Should Ashes of Creation target PS5 and Xbox Series X.

A lot of upcoming mmorpgs are targeting the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X platform as well as PC. Archeage 2, Throne and Liberty and Liberty and Blue Protocol are all receiving console release as well. This started because the MMORPG has reached a saturation point of PC and developers realized they can revive mmoprgs by releasing on console. The first mmorpg to release on console was Phantasy Star Online after wards Final Fantasy 11, Phantasy Star Online 2, Final Fantasy XIV, Destiny and Black Desert Online. Ashes of Creation would do better if they targeted consoles as well because it is easy to convince them to try that open wold sandpark game then a pc gamer.

@Azherae Please you know a 2060 will be fine and consoles aren't comparable to a 2060

Oh? Please educate me. I made a lot of explicit choices based on the fact that PS5s are similar to 2060s, but I could just have been misled by popular media.

What is the performance difference between the two?

Elite runs better for me on PS5 than on my laptop, I was actually rather disappointed at this.

It is only compared because people run test on the same games on the pc vs console and think its the same thing but a game run on console is literally running on different code than the pc versions. They render everything different, polygon counts are lower, LOD and draw distances are lower literally every standard metric for graphics is lowered and changed to fit a console, so the same games run, just not in the same way. Not to mention PCs have practical use for literally every aspect of life nowadays vs consoles having a few uses outside of gaming.

Also, a 2060 in a laptop is less powerful than a 2060 in a pc. So, the consoles also have more power than a laptop version.

It's weird, I can't tell if you're trolling me. Sometimes you're nice enough on these forums and sometimes you're not.

So for now, I'm just gonna disengage and ignore this. Sorry to ask for clarification and then just ignore it.

ahh idk why i get so worked up about it, i just hate console is better than pc or vica versa arguments, and basing a build off the console seems counterintuitive so i got worked up and thus im sorry for how i came across

We would love to feature console support! This is something that we'll evaluate further down the line. For right now, we're focusing on Windows PC

Here are a couple instances of Steven talking about it:

Well, if that ever happens, will probably be happy to see it and happy to test it.

Glad to hear it won't be a priority for now though. Honestly I'd be happier to hear that the Native Linux version was being worked on, than the PS5 version.

Windows causes me anguish.

I do think it's becoming easier to merge PC/Console games just because of the way technology has been going. My biggest concern would be ensuring gameplay is fun (or even possible) on a controller and how that would impact the way in which they balance gameplay. I would certainly NOT be okay with compromising any PC gameplay to be "fair" to console players. A lot of new MMOs are cross platform (console, or mobile) not because those platforms are capable of playing a full-fledged true MMO, but because the gameplay bar is intentionally lowered to support multiple platforms simply to reach a larger audience and bring in more revenue.

Crossplay would be epic, but Sony creates a lot of issues with licensing in regards to every damn update AoC will have which is gonna take longer between updates and a lot of paperwork i can imagine. Microsoft is much better to deal with though
