Seriously Xbox before PC? Frontier Shame on you! AND......

[ronin516]

Really can't believe that they are releasing CQC on Xbox first. So much attention starting to be focused on Xbox and MAc And were not getting the game promised in the beginning. I Mean seriously C-mon. Missions are still HORRID! Instead of spending time on stuff not originally promissed in the game focus your team on actually creating a real interactive and multilevel mission system that will involve the players and make us actually want to do the missions. Not to mention the waste of time PowerPlay stuff.Nothing in the whole thing effects a player individually. (accept that if I spend all my free time playing for merits only loosing money in the process I get access to a new weapon which should be something incorporated in a mission somewhere.) And we still can't store items or even switch one item to another ship. I have been very patient and played for over a year and just getting tired of frontiers wasted time on stuff that's not needed when core gameplay still is very very flawed. and while im at it. Still only have like 5 space station styles in billions of stars, And they all look the same.... really?

Think of it this way,

Now the Xbone users can test out the game and smash their heads against a brick wall working out the kinks instead of the PC players having to do it. And maybe by the time CQC is ready for PC rollout it will be bug free.

Déjà vu up in this thread. Where were you 2 weeks ago when the rest of us found out

This. There are like a million threads about this subject already.

This content is obviously created with console players in mind, and the Xbone version needs some "bang" to go with it's release, so it's not that bad. We'll be getting this content later, who cares. And if you're worried, the devs stated that most content will always come on computers first. I expect the hypothetical PS4 version will likely also be accompanied by a temporarily exclusive content. It's really not that big a deal. Let's wait for the Gamescom where the next big PC-first content will be revealed. And I bet it will be more interesting than a multiplayer arena mode.

I'm sorry, are you from the past?!

This old story again , I thought we got over this non- issue long ago .

Who cares. We will get it this year. It is good for business and thus good for the game in the long run.

And were not getting the game promised in the beginning.

Really? The game's initial release was December, only 6 months ago.
You do realize this is has been announced as a huge long term project?
You do realize FD is not a huge dev like UBI, EA or Rockstar?

All this whining serves no purpose. Patience is needed. The game gets improved all the time and FD will have to do it at their own pace.
Negative whining threads like this are useless.

Good morning Ronin.

 

[Moai]

with you on this one hundered percent Ronin516.
I do not want a console and even though microsoft keep telling me i do i do not. and now im bombarded with it here? i love ED but as powerplay doesnot meet my play style, as i dont want another job/timesink that i have to pay my credits to take part in, now the CqC element is locked away from me as well?! comon!

 

[ZeeWolf]

This just in: Business has to make business decisions to keep running business.

Same time next week then?

 

[Things]

Fact is they stated console versions aren't going to hold back development of the PC version and then proceeded to delay one of the new features by almost half a year for the sake of XBox exclusivity.
It's obvious money were poured for this to happen and it's not going to change.
No reason to think they aren't going to do it again either. Some people will always find a justification.

Seriously are you worried about the CQC on Xbox ? come on... that's not a problem at all...

i am worried about the appeal of CQC for xbox players instead.. i really hope they will feel curious enough to buy the game.

 

[Chann3l]

I suspect the main reason for this is that most pc players don't care about cqc anyway and it gives Xbox players more of an incentive to buy the game. The truth is (and this isn't a bad thing, people enjoy things I'm different ways) most console players play a given game for far less time and enjoy more immediate gratification which cqc will provide. It should also allow FD more financial room to keep improving the PC version. They've also stated they have something big in the works for us anyway.

 

[bendover]

I dont care about arena Style combat its just something to keep the Xbox kiddies happy, I want my Fun now,now,now

CCP and Eve did the same thing. Took all the money PC gamers put into the game and released a console only experience with it. This is upsetting on so many levels.

How could you seriously send me an email to my computer and say "yea we're giving this content that you funded development of to console kiddies first" without thinking about it at all?

I seriously hope this does not become a trend but I am eagerly anticipating what changes you make to the game to cater to console's lack of hardware and control fidelity. Will you have to remove certain abilities and weapons from the game because the Xbone's controller doesn't have enough buttons?

Time will tell. You're going down a dark path with this.

Only... that is not what FD did at all !!
CQC will get released for PC and as a bonus a mother load of optimizations that came from Mac and X-box development will be implemented in the PC version.

As a pure PC gamer I am very happy with that.
Although I will probably not get involved with CQC at all. That kind of multi player is not my thing.

Fact is they stated console versions aren't going to hold back development of the PC version and then proceeded to delay one of the new features by almost half a year for the sake of XBox exclusivity.

FD hired a separate team to develop CQC.
This did not delay development of the game for PC. There is a growing team of devs working on that.
CQC is a timed exclusive and will get delivered on PC a little bit later this year because of that business deal.
That is not in any way the same as delaying development.

CQC is the only way they're going to keep the average Xbox player's attention. Majority of them will never have any interest in leaving the populated area.

Couldn't care less myself, the hunt is half the fun of PvP.

Eve Valkyrie will be on PC, and will be much better on PC. CCP knows options menus, the PC version won't lack for features I promise.
