Hello captains, as the topic states, i'd like to see this cone over to consoles. Been watching this game for awhile and like the history and all I've read about with this game. In into realistic stuff like that....I asked for awhile on Facebook on NA's page..but I havn't heard anything in awhile. So, without tearing my head off, does anyone have an idea,answer or anything of the like? Thank u for for your help...much appreciated captains, best of luck at sea.

id say if the release goes extremely well and there is massive demand for it then there may be a slight possibility, but for such a small dev team, unless the demand for it is massive, id say it is highly doubtful that it will come to console unfortunately.

Captains, we do not know yet, the game has to be released on PC first, at the moment it is in Early Access stage. Lets back to this question once the game is released.

Ok thank you for your responses. Ill leave it alone until after release...thank you Naval Action Dev team. Best of luck. Just have it noted there is someone here wanting to get out to see with ya's on the ps4

PS4 would mean dumbing it down.

Pardon me for my noob ness..i'm not really tech savvy...but what would need to be done for it to work? And could that possibly a Kickstarter goal to help it get there.Ive been hearing the Dev's looking into the Kickstarter idea for content and such, maybe possible for port version too.Then that might show the interest in a port too.

I feel it's highly unlikely this game will even make it to full release, let alone console release.

I think the problem with porting two consuls is the ability of the console to process. They are built for graphics which is why they're good for first person shooters and such but with strategy games you wind up having to dumb them down. So please don't. It's OK to have PC only was I don't think the consul owners would really be into this game too much.

Example; naval action TrackZ the path of each cannonball from the moment it's fired through impact determines penetration and then follows it as it bounces around inside the ship. Each cannonball is mathematically tracked and calculated to determine whether it penetrates and how it bounces.

If you have 10 ships all firing cannons that is an exceptional amount of calculations going on and I don't think consuls have that ability. Therefore, you wind up having to "dumb it down" by using a hitpoint system where balls are not individually tracked.

I have played two strategy/RTS Games developed for both PC and consuls and they were her Renda's compared to their original for both PC and consuls and they were overly simplified compared to their original PC only versions

I'm not a programmer so I may be wrong but that is my understanding

it's not even about the technical difficulty, but the fact that the cost to port it wouldn't be worth the very meager profit from the console peasants. they likely wouldn't even break even.

Well, i would buy and play...guess I'm one of the rare console guys that would like the slower paced game ..but ya'll have good points as to the cons..(also I appreciate the "Kelly's Hero's" reference aha) just a bummer because ..I'm into strategic games like this, just can't afford the PC to run it. Also my internet isn't really meant for gaming either
