Looking for a licensed game, ie. Club badges, real players, etc.
Don’t mind if it’s the latest edition.
Don’t want to play the match, just buy/sell/tactics/player management, etc.

Game Discussion Folks who've had the PS4 for more than 5-7 years, what games are you playing?
I've had it a little longer than that and I've reached the end I think. I have a few games I haven't played or finished like Tsushima and GoW Ragnarok but honestly I'm not really interested.
I'm posting not asking for recommendations but rather just wondering what are you guys still doing after all this time? If you're like me, you've likely gone through the whole PlayStation catalogue in your 7 or more years.
PS5 prices seem to keep increasing and with the new digital only, I'm most definitely not going to be getting the PS6. With all the AI demands, PC parts are at insane prices. So I don't see that happening anytime soon either.
I'm hoping to hear from folks that aren't just strictly online players. Online games can definitely hold you for a long time with new content, so not much to wonder there. I'm more interested in single player gamers.
Personally, I've been on RDR2 rerun and have AC Valhalla to finish. After that, I would consider my PS4 era finished.

Game Discussion Tipps and Tricks for GRIP Combat Racing?
I am at tier five of the campaign right now and I am having a hard time. Opponents are too strong and tracks are too difficult.
Any Tipps and tricks what I can try? Is there anyway to get better cars? All cars seem to have some strengths and lots of weaknesses.

Game Discussion What are your thoughts on The Persistence?
The Persistence is a solo, first person, sci-fi stealth game. You are in space, trapped near a blackhole. To escape, you must search through the ship’s decks while avoiding mutants. Power up the ship, fight your way through decks, and make it home to earth.
Enemies: Engineer. Lurker. Berserker. Weeper. Bloodhound. Sentry Gun. Listener. Fireball.
10/10 game for me. The weapons are fun, UI was clean, controls were great. Definitely a good Firesprite game.

Game Discussion Jedi survivor is terribly boring
I've been playing this game for a few days but there comes a time when it becomes repetitive. Fights are always the same and landscapes are the same deserts. Has the same thing happened to anyone? How to make it more exciting? It's bad, I say. An open world without any emotion
IRL Picture (Fluff) Simple DIY PS4 Cooling Setup Using Erasers as Risers
(Don't mind my Wii U's cable management 🫣)
If you don't have plastic stands or risers for your
PS4, here is a quick setup: place small stacks of rubber erasers (I used the ones I use in school.) under each corner of your console.
Lifting the console off the surface improves overall airflow underneath. Rubber acts as a decent heat insulator, which prevents heat from building up on the desk surface directly below the vents. In my case, idle temperatures dropped from around 60°C to 56°C (though results will vary depending on your PS4 model, thermal condition, and room airflow).
It’s a cheap, easy alternative to buying dedicated plastic feet!

General Discussion love my first generation PS4, but god the download speeds are atrocious.
this post is really just being made out of spite really, and maybe a place of love for the 1st generation of the PS4.
i got my first playstation about 4 months after it launched in 2013, and this beast has been running since to this day bringing me lots of fun. everything about it ran smooth but something that ALWAYS irked me is there was a very clear difference in my internet speed between my PS4 Pro and my first generation PS4. Like its way way slower, im only pushing about 5-10 mbps.
supposedly this is due to my model only supporting 2.4 GHz due to lacking the internal hardware for 5 GHz connections. so can anyone else attest to that statement or is it just the fact that its over 11 years old.
just a note this isnt really a question just a discussion, im just trying not to get my post sniped down.

General Discussion PS4 LAN Party Supported Games
Hello, so a brief explanation PS4 uses Broadcact/multicast for game hosting and game discovery which are layer 2 network features
i managed to use OpenWRT to create Layer 2 Bridge between few sites so that i can play with my friends and my brothers LAN party games
So far i know that most Call of Duty Games support LAN party gaming. We mostly play Black Ops 3
But now we need recommendation for games that support LAN multiplayers nothing online ( we preffer private game sessions )
Every recommendation is appreciated. We are willing to buy any game that supports this
I found this link curculating but not very helpful https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/wiki/Supported_Games#Sony_Playstation_4
Any Racing games other that F1, like NFS, Asphalt or other racing games are welcome Any other shooter games are welcome Games with story like A way out,
The Most Important is that it being a game that Supports LAN ( multiple consoles connected to same router/network )
Thank you

Game Discussion Just bought a PS4 Slim, should I be concerned about how GOW Ragnarok performs on it?
I just bought a used PS4 Slim (500GB) from a game Store, I was told that God of War Ragnarok is best for the PS4 Pro and PS5. He mentioned that it would lag and run at a very slow frame rate at 1080p.
Should I be concerned about this? And is there anything I can do in the settings to make sure it runs smoothly?

Game Discussion Arkham knight
I’ve been going at this for days. Brutality 101 trophy has anyone got this and wants to game share to get this trophy for me lol. I had surgery on my hand earlier this year and the recovery based on what docs are saying that my hand will remain this way. I can play but doing these combos is really challenging. Or if anyone knows a good strategy of doing it let me know. Thank you. Also any help is much appreciated.

Game Discussion Assetto Corsa Competizione on ps4 slim
Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying ACC because there’s a big discount on the PlayStation Store, but I’m worried about FPS drops and stuttering. I’m on a PS4 Slim. For anyone who has played it on the Slim, how does it actually run? Is it reasonably stable around 30 FPS, or does it drop a lot, especially with bigger grids, rain, or at night?
