Greetings from the PlanetSide 2 team! We’ve had a busy start to 2014 with tons of progress being made on the PS4 version of PlanetSide 2! Getting the world’s largest FPS experience to the console is no small feat, and we have an incredibly talented, hard-working team dedicated to the cause.

Each day is a flurry of playtests, reviews, brainstorming, check-ins, and more playtesting for good measure; the progress we’ve made over the last few months has been amazing to watch.

Now the team is looking forward to an exciting summer full of events and reveals, kicking off this month at E3 and MLG Anaheim (June 20th through 22nd) with the very first hands-on playable version of PlanetSide 2 on PS4! We absolutely can’t wait for you to experience the epic scale and intensity of PlanetSide 2.

The best part? These new features will be implemented on both the PC and PS4 versions of the game, and new features and content will continually be added to the game for years to come. And did I mention, all this for a free-to-play title out of the gate — no PlayStation Plus required.

Huh? Don't you need ps+ to be online?
I mean, how will you even be able to access the game from the ps store without a ps+ subscription?

(I've had ps+ from before, so I really don't know....can you access the store without ps+?)
 
Imagine the $$$ if Sony got League of Legends or DOTA2 on PS4. The F2P money is real.

You can use a kbam with FFXIV on PS4 (along with the DS4 simultaneously); don't see why it can't be used with other PC ports.

Yea but much like FFXIV they can't assume everyone will plug in a KB/M so they have to cater to controller folks as well, and yea I can't imagine playing either game with a controller and actually being able to compete with even the s***tiest DOTA/LOL player.
 
So is there a release date on this? Its been "coming soon" for a long time.
 
Still no release date, lol, but some good info and video released at E3.
Six Axis control for flight, touchpad for map navigation, 1080p and aiming for 60fps...

what? Later this year now? "hopefully" lol, what the hell sony, this was supposed to be a launch game.
 
This was one of the mains reasons I preordered the PS4 and bought it at launch. I was expecting it to be a launch window game. It looks really great.

Now it's summer and we still don't have a date. Game looks good, but if they release it after August, they might as well just not release it at all. September 2014 though April 2015 are going to be jam packed with lots of shooters and other AAA games. I feel like they will have troubling having a steady player base.

You don't need PS Plus to gain access to the PS Store. I though you had a PS4, don't you?
