Star Trek Online For Playstation 4?

general1devongeneral1devon Member Posts: 298 Arc User
So Everyone always thought MMO's had no future on consoles. Now in addition to Warframe, and Planetside 2 coming to PS4 we also have Blacklight Retribution, which just happens to be a Perfect World Game. So the Question is, will Perfect World be smart enough to bring STO to the next gen console?

P.S. I know I had a thread like this before, but that was when PS4 was first unveiled. Given the MMO's that are coming i think its possible

*Edit* Keep the flaming and Trolling out of here.

    Stop asking to give our PC Master race games to the dirty console peasants, unless you intend to take a huge dump on its quality because it is a "port".

    Sorry but your PC Elitism doesn't apply to PS4.

    Watch and Listen Carefully, if Planetside 2, which requires an uber powered PC, can look the same on PS4 as it would a top PC with graphics on uber sexy your point is invalid.

    They're all shooters. STO has too many buttons.

    I hate to break this to you but the process of porting only introduces problems, it won't look as good as on PC, and it certainly won't control as well. Besides, its not about looks, its about controls. If you think you can control STO better with a dual shock than a mouse and keyboard, you're wrong, and you're probably horrible at this game.

    Planetside is an FPS, that can work on consoles, and there's no way Cryptic would devote the massive amount of resources to porting STO when the game is still glitchy on its native platform. Possible does not mean probable, and it really doesn't mean it would be a good idea.

    STF pugs are bad enough without console 'tards TRIBBLE it up.

    Yeah I was thinking the touchpad could help. Beyond the control issue, I don't have a problem with console players playing the game. If it makes the game more profitable and the company can put out seasons, expansions, and featured episodes faster with higher quality, I'm all for it. You would probably need to have console players on their own shard, but making it cross platform would also have advantages (being able to play the same characters regardless of what system you play from).

    Sorry but I've been here since launch, don't question my ability to play this game. I mainly Want it on PS4 because I want to be able to play it on the highest quality without graphics glitches, and since Im only allowed to own a laptop while I live at my dads I can't unless I wanna fork over $700 or more for a better laptop.

    Exactly, And I mean With DCUO already on PS3 going to PS4 and a number of other MMO's coming to PS4 I think its entirely possible. People who are all PC's are the master race blah blah are just TRIBBLE. For One PC's are not a race, they are a machines.

    What part of next gen don't you get? The PS4 has some nice specs, more than nice enough to run STO. the game would run fine maxed out. If it can run Planetside 2, it can run STO.

    Kind of depends on how they capitalize on the touchpad. I'm skeptical too, but you never know.

    Translation: "I have a giant **** cause I'm good at STO, learn to play noob."

    Uh huh.

    The PS4 is basically a PC, and everything we're hearing from developers is that Sony learned its PS3 lesson and PS4 is a dream to build for.

    Yes, because obviously every person who plays a console is an idiot, and not just the COD kiddies who would have no interest in a Trek game.

    Also it's not like our present community is a paragon of good behavior or anything.

    Sorry, this game does not belong on a console, no MMO belongs on a console unless it is some kiddy game like Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

    Consoles are inferior, period

    As for elitism with PC's..of course. PC's can be upgraded, over and over. PC's will always have more processing power, graphics capability and storage than a console ever will. Even the PS4 will be outdated. A PC can be upgraded, and can run games better than consoles ever could hope too.

    Thanks, bai!

    I'm questioning your ability to play this game because you want to switch to a blatantly inferior method of controlling the game, which either means you want it dumbed down or you don't care about playing well. After all if you've been playing since launch you really should know better.

    And again, the power of a system does not automatically translate to the graphical quality of the system. STO's graphics level would be attainable on any modern console, not just PS4/Xbone. The problem is in the process of porting. How many graphical glitches have I encountered just today on my top of the line gaming pc? At least seven. That's not my fault. The best case scenario for a port is that it will look As Good and play worse.

    And if you port it to PS4 we'll have the Xbox fanboys whining about how they don't get it, so now you've got to port it to the Xbone as well. That's a massive amount of development time for a job easily the size of three or four full expansions. So you don't want to upgrade and want to inflict a plague of terrible players on everyone, and deny us years of content, yeah, that's not selfish at all.

    You don't know anything, do you? Wait, I've read your signature, no need to answer.

    It's on the controller, within easy reach of your thumbs. Could easily be done with the right hand while the left hand steers the ship.

    Would also be nice if the 4 O [] /\ X buttons are instead of being mapped, give you macros like "hit this combination of abilities" "fire all weapons" etc.

    Consoles haven't been capable of it before now, not readily. A lot of people are jumping on this bandwagon, I think it would be smart to do it at this stage. Just in terms of markets and competitions, it would make sense for them to do some research and see if they could get it working.

    EDIT: Indeed, not to mention Blacklight. I forgot about that, largely because of how pissed I am at some of the changes they made. I had to quit. But whatever, yeah good for Zombie. I guess.
