    For those who don't know, Everquest Next is Minecraft in HD (more precisely *in Voxels*) meeting Fantasy MMORPG, coming with more modern actiony combat and expanded movement systems. Here's an extremely early trailer...

    John Smedley, President of SOE, recently confirmed on a Reddit *Ask Me Anything* thread that a PS4 version is definitely coming. No further details were given though. It's unclear if it will release day and date with the PC version, if console and PC players will share servers, and so forth.

    I wonder if that means we'll get Everquest Next Landmark on PS4 soon? I'd love to try out its creation tools.

    That it's coming to PS4 makes me glad. I hardly see my current PC handling Everquest Next all too well, and it'll be awhile before I invest in an all-new box. This'll keep the pressure off to do so a little longer. I'm also excited to play an all-new MMO on the TV with a gamepad.

    I had assumed it would, but it's nice to have confirmation. After Final Fantasy XIV, I don't think I'm really interested in playing an MMO without a gamepad. Hopefully the PS4 version shapes up well.

    FUCK YES BITCHES.

    Sorry, let me compose myself. EverQuest is my favorite game of all time. From the moment EQ Next was announced, I was hoping deep down, that Sony would also fetch it to Playstation. Obviously I know next to nothing about the game, but it gives me reason to be super excited. This would absolutly be a game to get my to make the leap into next gen.

    Jesus, Smedley is still around?

    FYI, dude was personally responsible for some of the most dickish and fun-breaking re-balances in Everquest back in the day. D&D nerd. Fuck that guy.

    I thought they confirmed it would be on next gen consoles when they announced the game?

    Nope, they had no answer by then. Likely they first had to build a complete enough version of the game to make a feasibility study or something. Their ambitions seem quite taxing to hardware to me. Really glad the PS4 seems to have made the cut, resources-wise.

    I've been keeping a close eye on this game so it's good to know I will actually be able to play it. I don't have a gaming PC and don't plan on having one anytime soon sadly.

    As someone who frequents quite a few MMO websites, this is both great news and literally the worst thing ever. It's great news because now I'm personally excited for the PS4 version as that's the one I'll be playing. It's literally the worst thing ever because now any time anyone has a problem with the game, I have to read some comment along the lines of "omg [insert something about the game here] sucks because the game had to be dumbed down for kiddie consoles. I'll go play a real game where the developer cares about their real playerbase."

    No, you guys don't understand. Muthafuckas be out there with pure vitriol running through their veins. I've seen some fanboys in my time, but these dudes on MMO sites act like a Playstation raped and murdered their parents or some shit.
