We have the right to know

Recommended Posts

I'm opening this Topic because the PS5 is coming soon and no official announcement has been made regarding the porting of the game to the PS5 nor the (shitty) server compatibility that Nitrado offers.
This is not acceptable, we have the right to know before the release of the console in order to be able to prepare the transition as well as possible.
I'm speaking as an administrator of a Roleplay server and the financial investment not to mention the time spent to offer a quality gaming experience to our players in order to build a cool community on the console is already hard, but the arrival of the PS5 without information from Bohemia makes us ask questions that I think (and I'm certainly not the only one) deserve answers:
- Will the game be available on PS5?
- If it will:
     * Will we have to buy it back or will the license currently paid for be valid?
     * Will the Nitrado server be able to handle PS4/PS5 cross-play connections? (silly question, but with Nitrado you can't be sure of anything....)
- is it planned one day to be able to have SDKs for Playstation servers ? or failing that, a choice of provider for hosting ? ( the monopoly by Nitrado poses a problem because it is a monopoly... but especially because they are bad, incredibly bad even)

Hoping to be heard, I know that I am not the only one asking myself these questions.

I believe they said in one twitter post that if the PS5/Xbox can run backwards compatible there should not be a problem playing it. Now since you are on PS you run your server off the website, connecting to Dayz and playing on your server should be no problem. Will there be a port? Probably not, most of the new hardware is boosting the processing power which is what causes problems like load in especially for PS users and you don't want to split the userbase between 4 different consoles running a bunch updates for a relatively small team.

The whole thing is down to Sony and MS for how easy the game will translate...more than likely no issues. Besides it can run 4K or whatever resolution they mock things up as now.
