What is the expected full release date for this game

[Morgan]

What is the expected release date for the completed version of this game for both Consoles and PC? Is this game coming to Consoles? I'm want to play this game on Consoles more than PC

[fauxpas]

I don't think anyone knows.

It would be nice if the creators gave us some idea of a release date

I don't think the devs have any plans to release on console. Maybe if the PC release does well they might consider it. They have said before that they have a general release date in mind but are keeping it to themselves to avoid disappointment if they have to push it back.

Generally that's a good move, but with another life sim in development I think being too quiet is a mistake as hype will be lost.

It is not a good move at all because if Paralives is trying to compete with other games such as The Sims and Life By You and those other games can be played on any system and Paralives can only be played on PC then everyone will just buy the other games instead of Paralives. When one game is releasing only only 1 system and their competitors are releasing on almost all systems then what that says to the customer is that the game that is releasing on all of the systems is better than the game releasing on 1 system.

Not to PC gamers it doesn't... console ports run poorly and have artificial limitations because it has to run on multiple (and often inferior) hardware.


The upside is simply a larger pool of customers that can often make up for releasing an inferior product.

Tell that to Cities Skylines players.

i'm not sure where you are getting that all the competitors are releasing on 'almost everything' when both Paralives and Life by You have no plans to release for console. If by 'all the competitors' you mean project Rene, yeah, that's the only one. And the fact they're making it compatible with phones means the entire game is going to be throttled by what phones can handle. This is not a good thing. The switch can't even render Pioneers of Olive Town if you have a lot of decorations on your farm, there's no way it could run games like these.

Simulation games started on PC because PC is a cheap and easy platform for novice developers to start their game developing career

For Paralives, the devs are not setting anything "in stone" so to speak , due to the fact if they have to back track on it people would be disappointed.
