Planetside 2 and the Playstation 4 - Page 3

I don't think that the XBox is viable with their various restrictions on content. The same reason CCP decided to put DUST on Playstation Only.

Let's also not forget that the Xbox360's graphics - compared to other platforms - suck.

Let's also not forget that when we moved over from PS2 and XBOX, we were like "ZOMG! TEH GRAFIX R AMEZINGGG! *drool*" Ain't it a funny world?

Sounds like something a pre-pubescent kid would say tbh. I have a PC, as does everyone else here, why would we say that?

The lack of anti aliasing support on the consoles always turned me off of their graphics. It wasn't even so much that the jagged lines ruined the look, it was that the way the jagged lines tend to visually shimmer and buzz in a distracting way that bothered me.

Well, now with DirectX 11 we also have Tessellation, which is amazing to say the least. I'm not sure how many of you have a directx 11 capable computer, but I recently upgraded my rig and ran some of the benchmarks on the nVidia website, and it makes a huge difference.

Also, OnLive might be heading to consoles, therefore PS2 might be heading to consoles through OnLive.

I thought OnLive was a console? Or that it had a little box they called a console. I think its kind of stretching it to think PS2 is going to be on OnLive let alone that Sony or MS is going to let it run on their machines through that service.

Anyway anyone that doesn't have a PC that can run PS2 should just be setting aside say 10 dollars a week. By the time PS2 is out you will be able to afford a machine that will run it. Better than hoping that it will in some way make it to consoles.

seriously, where do you live man?

Why do we even have this debate? Current consoles have nowere close to enough power to run any open game like PS (if you don't own a console, but played any "open world" ported game, you will notice the loading screens every 2 minutes, those are there for a reason).
Talking about future consoles is nonsence; by the time they come out PS2 will be old news, nobody will want to play and old game on their shiny new console. Finally, if by some fluke it ever was ported to a console, how do you figure the devs could possibly balance the "controller vs mouse" problem? Giving the console players aimbots? Yea, that sure is a good was to make all PC gamers angry and in turn lose out on long term profit for a big boost of short term one.

The only way to get PS2 on a console is two fold.
1) Wait for the next revision. Probably PS4, it'll be out while PlanetSide2 is still relevant.
2) Tell console gamers to suck it up and buy a kb+m or enjoy getting farmed.

The former is obvious. The latter is a bitter pill that would lead to poor reviews and sales.

Two words: Guitar Hero

If people are willing to pay extra for a game that must be played with a fake guitar or motion sensing device or fake rifle, it's not much of a stretch to get them to use a keyboard/mouse, especially they are wireless and will work with a PC (or BT mobile device). The hardest part is, like another poster said, is dealing with livingroom ergonomics. However, I learned to play Starcraft back in the 90s by sitting on my friend's couch using his pc that was on his coffee table infront of his couch. It wasn't too bad.

Hey, if you want to spot me a couple hundred bucks, I'll be happy to take it. Not everyone can afford a big upgrade every few months.

OK so yeah, I'm a little bitter because I have a GTX260. So close, and yet so far.
