I am Rafael "Lontra", founder of Mito Games. We just built and solo-ported our very first game from scratch to PlayStation: a Brazilian 2D Metroidvania called "4 The Elements". Ask Me Anything! (Giving away 10 PS keys!)

Hi r/PS4 !

I’m Rafael, but everyone in the industry calls me "Lontra" (which means Otter in Portuguese). I am the founder and game designer at Mito Games, a small indie studio based in Brazil. Today is a massive milestone for us: our very first game, 4 The Elements, has officially launched on PlayStation!!

We built this 2D element-shifting platformer for our very first authoral game, and as a tiny team, we also handled 100% of the console porting process ourselves. It was a long, brutal, and beautiful journey full of technical hurdles, but we fought through them to deliver a polished experience we are incredibly proud of.

Check out the game on the PS Store

Fun fact: Since my nickname is Lontra, the water spirit in the game is a giant river otter based entirely on me and my own personality! The other three elements (Fire, Earth, and Air) are also represented by iconic Brazilian wildlife: a Jaguar, an Armadillo, and a Macaw.

The Giveaway (10 PlayStation Keys!)
To celebrate our launch with this amazing community, we are giving away 10 digital keys for the game!

How to enter: Just leave a comment below with any question about game design, solo-porting to consoles, the Brazilian indie scene, or just say hello!

When: The giveaway officially starts at 7:00 PM EST (8:00 PM BRT) tonight (Friday), but you can post your questions in advance and they will count the same 😉 .

Duration: I will be hanging out here all weekend, answering every single question you throw at me. I'll randomly draw the 10 winners at the end of Sunday (EST).

Why early support matters to us:
As a small indie studio, we don't have massive marketing budgets. Launching on the PlayStation Store is a dream come true, but we heavily rely on the community's early support.

If you pick up the game, leaving an honest review on the store helps our visibility and the PlayStation algorithm more than you can imagine.

I’ll be active all weekend to talk about coding, art, porting pains, and anything else. Ask Me Anything!

The PS4 is one of mankind’s greatest engineered products. It never died

I bought two original ps4’s back in 2014. One for my brother and one for me. I shit you not my one has genuinely had probably 75% uptime since new. I never turn it off. We are talking 8+ years of being consistently on in ultra dusty hot conditions. Nowadays I use it exclusively for Netflix and YouTube. But it soldiers on. Praise be to Sony

Asking for game recommendations

I have had a ps4 for a long while now but most games seem to be FPS games. I have the entire borderlands series besides borderlands 4 and I have fallout 4 and gold rush the game. I'm not sure what strategy games or simulation games there are and I'm sort of getting tired of first person shooters. I like stuff like satisfactory and the total war games and schedule 1 and survival games as well like valheim. If anyone knows any good games similar to these let me know. Rimworld is already on my wishlist and I might get bauldrs gate 2 on it as well. My PC is old and out of date so all I got is the PS4.

I'm hoping to perform a top 100 PS4 games tournament in this sub where everyone gets to vote what their favourite PS4 games are. In order to do this though, I need a list of 100 games.

This time, before I start the contest, I wanted to know if there was any games that you think should be on this list, but currently aren't (and which games you'd replace them with). I'll give you my reasoning for some of the games that are or aren't on the list:

  • Games that were launched simultaneously on PS5 don't count (they will be part of the PS5 version of this if I get to it).
  • Ports of PS3 games like God of War III or The Last of Us don't count.
  • Indie games only count if they make their console debut during 2014-2020, so no Super Meat Boy.
  • I didn't want to include remakes that were just graphical improvements over a previous gen title, so no Crash N. Sane Trilogy, Spyro Reignited Trilogy or Tony Hawk's Pro SKater 1+2.
  • Remakes that were basically new games were allowed, such as Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7 made the cut.
  • Crash Team Racing and Ratchet and Clank weren't entirely new games, but they weren't just the first game with nicer graphics either, so they made the cut.
  • Cyberpunk, Street Fighter V and No Man's Sky were initially shortlisted, but were cut for other titles due to problematic launches.

