PS4 PlanetSide 2 beta will launch this year
After a prolonged period of silence, Sony Online Entertainment have confirmed to Eurogamer that the beta of their successful MMOFPS will hit the PS4 this year.
Creative director Matt Higby cited technical hurdles and a desire to make the port feel like a "full-on console experience," while still keeping the PC version's ultra resolution textures and graphics. 60FPS has been the target through development, with efforts to curtail framerate drops in large battles.
The game will still include microtransactions, sharing a currency with fellow PS4 title DC Universe online. Cross-platform play has also been ruled out, citing a desire not to handicap players by letting long-time PC uses import experienced characters.
