PS4 Is Still the Best Place to Play According to New Trailer

Until the holidays, anyway

by Sammy Barker Thu 23rd Jul 2020

PlayStation 5 may be right around the corner, but Sony’s still busy flogging the PlayStation 4 ahead of the holidays. The platform holder has released a brand new trailer showcasing some of the biggest titles on the format right now, and it goes big on third-party partnerships, with the likes of Fortnite, Marvel’s Avengers, and NBA 2K21 taking centre stage.

There’s just enough time for the manufacturer to shine a spotlight on Ghost of Tsushima in the clip’s 30-second running time. It’ll be interesting to see how the Japanese giant continues to promote the PS4 once its next-gen system arrives later this year; we still reckon there’s enormous potential in making the existing system a budget alternative to the PS5.

Kinda counter productive though of sony considering fortnite states its pc gameplay. I honestly thought watching the trailer was just going to demonstrate sony games.

@pimpjuice why do they need to counter? Sony have already shown off their games and I'd imagine they'll have more anyway

Ps5: Hold this place until I arrive okay

@pimpjuice Is it the other way around? Ps5 event has spider-man miles morale, the sequels to 10M+ selling sony 1st party games, has horizon forward west, the sequels to 10M+ selling sony 1st party games, has ratchet & clank, the sequels to insomniacs best selling games before spider-man, a full sequel gran turismo games, and others new ip.

... Unless you're on the go. Or want the most powerful console. Don't have anything against PlayStation but this slogan isn't that true.

@acNewUpdates says a switch player with an account seemingly primarily setup to promote an animal crossing news twitter account 😂

Bet there’s no bias there.

So many games!

They should just do a sizzle real of a second or two from all the exclusives. It really is quite staggering the library they've built up.

It will be my place to play until I clear my backlog, which will probably be mid-2021. By that time the PS5 fever will have died down a bit so I can easily find and buy one (provided it's quieter and runs cooler than PS4 PRO).
