Balancing PS4 vs PC

Woah, really? Does the PS4 sometimes just has 10FPS in this game? By the way, does anybuddy know how to measure this with PS4 (Pro)?

I donā€™t know the exact number but itā€™s frequently like looking through a flip book

At least this would explain why I sometimes have such great difficulties in spotting the predator or even in keeping the orientation/overviewā€¦

As I have the Pro it might be significantly worse with the normal PS4, right?

Itā€™s the same because there isnā€™t support for PS4 pro with this game

Ahā€¦

This thread has that video I promised.

Thatā€™sā€¦incredible - I will test that the very next time with my friend in a private match.

It is unbelievable; in some games I sweared a lot, feeling, that my movements somehow -without obvious reason- have been slowed down significantly from time to time - maybe that had to do with what you describe? As it was right in a face to face battle with the predā€¦

Whatsoever, I guess I am not able to understand this effect completely - before testing it for myself :)

Excellent hint! Thanks a lot for making that great video man!

We have talked about a lot of disadvantages for PS4 players - there also is one advantage: in melee, a PS4 soldier is better in hurry-scurrying to avoid the slashes of a predator - as he has more axes under control at the same time, right?

I tried that out today and was quite pleased with the outcomeā€¦ I will practice that. If someday I get it right to hit the correct attack buttons at the same time too - man, the predator will fear me :) Hooyah!

I am more and more getting the impression, that the game balance is not bad - not even between PS4 and PC (as PC seems to have advantages in ranged attack whereas PS4 seems to have advantages in melee).

When all players are PS4 the balance seems to be OK. A lot of narrow matches then.
But if PC players join the party, in the last days I experienced two quite different situations:

  1. quite alike said situation with PS4 - naturally with other playing styles

  2. PC players with super-human abilities; some see you when that should not be possible - always; some hit the target with EVERY shot; some are cloaked without any clicking noises; some move and/or shoot faster than it should be possible

Therefore, since today I assume, that most of the balancing discussion could be replaced by a cheating discussion. If there are super-humans out there, some should also be found in the PS4 community ā€“ where I did not experience such extremes until yet.

Anybody out there with a similar experience/conclusion?

If keyboard and mouse were implemented on ps5 for all fps titles. I woulnt but a pc again. If you could get pro x model with higher end nvidia cardsā€¦ that would sell me

Thought alike you quite a whileā€¦ Took me a while to get a little comfortable with a controller. Now I might even like it - as its im-precision might even be more realistic than the precision of a mouse in the endā€¦ And if ALL players just would have controllers, there would not be any problem at all. Nevertheless, aim assist would improve the gameā€¦
Big plus with a controller: you can sit on the couch, feet up and play relaxedlyā€¦

no boasting i was 110 in the world out of 5million people on x360 advanced warfighter. So i know what a controller feels likeā€¦ no thanks.

From the competitive POV I agree; I just play for fun (and I am far from being in any ranking at allā€¦ maybe the 110 from the bottom of the listing:), so I do not mind losing more often than with a mouse. I just prefer to play in a veeeery relaxed body posture ā€“ which would somehow be difficult with mouse and keyboard on my knees :)
I have accepted the controller as a ā€˜handicapā€™ and as an additional challenge. Nevertheless, aim assist would helpā€¦

not against it at all, just when they say nerf predator or this or that im like listenā€¦ you can be a lot more competitive if you drop the controllerā€¦ If a pc pred beats youā€¦ dont take it to heart.
