Separate PS4 board

I would like to request that a PS4 board be created. There are some significant differences between the PC version and the PS4 version which I will briefly highlight below.

  1. Patches: For PC it is possible to play the game on a previous patch. This allows for glitches that simply cannot be performed on PS4 version. The largest of these glitches are the damage that the Elite bat and other melee weapons do to bosses. Honestly this should be reason enough to have a separate board because comparing them is pointless.

  2. The parachute trick can not be performed in the same way that it can be on the PC version. The PS4 makes you hold the parachute button down for about a second before deploying it and is placed on one of the analogue sticks used for movement. This cannot be remapped on the PS4. On PC it is simply a button press with no 1 second delay. This may not seem like much but it means that a really key trick in the game where you access the roof stash simply cannot be completed as early. This is also relevant in a few other places throughout the game.

These two reasons make comparing PS4 runs to PC runs laughable. It is simply not competitively possible to compete against PC runs using the PS4 and therefore in my opinion the PS4 should have its own categories on this board.

I would assume the XBOXOne would also need its own boards but I have not played the game on that platform and cannot comment on the differences. I would assume the patching thing I mentioned earlier would be very relevant though.

I agree that PC and Console should be separated for these reasons. We can put PS4 and Xbox in a console cateory together.

I don't know enough about the xbox one version to have an opinion about whether or not it should be grouped in with the PS4.
