"PS3 Limitations"

[harrisben]

I suppose I still don't completely understand why the PS3's client has to hold back the PS4 or the PC client. There is no reason all platforms have to have identical clients.

They do have to unfortunately, to keep development time manageable and all platforms in sync - which is important considering the game is cross platform. Because of this, content is designed so that it will run on the lowest spec system they support (ie PS3). They can't very well have content that won't run a supported platform after all.

Also, I agree they should dump PS3 support asap. Japanese players on PS3 don't get a PS4 because they don't have to while the platform is still supported - cut support and you'll see a nice bump in PS4 sales.

EDIT: I was thinking I should add that when they do decide to sever support for PS3 it isn't like they'll announce it on the day. They'll give plenty of warning.
