    the answer you will most likely get is " we don't know anything yet, wait for pax west and most if not all of your questions will be answered". or they could give you the " its a surprise, we don't want to ruin it for you, you just have to wait and see ". hopefully it will be the first one instead of the second one. cause every time they give us the second answer about anything, its been a huge letdown.

    if its a good surprise then i can wait , but if they say its a surprise and at end its a bad surprise then its gonna be really dissapointing. anyway at least one of those answer they could give to us (Console players) that are waiting for it since March .

    ive been waiting for answers also. im curious to know if I can play my account on console, if console will have the same content, and also if they will include older content in the consoles like island of dawn, not the island of destruction lol. also with the consoles, there are other games coming out for them. its cheaper to buy a console than a really good gaming pc.

    yea it is cheaper and easier to buy a console than a gamming PC but the thing is , those games that are coming to console like TERA/BDO/Blade and Souls and others , gonna have a huge downgrade like The Division had . The Division its a really good example cuz at begining when they showed the teaser, the game was supossed to have an amazing graphic , and at the end it was not even close what was showed to us , anyway i hope that this aint gonna happend with TERA and these other games that are coming .

    Demo will probably be solo gameplay, where the fps will be fine. It's when you try to run dungeons, do battlegrounds or just afk in Velika that the issues arise.

    i wonder if they use PS4 pro or regular PS4 on PAX

    A PC is indeed more expensive than console at 1st, like if you're starting on the PC thing (or you only have a crappy supermarket shelf PC), but once you've invested the initial blow, the upgrades to keep it up to date (and surpass console generations also) are cheaper than new consoles when they come out. Most of the time the only upgrade needed is only the graphics card, as processors have not evolved all that much since... 2011 or so, worst case scenario it's CPU, graphics card, motherboard and RAM, but it's rare for you to actually need to get all the 4 together for an upgrade.

    I honestly have faith that the console version of TERA will not be a downgrade, it will likely just have a redone UI system, have some hiccups every now and then on the FPS like PC does (tho not all the time), and likely lock it at 30 FPS Full HD (no 4K). I don't think they would need to do much much more than this, but if they really did give it all the love, then it could run flawlessly on the consoles. They do have enough power for it.

    You can also probably just get an old Dell Optiplex with an Ivy Bridge or Haswell i7 for cheap then add a 1050 (Ti) to it for a pretty decent budget gaming PC. You also have more options like PCs naturally do such as using a mouse and keyboard, web browsing, etc.

    That too. We can't rule out the OEM or even supermarket shelf PCs completely. Sometimes all the love they need is a power supply, graphics card, and one or two fans to push air inside and out, most of the time those PCs sell by their oh so good processor (and actually do have good/overkill processors) meanwhile no GPU at all, but the base is there: CPU with enough power, enough RAM, motherboard with slot, and all the rest you need for it to operate.

    No one knows and it'd be surprising if you got an official answer with the whole pax thing happening so soon anyway. Answering your question in any official way creates expectations for a product that's dodgy enough as it is (no word about this game that has framerate issues on beastly PCs for months, months, and now here it comes on a downgraded console, brought to you as-is in its vanilla ini format by the same developers who are known for being terrible at optimizing videogames) so it's just safer for them to say nothing at all.

    I'm curious about this as well, though, and I can't wait to see how the game performs on console hardware. Of course, standing in Velika won't be enough. I want to see how Tera on the PS4 stands up to an event raid like the argon one, or a daily rally. I'd love if they went out of their way to push the game and the console to its limits. I don't expect it to run well under those conditions, but it'd be interesting to see how it responded. Unfortunately they probably won't do this at all because the people running the show aren't dumb enough to make their product look sub-par on purpose, and so any footage we see will be of low leveled characters fighting basilisks outside the bastion of lok, while defenders of the console game point and say "see! See! 35 fps in a secluded zone while soloing a world BAM! It's a miracle!"
