1) Planetside 2 isn't a very demanding PC game. At least, not in the GPU sense... it is in the CPU sense, due to bad programming. It's not demanding so much as it is picky.
2) The titan while impressive, is actually pretty shit for it's price. In otherwords, a lot cheaper cards will do it close for less. Really, the Titan isn't actually needed for anything in gaming right now.
3) By better multi-core support they mean that Planeside 2 for PS4 will have better multicore support not that PS4 has better multicore support then PC.
Planetside 2 pretty much uses zero multi-threading and only uses one core on your PC. They were supposed to fix this WAY back in the beta days, but didn't.
Games now a days generally do support at least dual core... and a game like Planetside not supporting it, is generally a huge failure since it's putting 200 objects on screen at a time.
Generally, on a lot of computers it will run like crap... yet not use anything more then 30% of your systems resources... because they programmed it like it was for an old school single core computer.
or TLDR, PS2 will run better on the PS4 because it's programmers aren't so much "noobs" anymore, it doesn't really having anything to do with the PS4.
If they put the PS2 PC version on PS4 with the smallest amount of tweaks... it probably wouldn't even be playable... on any setting. PS2 runs like garbage on AMD hardware. Hence the need for a version with better multithreading.
It is a pretty fun game though. I'd definitly suggest playing it.
Hopefully they'll port the PS4 engine back over to the PC so people with modern PCs can run the game decently.
