this would be a better question for PS Forums, this is steam for the PC version

Consoles usually reduce effects or whatever they have to in order to try and keep the experience either locked at, or close to the 30 fps mark.

Surely Fallout 4 plays fine on the Slim, even if downtown Boston gives it the hiccups, it does the same thing on PC anyway. Heres some guys video

Don't need to watch in full, browse it at random, looks to play it fine.
It's fine on the PS4 Slim (yes at 30 fps).

Good job making a new topic for your question, OP.

I guess what I didn't know, when I bought FO4 on PS4, that I wish I had known, is this:

Pro:
-No hardware and config headaches which seem to plague PC users
-Fixed at 30 fps
-Controller - the game was written for consoles and written for controllers.

Con:
-Fixed at 30 fps
-Controller - no keyboard
-No (command/cheat) console
-Reduced set of mods as you can only use Bethesda.Net mods, not Nexus. That means you have say 10,000 mods instead of > 100,000 mods.
-Reduced capabilities of mods due to Sony restrictions on scripting and assets
-Can't use F4SE, SSE2, and some other major mods/tools
-Built in mod manager is feeble compared to having MO2, Vortex, LOOT etc
-Very hard (not impossible) to manipulate save files
-Very hard and time consuming to remove unwanted Creation Club content.

my pc cant run fo4 i did have this on my xbox until it broke error code 203 204 so i got a ps4
It runs much better on a PS4 than on an old PC, that's for sure. My old PC (2011) can barely run it but it's totally fine on the PS4.

Is the PS4slim better than the OG Xbox One hardware wise?
I originally played FO4 on the XBox One and my god was that an awful time. When the BoS appear, travelling around Boston most of the time was a slideshow with single digit fps (still somehow completed the game and sunk 200+ hours into it on console, but it was a chore at times).
