This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
PlayStation 4 Console
This PlayStation 4 is the CUH-1004A with 500 GB nominal storage and an applied wood-look skin. This is decorative covering, not a wooden body. Beneath it is the original larger PS4 design, not Slim or Pro. Insert a PS4 disc in the front slot and start from the main menu. Installations and saves use internal storage, partly reserved for the system. Physical games generally still need their disc.
HDMI carries picture and sound. These models also have optical digital audio and an internal power supply. DualShock 4 offers twin sticks, a touchpad, shoulder buttons and Share for captures. Pair a compatible controller with a USB data cable. Local multiplayer requires extra controllers and a game supporting it. Online features need internet and sometimes a subscription; availability varies by game.
PS1, PS2 and PS3 discs do not work directly on this PS4. A reissued older game must be a separate PS4 version. Standard Blu-ray films and DVDs are supported, not Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Allow ventilation and check each game's storage needs. Included controllers and cables follow this offer, not an earlier retail bundle. The five games illustrate the library and are included only when explicitly stated.
History
PlayStation 4 launched in North America and Europe in November 2013. Sony built a generation on different system hardware from PS3, giving installations, personal profiles and game captures a central role. DualShock 4 retained twin sticks and familiar symbol buttons while adding a touchpad and Share button. Developers could use these alongside traditional controls. The original angular body also made the console visually distinctive.
In 2015 the CUH-1200 series revised the original design with changes in power consumption, weight and finish. CUH-1216B belongs to that family, CUH-1004A to the earlier series. The smaller Slim and more powerful Pro followed in 2016. Those names identify hardware versions, not decorative skins. Applying wood-look covering to an original PS4 does not create a new official model or Pro console.
The library grew through varied adventures: Bloodborne emphasised combat and exploration, Uncharted 4 climbing and action, and Horizon Zero Dawn machines and open landscapes. God of War in 2018 gave Kratos a different setting and companion. These games show how studios continued using PS4 beyond its launch years. Later remasters and sequels are separate releases; their extra resolution, content or features do not automatically belong to the original console and disc.
Five popular PlayStation 4 games
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End reunites Nathan Drake and his brother Sam in pursuit of pirate treasure. Climb rocks and buildings, swing from a rope and take cover in firefights. Larger areas allow route choices, while vehicles sometimes change the pace. Sticks divide movement and camera control. This concerns the original PS4 single-player campaign, not technical improvements from Legacy of Thieves.
God of War from 2018 follows Kratos and Atreus through a world of Norse stories. Fight with the Leviathan Axe, block with a shield and call on Atreus during encounters. Throwing and recalling the axe makes distance and timing important. Between battles, explore areas and solve environmental puzzles. The camera stays close to Kratos. This is the 2018 adventure, not the later God of War Ragnarök.
Horizon Zero Dawn has Aloy hunt machines across an open landscape. Her Focus reveals behaviour and vulnerable components before you choose bows, traps and ammunition. Taking apart a heavy opponent often requires more preparation than defeating a small one. Exploration, quests and uncovering Aloy's past complement combat. Play alone with a standard controller. Later remasters and The Frozen Wilds are separate releases or additional content.
Ratchet & Clank for PS4 from 2016 retells the heroes' first meeting. Travel between planets, jump obstacles and use an arsenal that grows as you play. Weapons such as the Pixelizer distinguish combat from conventional shooters. Clank has puzzle sections using robots to open routes. Controls combine movement, aiming and tools. It is a standalone PS4 game, not a copy of Rift Apart.
Bloodborne takes you through Yharnam, a maze of narrow streets, hidden passages and dangerous enemies. Read attack patterns, dodge in time and choose an opening to counterattack. Unlocking a shortcut shortens later attempts. Weapons change form and require different distances. This action RPG rewards considered decisions within fast combat. Network features and The Old Hunters expansion are not required for this example of the base adventure.
