PlanetSide 2 Interview: Free to Play on PS4, Differences from PC Version and New Content

GB: "PlanetSide 2 is one of those games that despite a long development cycle didn't immediately sink when it released. After undergoing a number of changes, including switching over to the free to play model, the game managed to do remarkably well on PC."

i really cant wait for this game on ps4, i watched troll army play this, looks incredible.

I've been playing this on my gaming PC and it really is beautiful with huge open worlds and great battles. I love the concept that you always fighting for control and it's an ongoing conflict. Looks and plays great on my rig HD7750 1gig GDDR5 with AMD quad core 3.7ghz and 8 gig DDR3. I can't imagine what this is going to be like on the might PS4 hardware. Should be awesome.

I've messed around with it some, but i get major cpu bottlenecking that seems to be related to very poor optimization...

My PC currently only has an A10 6800k apu...so basically a decent 4.4ghz quad core cpu, and a 6000 series gpu...and 8gb of 2133mhz ram...the auto settings were mixed between medium and high...and in the warp gate and everything, it was butter smooth at 59fps...

but...nearly ANY time you get into a good battle, which this game is known for, its a nightmare...doesn't matter what setting the graphics are on, i dip in to the teens frame rate wise...and its just not playable...even worse, when i see this happening, and keep my core usage log running...PS2 will regularly max out a single core, hang another one around 15%, and not even touch the other 2...It scales a little differently for different cpu's, so not everyone has as drastic of problems...but its very clearly a hit and miss depending on your hardware...

so i'm very interested to see how this goes on the PS4...PS2 is highly regarded as the most cpu intensive modern game out there, even more than bf4 (with much worse cpu optimization at the same time)...While the PS4's cpu is not exactly powerful, it also doesn't have to run windows in the background during a game...i'd like to see how far they go with optimization, and hope they work out the PC issues sooner rather than later...

7750 is more or less the xbox one gpu.

@ Kleptic, i think the game isn't multi threaded enough. But as work continues on the PS4 version it should really help PC players.

I love playing this game on the PC even though I can only run it on medium lol.

Massive game and a lot of content :)

Soon you would be playing it on high details on your ps4 sir =)

MidnytRain4632d ago

When they say "high end," do they mean "high settings"?

user74029314632d ago

“With the PS4 hardware, we can offer amazing graphics that rival a high end gaming PC without compromising the gameplay or social structures.''

Ps4 is a beast of a console. No one can touch it!!

Enemy4632d ago

I can touch it. I'll be touching it a lot.

higgins784632d ago

He says, after playing NOTHING on it to date. PS4 looks great on paper, if you believe a console is at its best when trying to mimic high-end PC's, however, lets see if all the talk and propaganda translates into games which justify the jump in technology.

Enemy4632d ago

You must be new to gaming. Sony winning every generation is nothing to speculate. It happens. Every. Single. Gen.

SonyNGP4632d ago

@Enemy

Winning based on sales? Then the Wii kicked the ever living hell out of the PS3. Fact.

Enemy4632d ago (Edited 4632d ago )

Who said anything about sales? If owning a console is about the games, then obviously I must be speaking about the games.

Who had the most GOTY winners? Who had the best games?

Do you play sales? People don't realize how ridiculously stupid they look when they use that word in an argument.

They sold the entire company. I did like when they ran Everquest as well. But numbers were declining unfortunately

-Foxtrot818d ago

Watch it turn out to be Amazon in disguise

Duke19817d ago

Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
