The Forgotten PS4 Console
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2024
- Before the release of the PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim, Sony had been working to revise the original PS4 console and with a release just a year and a half later we had a revision that gave us a look at how Sony was working to build their new 4K console.

PS4 has aged very well. The games still feel very modern, still look great, and the console is still getting current games.
granblue fantasy relink, street fighter 6, elden ring, atelier ryza 3, resident evil 4 remake, armored core 6, it is crazy ps4 still had games up to 2023-2024, probably next year too, and this console generation really aged well.
@@Taxiway_Alpha mf played like 2-6 games on an entire generation.
30 fps is painful
Ps4 was the last true new next gen console! Games got a huge changes in graphics better performance better menu better controller better games etc ! Ps5 has none of that beside the 120 fps games are nowhere the menu kinda sucks controller is fine but yeah there nothing really good for that shit
@@MarcB.8052 Try original thought
I only had this one
Blasted off like a jet engine on monster hunter world
Monster hunter world was the first game that made me buy a pro system after already having the regular one.
I have a Pro and Borderlands 3 makes it sound like that, then it crashes.
I remembered trying to play Spyro Reignited and Kingdom Hearts III on this thing, almost started gaining altitude from the fan speeds
Whenever Developer say they support it for the ps4 I always think of this console. It couldn’t even handle monster hunter world till it went nuclear. How could it even remotely run god of war ragnarok. I can’t even think of it
Funnily enough this color was called Jet Black by Sony
Still have this model and play it regularly.
Still my daily driver.. never upgraded to the 5, pointless imo
Steam, PS4 and my JB Vita keep me sweet
@@unbearifiedbear1885cap 5 is not pointless when these PC versions are always broken also PS4 is aging the framerate aint it lol so it still handy to have a newer console these days
Same here! I haven't gotten the full experience of playing my PS4 Slim yet! There are games still being released on the system.
@@unbearifiedbear1885😂😂😂
@@unbearifiedbear1885 i only just got a ps5 myself after all these years of still playing on my trusty ps4, simply because there are finally some games coming out making it half worth it. Dragonball Sparking Zero, Stellar Blade, and even Treyarch's first Call of Duty in 4 years are all dropping Q4 this year without ps4 ports, so it was time to get a ps5, and luckily a few weeks ago all of the Spiderman 2 ps5 slims went on sale so i copped it.
You started talking about no glossy front and rng power and eject buttons and it got me curious. Turns out this was the PS4 I had. No clue it was a technical upgrade.
Same, I bought mine used and I thought it is just a regular Ps4 fat.
I still have my ps4, I got the white destiny bundle, one of the coolest designs for a console
Never played destiny but looked up the console, looks fuckin cold bruh 🥶💯
@@ChibiChubbyRobo I still have the game that came with the console but never touched it lol
I got the same one. It looked cool, then the white plastic turned yellow. Ended up replacing the shell with one I got from the internet
Yeah i have a the destiny taken king edition @ChibiChubbyRobo
same :D
Thanks for taking it apart in the video Spawn Wave learning more about this PS4 model hopefully I never need to do repairs to it though.
The 1215A PS4 was my first new console I bought, Star Wars Battlefront bundle. Never an issue. No hdmi, disc drive, or usb problems ever. I’ve been thinking of buying another one for VR and 3D Blu-ray movies.
Yep, it's great for that. I use mine for PS4VR and 3D blu-ray.
The exact one I had as well, and used right up until november of last year, never skipped a beat.
My PS4 was the first and only console I ever bought on release day. Served me faithfully for almost 10 years. Gave it to my friend when I finally got my hands on a PS5. PS4 is easily my favorite console of all time. PS5 is just PS4 2.
All of yall complaining about the fan and the noise should have opened it up, cleaned the dust out, and changed the thermal paste. That didn't make it silent but it made it soooo much quieter.
Yeah man i copped the PS4 version he was talking about in the video back in 2015, and played it constantly until 2019 when i sold it for 100 bucks to my cousin, and then bought the ps4 slim new for 200, which seemed like an odd move, but i loved that console, and platyed it for 5 years until just 2 weeks ago when i bought the ps5 slim since the Spiderman 2 version went on sale, since the games coming out this year in Q4 that im hyped for like Stellar Blade, Dragonball Sparking Zero, and Treyarch's first call of duty in over 4 years are all not getting ps4 ports.
