"We release an intentionally shit version on PC so PS4 users feel superior."
What exactly is the reasoning behind this except boosting PS4 sales?

Judging by their statement on UI it could also be that they don't care about the platform and are just releasing a crappy port, but decided use that to plug the PS4 version.

Most likely? The PC version is based on the code and assets of the PS3 version and didn't get any new content updates or dev time.

Yeah. Uh. No.
[QUOTE]MMOG.Asia has released a picture detailing Kingdom Under Fire 2's system requirements, and to much surprise, it only needs a 2.4 GHz dual-core CPU and 256 MB graphics card, with 2 GB of system RAM, via WorldsFactory.
The free-to-play title was featured in an official video demonstrating how well the game runs on an Intel 8400 with a GeForce 7600, a modest configuration to say the least.[/QUOTE][url]http://news.softpedia.com/news/Kingdom-Under-Fire-2-Vid-Reveals-Incredibly-Low-System-Requirements-411268.shtml[/url]
You can blame them for anything but a shitty port, they apparently put a lot of effort into it:

It's a shit port if they're intentionally pointlessly dumbing down the graphics from the console version on it.

Out of all the shit we had to tolerate in the last couple of years, like crappy performance, ridiculous hardware requirements, non-rebindable keys, missing settings, 30 FPS debacles... You decide to flip your table because the devs say that the graphics are going to be better on PS4 when you don't even have any kind of material to compare that?
Get your priorities straight, man.
I'm confused, why not make it for PC and then downgrade it for console? It's completely backwards to do it the other way around.

If this is a shit port, please tell me what Dark Souls, Need for Speed: Rivals and GTA 4 are.

Dude, they said that PS4 graphics will be better, that's them directly saying they intentionally dumbed down the visuals on the PC version, I don't know how else can you take that as.

I'd call it a decent PC port with intentionally shitty graphics to annoy PC users. I mean, I feel the same way about this as everyone, but just because they dumbed down the max graphics for no good reason you can't ignore the fact that you can run this game smoothly on a PC that is 7 or 8 years old while the game itself is still looking good.

shit ports?

GTA 4 was badly optimized (like all the gta games before) but otherwise it was good and has modding capabilities.
Need for Speed Rivals works fine for me everything maxed but no AA but the game sucks and has nothing on most wanted 2005.
Dark Souls I'm not interested.
CONSOLES WIN AGAIN

I hope you aren't implying that people defended the "quality" of the PC ports of those games, because no one did.

A lot of people defended the Dark Souls and GTA 4 ports. Nobody cares about NFS:R.
At least I can say the game is fun and free, so you wouldn't be supporting poor business practice if you don't buy anything from the store.
then I guess they don't care about money

they're good games but you'd have to be high to think they're a good port at all
a poop is still a messy bloody diarrhea whether it felt good coming out or not.
The Dark Souls port was basically the company's first attempt at porting a game to PC.
Let alone the fact that we don't know what the budget for the port was at the time makes a mix of chance that it ran decently on PC.
I don't really see too big of an issue, sure it's just them saying that they don't want to work too hard on the PC port, but whatever. They're confident in having full focus on the playstation and good on them.
It's not a matter of them cranking down the pc graphics or something retarded like that, it's purely because they've focused extensively on optimizing the game for the PS4's hardware, and have managed to squeeze the most out of it that they could. They just don't want to have to go through doing all sorts of mega optimization when the PC isn't even remotely near their core audience.
It's just their confidence in the PS4 and the market it'll bring, now whether that's warranted confidence is a totally different topic, though it is their product at the end of the day.
Also, Deadly Premonition. Dear god, that port was absolutely terrible.

You're right but it's not the customer who's responsible for doing basic QA.

I think it was somebody from the Dark Souls devs who basically said "Yeah, uh, we don't care about the quality of the port, we just want to finish it as soon as possible.".
Like I said, I wouldn't call it a shit port, but it's not a good port either then. It will probably be decent. To say more I'd need to see some video comparisons.
i'm not surprised it runs well on eight year old hardware, that's about how long this fucking game's been in development
But to be honest I don't care if it looks like Dune: Battle for Arrakis. All I want is a decent god damn Kingdom Under Fire game on PC. Literally nothing has ever come close to the experience of The Crusaders.
Trampling hundreds of zombies under the boots of your knights while you jump in yourself to cleave a scorpion in two. Hooking your archers up with a caster so that you can combine your arrow volleys with meteors. That ultra satisfying sound every time you upgraded a squad's stats or weaponry, all those cool looking squad leaders, all those shiny expensive weapons, all of the different tactics and approaches.
If they can just keep their heads out of their asses long enough to not fuck up all of that, I'm good.
also, I don't care how scantily clad and oiled up regnier is, playing as him was one of the coolest experiences in videogame history for me. Nothing beats going up against impossible odds, only to activate super saiyan mode and personally annihilate whole troop formations with a single sword swing.

[QUOTE]"This is going to sound bad but our main priority was to get the game onto the PC as fast as possible, because people wanted it on the PC," Miyazoe said. "The PC market in Japan is so minimal that originally there were no plans to make it on the PC, but with the strong petition from the North American and European fans, even with the lack of experience of working on a PC platform we still did our best to try to get it out as fast as possible. [The problems] were expected to a certain extent.
"We did know there were PC-specific features like key-mapping and use of the mouse and keyboard, high resolution and higher frame rate, stuff like that, but… It’s not that we ignored it, but it would have taken too much time for us to implement it, test it and get it up to the level people expected. It was more of a publisher (Namco Bandai) decision to say, ‘Guys, don’t worry about this – let’s just get it out and see how this works on PC.’"[/QUOTE]

Let's face it: the game won't work well or sell well on PC when it always runs at 30fps, in 720p and has no options menu to speak of.
Edited:
Wait it's a MMORPG? It's already failed on PC.
It will only look better on PS4 than PC if they do a shitty port.
