that was just his pc. on a decent computer the graphics and performance surpass next gen consoles

Actually you can buy better for the price. My rig was about $600. But I bought all the un-needed stuff a pcgamer wants. without that stuff the price came to about $430, and i outperformed the ps4. I get 70-120 FPS (depends on battle size) on this game. My friend’s ps4 was struggling to get 50 fps.

HOLY CRAP!
NOT A CHANCE!!!

Do you realize the man who helped make this machine said that graphically it has the graphics of a lower-end PC! I have games that Run 60Fps on max graphics and, look way better than the PS4 already! And I only spent 400$ dollars in total and paid retail!

That would be because planetside 2 has terrible optimization, the devs built the game on an mmo engine and optimized for 6 year old gaming PC’s. Since they are coding the PS4 version specifically for the PS4 architecture there will be great optimization. Because games like battlefield are fairly well optimized for the PC, there is less of a gap that can be filled with architecture specific optimization.
Planetside on PC = terrible optimization
PS on PS4 = good optimization
Battlefield on PC = Fair optimization
Battlefield on PS4 = good optimization

Why is everyone so disappointed about cross platform play? I think it would be stupid to have it. Mouse and Keyboard players would have a HUGE advantage, it would ruin the game for console players.

I read this as well. I’ll take a look and see if I can find the source.

It’s not guaranteed, but they do want to implement it.

Jesus! It sounds like you took that one personally… you need to sit down and cool down your prejudicial hatred for anyone who likes the Playstation console series and Sony in general……

I believe i read somewhere that you can transfer characters between the console and the pc. But i don’t remember the source :(. There is no true crossplatform servers yet though.