You know nothing about playstation ps3 was way better than ps4
@bozzbozz2800 I didn't say it was better or worse than any other console. I didnt say it was the best console. I said it was my favorite.
@@DscvryDaveJudd wow you racist prop because you had a white ps4 slim right?! Allah over the west in 2050!
@@vegetashairline3060 Based game selection. I haven't played COD since BO4, but I hope Treyarch comes back with better Zombies. I have the original day 1 PS4 in white color and I will probably not buy a PS5. I built a PC during the pandemic 2020ish because of modding, and I like to "try" games out before buying them on Steam if you get what I mean ☠️
This is the PS4 version that I got. Instead of having capacitive power and eject buttons, they have physical
The touch-sensitive buttons were so dumb. I found out how dumb they were when I got my Xbox and it lived next to my PS4. Any time I played Xbox, the heat would dissipate close enough to the PS4 that eventually it would power on and start rapidly ejecting and sucking the disk in and out. First time it happened I damn near had a panic attack. 👻
Xbox 360 S, 360 E and also the fat Xbox One had these, though I've never accidentally turned them on/off MS also returned to a mechanical button for the One S/X and continued with that on the Series.
I have a launch PS4 that still puts in the work, but my friend bought one of these revision units for his brother back in the day. It has since gone on to my brother, as his slim unit suffered from hardware failure around last Sept. during one of the system updates. Best I can tell from the error code it's an issue with the BD drive communicating with the rest of the hardware.
The PS4 controller is hands down my favorite controller out of anything.
one little difference to previous models was the blue led stripe on the console didnt light up the whole stripe anymore.never the less i liked the matte finish way more than older models with their glossy piano stuff from plastik hell
I love this channel. Spawn seems like a genuine dude who just nerds out on his passion and it’s awesome.
Thanks for taking it apart good learning video for me that's the ps4 model that I have
I have that one. No wonder the teardown process was somewhat different compared to the original PS4 model.
Now I know it had the components that would mostly share with the PS4 Slim.
I remember my sisters surprising me with this system as a graduation gift in 2014. Fans blow like crazy now, but it still runs 😀
How'd they get you a 2015 revision in 2014?🤔
@@sashen6678 im not sure but i got this in 2014 as well so maybe it released at the end of 2014
@@alexandermccabe556cap 🧢
May need to clean it or replace the fans if they're really loud
@@razorswc thermal paste probably dried up
5:29 shout out to spawnwave’s spawn playing the background 😂
I had to pause the video, thinking someone was yelling outside 😂
@@furiousthumbstick same 😂 had to play it back to be sure
🤣
I haven't forgotten about this because I still play my day 1 console everyday. It runs smooth and quiet like the first day I bought it.
This is the PS4 model that I have along with a PS4 Pro. The PS4 uses a SATA II interface so a 2.5" SSD will work but it wouldn't be able to run at the full speed offered by SATA III. The PS4 Pro on the other hand uses a SATA III interface so of course on my PS4 Pro I am using a 2 TB Samsung SSD.
I have a 1tb 870 evo in my Spider-Man pro definitely worth the upgrade along with replacing thermal paste and pads it runs so quiet even with newer games, the ps4 would’ve been good to last long enough to the ps5 pro man I wish I didn’t get the ps5 early only cause it was the Spider-Man 2 edition, cause most cross games I have I get for the ps4 instead of ps5 save some space and not too big on fps matters or fidelity looks about the same on pro but this year seems to be the cut off for ps4 games it was a good run
U need use USB external ssd to get Sata3 speed on ps4
Thanks for the hard work you put into these weekly videos.
Cool video/info! I never knew about this revision. Thanks for the quick lesson!
That's the one I have. I didn't even realize it was a revision from the launch model. Still works great. I mainly use it as a PSVR machine now when I don't feel like lugging the PS5 to the VR room.
2:59 the touch sensitive buttons on my PS4 work perfectly to this day, going on ten years since I bought it
Thanks for the refresher video! I recalled having to open my PS4 to clean up the dust from the fans. I think I purchased my model from GameStop in 2014, they were offering trade-in discounts and traded a PS3 Slim just to save off $100.
Thanks for doing a deconstruct of this PS4. This model I use mainly as a BD/DVD player in the bedroom. For games I use the PS5. On PS4 I like the winter theme with the ski-lifts and also the World of FF train theme.
That's my PS4, never realized that mine was different from the original release and I still love it.
