Threads like these are the perfect example on why I love PC gaming, but just can't stand the community...

Planetside 2 graphics on PS4 equivalent to 'Ultra' settings on PC

Truth.
ND is in fact absolutely amazing at what they do, but lets not cloud are judgment based on some fanboy mentality which discredit other great developers.
Dota 2 and Path of Exile say hi. The game would have been much better it was sold at full price. You pay sub and use double exp and barely progress.

i'd think that after about a year they may have improved the code to make ultra settings run better, but personally if the game was 1080p ultra at 30fps I would still love it.
A solid non dropping 30 mind you.

Maybe I'll actually get to play it when it comes out on PS4. I tried it on Steam, but for some reason it forces me to the US registration, and a UK registration does not work with the .exe. It's pretty fucked up. Support told me the way round it is not to use Steam for the download. I found it simpler to not play it at all.

No, it's not. What was silly (to put it mildly) was posting that answer to a developer who was just making a statement about hardware power in an interview.
"I'M SO OFFENDED THAT YOU STATE THE PS4 CPU ISN'T SUPER POWERFUL. YOU ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH, YOU LAZY DEV! COME BACK WHEN YOU WILL BE THE 5% OF WHAT MY BELOVED NAUGHTY GODS ARE!".
And you actually seem to think people shouldn't mock him for it.
He's also the "Steam didn't have good sales in years" and "Valve never had any amount of QA in their games. I wonder if they even test them" guy.
As I said in another thread, for a new user he's trying quite hard to be noticed.

I'd swear I was getting higher framerates prior to their optimization patch, and that was with physx on. I was hovering around 90fps when spawning, now it's like 56-57... Any time I get into a firefight the stuff goes to low 40's making the mouse control incredibly jerky. Performance is the reason why I quit this game and reason why I won't come back to it either.
It will be quite a feat if they make it work alright on console.
I never said that.
You said a few posts ago it's arguable, which implies it may or may not be true. Now it's not silly to laugh at it like it's nothing but false?

I'm sure it will, the question is at what resolution and framerate.
Now just give us a date...
I love this game on PC, even if it runs like crap on my laptop, so I can't wait to play this in it's full glory. And I actually like playing without a squad, the game tells you where big battles are so it's pretty easy to get in to one of those points and help your faction.

I remember my first full scale night battle. It was a thing of beauty. Granted I do all my gaming on my tv screen. It would be nice to clear space on the pc hdd
my little brother has succumb to this newer "master race" mentality and its quite sad. It's made him really annoying too since he only talks about resolution and fps and uses them as points against consoles. As if its something new that this generation has been faced with.

technically some of the optimizations are simplifying the graphical capabilities of the game

Reading this thread, it's almost like console games have never been 30fps, or below 1080p. I'll be disappointed with the later, but the former is a given, and people expecting more need a reality check.
Bu-bu-but dem 2000 players?
Not sure it's even relevant. MAG had over a hundred players on the fucking PS3 guys, with half a Gb of ram...Sure it looked ugly, and played like shite, but I don't think player count is a main issue.

I'm certainly not, if it were up to me everyone would have exactly the same games with perfect graphics and performance, and we could all be happy.
I just saw some bullshit and thought I'd have a bit of fun while I drank my coffee.
I dont think its really comparable to console wars threads. PC community is far, far more objective and calm than console ones.
Still, i dont know what wrong with a topic, running PS2 on Ultra on PS4 in 30hz should be definitely possible, the better question is how framerate will hold-up in big battles.

Making it run better on less capable pc 's too.
You mean there is a master race inside the master race ?
How cute.
A classic post.
No fun allowed for consoles.
I dont particularly care as long as the base gameplay isnt effected
Has it changed that much? My 480 GTX couldn't get close on ultra at 1080p in the beta, 2500K (OC @ 4.5) to compliment.
I'm really looking forward to the PS4 release.
It's more about the number of people on a server. Which is why the game is more CPU intensive. Imagine what BF4 or COD would look like with hundreds of players on a server...
the PS4 GPU is more than capable of running planetside 2 at atleast a similar clip to a 7850, which can just about push ultra settings at 60FPS. it's the CPU which has always been the issue in this port and to maintain that framerate on PC you still need something like a 2nd gen i5.
dicing up this game for eight low power cores is no joke and i was sceptical whether they could ever make it happen. if they can infact push the full 1080p/60fps/ultra experience then that's a crazy achievement which will say much more about the PS4's potential than any of the launch titles.

I think it's reasonable to adopt a wait and see approach with claims like these. After all, we have an example of broken promises already:
According to people who've played Blacklight on PS4, not only does the game look worse than PC but also the frame rate is really bad.

are people really that upset? I think people are more hella cynical these days with a bit how underwhelming next gen gaming is feeling especially after e3 where pretty much everyone and their mom was promising 1080p 60fps.
This quote is even funnier considering Planetside 2 is a Sony developed game thus it's not unlikely that ND devs has been involved in some form.

Seems some more noses are being put out of joint by the ps4, Not too shabby for a console that costs a measly £350 or if wanna get nitpicky £300 as the controller is worth £50.
On topic, Scaling back too 720p/900p would seem the viable option for them to succeed with the ultra settings, But then it would be awesome just for the outcry if it was 1080p.
BUT cant help escape the another shooter factor for the ps4, After B4/KZ/Warframe im pretty burned out already with shooters.

We were both referring to a previous thread about Slightly Mad and Project Cars, though.

Will reserve judgement until more details come out. It doesn't say anything about the resolution/framerate.
It will be interesting to see how it serves, though. It's give a direct comparison between the PS4 and PC while running an initially PC optimized game.

Because it's a grindy F2P game? It should get as much thread space as shitty mobile and social games. The only reason this game even gets discussed is so console and PC warriors can fight over yet another thing.

And PC GAF continues to embarrass themselves.
I played the game for 1 year in a 400people strong outfit and it was the best time I ever had with gaming. We made hundreds of CERTs every night and we had amazing moments and fights.
Honestly, everyone can have their opinion,but I am pretty much laughing at your post right now.

Mee too. We have so many experts of this game on the board, at least looks like that reading this topic.
But they choose to talk of this game only when news of the ps4 port come out.
So strange.
Then you're perfectly qualified to generate interests by making a LTTP thread. I'll even do you the favor and not post in it about the assy F2Pness of the game. ;-)
PlanetSide 2's graphical settings includes an option called "Overall Quality" which are presets for the more advanced settings. The PS4's settings are allegedly equivalent to the Ultra preset.
Nah,i'm more of a lurker on GAF.

I would agree with you but if you really want to look at it that way. Historically, consoles have always been underwhelming. Not sure what the surprise is or the agonizing factor is for the "newer" master race people. I don't recall people being remotely this cynical in regards to consoles from the PC crowd when last gen started. Granted I spent most of my time playing cod 1 and 2
Why would pc gamers be salty? They've been playing this for almost 2 years now on Ultra high settings.

Actually, there were a massive beta thread, a community thread and several other threads about any major update.
But fine, keep being in denial for the sake of comedic effect and team scoring, if that's how you want to play it.
Yes, I am.
I have no obligation of loyalty toward any specific brand and I would challenge you to find a single post proving otherwise.
Why? because we don't eat PR bs like most of people? because we can remain sceptical and not get hyped for nothing? because we are more familiar with what a CPU and GPU can and can't do?
