Pillars of Eternity console port by Paradox Arctic

[Starwars]

Now you will have chance to play Pillars of Eternity on console, YAY!



OK Obsidian, it's time to cut all ties to Paradox before it's too late.

WTF


Hmn, outsourced to paradox arctic. How did they manage to port it I wonder?

Hope it didn't cost them much, conclusion from InXile was that this doesn't sell, right?

I think Paradox was behind this, seeing as it was done along with Cities: Skylines

WTF


How did they manage to port it I wonder?

Added third person perspective, jump button, QTE, romance, armor dlc and an inventory that block the entire screen ofc.

I wonder how will be mapped all spells on controller.

The game has been adapted for consoles by Paradox Arctic and features an enhanced UI and redesigned controls so the game can be “navigated easily and intuitively” using game controllers.

 

[Lacrymas]

I wonder how it would be playable at all without it feeling like a turn based game. I expect auto pause each round.

 

[vortex]

We have to ask Obsidian if new UI will be also available on PC.

 

[Quillon]

What's he saying on 44th sec on that trailer? You believe you're in control... ?

 

[Lacrymas]

You believe you're in control... ?

, but I wonder where your choices will lead us. (How is this a logical sentence though? Is he saying that choices don't matter? i.e. "You believe you have choices, but whatever you choose it will end up the same"?)

Ironically, the same place everyone's choices will, this isn't AoD.

 

[Quillon]

but I wonder

and I was like wtf is tylander

 

[felipepepe]

Wasteland 2/3 path? PoE2 to be multi-platform since release?

Will Sawyer BALANCE the platforms?

The console crowd is cheering, losing itself in a surge of sheer ecstasy.

 

[Starwars]

To be honest, don't really give a shit if Paradox spends time converting these things to console (and they make it work, hey, great). But yeah... no sneaky "oh yeah, we're also totally making Deadfire for consoles btw but don't WORRY GUYS!" announcements please.

 

[Quillon]

Sounds like they made it work somehow... https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hands-on-with-pillars-of-eternity-complete-edition/1100-6451040/

More easy to get into than PC he says

 

[Lacrymas]

I didn't think PoE was "hard to get into", sooo. It's not like the first X-com where you have to read the documentation before you know wtf is going on and wtf you are supposed to be doing. He didn't mention anything about the combat though.

 

[Fry]

The console crowd is cheering, losing itself in a surge of sheer ecstasy.

Yes, all 15 of them who actually want to play PoE.

Silly shit, but I don't care as long as the PoE2 team isn't wasting time on console interface nonsense.

 

[vonAchdorf]

No one wants too read that much on a TV screen 10ft away. That's why D:OS EE did full VO.

 

[Mustawd]

Not sure what's so difficult to understand. Game will now be single character control only with companion AI, and moved exclusively to RT with fake pause option, a la DA:I. Boom, done.

 

[oldmanpaco]

This can only mean good things for the future of the PoE franchise and Obsidian games in general.

 

[Rev]

What the fuck is this shit?
I hope this is just Paradox's douchery and that Obsidian cut all its ties with those idiots, since they have nothing to gain from their terrible policies (endless overpriced dlcs, shit marketing, their ideas of making a two-part expansion which turn out to be an epic fail commercially...), otherwise if Obsidian starts thinking about making console ports of their PC games I'll stop giving them money in their crowdfunding campaign.