Great minds think alike. I just got one of these on 10.71, I’m gonna do a 1TB SSD and keep it for future jailbreaks. Great vid!
I have this model! It’s the last original PS4 model that released before the PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim. I always try and go for the last model number produced for any original console design because they’re usually revised and fix any issues the launch models or models released after launch have.
This is the PS4 I have. Been a solid little unit
I have one of these PS4s, specifically the MGS V Phantom Pain edition, imported from France (also released in Japan). It's working great for me. I did open it up and replaced the thermal compound with Arctic MX-4, and it runs quiet and cool. Put in a 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD into it, and I'm loving the console to this day. As far as I know, this is basically the same as the PS4 slim in terms of power efficiency and performance, but just housed in an original looking PS4 shell. So I'd say this is still a good one to buy today, unless you're looking at the Pro revision.
Mine is a keeper, since it's a limited edition and also, having been imported from Europe, it allows me to watch Region B blu-ray movies.
I have this model and didn't know for the longest time it wasn't the standard model. I always hated that glossy plastic and was glad this is the one I ended up with.
I have this one! I remember being told to specifically choose it over the 1tb models at the time (late 2015) because this one was more energy efficient, and I ended up replacing the hard drive with an ssd later on. I've since moved to a PS5, but I still have this model in storage, waiting to be used again
I’m barely getting ready to upgrade from this ps4 I got it on launch week. Loved it.
PLEASE raise the gain on your mic! this and every newswave that I've seen is consistently quieter than other creators and when listening on a phone, there's only so much I can raise the volume on my side!
yeah I have that one. Didn't realize it was that different from the launch edition other than the glossy plastic being removed. Mine came with the Uncharted Nathan Drake collection. Dual Shock 4 probably one of my favorites of all time
That’s the model I have! Still going strong 10 years later
That's the Ps4 I have still using it to this day had to replace a corrupted hard drive once but still works great! 👍
my friend had one, I remember it catching me off guard cause the controller was also all matte instead of glossy. They also did a slight PSVR1 revision around this time
This is the one I had. I walked into a best buy during black friday 2015 at 9am, no other customers in the store but me, grabbed this as part of the uncharted collection bundle.
Still to this day the most seamless black friday shopping experience I've ever had.
I got this specific model for my 16th birthday back in 2015 and I LOVED the design and how dead quiet it was compared to the later Slim and Pro models. Sadly it got stolen in '19 or '20 and I miss it every day, because of the fun times I had playing Dying Light, COD, and many other great games from that time.
Yeah, good point, this one is in fact quieter than both the Slim and the Pro revisions. I re-pasted both of those for my friend and was surprised that they're both louder than this earlier version PS4.
@@konstantine_c I had both the Slim and the Pro and the Slim was definitely quieter than the Pro, but the Pro sounded like it was taking off from the airport before I finally snagged a PS5. I have a hard time taking Sony consoles apart, but I did manage to re-paste an OG PS4 for a buddy of mine and it was a nightmare.
I traded in my launch PS4 for this version as my launch version would constantly and randomly kick out discs that I thought was due to faulty touch buttons. Being able to get rid of the glossy top panel was icing on the cake. It's been running perfectly since!
I remember my friend getting this PS4 and I really loved the physical buttons it had vs the touch buttons on my launch PS4. I hated how those touch buttons would turn on the PS4 even after unplugging it (the capacitors took a while to run out of power) and then it would corrupt my hard drive.
I had this PS4 for a very short time, the 1215A model. I got it used but man was it the BEST condition I could ever get from a used one. The guy didn't even unpack the mic that came with the console. Zero scratches on the console and the controller. I didn't experience those extremely loud fans, it was working well for me. I had to sell it a couple years later to build a PC. At first I regretted my decision but later I found out that the free PS Plus glitch I used to do was patched :)
The DS4 is my favourite controller to use on PC currently. I bought one recently and it basically sinks into my hands. It also has better build quality than any other controller I've used.
ds4 what
Which one, the version 1 or version 2? I know they made bigger controllers for the later PS4 models, my friend had problems using my old PS4's controllers but when he bought his own PS4 the DS4 had a larger grip
I remember seeing these being bundled with Call of Duty Black Ops III, my brother and I got one from GameStop Christmas 2015 of that year.
I got this model for Christmas in 2015, it was a Star Wars Battlefront bundle and came with a year of PS+
Back in the day, Sony said you could use this as a space heater for the winter John 😂
Finally I know what model I have thanks! It’s been driving me crazy for years.
