PlayStation Fan Creates Homage to PS4 Exclusives | Game Rant
The PS5 is releasing later this year and the Internet is abuzz with talks of the upcoming console and the new games that will be playable on it. But the PS4 still holds an important place in many gamers' hearts, like the Reddit user who created a brilliantly edited video homage to PS4 exclusives.
Redditor Much118 uploaded the video to r/PS4 and entitled the homage "End of a Generation." It's a masterful combination of clips from seven different games, edited together so that one character blends into the next one. Each clip comes from a popular PS4 exclusive like Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us 2, and God of War.
The video starts off with Jin from Ghost of Tsushima locked in battle, who then throws down a smoke bomb and becomes Ellie from The Last of Us 2. Ellie's gunshot pose transitions to Uncharted 4's Nate, who swings on a vine and becomes the titular superhero Spider-Man swinging between buildings. Spider-Man rolls into Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, then into Kratos from God of War, and then finally becomes The Hunter from Bloodborne. That final title was a huge favorite from multiple people, with users like DreamInvoker praising the video for saving "the best for last."
The video's reception was overwhelmingly positive, earning several Reddit awards and over 40,000 upvotes. A lot of comments congratulated Much118 on the editing and transitions, while others reminisced about the high quality of games PS4 had. 2020 was a great year for PS4 exclusives with games like the Final Fantasy 7 remake, The Last of Us 2, and Ghost of Tsushima, but many people agree that the PS4 was just a good generation for games.
Some Redditors commented on the games missing from the video, especially Persona 5, Gravity Rush 2, and Days Gone. However, as some people pointed out, Persona 5 wasn't technically a PS4 exclusive, but the critically acclaimed Persona 5 Royal was an expanded version of the original that released only for PS4. One user, jarz7, asked for another video that includes multiplatform games like Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. After all, many PS4 players don't just play the console exclusives.
User camthorn summed up the positive energy on the thread the best with the statement "best time to be a gamer and next gen will continue to amaze us." While not everyone may completely agree with this statement, there are more games available for gamers to choose from than ever before. The PS4's final year was a big one, and gamers can only hope for the PS5 to be just as satisfying.
