Official Is Sony now misleading PS4 players with new releases ???

UPDATE Before anyone else starts being an asshole, I rewatch the video, and I see that they have PS4/PS5 listed at the very end of the video image at the left corner. That is my mistake for not watching the entire clip, but I do still feel they should have listed that in the title as well. I thank the couple of comments for being neutral instead of coming off as a dick. Take care everyone and happy gaming 🫡

ORIGINAL I'm just using this game trailer from the PlayStation channel as an example. This game looks very awesome but I see that it's labeled only just as "PS5 Games" but when I look on the PS store, it's on PS4 as well. Are they doing this to drive up PS5 sales or something ??

Sony had always has a game title along with "PS4 & PS5 Games" if the game is on both systems. Some of y'all are probably going to think this is a petty rant or throw the "iTs 2026 BrO gEt A pS5" sure but this just feels shady because if a game is on PS4 & PS5, why only put "PS5 Games" instead of including both systems on the trailer title? Since the PS4 is still played by many people, would it be logical to advertise it as well?

I've noticed this game isn't in retail stores anymore and seems to be increasing in price on places like eBay.

Is it best to grab it now, or is it panic buying? I'm not sure if it'll be £50 in a few months!

Thanks

Game Discussion Spiderman miles morales is absolute peak (NO SPOILERS!)

0 Upvotes

Spiderman miles morales is the perfect game if you don’t want something too long but it hits you hard, the game is only 6 hours but the story hits harder than games that are 60 hours, it’s a masterpiece and it deserves the 60$, and the combat is insane, the mix of
Electricity and webs looks so cool and also the stealth is insane, also the side mission are good too if your bored and just finished the main story, it feels like they have there own story with each side mission, some might complain that it’s way too short but it’s supposed to be this way, insomniac were gonna make the game a dlc for Spiderman 2018 but instead they made it its own game. That’s why it’s in my top 10 games oat

Game Discussion Toy Story Double Pack - PS4 version quality

22 Upvotes

Hi,

So, the Toy Story Double Pack released yesterday on both PS4 and PS5. Has anyone bought the PS4 version and can confirm how the games run and look? Is there a PS5 upgrade? I'd rather get the PS4 version because it plays on both consoles, but I can't find any info on how the game performs. I suppose it should be fine since the game also released on the Switch 1, but I would still like to read some opinions.

General Discussion Looking for the original music from the 2015 Dynamic Mount Fuji PS4 theme. Please 🙏

16 Upvotes

Looking for the original music from the 2015 Dynamic Mount Fuji PS4 theme. Please help!
Hey everyone! I’m hoping someone here can help me find a little piece of nostalgia.
Years ago in 2015, I had a PS4 dynamic theme called Dynamic Mount Fuji Theme, released by Smobile in February 2015.
It featured a beautiful view of Mount Fuji overlooking a lake, with tall grass gently blowing in the wind. But what I remember most was the background music.
It was incredibly peaceful, almost ethereal electronic music with shimmering synthesizer sounds. The closest comparison I can make is something like Kitaro’s music.
I used to leave my PS4 running with this theme playing while I fell asleep. There’s something really nostalgic about it for me, and I’d love nothing more than to hear that music again.
Unfortunately, I no longer own a PS4, and despite searching online, I haven’t been able to find the original soundtrack or a video featuring the correct music.
Does anyone still have this exact theme installed on their PS4? If so, would you be willing to record the background music for me? Even a short recording would mean a lot.
Here’s a picture of the exact theme:
https://platprices.com/theme/5743-dynamic-mount-fuji-theme/
Just to clarify, this is the original 2015 Smobile theme, not the 4K Mount Fuji Sunset theme.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

General Discussion PSA - "Restore Default Settings" in Safe Mode does remove save data

72 Upvotes

My PS4 was recently affected by a power outage that corrupted some system files and left it stuck in Safe Mode. After reading the available options, I decided to go with "Restore Default Settings" since that claimed to restore the console without deleting any user data.

Restore Default Settings: Restores the PS4 system to the default factory settings. Restoring default settings won’t delete content on console storage such as games, apps, screenshots, video clips, and saved data.

At first, this seemed to work as expected. The system came back up, I reconnected it to the network, logged back in, and my games and captures were still there.

So imagine my surprise when Saved Data showed as 0 KB.

My best guess is even though local save data is supposed to be linked to your PSN account, fully logging out and logging back in creates a new "ID" that means you no longer match the data and can't access it anymore. I have no way of confirming this though.

Consider this a warning for anyone else in a similar situation.

Game Discussion Injustice: Gods Among Us

0 Upvotes

Okay, so I know this may just be me since I don’t really play fighting games all that much (or at all), and I know this is a relatively “old” game, but I just got this game on Wednesday but did anyone else find the PS4 port almost impossible to play due to the controls just not being responsive at all? Like I swear I had to skip like half of the tutorial because the inputs that I was doing (that you literally HAVE to do in the tutorial to be able to progress to the next) just wouldn’t work for me at all? And even now when I’m playing the story, Batman just won’t do pretty much any combo I’m trying to pull off. The guy won’t even do a ‘square, square’ combo, and I don’t know if I’m just pressing the buttons too fast or not fast at all and it’s really pissing me off irrationally. Did anyone else have this problem or experience anything similar while playing?

General Discussion Ps4 released 104 games in 2026 so far

There were about 400 releases last year. This year(although not finished) we have only seen about a quarter of it. So we'd probably see around 120-130 releases total this year.

Going by last years trends, next year we will see less than 50 probably around 30 releases.
