Ah, well. Down the hatch.

It's a rupture within the community similar to what we faced when European players would have been unable to access US servers. We made enough noise to change that. We need to do the same now.

Don't count on anymore big updates after this, at least not for a while.
Get your umbrellas mfers because the sky is falling!!

Come on now. In what press release did they say PC would stop being developed? Why do people need to "Transition" from PC to Console? Was the cancellation of the PC version announced and I missed it?

Get a grip - this won't change much from a community standpoint. We will get more folks to drop by probably and take part but overall they will be largely segmented just because of how things tend to fall together.

But the PC version hasn't gone anywhere and isn't. Get a grip.

Re: IGN.com DCU and PS2 going to PS4


this is either good news or bad news:

good news that (even though unlikely, they are probably getting their own server ) i get more idiots to shoot at

and it gives SOE more money to work on updates.

but how will it effect development? will it slow down? is a completely different team working on it?


i like the multicore optimisations though, good!

Now that is a community manager stepping up. STFU people. FACT: PS2 will be on the PS4. FACT: The communities will be separate. FACT: No one here who is authorized to say knows fooking sh1t about any plans as to how development money will be directed.

What I assume: PS4's involvement alone means that more money will go into developing this game. Regardless of not sharing communities, the fact that more people will be playing this game, regardless of PC or platform, will mean more advertisement overall. More support overall. More players overall. I'd fuking love to r4pe console gamers all day and night, but it wont happen. MAN UP and compete with the PC crowd.

BOTTOM LINE: More human beings on this planet will know of PS. A good number of them will be PC gamers. More players = better.

it is most likely that communities will be separate, remember it is not really confirmed yet.


but apart from, that, agreed.

I pity the PS4 crowd


Thank GOD for them that we wont share servers. I mean, come on, it would be fun to r4pe console players with our WADS and mouse aim, but seriously, I pity them. A shit ton of outfits in PS2 operate using in game VOIP, and it does work well. Until you reach a significant size. The 666th has a very organized and deep comms system that TS3 can facilitate. How will PS4 outfits that are large coordinate? I guess they can use Outfit VOIP, but I feel bad for them not being able to use 3rd party programs. Unless I'm in the dark (which I am, I only have a 360 for Madden Competitions).

Personally, I hate Teamspeak. Mumble's way better.

But I think that the Playstation 4 may allow third party programs. I feel like it should, given the fact that it IS still a computer, and has a browser and such, right?

No one said anything about the PC version being cancelled, but you're still lying to yourself if you think this nonsense won't slow down the already sluggishly-released game updates.

I would really love this idea if PS4 players would be on the same servers as PC players for a few reasons. The most obvious being that we would get to wreck all those terrible console kiddies, but also because it would ensure that they stay on track with the game and don't go off on two different tangents, creating different updates for each game, which would definitely result in more work and less reward.

They always have the ability to create their own VOIP channels and use them similar to a TS or Mumble layout. It's not optimal (IMO) but it's not that bad.

I pity them too but not for VOIP, auto aim pump actions. Truly horrifying.

Re: I pity the PS4 crowd


It's most likely going to be a stand alone dumbed down version.

Which makes me wonder... How many people on the servers at once compared to the PC version and how many continents will there be?

I just know it's a mistake. People will be drawn to consoles thinking it will be "easier to play" when it's not (mouse beats gamepad in terms of aiming) which will take away or keep pc gamers at bay.

Then there's the whole COD mentality. The only upside is that the mindless morons will go to console instead and us thinkers will stick to PC. But without large zergs on the frontlines (the mindless) it will take away from the whole war environment and risk only squad attacks (which is good. But a large army is needed too).

I just see it as a bad idea overall.

Mistake? No fucking way. Exposure. Let them have their community, still more PS2.
