When is the PS3 Version going to get cancelled?

[SonyTriple]

Other than the obvious fact that the PlayStation 4 wasn't even out when ARR launched, and the PlayStation 3 already had a large market compared to a platform that had yet to be released, they promised 1.0 on PS3 and that backfired spectacularly. ARR releasing on PS3 was simply fulfilling that promise.



You might want to check your crystal ball again. PlayStation 3 is still getting tons of support this year in Japan, and as far as Square Enix is concerned, that's their main market.

Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 PS4/PC only and sold a of copies. Wouldn't be impossible on a ps3. Ps3 on this game runs at like 5-10 fps. Graphics aren't the only thing that's holding this game back it's what else you can put into the game. A ten year old console isn't going to cut it in the next generation age. VR Support is getting added too.

With hyperbole like this, there is no doubt as to the nature of this topic.

Folks stop feeding the troll.

The ps3s graphical capabilities aren't what people refer to when they claim it's holding the game back. 99% of the time they're referring to problems that arise due to the ps3s limited 512mb of RAM, which is a very serious limitation on a game of this scope

256MB was explicitly partitioned for the RSX, CellBE has 256MB. Much like the PS2, PS3 was a beast for through-put, but has strict memory limits.

Really I hope they drop ps3 support soon cause its like such an outdated console that is majorly holding this game back.

Why dosent it look much better on ps4 compaired to ps3 you say? the simple answer is the fact that the game is the same just made for simple console compatability.

example think playing a ps3 game on your ps4 does it look any better?

I rest my case.

Rest your case, but you're badly wrong. PS4 version is damn near idntical to the PC version with GPU defaults hardcoded, the PS3 version is totally separate. FFXIV on a PS4 looks great, comparing to PS3 is akin to comparing 1080p video to 480i...
