starbound coming to the ps4 in 2014

Misspelled Wii U

 

Imho I think the gameplay would be cool on both. Yet I highly doubt it would be put on either or. Due to the fact Nintendo has been picky about what they choose to promote for games.

 

1. I feel like there's absolutely no demand for a console port for starbound, the audience that exists is a niche and exists almost entirely on pc.

2. Why do Chucklefish always get ahead of themselves, it's hilarious to watch. It's like they're more interested in selling their game (not as in making money, but just being business people) than actually developing their game. I know people get upset about missed estimates, and I know people defend them by saying they're only estimates, but when you miss estimates made by yourself over and over and over it's a little embarrassing. I mean come on, they thought they'd have the game out by the middle of last year, now I'd be surprised if we see the actual release before 2016, which is really sad.

3. I'm worried that them wanting to get it to consoles and being more interested in selling is (is going to) slowing (slow) down progress, as if it's possible.

 

lol but yeah good idea because it is bit same to Terraria's PS3 controls but w/e.. good idea to add this

 

Heh yeah, but also the same as many other control schemes. It's not just a flat copy but one of the more comfortable ways to arrange certain buttons that get used at the same time like attack and jump etc.
If it aint broke

Don't take this to heart due to our interactions elsewhere, just chewin the fat on a good subject.

1. The same could be said about Minecraft and Terraria. Yet sales for both on console and even *shudders* IOS would strongly show otherwise. The Sony forums erupted back when Tiy announced the port there by asking if people wanted it.

2.

3. Work on the port will be done after the game reaches the complete phase and another team will be working on it so it won't have any effect on the PC version.

 

thanks for replying me back on this post and answers to Question One.. yeah people went into meltdown when they wanted Tiy to port it over to PS4.. it will show such as strong sale...bit off-topic but 505 games just announced that Terraria will be ported over to Xbone and PS4 so it will smashing the records up there along with Minecraft coming out on August and Starbound that far off... such building game madness

 

sorry, but i call bullsh*t

 

What? what do you mean Bull****?

 

Starbound just wouldn't ..... like... It won't be good on xbox/ps3 especially xbone and ps4. Terraria on console is bad enough.

 

yeah it was bad but then it patched lots of problems like 1-2 weeks ago so you got to give them some credits.. then they announced Terraria will be hitting PS4/Xbone soon.. so you got to be patienced with them and report buys vice and via so they will be a better game in long run..

 

Excuse me, but I have been playing starbound with a ps3 controller since I bought it, and it plays amazing, responsive intuitive. Games like this are made to be played in consoles. I can't wait to chucklefish to bring this amazing game to my ps4 as I never play on pc but I had to set everything up with my living room full of cables to play this game.
So please chucklefish port the game already and you will earn loads of money

 

Whatever, m8, I'm not gonna h8 on you, even though you're h8'in on me. It's just my opinion, I don't think It would work out like that.

 

I just have so much hype on this game for the ps4 that I can't resist to hate on anybody that don't support the ps4 release xddd, don't worry man, all cool, trust me that will be great for the game and it will only improve its popularity and sales look at the success Minecraft has had in consoles and terraria

 

exactly.. which it takes time to do so.. ever then for now... Tiy got his team of developers working non-stop but not on the weekends for now.. they stopped slowing down to get a fast process like last few months ago and i believe Tiy had sorted out the trouble with having to wait for each person to submit online patches from different areas so thats why it was slowing down.. so it will be good process to move up the beta stage... on the ladder

 

Starbound would be a disgrace to itself if it came to a handheld, but I'm not really against PS4 entry if this is true.

 

lol Kayle LoL Champion... nice btw i liked her xD but stopped played LoL while ago.. so um
back on-topic.. yeah if they put in Vita... it would have frame issues like with terraria.. sometimes you move smoothly or sometimes you lag like a screen splitting down on Vita but not on PS3.. That PS3 can handle the 1.2 update so far smoothly enough so it's good idea to port to PS4 which is PC friendly programming and more powerful then PS3 to handle all the weather, enemy mobs, building a nice base, add new races..

 

No malice intended but the majority of the controls could easily be transferred to controller.
The only tricky parts are the ones that require mouse movements such as building and inventory management. The PS4's touch pad could easily be used to make this much easier and also another aspect I forgot about earlier was the built in pointer function the control uses.
It could be as simple as holding a button and having the pointer appear on the screen, controlled by simple movements of the controller itself.
You could even allow modification of the buttons to allow for people to tweak it as they please.

It has never been about games being bad for controller, it's about how practically the developer transfers them.
(Not including extensively specialised games such as fighters or RTS)

 

Ah. forgot about the touch pad. Did i mention I like xbox over ps3/4? That might of been useful to know.

 

You never know, they haven't dismissed the possibility of porting to the xbox in the future.

I mean both of us will prob stick to the PC version anyway, but it's good to see CF getting themselves out there. Not many publishers are willing to help indie developers without taking the lions share of the profits so they need to cover as much ground as possible.
More power to them.

 

*imagines epic AAA game by ChuckleFish*

So true. Publishers can suck my straw. (cause I'm milk, geddit, hehehehehehe)

You can't play a game of that type on a screen so small. Wii U's are good for like showing the inventory on the gamepad, and everything else on the TV. But MOBILE. think of Terraria. Playing it on about a 3-4 inch by 1.8-2.2 inch phone depending on which one you have just is impossible, unless you hold your phone a centimeter from your face. The only way you could really successfully play Terraria/Starbound on ios would be an Ipad. the big ones.
