this on XBOX ONE?????/

[Nue Houjuu]

So I have been playing this game for a long time now. Then it came to pc and I was happy,and when E3 came this game on the Xbox one. How the hell is this is going to work with a controller. What do you guys think?

[Sir Pootington]

Ask that to microsoft.

This is one of those games that really don't belong on console. Just like Minecraft was, but it Microsoft shoved enough dollars into Jeb's thoat for it to be done. They'll probably find a way if they're offered like $1-$10 million.

It won't work on console. It never will. Have you even seen the simulated mouse in Internet Explorere for console? It's terrible! Same with Minecraft pointer on console. Trust me, your quality of life will greatly improve if you ditch that piece of ♥♥♥♥ right now and come to PC.

Overall, crappy simulated mouse pointer will do the trick. Not much gameplay to it except looking at menus.

When Plague Inc. releases on xbox one, they're going to update the whole system settings to where you can plug in a keyboard and mouse, either by bluetooth, or USB.

I would never play this game with out touch capability. My touch screen laptop will always be better than xbox.

It will work just fine on console. They just modify the UI so instead of moving a cursor over an object to interact with it you just push a specific button to get to the menu. This game does not have many menus so there's more than enough buttons on a console controller to make it work. Not sure why you guys are freaking out so much about this, you already own the PC version anyways so how does it affect you when they add support for a different platform?

What's the point of having a console then? If you use keyboard+mouse on console why don't you just get a PC?

What if your PC stopped working and you don't want to spend over $300 to get a replacement?

Sadly this game would only work on PC and IOS. As a console gamer i can't see this game working "smoothly"

Given that I (and many other people) use my computer for things other than playing games, I don't see myself not being willing to get my computer working again if it goes down.

Though I've never had something that cost $300 go out, so your comparison is rather invalid unless multiple components fail at once. And even if that happened, buying equivalent parts would almost certainly cost less than $300 due to the price for parts dropping the longer they've been available.


As for this game (or any of the other announced ports) being made available on consoles: Cool. I know at least one person who games exclusively on consoles, meaning that they otherwise would never get to play this game. And now they will.

What's so bad about expanding the userbase?

Oh heavens to betsy how will they make it play? How will we pop red, orange and blue bubbles when we use a controller with red, yellow and blue buttons?!

Umm watering down the diffcuility? Look at the Elder Scrolls series. after Morrowind rhey made it more easy. I liked Oblivion's diffuclity but not skyrim's. that was wayyy to easy.

[A Spooky Ghost]

But Morrowind was on xbox as well.

Yeah but morrowind was claimed by most to be the "hardest" of the ES games that have greced cconsoles.

Ok so tell me about the corresponding change of difficulty you fear will somehow happen. If you ask me getting to use mouse and keyboard instead of a touchscreen creates a huge downgrade in difficulty.

edit: Also there are difficulty mods on pc for skyrim.

Difficulty isn't just about combat. And I totally agree with Suicidal_xAlpha, the elder scrolls games after Morrowind is childs play. One more difference is that Morrowind was designed for PC and later ported to xbox while Skyrim is designed for consoles and we got a mediocre PC port. A game should be solid as it is, and if it is moddable, it's a plus, but it shouldn't require mods to have any shred of replayability.......

But that was subsequent games in a series, this is the same game. Apples to Oranges.

Did Morrowind suddenly become "easier" after they released the Xbox version? Did doing so change anything about the game on the PC?

No.

Now, Plague Inc. Evolved may still be in development, but I doubt that Ndemic is going to make fundamental changes to the PC version's control scheme based on the console version. For one there's the differing inherent control devices, not to mention that it would probably require an expensive re-write of the code to do so.


It would be better to compare Plague Inc. Evolved to Minecraft. Though it wouldn't serve your argument since the computer version of Minecraft didn't get "watered down" after the release of the console version. (And for the record, I personally find the crafting interface in console Minecraft nicer than the PC version.)
