Planetside 2 PS4 Beta Coming This Year, Aiming For 1080p/60fps

Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed that the game's beta is still on track for release this year.

Planetside 2's creative director Matt Higby says that the developer is aiming for 1080p, 60 frames per second, and that the beta will still arrive in 2014.

In an interview, Higby said that the PS4 version of Planetside 2 isn't going to be a simple, straight-forward port of the PC version that released in November of 2012.

"As much as it sounds like we're blowing smoke, we're working hard to release a game that feels like a full-on console experience and not just like a port," says Higby.

"So it's taken us quite a long time to re-jigger our user interface and our controls. There's a lot that needs to get done."

Higby continued saying that while the PS4 version currently runs at 1080p, SOE is "still trying to shoot for 60fps." One of the main issues holding Planetside 2 back is the PS4's CPU, which due to a high volume of on-screen activity, is lowering the framerate to below 60.

"So, generally when your frame-rates are low, it's a CPU problem, not a GPU problem. And that's where we're optimising right now, to get our CPU running faster so the game is running at a more consistent frame-rate on the PS4.

"We're trying to get a solid frame-rate. So if we go to 30 it'll be because we want to maintain a completely solid 30fps. But that's the optimisation we're working on right now. And we're still grinding on it."

As for the PS4 beta of Planetside 2, Higby thinks that they are still on track for a 2014 release, although there isn't an official date as of yet.
