Release

Critical reception

Pre-release

Pre-release reception to the console from developers and journalists was positive. Mark Rein of Epic Games praised the "enhanced" "It's abundantly clear that PS4 is being driven as a [140] architecture of Sony's system, describing it as "a phenomenal piece of hardware". John Carmack, programmer and co-founder of collaboration between East and West, as opposed to [141] id Software, also commended the design by saying "Sony made wise engineering choices", while Randy Pitchford of Gearbox a dictation from one side to the other. Developers are Software expressed satisfaction with the amount of high-speed memory in the console.[142] also called the graphics fully involved, activated, discussed and doing really technology in the PS4 "impressive" and an improvement from the difficulties developers experienced on the PlayStation 3.[57] cool collaborative things." — Mark Rein, Epic Games[140] Numerous industry professionals have acknowledged the PlayStation 4's performance advantage over the Xbox One. Speaking to Edge magazine, multiple game developers have described the difference as "significant" and "obvious".[11] ExtremeTech says the PS4's graphics processing unit offers a "serious advantage" over the competition, but due to the nature of cross-platform development, games that share the same assets will appear "very similar". In other scenarios, designers may tap some of PS4's additional power in a straightforward manner, to boost frame rate or output at a higher resolution, whereas games from Sony's own first-party studios that take full advantage of the hardware "will probably look significantly better than anything on the Xbox One".[143]

In response to concerns surrounding the possibility of DRM measures to hinder the resale of used games (and in particular, the initial DRM policies of Xbox One, which did contain such restrictions), explicitly stated during Sony's E3 press conference that would be "no restrictions" on the resale and trading of PS4 games on physical media, while software product development head Scott Rohde specified that Sony was planning to disallow online passes as well, going on to say that the policies were designed to be "consumer- friendly, extremely retailer-friendly, and extremely publisher-friendly".[144][145] After Sony's E3 2013 press conference, IGN responded positively to Sony's attitude towards indie developers and trading games, stating they thought "most gamers would agree" that "if you care about games like [Sony] do, you'll buy a PlayStation 4".[146] PlayStation 4's removable and upgradable hard drive also drew praise from IGN,[147] with Scott Lowe commenting that the decision gave the console "another advantage" over the Xbox One, whose hard drive cannot be accessed.[148]

GameSpot called the PlayStation 4 "the gamer's choice for next-generation", citing its price, lack of restrictive digital rights management, and most importantly, Sony's efforts to "acknowledge its consumers" and "respect its audience" as major factors.[149]

Post-release

The PlayStation 4 has received very positive reviews by critics. Scott Lowe of IGN gave it an 8.2 rating out of 10 praising the console's DualShock 4 design and social integration features. He criticized the console's lack of software features and for underutilizing the DualShock 4's touch pad.[150] The Gadget Show gave a similar review complimenting the DualShock 4's new triggers and control sticks, in addition to the new Remote Play feature, yet criticized the system's lack of media support at launch.[151] IGN compared the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 over various categories, allowing their readers to vote for their preferred system. The PS4 won every category offered, and IGN awarded the PS4 with their People's Choice Award.[152]

Shortly following the launch, it became apparent that some games released on multiple platforms were available in higher resolutions on the PS4 as opposed to other video game consoles. Kirk Hamilton of reported on the differences in early games such as : Ghosts and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag which ran at 1080p on the PS4, but in 720p and 900p, respectively, on the Xbox One.[153]

Hardware revisions Main article: PlayStation 4 models

The PlayStation 4 has been produced in various models: the original, the Slim, and the Pro. Successive models have added or removed various features, and each model has variations of Limited Edition consoles.

PlayStation 4 Slim

On September 7, 2016, Sony announced a hardware revision of PlayStation 4, model number CUH-2000, known colloquially as the PlayStation 4 Slim. It is a revision of the original PS4 hardware with a smaller form factor; it has a rounded body with a matte finish on the top of the console rather than a two-tone finish, and is 40% smaller in size than the original model. The two USB ports on the front have been updated to the newer USB 3.1 standard and have a larger gap between them, and the optical audio port was removed.[201] This model also features support for USB 3.1, Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi.[202]

It was released on September 15, 2016, with a 500 GB model at the same price as the original version of the PlayStation 4.[44] On April 18, 2017, Sony announced that it had replaced this base model with a 1 TB version at the same MSRP.[203]

PlayStation 4 Pro The slim PlayStation 4 model

PlayStation 4 Pro (codenamed Neo, model number CUH-7000)[41] was announced on September 7, 2016, and launched worldwide on November 10, 2016.[204][205] It is an upgraded version of the PlayStation 4 with improved hardware to enable 4K rendering and improved PlayStation VR performance, including an upgraded GPU with 4.2 teraflops of processing power and hardware support for checkerboard rendering,[206] and a higher CPU clock. As with PS4 "Slim", this model also features support for USB 3.1, Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi.[202] The PS4 Pro also includes 1 GB of DDR3 memory that is used to swap out non-gaming applications that run in the background, allowing games to utilize an additional 512 MB of the console's GDDR5 memory.[207] Although capable of streaming 4K video, the PS4 Pro does not support Ultra HD Blu- ray.[208][209][210] The PlayStation 4 Pro Games marketed by Sony as PS4 Pro Enhanced have specific optimizations when played on this model, such as 4K resolution graphics and/or higher performance.[211] For games not specifically optimized, an option known as "Boost Mode" was added on system software 4.5, which can be enabled to force higher CPU and GPU clock rates on existing games to possibly improve performance.[212]

Rendering games at 4K resolution is achieved through various rendering techniques and hardware features; PlayStation technical chief Mark Cerny explained that Sony could not "brute force" 4K without compromising form factor and cost, so the console was designed to support "streamlined rendering techniques" using custom hardware, "best-in-breed temporal and spatial anti-aliasing algorithms", and "many new features from the AMD Polaris architecture as well as several even beyond it". The most prominent technique used is checkerboard rendering, wherein the console only renders portions of a scene using a checkerboard pattern, and then uses algorithms to fill in the non-rendered segments. The checkerboarded screen can then be smoothed using an anti-aliasing filter. Hermen Hulst of explained that PS4 Pro could render something "perceptively so close [to 4K] that you wouldn't be able to see the difference".[213][214][215]

PS4 Pro supports Remote Play, Share Play, and streaming at up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, as well as capturing screenshots at Polaris architecture 2160p, and 1080p video at 30 frames per second.[216]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4[10/14/2019 10:54:09 AM] PlayStation 4 - Wikipedia In late-2017, Sony issuedCase a new 3:19-cv-07027-WHA PS4 Pro revision (model number CUH-7100) Document that featured 28-3 updated Filed internal 10/14/19 components. The Page actual hardware 11 of specifications 19 and performance remained the same as the original model, although it was found that the revised console has a slightly quieter fan profile than the original (and as a result, operating at a slightly higher temperature under load than the CUH-7000). In October 2018, Sony quietly issued another revision (model number CUH-7200), initially as part of Red Dead Redemption 2 hardware bundles. The revision has a different power supply which uses the same type of cord as the "Slim" model, and was shown to have further improvements to acoustics.[217][218][219]
