PS4 & PS Vita Editions of Starbound

I've heard alot about this but there is no confirmed details about it so if you find any news about it post it here please!

 

Well there's the PS4 trailer as evidence on the Playstation channel.

As it stands, the best version will be the PC version, as is with most games of this style. I feel the game would work quite well on a WiiU however, due to the touch screen.

 

PS4 has a touch pad and built in pointer function, both can easily remove the difficulty of mouse driven inventory and building. After that it's just a platformer which works much easier on consoles and controller.
PC gets mods but Sony is developing a workshop feature.

Not saying either is ultimately better beyond preference, just saying it's not as black and white as people seem to think

 

People are still not used to the idea of mods on consoles since it is a pretty new development and for a while PC version of the games where the only real moddable/hackable versions outside of weird tricks like the Twilight Princess save load bug or using an Action Replay/Game Genie type deal.

Interesting to see the gap between PC and Consoles in terms of what you can do to games is closing.

Also a note: The trailer is a remix on the PC one. I wondered at first when I heard there was a trailer how they were going to show off the game for a system they were not yet working on for it.

Also wanted to note I will not be buying the game again (and do not own the consoles anyway) but I do wish future starbound console players the best.

 

It's good you made this thread I have yet to see anyone ask this before. I personally will stick to my pc copy because I can enjoy mods ans smother gameplay. I hold nothing against those that want to get the console version but I pre ordered this so I am getting the pc version meaning their is no real point for me atleast to get the console version.

You are correct sir

well i am eager to play SB on consoles and then just have to wait till bit more longer for the game to grow and take shape later

 

Hitting consoles will be a nice addition but if it'll be anything like how Terraria works on consoles, I'll stick to PC.

 

Yeh there are web pages that say Starbound is set to release this year on PS Vita so who knows?!

 

PS Vita has a touch screen as well but it's the fact of having Starbound in your pocket that would be nice

 

Found some more info about the releases for PS4 and PS Vita

http://www.cinemablend.com/m/games/...ox-adventure-coming-to-ps4/box-One-63329.html[DOUBLEPOST=1409180690][/DOUBLEPOST]Here is an acctual video of an interview with someone from Chuckle Fish talking about the PS4 an PS Vita realeases

 

Personally, I found the console versions of Terraria to be extremely clunky (in terms of controls.) At times, Starbound is very hard to control so I don't think I'd ever buy it on a console, but controls are not the only reason why.

The community has built quite a lot of unique and awesome mods, many of which I use. To me it would seem like a waste to throw away that kind of customization for something like more developer created exclusive console content... which probably would be the only incentive to buy the console version. Although development is going as slow as ever, I'm sure by the time Starbound is initially released, there will be so much content for it that we wouldn't need another version.

If you'd really like to take Starbound wherever you go, a laptop seems appropriate, as my toaster could probably run it, but, as far as I know, the Nvidia Shield is compatible with most steam games, so you'd probably be able to play it on that. Although, I'm not sure how optimized it would be. Again, only speculation, I don't own an Nvidia Shield, but if you can afford to buy a PS Vita and a PS4, I'm sure you could buy one.

 

I think that they should start optimizing the game, it has already enough blocks & items for now. More quests would be nice too and STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS!!!!
I don't know why, but I like achievements, it is like having a goal in the game

 

It might be the feeling of getting a reward for a task. Feels nice to get rewarded for a task.

 

Not to sound ungrateful, but I honestly don't care. I certainly can't afford the ridiculously overpriced PS4, and a PS Vita doesn't particularly appeal to me either. I'd really prefer if they focused on the PC version first, THEN sorted out if they want to put stuff on the console. All saying they're releasing it on these other systems now does is generate unnecessary hype in my opinion. The game isn't even out of stage 1 freaking development step...why are they already looking into expanding to other platforms?

 

Keep calm, they are not actively developing for any platform other then the PC. The announcement about the PS4/Vita back before beta when I believe Sony asked them about porting the game and they PlayStation community gave them a resounding yes (Community here was MEH because we are mostly PC gamers). They have said they will not begin any work on the port till after the official release of the PC version.

Hope this helps.

 

i dont realy think its worth talking about at this stage as its been a potential future port for a long time...

why was this topic ressurected and by whom is my question...

at this stage this is a breeding ground for disscontent in my book ...

and people will most likely say "wtf they arent even done with the pc version wth are they thinking"

not trying to stir the pot just saying ... the devs dont need anymore pushing for other ports at this stage in development they have their hands full...

its a good way to overwhelm them if people start wanting them to port it NOW.. if you know what i mean..

sure it would be nice for console gamers but its no simple task to port it to console different code different demands different controls...
i am sure glad im not a developer ... i donot envy their job or position...

 

Oh god, oh good god. PS4 and Starbound. Oh god. Oh shit. Someone get me a doctor, I'm going to vomit with joy.

PC always wins with games like these though due to modding support and all them goodies.

 

not sure if it was trolling but please refrain from doing it again :S and let me tell you that um we console players will be waiting for it after the PC release later on.. then we will get it later as well.. so we are usually patience with the developers here so take your trolling out please
