Hmmm... I'm sure I could borrow a keyboard off a friend. I might try that if I buy the game.

I can see that, and I wasn't expecting them to do comparisons of like Pharos Sirus..But Sastasha doesn't take that long to unlock, and when considering that most of your time will be spent in dungeons, even that information would be nice to have.
I'm not even disagreeing or arguing with you. I am stating that like the 720p subject, its performance in enclosed dungeons/etc would also be good information to know regardless.

I don't think it was issue. Remember it's first time use a lot for this gen. AF was barely usage in last gen.
It's not true at all. It's barely used from some developers. But there are a good amount of games with AF on ps360.

If you mean bilinear and trilinear filtering of course.
No, I mean AF. GTA 5 seems to have a good AF on ps3 from what I see. Of course, we are not talking of incredible high AF (dynamic more of the times) but even Bioshock infinite seems enough good to me.

I don't think it have at all.
It's not trilinear or bilinear, if you mean that. I have in mind ND games, especially TLoU, there trilinear is quite apparent, On GTA 5 texture filter is tons times better.

I hope this analysis is from the final version of the game and not the first phases of the beta, because with DF you never know.

What issue? It says it is lower, not nonexistent like some other games. The issue you are talking about is when they don't use it at all like Thief and Strider.
They probably got confused and tested the PS3 version.

I can back that up. I actually have my PS4 running to my monitor right now in preference to the tv, so during beta, I was actually playing with pad on PS4, at my desk with monitor, while simulataneously using keyboard for chat/typing/map screen navigation. Worked like a charm. My kbm has one of those one dongle for both thingyies so I just stuck it in the PS4 which is in the opposite corner of the room and voila.
Yeah you're right - I was mistaken in thinking it was just greatly reduced in comparison to the XB1 and PC version for Thief and lumped them together.
It's still odd that they're not going full 16x.
NDs games use both bilinear and trilinear, depending on distance.

Frame rate is pretty much all over the place for me (ps4). Dungeons fare much better since it's a more closed env/lower player count.
If you want to play with a controller on PC, remember it's not the same as on ps4 since the touchpad acts exactly like a mouse would. You'll be missing that handy feature.

No the PC version used the controller and mouse at the same time.

It's not even two years old yet though, is it? I mean, I know version 1.0 launched in 2010, but didn't ARR launch last year?

So, do I ever actually have to speak with people or can it be just text chat in the game? I'm interested in playing it but don't want to have to talk to people or have dedicated parties.

did anybody run tests for the PS4 version comparing between 720p/1080p? any performance differences?
it's just text chat for 99% of the game. sometimes for the last 1% high end content people demand voice chat.

I'm just saying if you want to comfy couch game with a controller, you'll be missing the TouchPad functionality of the ps4 version. Or you could do the akward shit your taking about.

You don't have to chat I guess. But typing without a keyboard is horrendous.
I usually only play in a party with my friends list (voice chat), typing to randoms is pretty much terrible.
How would having a wireless mouse next to you be more awkward than a baby touch pad?
I switched 720p on in limsa when the fps was probably around 30. Didn't notice an increase at all. If that's accurate, it could mean that it's the processor that's limiting things rather than the gpu.

Lmao. You're fucking serious?
Taking your hands of the controller and mousing on the cushion next to you isn't akward? Opposed to a quick swipe of your thumb.
Haha wow I just scrolled to the end of this thread and was about to post this exact question till I saw your post.
Game after game is showing significant AF downgrades on PS4 and I'm also curious as to why that is.

Regarding performance in FATEs (public battles with large player groups), you can disable or limit the spell effects of other players to improve performance.
Would have been nice if DF had tested this setting to see how much of a difference full versus limited versus disabled makes.

hardware wise it makes no sense. that is one area where having better ram would help.
I am guessing it is with their implementation of opengl?

I use the DS4 for every controller based game on PC, Dark souls, Brothers tale of two sons, Castlevania etc. Yes you can use it for this game too.
the touch pad really doesn't work well as a mouse pointer though.
I would suggest one of these if you need mouse functionality.. I believe the ps4 can use it.. pretty sure the ps3 can.

nice to hear it got no screen tearing.
Or you could just use the PS4 controller on the PC and use the touchpad.
Most of the content is recycled from 1.0, actually. I was an original XIV player and a lot of the stuff they've 'added' - Good King Moggle Mog, for example - is just recycled content rebranded as new.
So no, they haven't added that much. And still have a ways to go. I'm also not a fan of this "give a game years and it will have plenty of content." Well, yes, reason would dictate that is the case with MMORPGs. But they should start out of the gate with much more than they do, not fly by the logic that 'we'll make the real game over time'. All themepark MMORPGs are guilty of this, really. That's why we need more with user-generated or randomly-generated variables. Takes a great deal of strain off the devs too. If someone figures out a proper way to do that sort of content one day, that is. EQN might be that game, but we'll have to wait and see.
Until then, XIV is a blast, but if you're even a moderate player (1-3 hours/ per night) you could get bored fast. The instance grind and endgame really is a special kind of tedious too.

That's my experience with the game as well. It drops even when there's nothing going on. Not that it really bothers me tho. I'm having an effin' blast with the game.

Meh, seems like they just straight ported the PC version, which is good looking for an MMO I suppose but that's about it.

Wait, every console game has 16x AF except the PS4? Do you have a list of games and the way the AF level was derived?

I tried the PS4 version and couldn't play. I'm spoiled by 120fps on a 120Hz monitor. It felt SO choppy.

Keyboards are £1 from Asda. I assume they are similarly priced in the US at Walmart.
