FOXHOLE ON CONSOLE?

[Timo]

Will foxhole will be available on console next gen? We know you had to made the game controller ready with the steamdeck, So why not give more people a chance to play your game?

it would be awesome as a twin stick shooter,, we only have helldivers on ps4 and another i forget

i doubt it, the game is to advance for most twin stick controllers, and take it from someone who uses the steam deck and pc, the usually smooth UI and user interface becomes really clunky really quick.

I agree for the sake of community growth. (under the premise that it's crossplay)

thank you for that input i can only imagine juggling the UI is difficult here on console controls as a console DayZ player. i assume steam deck is twin stick as a rifleman? but how good is it in moment to moment combat reguarding that aspect, just playing as a troop with steam deck controls? i undestand navigating inventory is lacking without MKB. I'm investing in a steam deck asap for colony sims and such to past time at work but do you have any enjoyment at foxhole steam deck minus the clunky UI?

"Community growth" - i.e. new noobie targets that still haven't gone through puberty.

I feel like if the devs adopted the menu surfing controls that tokyo42 had for its console release foxhole would do fine. I played Tokyo42 on both console and PC and while I prefer the PC as it felt more intuitive, the console port did help me feel like I could do everything just a little slower. Not as smooth as on console, but fine. Console players wouldn't have access to everything at one click of a button so logi would be harder but for things like combat console players might even have an advantage in certain situations.

Lastly about chunkiness: I have a dirt bag laptop. It's not a gaming laptop or CAD laptop by any means, but I put all the foxhole settings to minimum specs and game works great. Of course REALLY high traffic areas/BATTLES get chunky so I try to function more on the peripherals, but that can happen to even beastly PCs.
