Next Gen Console Release PS5 and Xbox?
Is this having any plans to launch for the Next Gen consoles? I'm sure they are more then capable to run this game. Or the devs have any plans for future console release?

That would be nice! But playing with gamepad is kinda tricky in this game, need some improvements.
I tink playing this with a controller is higly possible....Elite Dangerous did it...i don't see why not X4 Devs could not do the same. I mention i am not a developer so i don't know what needs to be made to get this tiking and working. But this game for console would BE AMAZING!
Most PC's have issues I imagine consoles would too. Lots of Red rings would appear :)

isn't it just amazing how the turns have tablet?

only a few years ago this very community frowned upon even the faintest rumor and the mere idea to bring this genre to anything else but PC.

now look were we are now... no matter in wich forum you look, everyone, their neighbor and their dog asks if there are plans to bring this, that, solitaire and minesweeper to console...

what happened the the golden PC masterrace days? am i truly this old?

I'm with ya man. I've seen the changes too. The powers-that-be succesfully convinced these people that a gamepad and consoles are 'better', and it's 'convenient'...

But at what price for the PC great games of the Golden Age of gaming?

But no one cares.

Yes, yes you are.
I made those jokes at the age of 14, thats half my life ago....

While i would never consider "gaming" on something that costs less then my mainboard+cooler, barely half of a propper GC... talking about PC Masterrace is besides the "youghfull" way to throw NS slang arround...
Just old...
Like... 2015 old.
Thats pre covid mancave BS

Consoles are a cheap way to get into a popcultural booming "hobby" while not having to worry about upgrades or ROI for atleast one "generation".

I can totally imagine a X port, much like the Cities:Skylines 1 port.
Downgraded to near unplayabillity, memed by PCs to hell and back....
But sold more then the PC version...

Aslong as Ego reinvests the ConsoleConnyMonney into the maingame let them fund it...

Your totaly right, and is not only that. I would also reather lay down on me sofa and play on me huge tv in the living room after i come from work to relax. I aint got back and the nerve to stay on a chair after working standing up for 12 hours a day sometimes.....so yea i,m not that young.
Few years back if i look to me self in time, i was me on console NEVER ....well the tides are changeing :steamhappy:. Now i own the same amount of games on console as on STEAM LOL.
Have a good day!
Cheers

An 8k ray traced minesweeper as
an intel Alienware exclusive release?
Could be THE candidate for 2025 game awards (if not developed in china).

PC will always rule over consoles, it has too. Consoles always release outdated compared to PC and no matter how beefy they make them, within a few months to a year they're nowhere near as good. I have an XBox, the series X... but I just returned back to PC for games just like this one and a few others.

Elite Dangerous dropped console support.

I'm not sure if there's a point of porting to those platforms, Basically I recall that there are issues with licensing for those devices, which require buying dev kits and NDAs. I'm also not sure if PS5/XBox even supports vulkan which X4 is currently using.

I can tell you what happened. A current gen gaming PC that is able to run new games costs about 3.500-4.000 EUR now. A few years ago you could play the newest games on a machine that cost 2.000-2.500 EUR. Heck my 4090 was f*ing 1.900 EUR on a SALE. That is a full monthly net wage of many people especialy younger people.
The drastical price increase for new gen hardware outprices many gamers. Thats also why you see so many people complain about 60EUR games. We all know that this is dirt cheap for the amount of work and money invested in this projects but people simply can't afford it anymore.
PC is still freedom despite their attempts to collar us.

Console is not. It was once, no longer. You are collared.

I have a m8 with his Xbox and that's pretty clear, Convenient, as long as you lose your freedom with your games.

And on the flip side, there's not that many great games being released, so not much point in buying this sort of config.

this and only this...
unless i want to exchange the whole system i don't have to... i can upgrade what ever it is i call my PC piece by piece, component by component.

can't do that with a console... once its out dated by just a minor time frame it basically has to go to the bin...

what a waste...

anyway, i completed my goal to bring views into this topic... now we can talk about them.

Geist, i'm sorry... but as GenX I can't believe PC Pricing is an actual complaint. Dude, I remember when you wanted a system in 1992 a PC with 8MB (yes I said 8 Megabyte) of DRAM, a 300MB (yes I didn't say Terabyte) a Super VGA Monitor, windows 3... you were going to spend around $3,500. Your monitor had 256 colors, around 1998 256mb if SD ram for... $586. Minimum wage was $5.15 an hour... and to buy a PC you had to walk up hill in the snow both ways.
