The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience. The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play. The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later. PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita. All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update. Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply. PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

The ps4 is a sharp piece of hardware inside and out, and the product is somewhat self explanatory to anyone who has owned an older generation console like the original PlayStation, the PS2 and the PS3. If you want a PlayStation, you will get just that.

I like platforming games and I like goofy games once in a while, so I was bound to play the Sly Cooper games at some point or another, and it was pretty much a given that I would enjoy them. When I did I play them, they drastically exceeded my expectations, there was at least A STORY, its not awful, take it for what its worth, but the way the games played were the best part. That part still exists in Thieves in Time, but the experience as a whole that the player is given feel slightly more forced than the original games. If you're a fan of the original Sly Cooper games, then you won't be disappointed. However, odds are you won't be as blown away as you were by the previous installments.
