Planetside 2 for Consoles

[Knocky]

This isn't 1990.

My PC is hooked up to my HDTV.

Broaden your view please. PC users are not confined to the back room staring at a 15" CRT monitor.

Just LOL! *calmdown*

Infact about 10 years of pc gaming, but nowadays I play both pc and console, but over the last few years my Pc games have gone lower and lower. I now have 4 pc games to 30ish Xbox games,

Pc: planetside, populous the beginning, red alert 3 and the sims 3

I use a mac mini 2011 with a 32in Sony tv in the spare room with a magic trackpad and keyboard ( mouse for ps1 )

LMAO don't stress be a pimp on a sofa with a glass of milk

Seriously, magpie, stop it... we know you're a console fanboy. Stop making these silly topics.

[EZShot]

Consoles aren't geared up for it. Can you imagine playing 1500 players on a P2P network? *shudders*

Can anyone say....lag?

Hard to believe this is a serious post.

My screen, at the distance I sit from it is bigger than my TV. Plus, the graphics are, often, better.

Plus: Keyboard and Mouse. Why would you want to play and FPS with a controller. You have fewer easy to reach buttons and it's imprecise as a crack whore's vag.
Additionally, you'd have to have separate servers for the console players because they'd just get trounced v PC players. It's not relative skill, simply the control scheme.

Given the choice I'll always play an FPS on PC. RPGs and Action games are another matter.

EDIT: Oh yeah, WE'VE DONE THIS THREAD, ALREADY, AGAIN. PSU even shows similar threads when you're creating one. Yet we've got multiple of the same thing every day. Bump the old shit so I know it's nothing new.

Also buying Skyrim on Xbox (above) is shocking to me. The mods on the nexus are aghast at your poor choice. Especially the body replacers.

Yeah my friend was so disgusted he spat out his beer.

Just come back from 2 years of backpacking, initial cash flow was a problem hah, buying a new PC and Skyrim while I owed various people lumps of cash didn't seem right to me. So I just blew the dust off my xbox and picked it up reduced on the net.

Back on topic, the points people make about fragmenting the playerbase are excellent. The console market and PC market are not completely separate, it's bound to affect overall pop to have two separate worlds.

It would be nice to see an uncompromised version on the consoles (and that's totally doable with some smart UI work) but the fact of the matter is the consoles could never handle the bandwidth load let alone the scale of this game.

They had to scale back the size of Battlefield 3 because they were using to much bandwidth at 32 players. Even with the brand new consoles coming out in the next few years there won't be enough bandwidth to handle this game. All of those unified online networks they have really limit what developers can do when they start hitting the extremes like Planetside 2 does.

I would love to see a version of this game on every platform possible as long as it can retain the core gameplay. Sadly that's just not possible.

put PS2 on console


but require they use a mouse and keyboard.

[Hmr85]

No!! When Ever they port a game over for a console they end up having to dumb down the PC version of the game to accommodate the Console players. So NO.

[TacosWLove]

FUCK NO!

I already have to deal with the fact Dust 514 is going to be on the PS3, so please dont even think about it for PS. kthxbai

Never seen so much hate for console lmao well your sure putting your foot down And telling the devs NO! Well ideal behind the console is good big screen sofa but the hardware is not up to the job
