PS4 Versus PC

[Yurimi]

That's all a lie.
I've ran more games than I can count on an inferior GPU/CPU than what the PS4 has, at 1050-1080P with no issues at 60+ FPS (This my old system from nearly 5 years ago).
The times it'd struggle, a little do it yourself overclock and you're back in the game.
And they do not have a larger library. PC has backward compatibility ranging back to early 1990's and can emulate almost every single console up to the last generation of consoles. So...

Tell that to my old sherlock games for PC that I had to dig my old windows 98 laptop out to play, even compatibility mode says gtfo

as far as the topic goes I play on both I dont see any extrmely noticable difference between my PC and PS4, is a PC going to be better sure but a PC that can push this game with all the various graphics add-ons is going to run a person a lot more and its going to run them even more if the person isnt comfortable building it themselves (I know god have mercy on my soul I dont like to build PC's). If you just want to play the game the PS4 is just as good as a more expensive PC that you pick up at the store. Enjoy the damn game and let the war go because in the end we all love this game and without eachother there would be no game or a lot less of one due to the lack of sub money.

lol, you PC Master Race trolls are hilarious. "Thats a lie because I said so and my 5 year old PC played 5 year old games at 1080p blah blah blah"

Yeah great, now play current games on it at near full settings like PS4 can, using 3 year old hardware. Or a game that looks as good as The Last of Us on a computer with PS3's hardware. Better yet play FFXIV on a computer with PS3's hardware. Oh right ... you cant... PS3 had a stripped down 7800GT (more or less) and the minimum PC requirements are 8800 or above. Should I mention the PS3 only had about 512MB total RAM? Or was it 256MB? Oh but im sure itll be a different story with PS4. Nope, my inferior $400 PS4 wont outlive your $400-$600 graphics card at all.

As for the emulation, lol, you never hacked a console before have you? I can emulate games on my phone, whats your point? "No, PC has more games because it can emulate the consoles that played them 10-30 years ago!" (90's? wtf?) The fact of the matter (and my entire point) is that when it comes to playing MOST of the newest and greatest games coming out, PC players fall way behind either waiting for a port (*cough* GTA5 *cough*) or wishing they had the console to play it.

So I still love to play my PC but my expectations for the PS4 was high due to all the hype. So I decided to try it out. Saw the video that showed the PS3, PS4 and PC graphics for FFXIV and said oh PC and PS4 look the same. But the keyboard is the biggest problem for me. I just cant believe that a slow Keyboard is acceptable to Sony. Either way, this is just for some information. I will still use both.

On the keyboard, I was using Wired. Gonna try wireless today.

This is why you dont buy in to hype.......... Iv played games and watch movies people said it sucks ass and I loved them

Heh, how can people play with a KB on PS4? Do you have some desk set up in front of your couch? I even tried the coffee table but that got uncomfortable after about 10 minutes. I have a wireless KB I use for typing but there is no way I can actually play with it unless its on my desk, but then I may as well just play on PC.

[Bixby]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to ever use KB/mouse controls on the PS4. The whole point is to be able to lie down on the couch!

On the keyboard lag, I suspect it's that the PS4 just doesn't push a lot of power through its USB ports, and some keyboards are hungrier than others. I've got a backlit USB keyboard, and when I hook that up to the PS4, life is terrible. But my wireless keyboard and mouse work just fine, no lag at all. If you've got a USB hub with its own power source, it might be worth trying to put that between the keyboard and the PS4 and see what happens.

I upgraded my ps4 with a 1 tb SSD and it loads faster then my pc that uses a SSHD. I don't notice any delay with my keyboard that is bluetooth. I mostly use the controller. I only use keyboard for typing. Any I have no choppyness in my graphics when I am in ST, etc. Everything is smooth.

Haven't noticed any problems with keyboards on ps4. We use an old Razer Deathstalker that we saved after switching to blackwidows. I play on PC and I think it runs better on the ps4.

[ruskie]

I don't play with a keyboard other than to type. I do notice some typing delay at times on the keyboard... something that wasn't an issue on the PS3 so certainly something that could be improved - probably eventually will be and I'm using a small alphabumeric only 10eur keyboard with it(don't need more to chat).

Only FPS tanking I've seen is S rankso and Behe and Odin fates really. CT and ST have been smooth so far as have other instances.

I use the cheapest Logitech wired keyboard with my PS4 (the K120) - there's no delay for me, never has been. Pretty sure that the majority of PS4 users use it just for the chatlog and don't attach a mouse (you have the controller touchpad for cursor purposes). The dualshock controller interface for PS4 is pretty awesome, so if you're moving to PS4 from PC, abandon your mouse/keyboard combo and learn to use a controller.

The auto-uploads of screenshots to social media and the built-in streaming on the PS4 are great. On the downside, it's a total bitch when PSN maintenance means you can't log in, but this only happens rarely.

I played 1.0 and ARR on PC up until the start of this year when I got my PS4. I only play on PC if I'm away from home and have my laptop, but even now that hardly happens as I use the PSVita remote play feature (although it's a bit crap due to connection issues - as long as you're not doing group content you're fine...)
