Competitive play and the PS4

<< < (4/7) > >>

Erheller:
As far as I'm aware, it's possible to use mouse and keyboard with the PS4.

Spud Nick:
Most online games that are coming to the consoles will be on separate servers. I don't think that PC players will be able to play with the PS4 players.

Muse confirmed quite a while ago that PS4 players and PC players will be on the same servers.

Coldcurse:
the question wont be if there will be enough ps4 players to play the game.

the real qustion is:
Will the server be able to handle the amount of people?

Thomas:
It'll be interesting. Shouldn't be too much of a problem for console users to communicate and organize. More often than not they're likely to have headsets/mics

, not to mention the in game signals/voices. Then there's also console-based networks and forums where players often communicate. I know they were pretty popular on the xbox for forming clans and setting up playtimes, I expect playstation has something similar.

There's always the controller issue, which may lead to some aim-assist features that are present in most console shooting games; but GoIO is already controller compatible, so you can plug in your controller and give it a whirl if you have one, see how it handles. I've tried it a little, but it feels odd, takes some getting used to.

So they're generally be able to form competitive teams and be able to participate in contests and events as they occur. It still would be nice (and I'm sure it's on the ever growing to-do list) to have more robust in-game clan features; and muse is aware of our desire for such. One thing I think might help bridge the gap was the in-game calendar someone mentioned. Letting players view (and possibly sign up) for events/competitions.

Although it might be a little intense if there's a massive influx of players. Gonna have to put mah game face on. >=I
