I logged a lot of hours on the 360 version, having several tier X tanks. The graphic and audio upgrades for the PS4 are very well done. Despite my large garage of tanks on 360, I've made the jump to PS4 and am moving up the trees I did not play previously.
   
   For the new player, you really need to give the game some time. Initially I played for weeks before I even realized you can auto-throttle with L3, or zoom with R3. The game seems simple but really getting a hang of the mechanics and strategy takes time. Also picking the right challenges really helps progress faster in the early stages.
   
   The other aspect that makes WOT so fantastic is that the offering of Tanks on PS4 as of launch is only a fraction of the tanks that will be available in the months to come. Personally I can't wait until they drop the British heavies in there so I can rack up the hits on those bumbling Churchills.
   
   Only minor issue I have with the PS4 version is the inability to "mute all" via the option menu. I have a much higher opinion of my teammates when I don't have to listen to them.… Expand

It is beautiful there are many many tanks to choose from. You can play it for hours without spending any money. I do spend money myself and I do not regret it. Some tanks can be very expensive to buy like type 59 which I have but it also feels special to have it. The game is not easy but it is hard to put it away. You do get free premium tanks from time to time. The game is a lot of fun.… Expand

To start, the graphics and performance greatly improved the 7th gen graphics. You can now see explosions in full 1080p 60fps! This is probably the best tank video game around! Controls are great, gameplay is fun, and it gives you lots of different modes to play and there's more than plenty tanks to play with and there's no pay-to-win, even if there is DLC. The only downside is is that updates take WAY too long. First, you need to download the update on your PS4 which takes long enough, then you have to install it in game which takes longer than installing the game. But this has been a problem for all consoles and there's a minigame you can play while you wait. Overall this is a really great game and is definitely worth getting… Expand

   It could have been a great game on consoles too but in case of the massive input lag it’s unplayable.

TheseIts silly this game has a 5 rating when examining play style and free to play. First of all, a lot of players do not play to win. These players play to add points to their own stats and camp base instead of moving to advanced positions where their tank is needed in an attempt to help teammates. These players might be clueless(which is doubtful because usually these campers are unicum or super unicum(the best player ratings in the game)) but experience shows that they don't want to win and only want to add to their stats. By camping, an average player(not even an advanced player)can deal more damage than they are dealt, get more kills than they are killed, and block damage from a good defensive position. Basically, once basic layouts are discovered an average player can get unicum status by being a camper and watching their team die. The worst part is that this is avoidable through teaching. However, instead of teaching and advising players where to go and how to use tanks, the advanced players remain quiet(i suspect they don't want to teach so they can face their teammates later and kill them easily). When players speak up trying to educate teams and misplaced tanks, the campers get offended and hostile making it an unfriendly environment for growth and advanced play style. More or less, a toxic environment void of internal advancement(one can advance play style by watching numerous videoes and reading a lot of articles). Next, the free to play gamers can stay effective if they know their tanks(see above mentioned how advanced players are uninformitive, basically jerks) and tank lines in game. Honestly, I've been playing since 2013 between PC and console and 90% of console players do not know map layouts or where to go with their tanks. It could be because they prefer to camp or it could be that they have no idea where to go or how to play their tanks. Its sad if you have a team half full of heavies and not one goes heavy line when there's 2 heavy lines on a map, or if you have two lights who both go down a heavy line and sit front line spotting nothing while the back half of the map is wrecked due to lack of spotting). On console, most unicum players know where to go to camp and watch their teams die while they pad stats. Its unfortunate that players aren't trying to advance the culture of world of tanks. Trying to make the game more diverse and including new players would further develop the game. Offering teaching techniques and speaking in game, opening dialog so players know how to use their tanks and how to angle their armor. It's surprising how many players don't know armor angles and even more surprising how many advanced players never teach this. All in all, shame on you World of Tanks community. You created and support a cringe worthy environment. An environment where players purposely back out to get bot matches(mainly cold war. Players can cancel game starts until they see a low amount of players in queue so they can fight AI and boost their scores by playing the game on easy mode. My 5 year old nephew doesn't even play on easy mode), an environment where teaching is frowned upon, an environment void of teamwork and community, an environment that is, to put it bluntly, dying. I know its been said for a few years now, World of Tanks is dying, and I never believed it. We have bots now... we have players who don't teach now... we do not have strongholds... we do not have clan wars... ground wars are gone. Shame on you World of Tanks community.… Expand