I got the Arkham Knight version, and I think it was a model just before this one since it has the capacitive buttons. Still plays like a charm and has no glossy plastic.
Yup, this is the model I own as I bought the Star Wars Battlefront 2 (I honestly wanted the Uncharted Trilogy bundle but it was out of stock) in very late December of 2015. Honestly, I didn't even know it was a refreshed model. I still occasionally use it today as, outside of faster load screens, there hasn't been enough financial incentive to drop $500+tax for the very few PS5 exclusives that I have an interest in.
Bought this back in December, 2015 and never knew it was any different from the original PS4 at release
The good ol' "C-Chassis" PS4. I got this in Summer, 2016, bundled with Uncharted 4 and had it since the revision of the Pro came out. God, i miss that console, so many games, so much memories.
I'm still using a original bundle model that came with uncharted 1,2,3 That's the same model I have CUH 1215A. I haven't had any problems with it yet so far. I use a external Seagate Game Drive for PS4 with it for most of my games that are downloaded or physical 2017 model drive.
Same here i had the 60 GB
I know that ps4 sounds like a jet engine
Same. The Nathan Drake Collection. Still have it. I upgraded from 500gb to 2tb, with a 2tb external.
@@eddi3401 👍
Wassup cuh
I got this model.
It broke after 2 years.
Got a second one through Sony support after a repair shop couldn't fix it.
The second one refused to read my discs after another 2 years. I originally had to unplug it to make it work.
I don't even play them that often nor do I leave them in sleep mode.
I got a slim in 2019, so far its good.
I have a 1 TB variant of this model and still use it regularly (CUH-1208B), it had came as an unofficial bundle with God of War 3 Remastered and Infamous: Second Son discs for free (a special festive bundle on the occasion of Diwali 2015 in India).
I have this and its the best Ps4 fat model revision, It never ran like a jet, just keep it clean
Thats the one i had. Didnt even know a "normal" one was half shiny. Also remember it had awful wi fi problems. Literally kept disconnecting all the time so i just sold it off. Collected dust anyways.
Yeah i didn't have those kind of problems but the wifi speeds were shit on that model
Love my PS4 Pro. As for ranking the pads - DualShock 3 is my favourite. Pressure-sesitive buttons for full PS2 compatibility, and immense battery life.
My 15+ year old DualShock 3 pads still go longer between charges than my far newer DualShock 4 pads.
DualShock 4 was great though. My main gripe was the battery life.
I remember this one. My oldest brother had the og glossy one and my middle brother had the 2015 revision. Only thing that was weird switching between the two was the mat finish didn’t have touch buttons
PS4 is alive and well. They are still games coming out for it.
unfortunately
@@mcsnuggie PS5 flopped due to scalpers, PS4 still good standards even for today's landscape
I ended up getting one of these for my birthday back in 2015! I always thought it was cool that it didn’t have the glossy plastic on it
I have this one and am still using it. Yet to upgrade to the PS5. All my friends with the original model have complained about fan issues but this one has never had problems for me.
I have the CUH-1216B 1TB model.
Got it just before the Slim launched and the stores were clearing out these fat models.
£150/180 for the 500GB/1TB.
Was using it for VR and 3D Blu Rays until the audio jack on my PSVR stopped working.
Now keeping it next to my PC ready for the homebrew scene to blowup.
My first PS4 had the glossy side and then I got another just like the one in the video. Stripped it cleaned it out and put fresh thermal paste in it. Works like a champ still to this day
I loved the DS4 because I never needed to buy a new one. I either bought them for under $20 or they were given to me because they were broken. At one time I had no less than a dozen of them. It was always either broken triggers or the USB port.
DS4 had much better build quality. I went through 3 in 10 years. I’ve gone through 5 dualsenses already. It’s so bad that I get a GameStop warranty on it and switch it out yearly since that’s when the drift usually kicks in
@@Cruxis_Angel Damn if the DS4 is better than the Dualsense I'm glad I don't own one.
@@Cruxis_Angel how I have the exact opposite experience I went through ds4 like candy
@@Cruxis_Angelds4 would get stick drift for me in the first 2-3 months every single time idk why but it was some shit
a ssd is a big boost for the ps4
I had this exact PS4 with the matte cover instead of the glossy one. I was kinda shocked when I went over to a friends house to hear how loud his launch PS4 really got. Mine was pretty loud too, but not as much
Gone, not forgotten. I had one when I was 11 years old. God, that is such a long time ago!
