PS4 project from Paradox won't attempt 'cheap PC port'

Speaking to Joystiq at GDC, Paradox Senior Producer Gordon Van Dyke offered a few hints as to what shape the company's PlayStation 4 project may take. "There's something in the works – I can't say yet, but we are looking into it."

Van Dyke pointed to a recent addition in War of the Roses, an online medieval battle game that he oversees. "Obviously we've added controller support [to War of the Roses], there's a proof-of-concept that definitely works." Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean War of the Roses is coming to PS4 – in fact, Van Dyke said Paradox still isn't sure what exactly it wants to do on PS4 yet.

They realise that now?! And so it shouldn't be cheaply ported

grailly4465d ago

I just want mount & blade 2, on any platform

nthstew4465d ago

pc port wont be a problem this time around anyway since the games will be developed for a pc architecture

pete0074465d ago

you´re right dude, lowering the settings so it´ll run on a tablet config with a contoller

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

But the other way around devs may find a way to F**k it up.. For pc players.

It's not very often that PC versions aren't well done. God you can play most pc games on gtx 7800 at around ps3 performance. Optimization works differently on PC though , often times day 1 performance on a single player game is improved drastically over time.
PC gamers like to complain more, because they don't accept the same sort of garbage performance many console gamers do.

CEOSteveBallmer4465d ago

No they won't because captain obvious will say games are made and developed on PC's and optimized for consoles. Sooo There's no reason they cannot optimize it too for PC's

Paradox are awesome - would be great to see some classic Paradox-style games like EU making it to console (with the touchpad on the PS4 controller, and the Wii U gamepad, and Smartglass on XboxNext it could well be a possibility as well).

CEOSteveBallmer4465d ago

Good and Glad to hear!! Lazy ports = gamers will be lazy to pick up the game = lazy reception score of game = low sales.

I mean it wasn't that intelligent to begin with, release it exclusive to the system that doesn't buy games. Plus it was on gamepass if I'm not mistaken. It's been a minute since I had mine on cause I just wrapped up chrono cross on ps5 but remember looking forward to checking this out on the Xbox. Try it on xbox if I liked it I would've bought on ps

mjchitown610d ago

dude go somewhere with that hating on xbox crap. you just admit yourself you wasnt buy the game on xbox , you played it on gamepass and buy it on ps5. you sounds dumb . you silent on forspoken and FF16 didnt sale good. and many other games. keep eating that foot in your mouth

shinoff2183609d ago (Edited 609d ago )

Ff16 sold fairly well.

I prefer to buy on the console who isn't openly trying to kill physical media sorry for your feelings. Ms has been trying to kill physical for some time. Nintendo and sony are the ones still working with smaller publishers. So yes I will buy a game preferably on ps when possible. You act like I just admitted to murder lol. Relax

mjchitown609d ago (Edited 609d ago )

@shinoff2183
lies. the ceo said himself FF16 didnt sale good. stop the cap. and you can buy them games on xbox. so you full of crap. and what you mean Nintendo and sony are the ones still working with publishers.???? what the hell are you talking about dude xbox works with small publishers. you trying to move the goalpost to fix your narrative. so gonna ignored sony ps5 all digital system huh . rumor next nintendo system will be a digital also with two version.

shinoff2183609d ago (Edited 609d ago )

Really xbox works with smaller publishers. I've heard numerous times xboxs minimum print is to high which is why you don't see smaller publishers like limited run games, special reserve etc work with xbox physical releases. I've read as high as 50k meanwhile Sony and Nintendo have had prints of 1k. Some wonder why smaller publisher haven't worked with ms on smaller releases. That's exactly why.

I assume you just don't know wtf your talking about. And again as someone who prefers physical video games why would or why should I give my hard earned money to a company who has since the announcement of xbox one been out to get rid of physical games. Gtfoh

Far as final fantasy 16 it's been stated It sold fine, would of sold more on pc sure, but it wouldnt of sold well on xbox, we know this, thank you ms. Ms admitted to games bot selling well on that platform already. Here's a newsflash to ya though psssss I didn't really like ff16 much anyway. So that's cute of you.

shinoff2183609d ago

To clarify maybe a little I'm talking about smaller publishers that produce physical games. Not just any publisher
