Lack of PC gamers, therefore lack of people who have actually played Planetside 2.   I mean sure CGI Quality did, but he has a developer level PC.  Outside people who play Planetside 2 it's weird single core focus isn't well known.

That they're finally going to fix something they said was going to exist at launch, and were promising to fix for ages now is good news.... because well... it IS a fun game.

It's a game i'd recommend on PS4 for sure.

Just a quick note: They didn't really say anything about framerate. Not that it changes the graphics even if it is 30 FPS... But you guys should really consider this.

PC gamer here, yet i never played planetside 2 and my pc isn't good enough to rn it at max settings. I can barely run the witcher 2 at high. 

Talking about it the devs released a HUGE update today.

Game Update 13

- Automated server recommendations 
- Improved respawn logic
- An improved tutorial
- New weapons and other equipment
- Vehicle reworks
- UI tweaks
- Lots of gameplay rebalancing

Reason PS2 doesnt run well on modern computers is because it pushes the boundaries of the CPU and it just doesn't have multi-core support...yet.

It will get better once they port it back to PC from PS4 though, John Smedley confirmed this on twitter some weeks ago. Bit annoyed we have to wait for the console version to get something that should have been a focus in the first place...

It is not just that... the PS2 uses a way different archicture so you have to make every call to CPU/GPU on PS2 to run transalated in the PC CPU/GPU... that's make the performance goes to hell.

More complex... more work... less performance to emulate a hardware.

That's the same point you maybe will never see a PS3 emulation in PC... I think it is easy to have a PS4 emulator soon than a PS3 one... and I think there is no hardware on PC that can emulate the CELL today.

It is not about power... PC hardware destroy PS3 hardware but it can't emulate the Cell.

i hope so, it should also easily run on a decent pc with at least 30fps if the developers wouldn't have fucked it up so much. another game which runs much worse as it should is metro 2033. that game could easily run much better on the same systems it is struggling on.

Sorry but its no longer free to play. How are people even still thinking that? Sony openly stated anything online requires that you pay. That means any free to play PC game is now suddenly pay to play on PS4. Tbh there is  a valid reason they are free to play, they arent worth a monthy subscription fee.

Also we need to remember that PS4 has a mobile chip in it not a standard PC chip. Its not going to preform like a PC

Glad PS4 runs on a PC-based hardware architecture, it's loads easier to port games around.

PS2 actually has very good GPU optimization, u can monitor whetever ur performance is constrained by GPU/CPU by pressing ALT+F ingame

Actually anyone who plays PS2 here, do this. If you see light blue colored text on the lower left corner next to your FPS to be "[CPU]", raise ur settings. Suprisingly that tends to have a positive effect on performance. There's some optimization guides on the forums too, those are really helpful too.

I feel people are really underestimating the difficulty of the task that is optimizing PS2, we've had multiple discussions about this on the Planetside 2 official forums many times before. The game is completely different from any other shooter on the market now, multi-core optimization is effin hard and they're doing it on a completely new engine (that keeps evolving with the game) with loads of things happening simultaneously that have to be tracked.

But yeah, just wait it out and it should get lot better for PC too

also the work that we are doing for Planetside 2 on PS4 is going to yield a faster PC version.. much better at multicore support.

That's actually pretty good for a 650 Ti on a dual core CPU, 1080p 60FPS on PS4 isn't far fetched then. I wonder how it'd run with modified inf file on that setup.
