Can PS4 handle Path of Exile?


simply
no...

on the fly loads would take forever
startup load would take forever
6 players mtx madness would lag out the hell of the cpu, your game would probably freeze because of peaks and the bottleneck.
Guess your done after mud flats because you cannot stand the load and lagfest anymore.

GGG would need to massive cut the game to fit it on a powerful plattform as the ps4 is.

For those interested in the gamepad support: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1262531

It's a tool I'm working on, been using it to play POE for a while now, just recently released.

Any feedback is appreciated

Would it? cause i hear that on the fly loading is loading stuff from the HDD to ram, and the ram for the PS4 is 8gb of gddr5. the limiting factor being the HDD, there more than enough spare ram to load what the game needs onto it.

So yeah, technicaly the ps4 should be able to handle the game with relative ease.

The problem comes with coding game pad support and altering the game so it works well

PS4 could handle three Path of Exiles if the engine was genuinely optimized.
But playing an ARPG with a controller skillfully is as close to impossible as you can get without experimental physics, so it shouldn't happen anyways.

D3 did it pretty well. Its doable, but at this point its a 2-3 year old game, I doubt it would get much attention with the console crowds anyway so why bother

Consoles destroyed every beautiful game there is. I won't let this happen again.

Meh, that's a scapegoat.

It's not consoles fault, it's market and corporations fault.

Its 100% consoles fault, they had to dumb down games so it could either work with their console or be playable with their shit pads, end of story.

I'd expect the console versions to be updated a lot less often if they were to ever exist, primarily because it costs thousands of dollars to release a single patch for a game on those platforms.

PS4 and Xbox One have a good chance of playing this with minimal effort from the developers as these 2 consoles are, hardware wise, very similar to a standard computer unlike previous consoles.

Heck, they could use the consoles USB ports for keyboard/mice input, but then again Sony/Microsoft want those USB ports to only be used for external HDD's and charging their game pads because reasons.
