“We're running right now [at] 1080p, peaking over 60 frames per second. We still have a lot of optimization to do.”

It was previously confirmed that Planetside 2 ran at native 1080p on PlayStation 4 , but now we have confirmation from SOE that the game will also run at 60 frames per second on Sony's console, making it one of the most technically impressive feats for an MMO running on a home console. Gamespot managed to get in some talk-time with SOE's creative director for, Matt Higby, who talked over some impressive gameplay that was on display at this year's E3.

However, while some people may claim they can't see a difference in resolution (even though if you play a game on PC and go from 640 x 480 to 800 x 600 the difference is remarkably irrefutable) the one thing that actually does affect gameplay is frame-rate.Using 60fps as a selling point for a game ensures that players are getting an exceptionally smooth experience with low-latency input response times and lesser strain on the eyes. If Sony continues to use the frame-rate benchmark to outdo the competition, it could easily continue to maintain a lead just based on providing better multiplatform support for some of the biggest games on the market.While there's still no release date rolled out foron the PlayStation 4, we at least know that the game is progressing rather well on Sony's console and that they are aiming for some pretty high specs for the game.If you can't wait to get your hands onfor the PS4, you can play it right now, for free, on PC by heading on over to the official website
