Sony Online Entertainment has today revealed that their latest game, Planetside 2, which launched on PC in November last year, will be arriving on Sony’s next-generation PlayStation 4 console, which was unveiled earlier this year.
Cross-Platform Play Possibilities
It’s not been confirmed if the PlayStation 4 version of Planetside 2 will be able to interact and provide cross-platform play with PC players. Cross-platform play has been a highly requested feature among gamers, as it allows friends to play together regardless of their chosen platform. This feature could significantly enhance the game’s community and player base. As more details are revealed, we will keep you posted. Watch the trailer after the jump to see Planetside 2 in action.
Upcoming E3 Conference
Sony has still yet to actually show what their new PlayStation 4 console will look like, but more is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming E3 games conference, running from June 11th-13th, 2013. The E3 conference is one of the biggest events in the gaming industry, where major companies reveal their latest hardware, software, and game titles. This year’s conference is highly anticipated, especially with the next-generation consoles on the horizon.
PlanetSide 2 is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) and is the sequel to PlanetSide, which originally released way back in 2003. The game has been praised for its large-scale battles, with hundreds of players fighting simultaneously in a persistent world. The transition to the PlayStation 4 is expected to bring enhanced graphics, smoother gameplay, and possibly new content exclusive to the console version.
The PlayStation 4 version of Planetside 2 could also take advantage of the new console’s hardware capabilities, such as improved processing power and graphics performance. This could result in a more immersive and visually stunning experience for players. Additionally, the PlayStation 4’s new controller, the DualShock 4, features a touchpad and improved ergonomics, which could provide a more intuitive and comfortable gaming experience.
Another aspect to consider is the potential for new players to join the Planetside 2 community through the PlayStation 4. The console’s user-friendly interface and accessibility could attract a broader audience, including those who may not have a gaming PC. This influx of new players could lead to more dynamic and diverse in-game interactions and battles.
Moreover, the free-to-play model of Planetside 2 means that PlayStation 4 users can download and play the game without any initial cost. This could further encourage new players to give the game a try, contributing to the game’s longevity and success on the new platform.
The arrival of Planetside 2 on the PlayStation 4 is an exciting development for both existing fans and potential new players. The possibility of cross-platform play, enhanced graphics, and the accessibility of the PlayStation 4 could make this version of the game a significant milestone in the Planetside series. As we await more details and the official unveiling of the PlayStation 4 at the E3 conference, the anticipation continues to build for what promises to be an exciting addition to the gaming world.
