Opinion about console version
Let's talk about console version.

Frame-Rate: Its fine? Around 20/25/maybe 30?, but its playable sure sometimes you have FPS drop but you can get used to it. Graphics are I guess low/low-medium.

Aim-assist: I don't know if console version even have aim-assist. Sometimes it feels like you have it and sometimes you need to aim fully manually.

AI: Same AI, I guess everyone expected that.

Gameplay: This is weird but in my opinion Gameplay in some places feels better on console, mostly because its not that easy to control recoil like on PC. But its same Sandstorm.

Controls: Playing on Gamepad is ok but some binds are weird for example: For in game voice commands you need to press L1 but hold L1 is for voice-chat.

Pre-order bonus: I don't know if I should talk about it here but whatever. Its cool, characters skins are fine, M4A1 skin is very good and GOLD AK also looks ok. (I'm 100% some people will not be happy about GOLD AK but lets be real this is only skin)

Bugs: PS4 have some weird bugs.
-R3 is used to lean when aiming but it also change zoom for sights with magnification. It makes you unable to lean right when using any sight with magnification for example 2x-1x Kobra.
-Gloves are bugged, you can sometimes see hand model on them.
-Models and sound sometimes loads in game. (For some time you don't see your weapon model and you don't hear weapon sounds). At least on range.
-Guns don't have muzzle-fire? I'm not sure about that but on range all weapons don't have it.

No Cross-Play: Maybe it have cross-play with xbox but not with pc and this is fine.

No Mods: This was easy to predict. PS4 games are not made for mods.

Am i satisfied with this port? I'm fine with it. It could be much worst but I guess it could be little be better, but this is still PS4, I'm 100% sure that PS5 version will look better. I am also curious how PS4 version works on PS5.

(Also sorry for my awful english but I try my best ok?)

Having watched console gameplay, there is a clear difference of pace, I honestly think it’s closer to the slower and more tactical experience that imo Insurgency is all about, like it’s designed for console in the first place!

Jokes on people that think Sandstorm has been downgraded for the sake of console market.

NWI support mentioned that they don't have any plans of mod support for consoles as well as crossplay between PC and consoles
gamepad layout is really annoying. Devs, just copy it from COD MW or similar games. Or enable custom layouts on ps4\ps5 consoles

I don't understand how anyone could play a hardcore fps with only 25 to 30 frames?

Bummer. I have console-only friends that might buy the game if it had crossplay.

If it had crossplay, console players would get obliterated.

On average? Yes big time. Is it possible to keep up with pc players for those who play it smart? Yes.

And I know it’s possible to end up top of the scoreboard fairly often since I’ve played this game and ins’14 with controller exclusively before learning kb/m a year ago.

This is because playing FPS or any shooter on console is slower, because you can't make fast clear moves like on PC.

Yeah basic layout is kinda annoying but you can get used to it.

Not everyone needs 120 FPS to enjoy game. When you play on console your whole life you mostly don't care about 25-30 frames.

It depends. If game don't have aim-assist yeah it would be hard but possible to keep up with pc players on console.
