Maybe Steam will run on Playstation 4, posible to have Paradox games on Console?

[Pugmak]

I'm not a "console gamer" type at all. I did get a PS3, but only for the blue ray thingy.

But, if PI games went console and kept the same "play style" (mouse and keyboard), I'd think about it.

72" HD TV on a console, vs 24" HD screen on my 'puter. That might sell me. And, I could play my game on my console+TV while surfing pron sites on my 'puter.

Ok. sold.

I think this may give a clue as to the direction PDS (at least) are moving: http://career.paradoxplaza.com/jobs/1305-skilled-developer-interested-in-tablet

I'm a big console gamer, so would be interested in PDS games on console (not least because they'd be forced to make the UI readable at distance in 1080p ), but for the grand strategy titles (all the current PDS games), it'd need mouse/kb support (perfectly achievable through bluetooth) as I suspect controlling with a pad of the controllers touchpad would be pretty finickity and painful. If I could play EUIV (or HoI3/4, Vicky 2 or CK2) on a PS4 with a mouse/kb, I'd get them in a hearbeat, BUT.....

.... on console, I think the audience for these games would be pretty small. I'd think it's only worth doing if it could be done pretty cheaply, and it'd likely need some kind of UI overhaul to support gamepads for people that didn't have a spare BT mouse/kb handy. Personally, while I'd love it, I can't see why it'd make business sense (noting I have _no_ information, market testing, etc, to base this view on beyond a vague hunch ). If, for some reason, it is being considered, I quite enjoyed RUSE with the Move controller being used as a pointer - may be an option on PS4? But I'd be very careful before doing this (porting PDS grand strategy titles to console), as I'd be surprised if it'd pass the cost/benefit test. If going down this path, CK2 would be the obvious first choice, as it seems to be the game that people find the most accessible, and has the broadest appeal.

Runemaster, on the other hand, should come to console as I think it'd bring in a decent number of fans (console gamers have traditionally been fans of tactical RPGs), it should be fairly easy to port over, and it's already having pad support built in (so there'd be no need to a UI redesign).

I would poop myself thrice over if they released their GSG on a mobile device. It sure would make these 5 16 hour shifts a lot better. Just thinking about dominating global trade as the hansa while at work, gives me a warm and fussy feeling all over.

I think that Paradox games can be played with a joystick. This video proved that:

If EU4 can be played with steam machine joystick than why can't be played with PS4, Xbox one or Wii U joysticks

The steam machine controller doesn't have a joystiq - it has a touchpad that emulates mouse movement. Unfortunately the grand strategy games we make would be more or less unplayable with a traditional gamepad with a stick.

The steam controller looks like a gamepad - but it isn't.

Doesn't the PS4 controller also have a touchpad?

Yes.

As a console gamer who tolerates PC to play my beloved Europa Universalis I'd love to see a PS4 port. I think it would work.

One of my desktops is connected to a 46" TV, and lets just say EUIV looks amazing

I watched Shams trying to play EU4 on the Steam pad, I have to say it wasn't the most convincing demonstration.

Maybe, in order to sell the idea, PDX should develop Rome 2 to run on it? :rofl:

There's a huge difference between "playable" and "ideal".
