PC vs. PS4 limitations

[Kosmos992k]

I wish they'd drop consoles entirely... In my opinion MMORPGs don't belong on consoles at all. This game is being held back graphically, and data wise as well.

3 things;

First, no console support would kill this game almost overnight.
Second,with the 8GB of GDDR5 memory PS4 has, there is no argument that you can make that says PS4 holds it back data wise at all.
Third, the GPU in the PS4 isn't exactly high end for dedicated gaming rigs, but it's better than average for consumer PCs in general.

Not to mention, that the PS4 is basically a PC architecture optimized for gaming console use, making it more of a gaming rig 'lite' than anything else. PS4's GPU has the advantage of tighter integration with the rest of the system and a more optimized architecture for gaming instead of running Windows unlike a PC.

If you can scale detail and resolution in a game for differing classes of gaming PC hardware, there is absolutely no reason why that cannot be done with PS4. I can think of no way that PS4 could be accused of holding back the game any more than consumer PCs and low-mid range gaming PCs can.

Oh, and regarding Coerthas and frame rates, a lot of PC players have the same issues, the problem is that the game client either needs it's draw distance capped to prevent drops in frame rate, or it needs to stop rendering everything around the character, even though it's not currently in view. this is a problem shared by many people, not just console based players.

Regarding housing...

I thought they said this was server side, not a console restriction.

That is in fact what they have said, it is server side, not client.

I think they should just separate us. Let console users play with other console players and PC play with themselves

I see what you did there....

PS4 probably outperforms more than half the PC's people are using to play this game anyways.

Segregating console and PC players would be counter productive to the game's future, not to mention that people haven't the slighted clue whether a person is playing on PS4 with a DS4, or on PC with a 3rd party controller.

That's for sure. I wouldn't want to separate them. Imagine the que times then. I just said that because its kinda sad this whole PC/console debate. Its like two old men arguing over tuna or chicken salad. They both do the same thing, for all purposes here anyways.

LOL agreed. Though I shall note that tuna will always smell fishy....