Meu irmão quebrou meu controle oque eu faço com ele

Atualização: eu resolvi perdoar ele por conta disso, eu só tenho 16 anos mas quando tinha a idade dele já quebrei coisas também, todos nós já fomos crianças um dia não é? Eu pedi desculpas também por gritar com ele, provavelmente vou comprar um novo controle mês que vem :)

Ontem de noite eu estava jogando Gran turismo até que lembrei que meu irmão também gostava de carros ele é fixado por eles, ele tem 6 anos, eu resolvi ser um bom irmão e deixei ele jogar no meu PS4, não deu 2 minutos e ele deixou meu controle cair no chão, meu controle arranhou e agora toda vez que vibra ele faz um barulho de gancho, aquele controle nunca caiu antes na minha mão, eu sinceramente nunca senti tanta raiva na minha vida antes, eu tentei ser legal e foi isso oque eu ganhei, se vocês estivessem no meu lugar, vocês perdoariam ele ou fariam algo?

What I liked and didn't like about The Last of Us Part II

I wanted to talk about this game for years, however I was scared to do so on so many other subs, due to a lot of the vitoral from both the hardcore haters and fanboys. I want to say off the bat that I did enjoy the game, and would rate it an 8/10.

What I liked:

  • The graphical quality is astounding. Even on PS4, it looks more impressive than the majority of PS5 games. Bonus points awarded for the facial animation, extremely impressive.
  • As annoying as some of the walking sections get in this game, I do like the introductory section with Ellie, as we see how the town has grown and developed since the first game. The begining of Abbie's section has a similar effect for me.
  • I like how grousome the game is willing to get. It's dark, it's violent, it has nudity, sex scenes, drugs, it helps give the game a mature vibe that I find even the new God of War games to be lacking in.
  • The art style is wonderful. It's so easy to make a world like this bland and forgettable, but not this game. The highlight for me would be when you're escaping the burning village via horseback.
  • The level design is exceptional. It never feels like you're wandering down corridors, even though technically I'm sure you are so many times.
  • I loved how brutal Joel's death is. I feel that if he died in a less violent way, it'd make The Last of Us 1 more laughable to me. "Seriously Joel, you died to a bullet in the sequel, but you survived all this in the first game."
  • The partner AI is a lot less laughable this time around. How many times in the first game did it look silly when Ellie stood right in front of a licker, but they didn't notice her at all.
  • Thematically, I like how Ellie and Abbie desire justifiable revenge leads to them losing everyone they still had.
  • I really liked how this one random NPC from the first game was actually a super serious character withing the series' lore.

What I didn't like:

  • I can't stand the cult faction. For a game that's trying so hard to push the narrative that even the minorist of NPC characters can be super important, these guys just seem to exist solely to be used as enemy fodder.
  • I know that this game is supposed to be depressing, but I think that it gets to the point where characters dying isn't as dramatic or as shocking as it was supposed to be. By the time I had to go to the hospital to get supplies to save Lev's sister, I was thinking "What's the point, she's probably going to die anyway" which she did.
  • While I think both Ellie and Abbie do need to survive for the game's theming to work, I don't understand why Ellie decided to let Abbie live in the end.
  • On a similar note, it feels like Abbie's life didn't need Ellie in order to be changed forever, thanks to her subplot with the cult.
  • This game interupts the core gameplay way too often for my liking. In the first game, you got a load of walking sequences to start with, but when the core gameplay started, they got dialled back a tonne. In this game, it feels like I'm always getting interupted with walking sequences or flashbacks. The gameplay is never allowed to take centre stage here.
  • Abbie's faction's leader is a character I flat out hate. He's so stereotypically hateful of the cult to the point where he will mercilessly torture and murder all of them. He doesn't feel like a real person to me, he feels like a cartoon character.

Getting themes that are no longer searchable on PS4

So I came to the ps4 console very late, like, 2022 or so...
I wanted the 20th anniversary theme so bad, but it seemed unable to be gotten, even by the method of using a UK account.
But I found a way...
The bad news? You have to pay $20 one time to "psprices." It does kinda suck, but this site will allow you to find themes that are no longer searchable on the console theme store.
https://psprices.com/region-us/game/279074/playstationr-20th-anniversary-theme
For example, here is the 20th anniversary theme. I was afraid it was not going to work, but I tried it so you don't have to, and I now have the 20th anniversary theme on my account. This doesn't hack or anything. It just has a connection to the PS Store in such a way that seems to bypass the need to search for it, which is where the themes are disconnected from. They still exist on the store to buy, you just cannot find them. This site seems to link you directly to the Playstation store checkout page for that theme. It doesn't purchase them through the "psprices" website or require you to put your login credentials into their system. It seems to be just a database site.

I hope this isn't considered an ad/self promo. I don't have anything to do with this site, for the record. I've seen a lot of people, in trying to get this theme myself, who want themes that they can't find on the ps store anymore. This is a solid resource that allows you to get these themes... It sucks you have to pay, but for those who are willing, it's an option.
