No. Not sure if you actually went from ps3 to ps4, but no.

What most PS3 users complain about isn't actually lag from the servers or their ISPs or network adapters or routers - it was graphical lag and processing power.

I was totally in the camp that I was just as good as anyone else was on my PS3 - I rarely got hit by a plume and almost never by a landslide in X mode on my PS3, tanked T4 and T5, etc. I can say with absolute certainty that my gameplay has improved since upgrading to PS4 - like, by a lot. I can see clearly, I don't get hit by things that it looked like I was out of - I am more often clearing the rims of plumes and the rails of Spinning Dives by a wide margin as opposed to razor thin pixels. It is honestly ALL due to the enhanced performance of PS4.

My hot buttons don't lag, I don't have to press my macros 1,000 times for them to work, my combo'ing is smooth, I don't have camera whip lag - its honestly like a totally different game, or like I had been playing with one arm tied behind my back before. While I was finding a high level of personal success at this game on PS3, it really is a handicap.

I'm not super tech savvy to the point where I would be able to ghetto-rig a PS3 to make it play nicely, or tunnel my ISP, or do whatever else - but I can say that in my experience, game play is definitely enhanced on the PS4 versus PS3, not just the graphics.
