Kenny Powers Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Could a future stretch goal potentially be extending to an Xbox or Playstation release? At a 2014 release date, we would likely be looking at the next-gen systems. Just curious what other posters or Obsidian faculty thought. thanks.
TiLT42 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Not going to happen. They've made it pretty clear that this is going to be a PC (and Mac/Linux, supposedly) release because they're tired of limiting game designs to what's possible on a console and its controller. 3
Gurkog Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) I don't think so Tim. It was stated in many places that they are looking forward to designing a game that does not need to be altered to fit the constraints of a console, mainly the limited functionality of a controller. EDIT: I was too slow! Edited September 17, 2012 by Gurkog Grandiose statements, cryptic warnings, blind fanboyisim and an opinion that leaves no room for argument and will never be dissuaded. Welcome to the forums, you'll go far in this place my boy, you'll go far! The people who are a part of the "Fallout Community" have been refined and distilled over time into glittering gems of hatred.
C2B Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 None. Avellone specifically mentions that he is glad not to have adjust the game to consoles. And Tablets would probably come first if they port it after release.
Infinitron Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I doubt Obsdian have the resources to do multiplatform development for this game even if they wanted to (which they don't). I imagine if it's a smash hit there's a chance of a port to whatever consoles are around in 2014.
Terror K Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Consoles have been ruining proper PC RPGs for too long as it is, IMO. Just look at the differences between Dragon Age: Origins being developed primarily for the PC and then it's so-called train-wreck of a sequel being developed primarily for the consoles. That alone is evidence enough that this game should be made for PC and only PC. 1

Sensuki Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I don't want to have my controls compromised by even the prospect of a console release.

That alone is evidence enough that this game should be made for PC and only PC. In all fairness, I don't think DA2's problems had anything to do with the platform it was being developed for. Some of them did, but not all of them. There's also EA, the rushed development cycle and a lot of their design decisions as a whole. But I do remember Mike Laidlaw pretty much outright stating that with DA2 consoles were the lead platform, and that's largely why the tactical camera went and the game became faster-paced and more action-oriented. Let's just say that it was a contributing factor amongst several many other issues.
Nakia Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I understand that it would be difficult to make an isometric game for consoles. Maybe if consoles upgrade and become less limited that could be done but first the consoles need to change. Games geared to consoles don't do so well when translated to PCs so which ever direction you go there would be problems. I have but one enemy: myself - Drow saying
Cryticus Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Please people lets not start a console war here, I just came here from Bethesda forum, and I have enough of this argument about which consol is better, and screams that consols are from imature kids and pc for intelectual. Let's get back to the topic, while I am mainly consol player ( I dont like upgradeing my pc on weekly bases, and there arent many exuclives to change my opinion) I think that PE needs to be a pure pc game, if it is suppposed to be a wink to our older generation of crpgs maniacs 1
max8472 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Consoles ruined videogames, not only RPGs, with simplified gameplay (I'm not referring to difficulty level, but to complexity level). So, please, please, PC only! "I feel stronger"
sesobebo Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 pledge towards that 2,2M stretch goal, slap a linux on that ps3, plug in a keayboard and a mouse, and you're all set!

Even monthly. Someone rich might maybe do it yearly. But weekly O.o?
mkreku Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I think it's too expensive to bring this game to consoles anyhow. The certification process to get a game on consoles is really costly. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Nakia Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Personally if at some later date Obsidian wants to make a console version that does not matter to me. The initial game is being made for the PC. The final decision is Obsidian's, If the initial game was being made for consoles I would not have pledged. However what ever other versions they end up making does not affect me. I am not against a console version as long as it does not affect the PC version in any way.

Badmojo Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 PC only, consoles are why there is so many few RPG's and the ones that are made are dumbed down action fests like DA2.
lolaldanee Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 pledge towards that 2,2M stretch goal, slap a linux on that ps3, plug in a keayboard and a mouse, and you're all set! now here's an interesting idea IF the game will run on a PS3 hardware
Virgil Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Consoles ruined videogames, not only RPGs, with simplified gameplay (I'm not referring to difficulty level, but to complexity level). So, please, please, PC only! what a bull***t I guess, you have never played Metal Gear Solid
Elerond Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) pledge towards that 2,2M stretch goal, slap a linux on that ps3, plug in a keayboard and a mouse, and you're all set! That will not work, because Obsidian will probably release linux version for x86(-64)-processors only and PS3 uses PowerPC variant processors and those two platforms (x86 and PowerPC) are not binary compatible.
