John Smedley on PlayStation 4, PlanetSide 2, and EverQuest Next

Taking to Twitter this week, SOE boss John Smedley was rather ecstatic about the possibilities of working with the new platform and offered up a few other tidbits about cross-platform play. If you were hoping that PlanetSide 2 PlayStation 4 players would have a chance to take a few shots at their PC counterparts, that’s unlikely to happen.

PlanetSide 2 is a great f2p game for a launch title for the PS4. Can't wait for this game.

I tried that game and in all honesty I just couldn't get into it. I'm looking forward to Everquest next though. still variety is what we need and variety is what Sony is giving us.

I'm looking forward to trying it out, but from the videos I've seen I'd prefer another MAG. The combat seemed too spread out in Planetside 2, but I still think it's a good thing to have it on PS4.

I've already got some DCUO characters so I hope they'll be playable on PS4. I guess that could go either way.

As for EQ, I was big on PS2's EQOA so I'm sure I'd get into it on PS4 as well.

The first game I'll download on my PS4. :)

What if its bundled/installed in every PS4 from the start? :P

"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 good to hear. PS2 does have some optimization problems currently

Im glad their keeping the platforms separate, and I hope they don't support M&K on the PS4, I prefer an even playing field.

And if Sony allows K/B mouse on Ps4?like they do om PS3.I will be owning scrubs :p

[NegativeCreepWA]

It's the only way you'll be able to.
