Porting to the PS4?

ps4 is a myth

You can have your PS4 version if people can have their Wii U version.

Anyway, won't they be compatible? It doesn't need to be ported, they could just detect your console and change some graphics settings depending on which one it's installed on or something.

The PS4 won't be backward compatibe. To reduce the costs, they are switching to intel CPUs. I don,t remember where I have read that but it sounded pretty much official.

Both MS and Sony are pushing the current consoles as far as they can. I jsut hope this time around Sony uses better common sense with memory design and avaiability. The Memory has held it back for many developers. Just as logn as the PS3 doesn't hold back ARR like the PS2 held back XI to keep content similiar across the platforms. The 360 version of XI was actally a scaled PC version (complete with bugs at that point)., basically Emulated.

No doubt they will continue scalign down visuals and draw distance as well as effects for the PS3 version but doing SE art magic to make it still look good. However they shouldn't limit PC's that are much higher speced as a result.

Ps4? That depends on the core design. If similair to the PS3, they ccan use the base tools used for the PS3 and upscale for the higher memory and GPU, which means Opengl limitations. If a different design, they may need to rework the tools for it, and decidde if it is warrented based on units sold and peopel interested.

I don't think even single player developers are worrying about the PS4 atm lol

Yes and no. It's not as easy as saying "Oh, let's make that multi-platform. *POOF*! Oh, it works on PS4! /joy"

They actually have to code a part of it FOR the PS4. So, they do care single player games on the PS4.

The point of this thread wasnt to worry specifically about the PS4, I was more of using that as an example since that will most likely be Sonys next gaming platform, but more of can they upgrade things like their servers and graphics, and UI and things like that as time goes on and things get upgraded.

And also they DO have to worry about things like that if they want this game to last for years to come like FFXI!

[indira]

well the games specs are locked in now for ps3 till they stop supporting it. just like FFXI was locked into ps2 specs, now ps2 is gone ffxi still got no upgrade not even for the textures.

should put attention on the Wii-U since thats the next system coming out.