This is the exact model ps4 I got in late 2015 bundled with a physical copy of the Uncharted Collection. It's been a great system, I still use it quite often.
I actually used to have this PS4, it came bundles from Best Buy with Black Ops 3. She was a faithful pedal 💪
That's the model i bought back in 2015 and still have to the date and have never given me any problem. I have never open it to clean it out or replace the thermo paste. The last ti.e i used it was last month to migrate the data to my ps5 slim. Tha k you for your service old ps4!!
Wasn’t aware of this console. Looks pretty cool to me though. That was a good video by the way. 👍👍👍
I still use this ps4 as my homebrewed ps4 and it works like a champ 8 years and going.
this is the one i have, bought it back in summer 2016, can't believe it's almost 8 years ago
I haven’t used a PlayStation since the 2. My Brother recently purchased a PS5 and gifted me his old PS4 with about 20 games, mostly Exclusives. I’m having a blast! ❤
I like seeing you use that Kobalt screwdriver - it’s underrated.
This is the model of the PS4 that I have! It's still at my parents' place. Still love the thing.
I have installed a SSD on my PS4 works charms like on the One X. Even the Menu is scrolling more smoothly and loading times are lowered considerably.
Yeah fr even with the sata 2 limitation i still think its worth it it makes everything so much faster
This was the model I ended up getting and I had no idea the OG model had touch sensors for thr power and eject buttons I just assumed they swapped out the glossy panel
Dualshock 4 is hands down my favorite controller of all time with the 360 controller being my 2nd favorite. I like to actually grip my controller rather than just cradle, or lightly grasp them, and every other controller since has felt WAY too slippery. I have huge hands, from heel of my palm to the tip of my middle fingers are ~8 and 3/4 inches long, so not small at all.
I have the first revision, where they first got rid of the glossy side panel - still going strong
I was lucky enough to have the original model PS4 just before this forgotten one was released
This video is very helpful when I was watching ps4 vids I was like none of these were mine
I have this model. Picked it up used at a pawn shop on Staten Island for $250. It’s my pride and joy and will still be after I get a PS5
My base PS4 is still the launch day version. I remember having to remove the rubber foot on the front underneath the eject button because that rubber foot was triggering the touch eject button.
I belive i have this model. Got it in November 2015 as the Star Wars Battlefront bundle. Even came with bounty hunter, super star wars, jedi starfighter and pod racer revenge digitally on the system already.
PS4 was such a GOATed console, I played mine for a decade until just two weeks ago when i bought the Spiderman 2 PS5 Slim while it was on sale. And i wouldnt even have done so if the games i want this year werent all gonna be PS5/Series S/X exclusives, those being Stellar Blade, Dragonball Sparking Zero, and Treyarch's Call of Duty.
PS4 reaches 85+ celscius easily at demanding games, i just replaced the heatsink with a AK400 PC cooler tower and it barely reaches 55 c now.
Would that work for a PS4 Pro and where can I find one?
@@JReed7560 It would, but you have to take the heatsink out from the metal plate and then glue the cooler base flat over the base with metal glue epoxy, so the cooler will be screwed properly over the APU.
This is the one I got / still have!
This console became the base model after the glossy one stopped being made, just like ps5 and ps5 slim 🤷
Love the ps4 design, n still use mine to this day.
I have this exact model near 10 years and it's suрprisingly good
I love the buttons colored buttons and wish they’d make it again
That's the one I have and I still use it as I haven't gotten a PS5 yet. Also very easy to replace the hard drive on to upgrade the size. Mine is still very quiet.
I Had the half-glossy OG. I currently have a Slim and the later Pro that has the figure-8 power plug, not the three-prong power plug.
I have this one, I still use it. Works perfectly well.
still have it baby
I got one of these for Christmas 2015 as a Nathan Drake collection bundle. It started to have severe overheating issues in 2019 so I haven’t used it since so it was perfect for hacking when I found out about 9.00 modding.
This is the 1st PS4 I owned. The DS4 has always been my favorite controller. The PS5s dual sense is great but the DS4 just feels better to hold. It's the main controller I use on PC.
I have a launch PS4 and the touch buttons work just fine. Collecting as much physical media as I can for it. I'm up to 110 games now, with a lot of limited run/indie/uncommon games.
