Force PS3 players to migrate over to PS4 and then drop support for it

[KonaMochi]

Unless OP plans on buying brand new PS4s for all the PS3 players, I suggest they keep his/her Q Qing to themselves.

I got 99 things to get this year, and a ps4 within it's first year of release aint a one.
(Namely, a new wacom tablet. Hopefully a intros4/5 or cintuq 13 HD <3)

Also, if you're having issues with the ps3- connect with a ethernet. Fixes nearly everything. I certainly haven't had any problems with it.

Besides- who the heck is foolish enough to buy a console within the 1st year of life?
Did we learn nothing from the ps3/360 launch?

Been there and I'm not doing it again. I'm a PC gamer and I intended to buy a PS3 for FFXIII when it was launched. However, I bought it very early to play blu-rays and a few games that were later released on PC anyways; SFIV and DMC4. Funny thing happen when I was playing FFXIII on the last chapter, the blu-ray player broke .

I did end up finishing FFXIII later; when I broke down and bought another PS3.

I intend to buy a PS4 for FFXV, however I'm going to wait for a few revisions before buying one this time.

OP - thanks for reminding me why I don't bother getting on the forums anymore.....

It amazes me that people think this way---- sickens me.

I think it is worth noting that the OP has yet to make another post in this thread, going on 4 days and 24 pages. I believe their intent was to make an inflammatory comment just to get under the skin of people and most likely doesn't even believe what they said.

Edit: For those of you who don't think the PS3 version will hold back FF14, check out this trailer of FF11's December 2013 updates:

Move faster than previously imagined!!!!!! It seriously looks like an N64 game, and it's 2013. Sigh.

Good thing game quality has nothing to do with how shiny it looks. If you want pretty things to look at they do make these things called movies.

Far as your original argument I don't play on the PS at all so /shrug if they are happy playing on it and can do the content more power to them. If they can't then they can upgrade/swap to computer/or sit out on content.

The PS3 has 256MB of memory. Unless 2GB magically became less than 256MB, it's not the PC that's holding things back.

actually you're wrong, you're not taking certain things into account, unlike the PS3 the PC also has windows(each driver set and any software takes memory to run on top of the minimum of the OS) to deal with otherwise minimum for PC would likely be 256MB as well

the PS3 isnt holding back anything, they have more restrictions in their settings and IU, they are limited to 30FPS(and arent they also limited to 1280x720?) which is actually better than quite a lot of the PCs currently running this game

It took me about two seconds to bring up my Windows Task Manager. Apparently I have 90 processes running at the moment, one of which being FFXIV. My physical memory usage is at a stable 45% out of 8GB of RAM. The minimum requirement for the operating systems that new PCs come out with is 2GB (if 64 bit, 1GB if 32-bit), though the OS doesn't typically use all of that RAM at any one point in time. 256MB is such an infinitesimally small number these days that it can't help but limit what can be done with the game. And I'm not just talking about graphics - I'm talking about even such things as basic UI features. So much of the horribly clunky UI functions (e.g. the bag, the hideous party UI, the menus within menus within menus) in XIV are because the PS3 version is already very much near its limit.

I'm not sure I'm explaining things well. Suffice to say, it's the 256MB that's the problem, not the 2+GB in PCs.

Oh omniwaink, you so crazy!

People who can't afford a PS4 should be focusing on improving their financial situation instead of playing games all the time anyway.

It's hard to justify buying a ps4 for 1 game all cause some anally ravaged people are bitching and moaning. I haven't touched my Ps4 since the first week of December.
