Why won't they tell us what res and FPS this version will have then? Hope it's 1080p at 60FPS.

That 1% exists and thus make your PS4 look like crap.

Rigs are as good as you want them to be, both of mine make the PS4's tiny laptop parts cry

If it's not 1080p 60fps then it's pointless to say it like that. Of course the assets could rival a PC if you gimp the res and framerate

I'll wait and see the game running on PS4 before believing this PR stuff

Yeah, but an unreleased system is being compared to systems that are currently in use, that argument makes no sense since it makes an assumption none of those PC owners will be doing any upgrades anytime soon.

So much fail in one thread.

 

- SONY ONLINE guy praises SONY.  :roll:

 

- Makes some vague attack on PC's claiming that msot don't own a PC more powerful than a PS4.

 

How many times do we need to go through this?

 

According to Steam survey about 14% of PC gamers have rigs that match or surpass a PS4. That's about 10 million PC gamers. AND that's only on Steam, only last generation GPU's (the survey doesn't take the new ones into account), and ignores the fact that upgrading to modenr ahrdware was COMPLETELY unecessary for the past 4 years in roder to play 99% of games out there at better than console settings.

 

So:

 

- number of people with PS4's?  BIG FAT ZERO.

- Number of people wiht matching or better PC's:  over 10 milion RIGHT NOW.  Will almosty certainly grow.

- Length of time it took the last gen consoles to reach an install base of 10 million?  3 YEARS.

 

FACT:  MOST console gamers will be playing games at SUB 720p/terrible graphcis and performance becaus eMOST console gamers will stick to the current gen of consoles.

 

That whole gotcha is just so stupid, it makes you look like a 10 year old TC.

Planetside 2 is a fantastic looking game, especialy considering it's scale and with physx on. I'm curious to see how will PS4 handle it.

It's intentionally being made to look better just so this info could get out there. They knew people would assume it wasn't a tactical decision made by the developer for the purposes of promoting their new hardware. And based on the 'Hell yeah' responses here, it seems it's working out for them. But rest assured, it could look just as good on both platforms.

Since we're all fanboys here, each faction has a name.

Hermits = PC fanboys

Cows = PS fanboys

Lems = Xbox fanboys

Sheep = Ninty fanboys (though they're a rare sight)

Arent those PhysX effects exclusive to Nvidia GPUS? I doubt the PS4 will even have those effects.

To be honest, the PC version of Planetside 2 has some of the worst textures I've seen in a game released this decade. Some of the consoles seem to be made up of 40 or so polygons haha. It's quite hilarious, really. I should hope the PS4 can max it out!

Yeah, i'm not expecting it to use PhysX, but something similar. Most next gen games shown so far have good use of particle effects.

It is true that they can pump out the visuals. But what about the framerate or the resolution? Why call the PS4 the equivalent of a high-end rig if it can't even offer 60fps at a resolution that was standard in 2005? It's like saying, yeah this Ferrari looks just as nice as that Lambo! Only it has the performance of a Volvo.

What I find funny is that Planetside 2 is a heavy CPU dependent game... Regardless of it being a closed platform this game will more than likely be running at 1280x720 and 30FPS. Rival high end gaming PC's?... Excuse me but a high end PC plays this game at 2560x1440 at 60FPS. Playing this game on 1280x720 at 30FPS is not High end.

It's obvious a Sony dev would say this. :lol:

I'm curious to see how well this game runs with 100+ players running around on the screen at the same time, with bullets flying everywhere and vehicles and planes everywhere. I'll be surprised if the PS4 can hold a 15fps with all this activity. My laptop runs it just fine.

Why won't they tell us what res and FPS this version will have then? Hope it's 1080p at 60FPS.

mitu123

Why would you expect 60fps for PlanetSide 2?

It's probably 30fps.
