Console version

[Sacrifice]

Whilst i appreciate that many players out there are looking forward to the release of dayz on a console, i for one have one main concern. I have followed development for a while now and purchased the game around march 2014. From what i can remember we were always promised the PC version to be complete (or almost) before much consideration was taken into the console version... yet we see a working console build at PAX...

I find this concerning when i also see rumours flying around regarding the console release and cash and grab scenario.

"Despite the not-so-huge amount of work going into our console builds of the game, we're basically able to run our regular PC 0.63 builds[www.dayz.com] on both consoles with no major issues in gameplay or performance"

Let me answer this. :) We still don't know if crossplay will be possible, can't promise anything, still too early. All these conspiracy theories - guys, a console version isn't possible without working PC version. The PC version is the priority for us, the development of DayZ on consoles has no impact to the PC version."

Ah, so they just lied. That's much better than "conspiracy" theories.

Where did they lie? You keep throwing stuff around but you never, actually never support it with facts. Get your facts straight or get out and stop writing nonsence.

Your question has been answered clearly. However, you are trying to turn it into something it is not, which is a logical fallasy, and now you are playing the victim, which is an argumental error.

The funny thing about SinKings attempts at disinformation is the information which counters their claims is easily accessable.

"The PC is our flagship platform for DayZ. That is where 99 per cent of our development resources are focused. And while there was a lot of push from Sony and Microsoft to get up on their stages and say 'yes, we're coming', our focus has been exclusively (I want to say exclusively because there's about a one per cent development resource trying to keep those platforms at a point at which, once we get to our beta and our bug fixing, we can start pushing forward on that) on the PC. We can't really move DayZ over to these platforms, at least on a playable level for consumers, until the base engine, Enfusion, is complete. Or if not complete, feature-complete so to speak - the core tech is there."

Given that, and for reasons Hicks goes into later, console DayZ development probably won't begin properly until - if all things go well - early 2017. And in all likelihood the game will appear first on Xbox One owing to Microsoft supporting early access releases via the Xbox Game Preview programme."

As per usually, answers often don't reply to the actual question. So here is what the question was again: Wasn't Dayz supposed to be ported to console only after most of its features were done?

Clearly that's not the case, as the xbox version has no other features than the standalone. At this point it just is a tech demo for a console user interface. It coincides with Dayz updates being delayed, so the game is not on schedule. I guess by this time they already hoped to be further along, so they could have started on the console after the initial 0.63 release.

So much nonsense it is becoming comical.

I've learned to essentially ignore anything that SinKing says.
