Id say if World of Warships was announced for the PS4 people would go insane in Japan considering the kancolle craze is still strong.
 
That would be cool I guess, especially if World of Warplanes and World of Warships came too. The real interesting thing is that the PS4 could have the World of Tanks/Warplanes/Warships series and War Thunder (which, once the battleship component comes out, will also have planes, tanks, and battleships).

PS4-PC cross-platform play would be amazing.

WarThunder on PC and PS4 has it and Xbox One/PC World of Tanks does also.

Re: cross play... How is this going to work unless MS has changed their cross play policies (which would be great)

I don't mean cross play between PS4 and Xbox One, I mean PS4 and PC. There should be nothing stopping it (i.e. War Thunder currently, Street Fighter V next year).

Right. But doesn't WoT Xbox currently cross play with PC? So wouldn't that mean that WoT PS4 cross play with PC also include Xbox players? So either WoT devs have to add code to not allow PS4+Xbox cross play, or MS has changed their policies.

WoT only has cross play between 360 and Xone, no console and PC.

Official announcement page:
http://console.worldoftanks.com/en/news/announcements/world-of-tanks-playstation-4/

Looks like its going to be a straight port of the Xbox one version. The XB1 version is cross play with 360, not PC. So it appears the PS4 version is going to be its own entity. Remember the XB versions arent 100% identical to the PC version. They are close but there are differences - this makes PC vs PS4 unlikely.

The devs would like to do crossplay with XB and PS but they say its out of their hands. Also theres lots of talk of exclusive talk in the announcement but they say its mostly all timed - and all console versions will remain in sync update wise. From a dev on the WoT forums:
To clear a few things up.

- Exclusives are generally just for a set time
-Exclusive tanks are skin based, think T1E6-X1
-Features, etc. all platforms will remain in sync
-Cross play PS4 vs Xbox, I'd love to but that is way out of WG's hands.

As someone whos invested alot of time into the XB versions theres no way in hell I would start up a new serious account again. The grind was super real. Very good news to get the game to new users though. Its a great game.

Ahhh, that makes sense then. Thanks.

Good info, thanks.
 
I'll probably play the hell out of this. I just hope they can tweak the interface a bit. Feels massive for 1080p.

I do second them bringing World of Warships over, though. That'd be amazing.

Seriously speaking I would love it if both of them managed to make their way to PS4.
Hopefully we can sync our accounts and not have to start from scratch.

Just a few more tidbits:

-PS4 version will be 1080p 30fps (same as XB1)

-While its not happening, when asked if cross platform between PS4 and XB is even possible the dev says quote: "Sadly its not a technical challenge".

-PS4 version will run on its own server. XB1/360 run on the same server. PC is separate from console versions.
