PC vs. PS4 limitations

[Daranion]

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...
