When it comes to actually getting the game up and running on PS4, as opposed to PC, Matt talked about how “the PS4 is a lot easier because you have a consistent set of hardware that you’re optimizing against. It really is a challenge to optimize high-end PC games to be able to work on the pantheon of hardware that’s available to players nowadays, it’s just insane.” - PSLS
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
The last Live Letter is done and we were all surprised at the announcement of a delay to the release of FFXIV's Endwalker expansion, we got some more details about the MMORPG's new PvP Crystal Conflict mode, and some system details. Then we talk about PlanetSide 2's new continent and LOTRO's new expansion before wrapping up with some good changes for Ubisoft and Blizzard... but are they enough? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
PlanetSide 2 is going to be getting its next major expansion this December. This new addition, titled “Expedition: Oshur” will be the first addition in almost seven years to bring an entirely new continent to the game.
Multiple cores requiring multi-threading? Who knew.
And that is why I wish all gaming platforms had been PC based last gen. Could you imagine where the developers would be now if the PS3 used an Intel or AMD chip?
Gaming would have been growing in leaps and bounds instead of baby steps.
Sony is a non HSa member so the ps4 uses the AMD Kabini that is not as good at multi core threading like the HSA Kaveri.

Planetside 2 doesn't seem to be getting much attention right now. Hopefully that changes as the release gets closer.
They should have dealt with this in the current gen. The cell in the PS3 is all about threads.
