dallas 5195 Posted February 26, 2014 Do you guys remember how it all started? Paraphrasing Rocket: "Sure if we succeed, consoles is the logical next step, port DayZ to consoles or casio wrist watches or tibetan ceremonial bongo drums and windchimes, I don't care. As long as it wont affect the PC version and as long as I don't have to do it." Paraphrasing the kids: "W00T CONSOLE VERSION CONFIRMED!!!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16185 Posted February 26, 2014 Hello there But it shows it can be done with a complex game like OFP/Arma. And as its been done before any new port will be easier than if it had not been done. Rdgs LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrLoK 16185 Posted February 27, 2014 Ah okay, I thought you were ridiculing the appearance of the port!Hello there, Sorry, my bad, i was on several chats at once and moderating. My point was that there is precedent for this as its been done before, albeit a less powerful game on a less powerful system, but none the less still the RV engine. So there has been a pipeline in place and the team have had experience in porting to consoles. rgds LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hellcat420 212 Posted March 5, 2014 If it does: At least 2 years.. Im quite serious. will be longer than that most likely, and that is if it even is ported to consoles in the first place, which is not guaranteed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted March 5, 2014 even is ported to consoles Sony and MS have already offered help and funding to ensure this happens.. it most likely will as the porting is straightforward and the money is REALLY GOOD. With that said though, it will be at least a full year before this game is in final release and out of beta. After that they can sign contracts, and port over to consoles. And make more millions.

Actually...it's going to be almost a full year until the game is IN Beta, though that timeframe may be moved up seeing as how the Pretty much doubled the team currently working on Dayz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because you work for Bohemia and know the details of the offers(assuming there have been legit offers), right? I would be surprised if the game was finished for the PC by the end of 2016 and then it would be at least another 2 years of porting it over to the consoles. To be honest, I doubt DayZ will EVER see the light of day on consoles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMentMan 707 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) IF it does, it will be when the pc version is complete, like 3 years maybe? Edited March 5, 2014 by DMentMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted March 5, 2014 You watch that font around here! We don't like no weird fonts in these parts... As for PS4....more like PS6. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFRGaming 718 Posted March 5, 2014 Even ported to consoles, I don't see it ending well. DayZ just feels like a PC game and no other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWanderingMan 170 Posted March 5, 2014 They'd have to dumb it down for controller use or use silly menu systems that'd detract from the gameplay (more than the current ones). I don't think it's going to happen tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terminal_boy 860 Posted March 5, 2014 Forget dumbing it down for the controller, imagine the video settings needed to hold 30 FPS given that a top-end, Haswell-powered gaming rig can drop into the low 30s in Cherno... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted March 5, 2014 No pad issues for dayz.....dayz in fact dummed out a lot of functionality out of arma2 (mainly squad based stuff, and a lot of basebuilding mechanics) Tho I am happy to see some of that coming back into the mod (like we can now move and rotate tents beore placing them). Still arma 2 still had 360 controller support, even with all the extra communication/squad orders menus. I hope it does find its way to consoles eventually, more money for BI is a good thing. Maybe even pumps the chance of a sequal. That being said I don't see it happening. Only if they finish on or ahead of schedule. Any serious delays and itl be old news by the time they get it done :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chekovp 89 Posted March 5, 2014 The SA supports 360 controllers, but I haven't actually tried to use it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qliqqlaq 17 Posted March 5, 2014 Well, even IF they port the game for consoles: it will be hardly restricted in features/performance/quality and last but not least: the controls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyriot 1009 Posted March 5, 2014 This a literal demonstration of the development roadmap. If you keep watching you'll spot the End of Alpha roadsign, next to the Beta and console version branching off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deebz1234 243 Posted March 5, 2014 I used to use an xpadder mapped xbox 360 controller with DayZ...lets just say I didnt win nearly as much pvp battles as i do now. It is quite comfortable to sit back on the couch and play on a 50" lcd, however its just not "right". Something about it...i dont know. 10x prefer keyboard and mouse and a 144hz 22" monitor in my face As for performance...i dont even think ps4 and xbox 1 have enough juice to play SA. Arent the ps4 and xbox1 like 2ghz 8core? I mean, im running quad core 4.25 ghz and only get 60 fps if the stars are aligned lol.my quad core 2.5 ghz struggles to maintain a reasonable fps on high pop.

Girth Brooks 570 Posted March 5, 2014 It will be like playing battlefield on the consoles. Dumbed down. I doubt the casual 12 yr old with a ps4 would be interested in a game as brutal as this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
