GoI:O on Playstation

[James T. Kirk]

I've always been a console gamer at heart, but I was on the edge of buying a PS4.

If our accounts are cross-compatible, I'm getting one for sure.


YOU HEAR THAT SONY? YOUR INDIE PROPAGANDA IS WORKING.

What an opportunity for Muse and what a challenge for CAs!

*Finding this thread*

First thought: "Oh sweet, opening up GoIO for the console community!"
Second though: "Oh.. ... ...opening up GoIO for the console community -.- "

[Piemanlives]

Oh my, this could end badly.

Let's be optimistic here. Guns of Icarus is an amazing community and let's keep that spirit and be welcoming of Playstation players, and maybe transform them as well. It's not like all the COD people who are assholes play on consoles and everyone else plays on PC. It's the simple fact that our community is awesome, not that the internet isn't mean and nasty.

[DMaximus]

Well, I guess it's decided now. I'm buying a PS4.

[Sgt. Spoon]

oh yeah, as Keon said, it's still a great thing that they're able to expand over to different platforms. The future looks bright!

The more the merrier, I have stayed out of the console market for a while because I can't work a FPS with a game pad. Hopefully the new players will be less ham handed than I. While GOI isn't as twitch based as some FPS's it does require a great deal of precision and smoothness which I am not sure a thumb stick can provide.

[N-Sunderland]

All right, so it will support cross-platform play!

*braces for gargantuan player influx* 

[Letus]

Well...
looks like I will sign up to be a CA after all...
...only got like...2 full weeks of work left...

As cool as it is, my only fear will be that large console community trying the game for five minutes, deciding they hate it because they haven't fully played it, and then going out to discredit this game.

Some PS3 games support mouse and keyboard gameplay. I use my mouse and keyboard to play Dust 514.

Assuming the same support carries over to the PS4 and the Unity support is universal I would not be surprised to see mouse and keyboard supported in the PS4 version of GoIO

Wow. This is insane. Huge news, massive congrats to Muse, and to my fellow CAs  ... put on your big-boy pants ... shit's about to get crazy. 

[Piemanlives]

Shit's always crazy, it's just going to get crazier.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

One of the main things I'm concerned about, is how it will change the community. The PS4 player base is huge and has a higher frequency of people being jerks. Muse is gonna have to implement some huge anti-trolling strategies.

This...totally this...KICK FEATURE ASAP!!!

No.

I think the coolest thing about it is the use of steam on playstation can be used for cross platform play
