Planetside 2 and DC Universe Online coming to PS4
Both Planetside 2 and DC Universe Online will be making their way to the new console sometime after it launches later this year, publisher Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed.
Update: Added tweets from SoE's John Smedley.
Two large MMOs are going to be coming to the PlayStation 4. Both Planetside 2 and DC Universe Online will be making their way to the new console sometime after it launches later this year, publisher Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed.
Both titles will get the digital download treatment, according to IGN, although SoE is being coy on the release date until Sony announces when the PS4 will launch.
SOE's John Smedley tweeted that PC and PS4 Planetside 2 players would likely be on different servers, and that "work that we are doing for Planetside 2 on PS4 is going to yield a faster PC version.. much better at multicore support." As for DCUO, Smedley said "DCUO PS4 players will be playing on the same servers as the PS3 players."
Smedley had previously hinted that Planetside 2 would be coming to the PS4, and SOE has said before they wanted to work with next-gen. DCUO is already on PlayStation Network for PS3, and the move to PS4 should allow players to keep playing when it is released on the new platform, despite its lack of backward compatibility.

I don't know, the Sony online community is pretty shitty too.

It was actually pretty fun at first but I put it down for a while and when I came back to it after a number of updates, they had made it so easy that you could just button-mash through the early game stuff without even trying. Really dull. Maybe the late game stuff is better. I've been thinking about tring it again now that I have a bigger hard drive. It is free after all.

I liked it when I played it with a controller on PC. fun playing a brawler character. neat that you could basically customize your guy's look & powers:

aaaaand there's the problem with superhero MMOs. everyone makes a character that looks fucking awful. (no offense)

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on the PS4, like it has a tendency to explode after a few hours use or it requires a blood sample in lieu of DRM.

What the hell are all these Freemium's and MMO's doing in this line up. I hate all that crap. This is the future of gaming? More FPS and MMO's and freemiun crap?
I want original titles, with great fun gameplay, to take me to a fully realized virtual world where I can sit back and enjoy the game. Not maze running and shooting on high fidelity. Or character building in cheap MMO's, these are not RPG's -

I think it would be fine! I play pc games online with a controller all the time since I usually have my girlfriend sitting next to me and while I may not dominate matches I'm usually in the upper half! Plus I know the PS3 can support keyboard and mouse so hopefully the PS4 will be the same!

That sucks!!! I was really hoping for a way to quickly play PS2 with a controller while hanging out with my girlfriend. I'm sure the game wouldn't be that bad with a controller since its not a twitchy shooter plus if they need to I'm sure they could let people use keyboard and mouse unless somehow that won't be possible with the PS4. I already sank a ton of time into the pc version though so if I can't use my account I'll stick with pc!

I'm torn, part of me hopes they have separate servers so I don't have to get called a niggerfaggot every 10 seconds, but part of me really hopes they're on the same server so I can slaughter console players.
