If that means they actually upgrade/fix their super #$^#! servers, I guess. Otherwise, no thanks the servers can't even support the current PC players let alone a flood of console users.

Looking forward to playing the PS4 version.

With that said, they really should have focused on improving performance on PC first.

Secondly, i hope Sony forces them to remove the region lock on this game at least on console. Sony doesn't do region lock on any of its platforms and i appreciate and support that.

@Recore, as much as i would love that too, it ain't happening. Microsoft is that anti social. Sony at least did it with FFXIV, SFV, Rocket League, Paragon, and a couple more.

True. I'm really excited about these port news, but still worried about performance and server issues. Pearl Abyss and Kakao//Daum games haven't had their priorities straight for a while now.

Hey, anything that will bring more money into the game, make it more successful, is a good thing.

Microsoft has stated many times that they have no problem having crossplay with PS4. 

Sony is the one holding back. Sony only wants cross play for PS4 / PC.

Developers / Publishers are ready but Sony will not allow it.

If only Gazillion did the same with Marvel Heroes. They don't seem to like more money.

Well that sucks. Sony needs to pull their heads out their asses then. I knew they both kind of wanted to cooperate but that was before kotaku reported on this.

I don't see the game doing well on consoles without Crossplay though. 

Does Elder Scrolls Online have cross play? Because I understand their console versions are doing well.

How has the end game PvP turned out? Mostly zergs? Reason for large scale PvP or is it just something there?

That's in the works initiated by Microsoft. It's coming for many games so long as the developer's themselves support it. So if you see a game that should have it when it arrives, look no further than the shareholders or the developers because the tools will be there.

This is good news indeed for the console mmo crowd, they are of significant size and have been restricted to just a few options until recent years. I just hope for PC BDO players they don't do what ESO did. ESO's pc development froze for 4-6 months as the console version was pushed to be ready. Resulting in not just a lack of no content whatsoever, but even regular maintenance, bug fixes, balancing, etc. all disappeared or only existed to the minimal. In the long run it was probably worth it, after all 2/3 of their player base now are console players. Yet, they definitely chased away income from PC players that could of been kept with some better planning and care.

Recently moved from PC to Xbone, so this is good news. Bdo is literally one of the most beautiful games of all time in pc though, IDK how console will handle those graphics lol

Scorpio should handle it fine when it comes out later this year.

This is huge news it will do very well on the consoles.

The gui navigation is already a chore on PC, cant wait to see how they do it on consoles. I am ready for lulz

Good point. My fear though is that whatever console mods they make will find their way back to the pc version in a misguided merging of their development process.

Is this the new thing now? Porting PC MMOs to consoles?

It's a good thing. More systems = more potential players = better for the genre.

PvP is almost non-existent since the penalty removals and node wars and sieges are done by a tiny minority as reported in recent "BDO by numbers" infographic.

That makes me sad.

MMOs like this on consoles, no no no no no.

Does that mean that they'll make the game less awkward to play using a controller?

I really don't get this. This is where all the cash has gone instead of fixing the game, we get bad ports. Cool.
