i'm fine with 30fps if thats what they mean, as long as it is smooth. I just can't wait to try this game on PS4 
they already mentioned before that was pushed to Q2 - Q3 at max

The developer also stated that Planetside 2 on Playstation 4 is like its running on PC at Ultra Setting.
If this game only runs at 30fps this is simply not true.

I'm sure there are plenty of people running at 30fps on PC.

Good news - as expected.
you do know performance and graphical settings arn't the same thing right?
i can tell you right now if i cranked up the graphical setting on PS2 on my laptop i'd be getting a framerate between 2 and 5 FPS. lol

Where is the most important detail? THE RELEASE WINDOW!?!?!
This was supposed to be out months ago!
Give me a timeframe damn you!

Key word here seems to be "like" its running at ultra. Pretty sure someone posted that there was a previous claim that it would be "better" than that, which seems unlikely when comparing even systems better speced than the ps4. When they say "smooth" frame rate, as long as its stable and in the 50s it should be fine. This game certainly benefits from high fps when the action kicks off

I jusr hope the performance level is maintained when the game's action gets heavy and chaotic.
It's not like that anymore though, right? They released several significant performance and optimisation focused patches that in my experience significantly improved the performance. Although the game on Ultra now looks noticeably worse than it did when the game first came out.
I strongly doubt that "smooth framerate" is referring to ~60fps.

The news here is that it'll be at E3 in playable form. 1080p and "ultra" is old info.

Well even the beefiest PC cant run PS2 on high 60fps at the Crown.
An MMO will never be locked. It will always dip under heavy action
60 fps is almost always preferred, but I would understand if it wasn't in PS2.
Planetside's always been a logistics game over a twitch shooter. Maybe they do the new thing this gen and give us options in graphics department.
It's one of those "you gotta have a group, preferably friends" game. Nothing like rolling up on a siege in a maglev with 40 other heavy vehicles and flying vehicles.

I heard them say looks like ultra before,but not 1080p.Good news.
Good hype trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMabY_PXDI4
An MMO that is hitting 40-50fps but gets locked down to 30fps is guaranteed to always dip under heavy action?

Can we transfer our progress from pc to ps4?

How are people getting 60fps from smooth framerate?
It could possible mean it just runs at a smooth, constant framerate which could be 30fps.
I doubt it will be 60fps.

It IS not meh, you found it to be meh... big difference.
Anyway, try to get into a active outfit. It changes up the whole game.
PS2 is one of the best games of all time in my book

Edit: In context the smooth comment was offhanded. It was just used to show that the game was coming along. Right now they're optimizing it so I wouldn't expect it to run perfectly 60 yet. I imagine this will be unlocked but better that ISS and KZSF because of the lower graphics, particles, and effects,
All he said was that they had showed it off to the Cally branch of Sony, that it was in a full playable form, that they are on the UI perfection/ Optimization stage, and that players would get their first chance to play it at E3 and MLG. I also felt that he may have possibly implied a Beta of some type.

OOT ran at 20fps. I wouldn't call that smooth. Anything 30fs and above will be smooth enough for me

Yeah, because everything has been 60 FPS lately.
Smooth as in that it should not have too many frame drops.
Well I couldn't maintain 60 with a 7970 in Ultra , so the PS4 has no chance.
The games not a twitch shooter anyway , 30fps would be fine.
Agreed , at it's best there is very little that comes close in terms of scale and epic moments.

That's exactly what i said. Back in the N64/PS1 days games struggled to run at 30fps and many were at 20s. So 30fps was considered smooth.OOT ran at 20fps. I wouldn't call that smooth. Anything 30fs and above will be smooth enough for me
Just because the standards have dropped since the PS2/GC/XBOX generation it doesn't mean i will forget all the 60fps games and claim 30fps is smooth. Its just, "OK".
Can you tell me what specs you're running on PC to be able to play Planetside 2 at 1080p 60fps?

At least it is better than the days when Crysis was released on PC...

Hmm... seems you're right. Used the ol' Google machine and came up with zilch. Good to know
Nice trailer. This, along with H1Z1 and EVE: Valkyrie will own my life.
You'd be able to force it down below 30fps with enough on screen.

30fps locked would be fine for me, on PC I still go from 129fps at times down to 34fps lol.
I'll get it on PS4 to play with some gaffers (I'm playing TR Cobalt and it is a pain) but I hope we can transfer everything we bought on console.
