PS4 Multiplayer Performance

[Antiloop]

Hi, I am considering purchasing a PS4 but would like to hear from current PS4 owners what their experience has been with playing multiplayer games like BF4 etc.

Also what ADSL line speed you are playing on

As far as I understand the servers are based in Europe.

Thanks in advance.

I can't comment on BF4 but in Killzone SF the lag is barely noticeable. It's like playing on local servers.
Guess it also depends on the games netcode etc.

I'm using 3G and no real problems using the PS4 so far.

Thanks very much for the reply, great to know that it is playable.

I'm running a 4mb line and I play most of the MP games currently out.

BF4 - The performance was pretty good to start with but the latest patch has dealt with a lot of latency problems people were having, the game is silky smooth now. It's especially impressive as the servers are in the EU, it's like playing a local game with a tad bit more lag.

Ghosts - Can't say much here. Local games are lag free while internationals are laggy.

KZ - The lag is much like BF4's, it's there but hardly noticeable.

Fifa - I have no fucking idea why Fifa lags for me but it does, it's always been that way though, my line shits itself when I play Fifa.

There are times when I'm downloading a 2gig game or patch and I can still play BF4 or KZ with next to no lag, which is incredible for my little 4mb line

Perfect! Thanks for letting me know about all the different game.

I think I am going to buy it, noticed Phoenix-tech have it for sale with Second Son for R6999 but they don't seem to reply to mails or answer their phone.

10mb business line.
On international servers there is minor lag once a minute or so, depending on the game.

But I cannot comment on BF4...yet

Having an unshaped line helps quite a bit

i have a 10mbps line and bf4 lags like a Beeeeach... problem is not the internet but the game, apparently they have found the issue and are working on a fix...

I wish they actually just waited and released a properly working game.

STAY AWAY from phoenix tech

It depends on the game. I play warframe, bf4 and killzone. 90% of the time i have no issues but occasionally there is some lag.

Given that most of PS4 titles deploy some sick looking graphics, then it's still early to find out the exact answer for that. Maybe in the near future, Sony will improve this system and better its speed.
