Gutted about the lacklustre quality of the PS4 beta

[Lumidus]

The point of the PS4 version is to upgrade from the PS3. And It clearly does so. Ps4 version can be comparable to the PC version. But it all depends on the PC hardware.

Why I play on PS3 and will on PS4... As a sysadmin I deal with computers most every day. So when I get home or on the weekends I DON'T want to deal with:

a) Windows issues(updates and other crap) at home(all my machines at home are Linux based), anti virus, licensing etc...
b) Driver updates
c) Hardware issues beyond plug and play
d) BS DRM tech that companies include in their PC games

So I come home, go for a walk, eat lunch, power up my playstation and play. No dealing with this needs updating, that needs fixing, antivirus, etc... etc... etc... crap. And yes I can build my own PC and manage it and update and all that crap... but I do that at work. I'll enjoy my free time the way I want to and those of the PC master race variety can enjoy their free time the way they want. So yeah really tired of the whole "This is the only way to do it everything else is crap etc..."

I am in a similar situation, although I do still enjoy games on my PC.

However I wouldn't consider dropping my PS3/PS4 to go completely PC simply because there is too much good stuff on consoles that won't see the light of day on a PC. Last of Us, Uncharted and Beyond Two Souls are all games I loved in the last gen and whilst good games appear on consoles, I'll keep console gaming as well.

There do seem to be a lot of people who consider themselves of the "PC Master Race" who seem very anti-PS4 and I just put it down to all the other fanboi fights I've seen in my life from the C64 vs. Spectrum days, through to the Amiga vs Atari ST, Megadrive vs Super Nintendo and even these days with Playstation (insert version 1-4 here) and the various flavours of XBOX.

Some people really don't like that others can enjoy something different.

At the end of the day, my PS4 is looking great playing this and I'm not seeing a disadvantage to having this version. It's the same game at the end of the day...

I like using mouse/keyboard but the ps4 doesn't have a way to improve mouse cursor speed from what I can tell. Cursor lag on the ps4 version is frustrating me... Thank god for hotkeys!

Speaking of M/Kb support for PS4. Can you use mouse buttons aside from Left click/Right Click and Middle Click? Like the Razer Naga buttons?

Do you need to install drivers to use those buttons? If yes, it won't work, don't even bother trying. If not...it might work, it's worth trying.

Remember the PC version is THREE YEARS old. Three YEARS. The PS4 version is not even one year old yet (since the start of development). Why should it not be on par with the PC version, if not surpass it?

First off, the PC version's graphics engine is newer than 3 years since they scrapped the old one and are using a new one. Second, a 3 year old PC is still better than the PS4. Also, you mention why would anyone buy the PS4 version? That question would also apply to the PS3 version. It look atrocious compared to the PS4 and PC versions, yet still has hundreds of thousands playing on it. People don't play a console for the best graphics, they play console for the ease of use. PS4 version will sell just fine.

Frame rate: acceptable : did fates with multiple PCs and NPCs no notice of fps drop
Graphics: acceptable: AA seems to be off or very low: shadow quality med: i expect these will be turned up in further phases
vs PC: equal to PC on graphic settings desktop standard
able to play on large TV: awesome

overall:highly acceptable

I wish console games, specially these, would allow us to adjust the settings at least a little. It wouldve made the PS3 a whole lot more playable for me if I could tone down the graphics quality to get better FPS. Way better on PS4 but id still like to play with the settings to try and get more FPS. There are a few effects I prefer disabled anyway (Bloom, Motion Blur to name two).

Firstly, I wonder if DX11 is in beta. And lastly this guy the op couldn't wait to hate on the console. Also you really think square doesn't care if people upgrade. If 90%. Of people stay on ps3 there wouldn't be any reason to drop it, and that will get this game left behind by new mmo's otw that will be next-generation only.

Let's not forget the ps4 is ” new hardware” always takes years for developers to fully get every but of performance out of a new console.
