CK Console DD #1: Vision and Goals!

[Camel Turkish Blend]

Is this the reason game got only two dlcs in two years

I just love playing while laying on the couch. I’ll put the small amount of work into learning a controller UI because it will enable significantly more laziness in the future.

I can't understad either. But they've done this with Stellaris so it must have been a success otherwise they wouldn't do the same with ck3.

Stellaris on console is actually really good. I say that as a mainly PC player

 

[Filip de Norre]

I am actually a little confused. Can anyone tell me the difference between an adaption and a port. How will CK3 be different on console? Is it only a matter of UI and controls?

pretty much, though with the other games they can be a patch or two behind PC

Thanks for the answer. However in gaming as in life, the devil is in the details.

Which are next to nothing...

Seems like its a separate team working on the port and having given up console gaming over a decade ago this doesn't affect or interest me in the slightest.
I hope DLC / development / bug fix resources are not wasted on the console version > the Pc version.

Stellaris is less centered on characters and need way less finding due to this. In CK, I use very frequently the characters finder, so need to type character name, traits, etc. It will be a major hurdle to play on console.

Will the console UI be an option in the pc version too? It would make playing via Steamlink a lot more enjoyable.

Since launch, I don't think I've searched for a character by name in the character finder a single time.

What's your reason for doing it?

To see how long Haestienn survived. Although I think his name has an "ae" symbol in it and I dunno how to type that into the search box.

What about mod support?

 

[Ratlord420]

Hopefully this means they'll bugfix and balance since consoles can't rely on mods for it

Sony doesn't allow it is my understanding

If they do, this console version may be the best thing that ever happened to the game. Unless they fix things for the console but leave them alone for the PC version, heh.

There will unfortunately not be any support for modding on the console versions. This might change down the road, but there are very significant technical issues and limitations preventing us from adding it in now. If we ever do it, we want to do it right.
