PS4 or PC?

[Yaboygonzo]

I am really digging the vibes from this game..but I can't decide if I want to wait til the PS4 edition comes out or just play it now..

I have no preference in platform, but would like the best experience while playing...

Any suggestions?

Pfft, PC master race dude. Seriously tho, I imagine playing with a controller is much more irritating than keyboard and mouse.

[Yaboygonzo]

Yeah, thats the vibe I was getting as well!

There is absolutely no controller support for the PC version.

If you want to play on a desk, PC version. If you want to play on a TV in your couch, the PS4 version should be it.

+1 for PC.

I'm not even a PC gamer per say. But this game was meant for a PC and definitely thrives on it.

The game interface was built for PC and mouse & kb and the controller interface will be only so good by comparrison due to its inherant limitations.

I would say the only reasons for getting a PS4 version would be a) you haven't got a PC or b) you rarely if ever play with mouse & kb and are far more comfortable playing with a controller, or c) you like playing on a big TV from the sofa and don't have a PC kitted out to play Steam games that way.

+1 for PS4, always better to play there

As someone heavy on the micromanagement, I cannot imagine what a nightmare it would be playing this game on a gamepad.

+1 for PC.

Asking here is a forgone conclusion :). Ask on a PS4 forum :)

The controller setup and UI is very good , i wouldnt worry about using a controller , theres a lot of similiar RPG's that use controller and most of them are done very well. Divinity is probably the best example , i actually prefer controller on Divinity. Being able to walk around with the stick instead of clicking is one good thing with the controller.

My main concern with PS4 would be framerate , it will probably be fine but i would check first. Some PS4 games run great , some run ♥♥♥♥. Depends on the devs and how much effort they made.

If framerate is fine on PS4 get PC if you want to sit at your PC , get PS4 if you want to sit on a couch and play.

I pre-ordered mine for the PS4. Something about even having the option of playing a game like Baldur's Gate on my big TV and a controller was just too cool to pass up.

If only I could plug my pc into my big 4k screen, if only steam recognised the dualshock 4 as a native steam controller that allowed you to play games with a pad.... oh well, I better get used to being hunched over a tiny desk for the rest of my days.....

Not saying your first statement is false. But a PS4 forum would be a forgone conclusion as well.

[ColeTrain1034]

Something to consider, as well, is that any thoughts about the PS4 edition, positive or otherwise, are all just conjecture at this point. The only way to know for sure if it holds up is to wait for it to come out and see how it plays - game clips, reviews, etc. As I've said, I highly recommend the PC version; but if you're already not opposed to waiting for the PS4 version to come out, maybe wait until it does just so you can do a little more research before committing to either.

[Yaboygonzo]

Thank you all for the comments and input..I know it is a little silly since I'm asking on the Steam forums and the PS version isn't out yet...

Ultimately I decided to get it on here..but if I like it well enough I might just get the PS4 version down the road.

Thank you again :)

Torment: ToN plays fine with my DS4. Ditto for Divinity: OS EE. I'm playing PoE with a Steam Controller and it works well. Given all the bugs in PoE that haven't been stomped out, I'd go with PC through. Fewer bugs I figure.

For those intersted here's Paradox stream domo of the PS4 version.

I din't watch all of it, but:

The menus are obviously very cumbersome since they are essentially replacing hot keys, you've got to mess about wirth wheels etc instead of just htting a key. Well if you're used to that I suppose......

It is is not clear you can access further information about specific items in the character sheet, item sescriptions. Stuff like "Deflection -5". If you want to know on PC you just click it with your mouse. Not sure how that is done on console.

But the biggest by far I noticed was it's not clear how you can access and manage the combat log which is rfeally important. On PC you can freely scroll the log up and down. resize it whatever and you can hover the mouse over any line to get a popup with the full math calculation for hit rolls, damage rolls etc. It is not clear how to do that or if it's even possible on console.
