And once you’re in the game you’ll use that cash to buy your items.” If you’re worried about PlanetSide 2 being pay-to-win, Higby said, “Things that can be purchased for Station Cash are either purely cosmetic items, like camos and decals, helmets, things that just make you look cooler, or they’re side-grade play-style choices.2012’s free to play game, PlanetSide 2 will be making its way to the PlayStation 4. On PS4, “you’ll purchase Marketplace Cash using your PlayStation funds. With PlanetSide 2 following the free-to-play business model, you’ll be able to unlock additional items for real money. So hopefully on the PS4, although we’ll probably have a more constrained number of players on-screen at once, the gameplay won’t have much of an impact, so you won’t even notice. Unless you’re in the biggest of the big fights, you don’t really notice players popping in and out as the culling algorithm regulates how many characters are being sent to your client at once. We already have this culling we do for players in the PC game. Hopefully, if we do our jobs right, that won’t even be perceptible to you. On the PS4 those constraints might need to be a little tighter.
So if you’re in a huge fight and there are 300 players around, we already have a bunch of heuristics that slice that number of players down and show you the ones that are relevant to you on a moment to moment basis. But it might mean your client’s awareness of all the players around you might cut down. The good news is, the way we lower players wouldn’t necessarily mean there are fewer total players fighting on the map at once. Realistically though, Higby adds,”Our goal is to get as close as possible to doing that.” This means the maximum number of players on PS4 “might get lowered” as they work on final optimizations as launch approaches. So you can have about 3600 to 4800 players on a single server depending on what the continent locking situation looks like on that server, since we do lock continents to focus players onto different continents. Right now we have per map limits of about 1200 players. Following his confirmation that Sony Online Entertainment has a target for the release date of PlanetSide 2 on PS4, “but I don’t know the exact day,” Higby revealed the maximum numbers players they’re aiming for on PS4:
