here's to hoping that, even though unlikely, we get to play on the same servers as the console jockeys!

Thing is, if ps4 is going to truly BE nextgen then they have to make this work on one kind of server. SMED LISTEN UP, this game doesnt need to be split between console and pc. This game needs to include console players with pc players. Do this right the first time for once.

This, please. For the sake of the most rabid and self-righteous fan base since the original Star Trek. Keep us together.

lol if you think the PS2 fans are rabid and self-righteous....

But, yes, sir. And all sirs. I would very much enjoy PS2 having integrated servers.

I'm not at all worried about the PS4's hardware holding PlanetSide 2 back. The game has good enough visuals as it is; the real beauty is behind how the developers use the tools they have. Currently, I don't think they are using it very well... no enter/exit animations, animation bug introduced in GU09 not fixed, vanu soliders look like turds...

here's to max 400 players or something ridiculous

Why do people want cross play? Every (first person shooter) game thats done that goes south after console people get sick of getting wrecked by PC players. Or do you want to give consoles auto aim-assist to help them stay competitive?

Would seem like a lot of work to provide for the few PS4 players with keyboard and mouse.

Seriously. See how many PC players bloody quit the game after not knowing wtf was going on. Now imagine that but getting killed a hundred times more.

people are so 1337, they want to pwn console n00bz no matter what. What just proves another that cross-platform thingy is not gonna happen.

It's not about farming consoleers. It's about having more people to shoot at.

Well I don't speak for you, now do I? For me, it is about more people. My game won't change much on the individual skill level since I'm invariably in a vehicle of some sort.

It's because console gamers are all "Omg, gamepads are why PC sucks" and us PC gamers get to shoot their faces off for not putting effort into getting good with a mouse.

Want to get good at this game? Buy a mouse and keyboard for cheap (Or better yet, you PS4 makers should provide them with the gamepads) and learn to use them. Put in effort to beat us if it bothers you that much. Don't expect every damn game to hand hold you.

That or, you know, make gamepads have better aim without resorting to auto aim.

But that won't happen. And because it won't happen, it will prove that console gamers don't want to learn how to use a mouse and keyboard and don't care about getting good. Only about easy gameplay.

Having said that, gameplay should be easy-ish. So... It's a bit of a catch 22 situation. The only real solution here is making a gamepad that aims better. Until that happens or untill console gamers start using keyboard and mouse (yea. Riiiiiight), servers won't cross over.

Its about more people. And the opportunity to say something like this ..."So youve been farmed at Allatum because of your gamepad. Buy the super hi tek elite Planetside 2 mouse and keyboard and get competitive. Get it now on sale for 69.96"

Maidere · 2013-06-10, 08:02 AM

People who say it's not about farming consollerz are even less reasonable. No way you can balance controller vs K+M. And making a console f2p game for K+m only doesnt make any sense.

"So youve been farmed at Allatum because of your gamepad. Buy the super hi tek elite Planetside 2 mouse and keyboard and get competitive. Get it now on sale for 69.96"

Yeah, nice idea, 99% of all console users will leave within a week. Just imagine for a moment that PC version of PS2 will demand a gamepad for an acceptable expirence.
