I keep thinking about the whole PS3 thing, are they really going to base the game around a system that will be seven years old and probably that same year at E3 will be shown the PS4? Sony has pretty much dumped the idea of backwards compatibility before and I doubt they will even entertain the idea for the next gen system. So yeah, it doesn't seem like a good line of thinking on their part for putting out an MMO at the end of the life cycle of a system. :confused:

There hasnt been any game out that fully used a PS3`s potential(MGS4/FF13 kinda come close), who knows what it can do. :P

10-16-2011, 04:50 AMEunysNot really the point. Not bashing PS3 or making this a OMG PS3 holds PC players back. Just wondering since they aren't even planing this game for release till 2013, I'd hope they are in the works of planing a head for PS4 it would make little sense to release 2.0 for PS3 if people six months later move on to PS4.Quote:

In 2014 when players ask why a certain feature or mechanic can't be changed and SE responds by telling us, "PS3 limitations" the circle will be complete and I will probably suffocate from uncontrollable laughter while choking on the delicious irony.

10-16-2011, 05:07 AMJennestiaThe only limitation the PS3 has is in it's memory setup, a lot of developers complained about it, but it's not a stopping block versus the PS2 which was already limited in hardware specs given it's release (2000/2001.)Quote:

NES > SNES > N64 > Gamecube/Wii were obvious technology upgrades, PSX > PS2 > PS3 again were obvious, there's really nothing the PS4 can offer that is such a huge leap forward the PS3 will fade out of existence on it's release. -

I'm hoping they have it planned for the next gen as well. I mean, that's what I would do.

10-16-2011, 05:53 AMLiminalitySony has stated that it doesn't plan on a release of a new Playstation system until 2015-2016. Even then, the "PS4" would have backwards compatibility (FFXI was playable on the PS3). In no way are they really going to limit the PC version because of the PS3. Trying to compare the limitations of the PS3 and the PS2 is incomparable.Quote:

Sony already announced and is releasing the PS4 later this year in Japan.
It's called the PSVita. -

Aslong as the PS4 (when it does come out) uses a Cell processor there is no reason at all the PS3 wouldnt be backwards compatible, and seeing as they are developing new more powerfull Cell's they most likely will use it.
Also the PS2 limited FFXI so much due to its pathetic RAM size, I think it was 32MB + the fact Sony only allowed 8GB partitions.
The PS3 has 512MB RAM & 80-500GB harddrives so its no where near as limiting, like the other poster said IF a new console does come out there really isn't much improvement to be had over the PS3 besides barely unnoticable improved graphics or 3D support.
