Roland Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 There is no change to the stance that was published 8 months ago. I will update that thread to say so. That way there is no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Probably be a good idea to have Gamida's post, pinned in its own thread, with the link. Since it is the latest news, concerning the future of console, and where it stands. Plus it would just be easier to link back to it, if new threads start to pop up.

meganoth Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 9 hours ago, ChefVaporeon said: I wasnt asking when an update would come out, there's a ton of those posts. I was asking if the devs had said anything more recently than 9 months ago or made any relevant blog posts regarding any console specific information. This point you seem to have entirely missed. Its funny because I actually found the information I was looking for on Reddit as a response to a meme. According to a user on there the devs confirmed during their last live stream that the game will come to next gen consoles as they finish the PC version. Thats pretty much what I was looking for, hard facts not speculation. Its possible that rather than being rude and making the community look bad, you could simply say "hey this is what we know and this is what we are pretty sure is going to happen." That reddit post is slightly misleading in its summary of Richards talk then. In that talk all is still a plan, a "we want", not a hard fact, not at all different to what was said in the official blog post 8 months ago. That nothing is different about their desire to finally go back to console could be interpreted as a good sign though. Also IMHO there are no unsurmountable difficulties in porting to the new consoles so I don't think it is likely that the plan will change. And since they have payed so much money for the console rights also means there is a big incentive to not let that money go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the clarification on that, while its still the same plan that kind of information is still an update. Its good to know that they still have a future planned. Even knowing the info update is that their plans haven't changed it shows that the topic isn't far from their thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Watkins Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Will there be a Alpha 16 Port or will there be a Overhaul (New game) After Alpha 19 gets Stable. I seen the stream and heard they have a bigger developer Team, should that speed the Process up? I would be thankful for a Alpha 16 Port Edited June 17, 2020 by Alex Watkins More info added (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganoth Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I moved your post to the appropriate section. Please use the link on the big red banner above, it leads to an official blog post that explains why there won't be any updates to the current versions on console.

As the console version is still something like Alpha 15, you can still use all the cheesy tactics from that same version of the PC game... Zeds couldn't climb over the back of a wooden chair facing outwards, so place 4 rows of wooden chairs in a square or rectangle. In each of the four corners where the rows meet, plant a tree. In that version, zeds couldn't attack trees yet. That makes an impenetrable enclosure that you can still easily jump over, but leave zeds frustrated. Also, an underground hole with a hatch was still fairly safe, as zeds couldn't dig down yet. Safely build the underground bunker of your dreams.

Liesel Weppen Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Maybe put the console section post under review first? Every post needs to be reviewed by a mod to unlock it (especially from new registered users with 0 posts). Then decline those neverending whining posts and just refer them to the link? Obviously a big red banner on top is not enough. Maybe make it half the screen big and force users to open the link, scroll through and confirm at the end before they can even post?

hugojheredia Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 A long time ago, when the Telltale Games problem occurred, they had said that they already had a new update ready for the consoles. What happened to this one? Couldn't they launch it as a farewell? I know that having no support this update can bring serious problems that can never be solved ... but I think we all agree that the risk is preferable to having a dead game in the console library.

meganoth Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I don't have any inside information, this is just some guessing from someone who knows a lot about programming: I seem to remember someone (IG?) saying the update was 70% or 80% (or some other number in that range) finished. Now take that percentage with a grain of salt because often the last 20% of the work take 80% of the time in programming (and it is not clear whether that purported percentage was about code or time). So, assuming IronGalaxy was working on the update for a year it could take them another 4 months or another year. A different developer unfamiliar with the code would need to add maybe another 2 months. Usually most debugging is done last so just dumping this update to users would be not useful at all, likely a lot of systems don't even run and secfault immediately. Also the time for debugging is always underestimated. If IG really did an accurate estimation of the needed time they would be one of a rare breed of game developers. One of the most critized bugs is the Xbox save bug. I don't think TFP could release an update without fixing that bug. But it is not at all clear if that is even possible without rewriting the file handling subsystem. It isn't even clear if that might need more resources like RAM and because RAM is already scarce would need even more changes and possibly might make it impossible. There is also a rule from MS and Sony that savegames must be (backwards or both ways?) compatible, is it even possible to solve the issue and follow that rule? I don't know, I can only say there is a chance this alone prevents any thought about an update. Ok, I'm a pessimist. But I'm 99% sure just releasing what is there is impossible. And developing a version that TFP could release without getting flak from all sides and more importantly that would go through the quality check at Microsoft and Sony might take from 4 to 18 months (best to worst) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjoker Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 ik that the game devs of seven days to die are not updateing console anymore cause of there own reason and im not asking that they start making updates for console but i hope they can atleast for now make bug fixs for what we currently have on console including duplication glitches i would assume it wouldn't be as hard as making a whole new update with more features although im not sure but if you guys see this and are looking at these post give some thought on atleast fixing bugs on the current version in till you guys are able to release more content it seems like reasonable request who agrees here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Hello, When is the update of alpha 19 coming out to consoles (ps4) I've been playing this game since it came out and stopped cause no updates were added! Now I heard this new update is out! So keep us console players informed if any progress has been made.🤨 Brgds, Dacosta83 Edited August 13, 2020 by SylenThunder posting in all caps is rude (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Most likely Never. The current console hardware is not capable of supporting the client past Alpha 16.

ytquietfae Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Is console updated to the point of no fog of war view constantly or is it still there? I quit 7dtd due to the bad move telltale made but wanting to return with my girlfriend and friends. But my main concern is the fog that wont allow you to view for long distances.

Also we're looking for the more recent stuff. Allow me to reply a little more politely. If I remember right, you can increase view distance in single player only. Multiplayer has to have the fog for loading purposes or whatever. No new content I'm afraid, console is finished for now man. Most likely only hope is next generation.
