Can crowds get large enough at a placard that it would affect performance on ps4? This isn't sarcasm, it's a genuine question.

I don't think it can be done. Even if SE manage to even the playing field between ps4 and pcs of a similar spec with a SSD, there are still far more powerful and far weaker pcs than the ps4. There is always going to be some disparity somewhere.

We need instanced housing : /
