    As noted earlier, it's the plan but everything is subject to change.

    well ya gotta remember mate, the ps4 came out in 2013, and the ps3 pretty much gets 0 support nowadays as MOST have moved on from it. so a ps3 release probably wouldnt be the best plan of action for getting lots of support from a new crowd as no one from E3 is gonna be like omg look at this new game on ps3

    In terms of processing power, pox should run smoothly for PS4. The graphics demands are also considerably lower, so that should work fine.

    Controls should actually be easy for PS.

    L3 to pan camera. R3/arrows to control mouse pointer. Select a unit and it shows movement shadow. Attacks can show damage calculations before confirmation.

    I like it.

    I support much more ability simplification/consolidation to help make the game more newbie friendly. Eg...block/dodge changed to automatic once/round. Evasive/reflexes flat 35%. Things like charge, pounce, power attack only need 1 rank.

    So with the new client will the graphics be improved?Also will it have vr and / or 4k support?

    Apparently not, at least not from the start. Not sure I'm happy with that considering the first impression the new guys coming across it will be very important.

    How much are you going to increase the turn timer? If ps4 players are going to compete against computer players they'll need the turn timer extended for the clumsy joystick controls.

    Does this mean every computer versus computer match will also have increased turn timer? will computer players be able to select to queue for normal length matches against other computer players? or will they have to queue against both?

    Poxnora is basically perfectly paced for how long a match lasts compared to human a.d.d. attention span right now with the current computer timer. So when you raise this how will that effect console player enjoyment?


    Do you have any plans to allow offline play? like in something like frozen synapse? where each turn timer is 24hours? That's how things like words with friends became popular, although I am not sure it's a good fit for poxnora (given how many turns there are and how they are not asynchronous). This way you can play a dozen games at once all slowly over a week or two.


    That said if the new client lacks the lag of the current client maybe the turn timer can stay the same? on pc right now turns are slowed down by input/animation lag. I guess if that went away everything would just work fine even on a joystick?

    Another question:
    PS4 players wont be able to "chat", what will be implemented for them? audio chat or similar?

    The PS4 on it's own has a pretty robust friends and communication system. We are looking into how this best plays into Pox Nora on PlayStation platforms. There is still much to be done before we can give any specifics or definitive answers.

    @Sokolov I don't know if you've played the Disgaea series on the playstation, but I hope that our UI will be similar.

    Yes, though in this case we don't have map rotation and the trigger keys are being used to quickly cycle between units.
