Comparing the PS4 experience with the PC

[mohib55]

How do you think the PS4 experience will compare to that of the PC?

As far as I know the PS4 will have better graphics but it is the controller issues that I am worried about. For me I believe that the PC gamer will have a huge advantage when it comes to this aspect just because a the PC controls are simply better and offer more freedom. This is based on personal experience and other peoples experience of hooking up a controller to the PC in order to play the game. It is not even competitive, flying it extremely hard and accuracy is greatly reduced

What are your thoughts on the matter?

In my opinion the keys+mouse beats controller on almost any FPS game. It has a huge advantage for aiming. AFAIK Planetside 2 is not a cross-platform game, so it won't matter because those who play it on PS4 will only be playing against people that also use a controller. Hooking up a controller to the PC is great in sports games or racing games, but I can't imagine trying to play an FPS against people that are using a mouse. I doubt using a controller will be an issue with this game in particular though.

I dunno, I can't really imagine the console version being any better. The PC version really pushs the boundries of hardware sometimes, I know from personal experience that if one area gets enough guys (i'm talking 100 or so) fighting on multiple sides the frame rate gets really bad on my PC.

Yeah I wanna see how the performance holds up when you have a bunch of platoon crashing in one hex. Higby, the lead dev, said it runs at 1080p 60 FPS, but we don't know if that's just at warpgate or something. You won't need to worry about PC vs. controller since everyone will be playing on controller. There will be no cross platform play. I do prefer KB+mouse for FPS games though, I think most people do.

Can't compare something that is not on the console yet
