PS4 - A UNIQUE CONSOLE

 PLAYSTATIONS 4 - A UNIQUE CONSOLE


The fourth edition of Sony's consoles, released in 2013, was a significant revolution compared to its predecessor, the PS3, which also caused a stir at the time.





This console came out with three versions to date, the FAT (November 15, 2013), the Slim (September 15, 2016) and the Pro (November 10, 2016), each with significant differences, particularly in the Pro model, which incorporated performance improvements, for example, in many games.




What did it innovate?

The PS4 brought with it a large catalog of games, including some current ones, despite being from the eighth generation, not to mention its x86-64 AMD Jaguar processor, which drove a wide range of configurations that developers worked very well with and polished to create fantastic titles, such as: The Last Of us Part II, Ratchet and Clank, Dead by Daylight, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and many more.




It wasn't just a leap in graphics, but also in experience, thanks to the wireless Dualshock 4 controller and its touchpad, (not to mention accessories) immersion increased significantly, taking much more force in titles that implemented these technologies along with the controller's gyroscope, of course.




Technical Specifications

PS4 FAT:

Processor: x86-64 AMD Jaguar

RAM: 8 GB GDDR5

Storage: 500 GB or 1 TB

PS4 Slim:

Opinion

Personally, I have one at home, the FAT model to be exact, and it's an unparalleled console. The game catalog, interface, and technologies are still impressive despite being years after its release. Everything is quite enjoyable. I keep playing Dead by Daylight, which is one of the main reasons I purchased PS Plus. Speaking of which, what's your opinion on PS Plus and online gaming? Maybe for another time.

What is Scrum? The Simple Way to Manage Projects

Image
  What is Scrum? Scrum is a way of working as a team to complete large projects by breaking them into small, manageable parts. Instead of trying to do everything at once, the team works in short cycles called sprints , which usually last a few weeks. At the end of each sprint, something functional is delivered, even if it’s just a part of the whole project. Why use Scrum? It’s flexible: If ideas or requirements change, you can adjust the work easily. It encourages teamwork: Everyone communicates often to know what others are doing and to help each other. It delivers results quickly: Every short period, you have something ready to show and improve. Continuous improvement: The team always looks for ways to do things better in the next sprint. Who is involved in Scrum? Product Owner: This person knows what the client wants and decides what’s most important to do first. Scrum Master: Like a guide, this person helps the team follow the Scrum process and solve...

Dead by Daylight - Review

Image
Dead by Daylight is an online multiplayer game released on June 14, 2016 , for Microsoft Windows . It was later released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017 , Nintendo Switch in 2019 , iOS and Android in 2020 , Stadia in 2020 , and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2020 as well. This game, which is set in a horror environment, is all about cooperative survival where 4 survivors face off against a killer. The survivors' goal is to repair five generators to restore power to the exit gates, open them, and escape. On the other hand, the killer's goal is the complete opposite — to interrupt those actions and, of course, to sacrifice the survivors. What do I think of this game? It’s a solid 10/10. While it’s not particularly scary — as it’s more of a competitive game — the atmosphere is outstanding, the variety of characters is great, and what really stands out are the famous “perks.” These provide specific advantages that range from seeing auras (outlines) to performing certa...

Sudoku: More than a Puzzle, a Mental Challenge

Image
Sudoku is a logical number placement puzzle that has become one of the most popular pastimes worldwide. It is a mathematical game that tests the player's reasoning ability, patience, and concentration. Despite being known by its Japanese name, its history spans different parts of the world and has evolved over decades into the mental challenge we know today. Sudoku is a mathematical game whose primary objective is to fill a 9×9 grid (81 cells in total) divided into 3×3 sub-grids (also called "boxes" or "regions") with the numbers 1 through 9. The peculiarity of this pastime lies in its rules: each number must appear only once in each row, column, and 3×3 region. The game begins with some cells already filled with numbers, known as "given numbers" or "clues," and the player must use logic and deductive reasoning to complete the remaining cells. A well-posed Sudoku has a unique solution and, according to studies, must have at least 17 initial c...
