One of PS4's Launch Titles Finally Shows Up

Looks like Planetside 2 will finally show up on PS4 with the announcement of a closed beta starting Jan 20th

The Planetside 2 port (a F2P MMOFPS released on PC) was announced prior to the PS4 launch but continuously pushed back

So do you think it will finally deliver on PS4? And will it bring the promised high end visuals?

Not interested in Planetside 2 Lostrib

The game isn't fun on PC.

Can't imagine it gets better on a console.

Good

I think it was awesome. But i played with a guild. Solo, yeah, you end up running around looking fights alot. Still, haven't played in a long while.

Pretty much

I haven't played since it came out of beta

They aren't missing anything special, planetside 2 gets boring pretty quick.

This game died on PC like a year ago and it's still not out?

@melonfarmerz: just wait

I've heard not so pleasant things about the PC version, doubt I'll play it.

Must have died because it didn't provide the Console Experience™.

haha, planetside 2. man, i remember playing that way back when i had a phenom ii x4 840. which is 1, 2, 3 CPU's ago for me.

Planetside 2 is garbage, Sony shouldn't waste their time with it.

Another high quality title for cows to add to their ever growing list

LOL

@Aljosa23: uhhh...its their game. So it would be kind of shitty to just give up on it after all this time

It was never confirmed as a launch title. That was an assumption made by the community.

I actually really digged PS2 on PC.

Its weird that two beta games are coming out by SOE on the same week.

It was never confirmed, but it was very heavily implied for quite a while before the PS4 launch

Honestly I don't even remember this was talk as a launch PS4 title, much less announce.

its a pretty fun game if you can get into a good squad. playing solo gets pretty boring fast

My first thought was DriveClubz. Wrong again.

Can you already play online with the garbage that's in your sig?

LOL

Heard PSN was down again today

LOL

This is funny, because MCC scored 85, whilst PS2 scored 84... lulz.

This as well.

And to think, all the sites scored PS2 when the online was up and running.

So, Halo outscored it with a terrible online component... Shite, son... Suppaman better get some ointment.

Both those posts were hilarious, as both scored well.

LOL. More like, MCCs score was another gift-wrapped win to MS by the press. The scores started coming out for the game before the online component went live.

Anyways, the hate for Planetside in this thread is pretty funny... Looking for a fight? You could warp your character into conflict zones at any point or spawn yourself near vehicles if you wanted to go that route. You can literally see where heavy battles are happening by just going to the map. The game was pretty insane! Granted, I stopped playing it about 5 or 6 months ago finally. I had my fun. Some people are either making shit up or didn't know how to get to the map like ubernoobs.

Best get that tinfoil hat son. Any proof beyond mere speculation?

Look at the dates on the reviews. No tinfoil hat necissita.

nope.jpg

@lundy86_4: I don't know how many reviewers were there but they had a closed review event before the online was live so they didn't actually test the public online

I don't know what issues closed events had, and the repercussions on reviews. Unless you do...

Like I said above. The online was shite... Still, an MC of 85 is an MC of 85... That's where we're directed to these days for reviews.

@Krelian-co said:

Like I said above... So many people use Metacritic here, it's hard to determine if the "rules" even mean shit.

They gave the reviews before they knew the online was shit. They tested the online at a closed event, and then gave the reviews based on that. And if they updated the reviews the online went public, those aren't in MC

How many? All I asked for was proof. Do we know the intricate layout of the closed event? Was it played over a LAN type network, or online? Considering the lack of LAN options, this would be kinda devious. I've seen people post issues with LAN/system link online.

Well I don't think every reviewer disclosed it, but it's not an uncommon practice in general. Pretty sure the same thing happened with BF4.

"The mutliplayer portion of this review was tested at a Microsoft review event."

Ars: We weren't surprised to see all four games' multiplayer modes run smoothly enough in small, custom online sessions before the game launched to the masses

"The multiplayer component of this game was tested at a closed review event, due to the lack of availability of the full online experience before review. Having tested it out again in full, live conditions upon release, I have alas discovered major problems with the game's online connectivity"

Polygon (who later revised their score due to broken online): Halo: The Master Chief Collection was reviewed using a "retail" downloadable code provided by Microsoft. Additional impressions were based on a multiplayer event held by Microsoft on Nov. 4

Thanks lostrib. I won't touch that the scores were largely skewed by the online, because who the **** knows? Undoubtedly, it had an impact. Nice to see some review scores changed.

Im surprised how many people still play BF4 a year later on ps4. Maybe this game will find a strong base too, but I rather have a remastered Warhawk than another FPS.

Didn't enjoy it on PC, so I won't pay any mind to it on console.

Consoles always waiting for worse version of PC titles.

Bragging about a one point difference....seriously.

I wasn't. They both posted dumb responses, but I posted that PS2 got a point less at MC, which was kinda funny given the response. My point further riffed off of Shewgenja's post.

wasdie must be no.1 on mustards hit list, just keeps owning them hahahahahahaha

/thread

lostribs owned yet again

XB1 Has No Less Games.

Anyway, I'll give it a shot. It seems the delay was about adapting it correctly to a console environment so I might as well check what all the fuss was/is about.

@ghostwarrior786: you realize this thread was mainly on announcing the closed beta was coming after this game has been pushed back multiple times. Read the thread

@lostrib: you seem to be fascinated with PS4, well bashing ps4, I don't care I have a ps4 and xbox one. just wondering why all the hate?

I bash on both of them...or more commonly their fanboys

why not bash pc and their lack of interesting titles.

I hated my short time with that game. Enjoy, cows!

because it's not true...?
