Man, the more you post the more you make it clear that you've never touched Planetside 2 or even know what it is and why it runs the way it does, what challenges that shit poses to devs who want to squeeze it onto the PS4. I don't disagree with what you believe the target for most games should be but Planetside 2 isn't most games, Planetside 2 is a competitive FPS packing a thousand or more players across a massive map with absolutely balls out fucking hectic battles. As someone who's played on and off over the years the fact that they can even hit a reliable framerate on the PS4 is something to be commended. If that's actually the case.
I'm more than fine calling 30fps 'smooth' if it's stable. It's not really 'standards dropping' when you consider what the game itself brings to the table.
lol "smooth"
From Soony to Smoothy
Would rather this game be 720p with 60 fps. Give us an option like dc univerese where you can lock framerate?
Framerate and resolution don't usually scale linearly like that.
All devs run bechmarks. Are you saying soe is incompetent?How exactly do they test how smoothly it runs on PS4? Do they have 100 or so people going at it in a Biolab? Do they have enough people to test out the kind of situations people are likely to encounter like that?

I know I'm just saying I would rather have a lower resolution and higher framerate...
Have you read any of the tech presentations from GDC? Many of them said they were surprised at how much they could actually get out of the CPU. I'd imagine it's an issue for this game but it's sufficient for what most devs are aiming to do. Far from a major bottleneck.not with that CPU, it doesn't.
for all the caterwauling about GPU teraflops and GDDR5, people are overlooking what the real bottleneck is going to be this generation.
Before their games looked like shit and now they dont. Not only that they have donr a great job with the optimizations on ps2Have you seen their overall track record?
I love ps2 but seriously they do not have the best history outside of EQ and even that is shaken cause of eq2s early days.
The developer isn't going to say the frame rates is anything other than smooth.
This is common sense. He's trying to sell the game to you. He's not to say the frame rate of this game is utter crap. We've been through this song and dance hundreds of times. You do not take a developers word on the technical performance of a game.

My personal next vicious after Warframe.
Lol wat
It will probably run unlocked, capped at 60.They should tweak it down so it runs at 60fps.
Sounds good to me!
Here are a few videos that have been helping me maintain my hype.

Is going to be a free to play thing, or regular retail?

Wow, that 3rd video is ace. Really upped my hype for this on PS4! Thanks for sharing.
I'm really addicted to Warframe... playing over 5 hours every night (I didn't touched Child of Light yet since I bought it because Warframe) but when Planetside 2 releases I will move to it.... I can feel that already.
Resolution isn't the thing that's going to be the challenge for this game.Ugh, would rather prefer a lower resolution and 60fps.

A lot of folks here should try Planetside 2 again on the PC. They made the game run much, much better after an extensive optimization patch at the end of last year. I have a Radeon 7870 and an i5-3570K and get like 100 FPS on average, on the ultra settings, even during large fights.
Its going to be a free to play thing. Which is not bad in this case; Planetside 2 has one of the best models for it, the only game Ive seen better would be Path of Exile where things that are sold are cosmetic-only.
In Planetside 2, weapons for infantry and vehicles are sold, but not the upgrades (like reinforced side armor for tanks, extended magazines for guns, et ceterathose need to be earned). All the weapons are sidegrades anyways, each one sort of having a slightly different flavor or being able to flourish at one role, like CQC or medium range support.
The other things they sell are cosmetics like camos and helmets and vehicle trims. A fair amount of the stuff is now player-made, which is pretty neat. I like it. Oh and theres also the subscription which nets you a bunch of benefits but its really not required. Good value, in my opinion, now that its All Access and will work for all SOE games like Everquest Next.
Sorry, I better stop now, starting to sound like a spokesperson.
this is why I don't understand people saying how crappy the performance is. Every time I've played it, my fps hasn't moved from 60fps even during large battles with settings on 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.
Not gonna happen. Doesnt run at 60 fps even on a top of the line pc
Even if it is capped at 30, I don't see that as a big deal at all for this game. PS2 isn't a twitch shooter, it is pretty slow when compared to CoD or even BF.
