    The interface looks gorgeous, but damn, still no hands on PS4 and am using old PS3.

    So now you know what the Sony thing is. Hope it makes more sense now and why I described it as I did in the previous threads.

    I was hoping with all the changes you've been making, this game would continue to last and now I'm even more hopeful.

    I wasn't going to buy a ps4 ever, I guess i'm forced now. I'm kinda curious how it's going to port over to playstation, I mean I feel like it will have a lot of bugs and movement won't be fluent. Hoping for the best though.

    Admittedly, it's a bit of a challenge trying to wrangle the appropriate controls for Pox. But in terms of how the game runs in terms of abilities/mechanics, that isn't changing.

    To be clear, the PC client will be the same, so even if you play on PC you'll get the upgrade.

    Since it's a full client rewrite, this will bypass all the audio/lag issues in the current client as well (as I explained before, this is why it's taking so long to fix those... it wasn't worth spending a few months fixing that in the old client when we knew we'd be doing this).

    A bit of a noob question, but does that mean that someone playing on a PC can be matched with someone playing on a PlayStation? Cause that would be awesome

    So is the server right now gonna be a cross-platform one(for pc and ps4) or is it 2 separate servers? Cause if it is the later, I can tell you right now, it wont work.

    Seems like a player using a mouse would have an advantage over one using a PlayStation controller.

    THIS IS AWESOME NEWS! Looks like I am buying a PS4. Wait what is vita? Small touch screen thing? If pox works well on that I am going that route.

    I worry about lag as I did with every game that went from pc to a console. I don't think matchmaking between someone using a ps4 and pc would be fair, the lag and the amount of power it takes to run pox on a computer versus ps4 is huge. For the price of a ps4 I can build a computer twice as fast and twice as powerful. Also the work load a ps4 would need to play this game will be interesting for sure.

    As DMR said I hope they address more then just client quality of life fixes and work on user experience. Would be great if they could also improove AI, so it can acutally help players get better, not worse like it is current AI.

    Also the categories on the main menu could be better. How about single player and multiplayer, like every other game? But of course giving some focus on multiplayer.
