PC vs. PS4 limitations

[Jamein]

Why are people trying to simply compare PS4 to PC.
Are we saying a PC that meets the minimum specs? The Required specs? Or blows them all out of the park?

Not to mention, whats with all the saltyness? Higher end PC's have always been better performance and graphics wise than consoles, it's nothing new. The game still looks gorgeous on a PS4 and it handles it just fine.

I play on PS4 when I am being lazy like mining or crafting, and PC when I am raiding. SweetFX also makes the game look even better with the right settings.

"sorry my controller died(ran out of battery)" *makes other 3 players in the dungeon run wait 5min-25min. The 25min wait happened today, he never actually came back.

No actually the lowest common denominator is still the PS3. The thing with PC versions is that they're scalable. Console versions like the PS3 will always be holding us back since the game as of late and for Heavenswards future is developed with that blasted console in mind. The game isn't built around people with toasters, it's bullt around the console jalopy that is the PS3

If it we're targeted at the PS3 then there would be no mouse/keyboard mode or hotbars, all which the PS3 version lack. If you have ANY proof that can backup your claim though, please share it with us.

Allow me to first clarify. I did not mean built around PS3 as the MAiN platform, I mean the game is tuned around being able to be run by the PS3 somewhat smoothly. Every development choice has to be made around the limiting factor of the PS3. PS3 limitations has been a call out on the forums since launch but the earliest i can recall clearly is back in February of 2014 when Yoshi P had an interview with "Game Jouhou" He cited his fears that as development continued, he was worried that he'd have to cut out features due to the tech level of the PS3. In an interview after that, he commented on the awful memory of the PS3 and why we aren't even allowed TP bars. He's gone on record several times stating that as long as the PS3 fanbase is large enough, the game will continue to not add in larger scale changes in favor of keeping with the average pace of the PS3 hardware. So, as of now, until the PS3 is dropped, the game will always revolve around being able to have PS3 players experience the game at an acceptable level

Actually this is what he said about TP bars...

Oh, here we gooooo. *eyeroll* We all knew that this was coming. Further stigmatization of a sizable chunk of the playerbase simply because of the hardware they choose to run the game on, hardware that the publisher chose to support. And whether or not the accusations are true, people will believe it, because "GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE".

PC players had the game for two years all to themselves (depsite promises made by the publisher, and I will forever feel cheated of what should be rightfully mine), and some have bemoaned the fact that it is no longer "theirs and theirs alone" ever since.

Here's a thought: how about trying to find ways to make it better for the surviving console players (after PS3 users inevitably get the axe) instead of constantly taking a big fat piss all over us... and then having the nerve to tell us that it's raining.

I was just wondering if the people playing on consoles are missing out on just how amazing this game looks with everything on max? Is this true that the PS4 is that limited? Just curious.

Without anything else to compare it to, I would say I'm not missing out on anything. No idea what I'm getting for FPS, but my TV is the limitation anyways not the PS4. TV is only a 60hz so it won't do anything over 60FPS anyways. I also doubt these old tired eyes would see a difference between 60 and 80 or even 100 FPS anyways. It would look all the same to me.

PS4 - can't be upgraded
PC - can. Forever

lol, kinda, as long as they don't keep switching the pins on you, :P lol

Related to the topic: There is most definitely a difference from ps4 to PC, the ps4 looks pretty darned good though and runs pretty darned good, but the input lag and frame drops (I'm looking at you 33,24 Coerthas while spinning the camera around) after coming from PC is just too much for me to bare, in anything except casual content.
