PlayStation 3 version: Why Bother?

[Yolteotl]

DCUO isn't a real MMO.

SE looked into porting FFXI to PS3, but the encoding process due to the split RAM (same reason FFXIV 1.0 was not doable on PS3, same reason Skyrim DLC was not doable on PS3) makes encoding for a PS3 too much of a pain.

If it wasn't such a pain to upscale PS2 titles Sony wouldnt of dropped the compabatility support to lower the cost of PS3s by $200, and the HD PS2 Collections would of appeared much earlier in the PS3s lifespan. HOPEFULLY upscaling from PS3 to PS4 wont be so bad. Kinda like upgrading from XP to Vista is awful but Vista to Win7 is cake.

Microsoft being greedy and SE not supporting the 360 for FFXIV has nothing to do with the dev team. I think it's a bad idea to port it to the WiiU as well.

AND they arent dropping PS2 support for Seekers of Adoulin, only PS2 support in NA. EU never had PS2 support for FFXI. It's still being developed for JP PS2.

I heard someone said PS4 is going to use a Vita-like CPU, if a port can be working like the Vita, it should be cheaper and easier for developers. Cell processor costs them too expensive though.

lol... :P Really, it's up to SE and others. I know about M$ anyway.

For the PS4 CPU to be like the vita CPU it will have to have the ARM instruction set. Right now ARM CPUs are low powered and slower. I don't know much details of the PS4, looks like I'll have to go hunting.
