minimally, remembering that it wants you to play video games. That should probably not be something one wants to mention, but alas, FB has a huge influence on everything.
And this may be personal opinion, but the controller is the best ever when it comes to video games.
2.Cons
Not enough space. You do get to upload stuff in the cloud, which is a digital data storage thing. But that is also limited in space. However, what games you delete can be re-dowloaded at any time. It’s not THAT bad, but a bit annoying. There is indeed a version of the PS4 coming out soon with more space.
Downloading is…fucking slow. This machine is the most powerful one there is in consoles, but the PlayStation Network itself can be a joke. Slow downloads, servers are down often, errors, streaming movies is bullshit…there’s a petition going on online where people are pleading Sony to fix up their network and improve it. Well, I love Sony, but they’re a big corporation. Oh they’ll fix the stability issues, they’re not completely heartless, but not because we’re asking them to. I hear Microsoft is no better though, and Xboxers are experiencing similar issues.
For the games you mentioned, I don’t know, besides Uncharted, which I’ve played the PS3 version of. (didn’t even know we had an Uncharted on PS4, although one is announced, or a port of the first 3 PS3 games anyway)
I’m more into fantasy games like Dragon Age or Witcher 3, which are excellent in just about every aspect btw. And well supported by the developers. Add ons and DLC’s regularly, some of which is free, bugs fixed, etc.
And yes, the console has updates all the time, as do the games, but this is normal procedure these days with video games. I don’t find that this ruins anything, except for how slow the dl are.
