about a year ago came out and finally the PS4 there are some teething problems have been eliminated, it will jump to the time "Next Gen".
So I bought for 399 EUR PS4 Bundle with GTA V and would like to briefly describe my impressions about the console. In the game I will not go into at this point here. I will not go again on the content of the package the console Likewise, this is in the article description.
The structure of the console went without problems by hand. Portrayed PS4, started power cord into the socket, HDMI plug in the TV and the PS4.
The interior of the system setting also went without problems from the hand, so I'll spare me detailed descriptions, since it is likely to have no problems.
The console: The console itself has a unique design. It is pleasant Slim and very quiet in operation. When it is in a game a lot going on, then the console is loud, but when I compare it with my PS3, the PS4 is again the clear winner and is still damn quiet. Note: I have an old PS3 that really can grumble loudly nice: D But looks se better than the PS3 Slim xD
If you have no base then you can lie down the console for the Betrief, is no problem at all. Even after prolonged playing time I could see only a very low heat here.
The operation is also in stand possible, however it turns here around very quickly. Therefore, the standing operation is recommended only with a stand. However, this must be purchased separately. The original base Sony PS4 currently costs at Amazon 20 EUR. Have also brought me this, has a sophisticated, does not stand out and the console is as ne. 1
Controller: Here one must be prepared for changes. The Touchpadtase and the "Share" and "Option" button are new and I had to get used to it a little at the beginning. I was there for about 2 minutes at the start of Dragon Age Inquisition really desperate when suddenly there was "Please press Options". Since my first thought was: What kind of ne Options button and where the hell the Start button go?
That being said, however, the controller is comfortable to hold and all buttons can be pressed blind na short familiarization period. I have often the touchpad button instead of the Options button at the beginning, as these are close together.
The battery of the controller is of course not loaded at the beginning, so it must be connected via the charger cable to the PS4, so this shop and you can set up the PS4 thereby. Important: The USB cable is relatively short, many will therefore have to buy a new one. Very important: It is not the same cable as the PS3. Anyone who already has a longer cable from the PS3 controller, this will unfortunately can not use! Another shortcoming is that the battery is damn fast empty. The battery should last about 6 hours, then it is empty, and it needs to be recharged. One of the reasons for the rapid evacuation is likely to be the light bar on the controller .... Yes, it's a nice thing that it lights up there and the color can be adjusted and the game (So light up the light in inFamous in negative karma for example red ), but this is also likely to eat moderately battery. While playing you also respects not really it. Let's hope that Sony will bring a power off at the next update.
Those who want to create a bigger selection of games and still holds the right change, which was warmly recommended in addition to the console also purchase of buying a larger hard drive. The 500 GB are used up pretty fast. Of the 500 GB I currently have about 140 GB with applications ie Games, Amazon Prime Instant Video etc. hogging (alone Inquisition Dragon Age and GTA V consume already approximately 50 GB!). More 400MB are with other stuff in use. However, I've only got about 260 GB free. The operating software takes about 100 GB so ever tidy up space. Therefore, whether to buy any of a couple of games and also keep would recommend a larger hard drive. A 2TB hard disk should have enough space for the next few years, but also costs something again;)
For the operating software takes away a lot of space, it brings at least decent performance. So I can be installed a game without any problems, while another game is running, this running game interrupt (without closing it) and watch me about Amazon Prime Instant Video a film and later continue playing the game immediately and without delay.
The menu is kept simple and clear at all times. More specifically, it consists of two lines. In the top line you will find the access to the Playstation Store, his PSN account, the system settings and everything that has to do with the management of the system.
On the bottom line, the applications, so games, TV and video can be found, etc. Service.
So you will always have the right to a well-assorted menu.
All actions also permanently recorded and can these videos and images at any time with the "Share" button on the controller to visualize with other parts and the running game via USTREAM twich or for others. Can you like / use, but you do not. I think it is in any case quite nice, even though I do not really use.
So much for my brief assessment of the PS4.
The purchase has, in my opinion so really worth it, especially since I finally can play and at the same time may be able to play my music through the connected USB Flash Drive: D Important: Music can currently only be played, but not stored on the PS4. But I do not think Sony is going to change anything here, because Sony wants to make as much money as possible with "Music Unlimited" (a music program on the PS4) with security)
4 stars for the console incl. Game. 5 stars are not possible to be disappointed the short term of the controller battery and the small amount of disk space but too much.
