[UI] PS4 why is this game not on ps4

I was looking for this game of ps4 and could not find it it would be nice if this game was on ps4 like most games are. Ps4 has a few free game such as this one but this one is not on there maybe cause ps4 uses a controller and this game is not ready for and upgrade as such or maybe they are all sony games and they wont let no one else in their click.... but if that was the case world of thanks and war thunder is in there those are not sony games would not be a bad idea for this game to be on the ps4 hit list I see that Dark Orbit is trying to get more player and made a step in the right direction for the first time on TV in Texas I saw a Dark Orbit commercial that was nice to see on Tv lol

 

DO has too many buttons to press compared to the minimalist of a controller.

 

A game like DarkOrbit would never be on a console, unless they come with keyboards.

As yellowsubmarine said, there are simply too many buttons to be programmed in, not to mention having to hire a completely new team to work on console parts. On Bigpoint's part, this would be far, too expensive, and they are not a big enough company to do such a move.

 

Xbox One can use keyboard but not ingame gaming. Future project involves keyboard and mouse ingame gaming feature hope it will work out and we could play darkorbit on Xbox Project Scorpio with 6tf xD

 

I think Bigpoint are missing a trick for not developing for consoles, this could be a great twin stick shooter in the style of robotron etc.
Only difference to the game would be no lock on ability which in turn would make it more skill based.

 

Too many buttons is not an issue an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV proves that by making use of L2/R2 to toggle to basically buttons that do other stuff. Like say just for example normal X press is x4 ammo, holding L2 makes X button now EMP and holding R2 makes X button insta-shield, also could go further like FFXIV has done which is hold both L2/R2 for more buttons(also depending the order hold R2/L2 can give 2 sets of different buttons). The only possible problem could be the locking onto ships/aliens could simply just do what PonderousZeus said which is no lock on, just shoot where aim/direction facing though also could just have a crossair on screen that move about with analog stick and press say R1 or L1 to lock onto stuff.


So basically if BP really wanted to they probably could, but I kinda doubt that any time soon they would even consider it/dream about it since they aren't even doing that good on PC with current form the game is in(nevermind it being so pay2win and incredibly expensive especially if you want to rank chase/compete in pvp seriously). So basically when or if BP ever sorts this game out on PC aka when they make DarkOrbit "great again" then maybe you can try suggesting this idea again(at least in my opinion this is how I feel about this).

 

This would not be an issue for D O to do it would be the Console Manufacturer would have to make it programmable and then the player would have to program the buttons to be able to use for D O. The Box Manufacturer would also have to make them Keyboard and Mouse accessible so you could access the non game features (like Back Page) but is the direction D O has been trying to head with the addition of the In Client Equipping that has been placed on back burner because so many issues were brought up by the community.

 

anyone can add a mouse and keyboard to Ps4

Really - I think this should be a big step for Dark Orbit being able to add a controller to the game the guys in development, it should not be a big deal for them to figure out a way to put in controllers to game - they just don't want to do it that's why they have the test servers for to experiment with new stuff

well there is a lot of teams out there like ex Nintendo programmers employees looking for work they know how to add controllers to games lol

that's why a player would have a choice to use a controller or a keyboard

 

honestly my bet is the programmers are too stupid and slow. by the time they finish the glitched out horrible and stupid looking game on ps4 this game is going to be shut down for lack of players. i mean really it takes these people 6 months to start working on a fix that every other game i play would fix in 2 weeks or even a month. they may not have many employees but look at minecraft, they started small but stayed consistent and listened to the players

 

You guys seem to forget.

Bigpoint is not a large company that can make the title available for consoles. On top of that, you have to remember how unpopular this game is. Go to your school and ask everyone if they know or played Darkorbit. I guarantee to you that you will have less than 1% of the people there to say they have.

And with how the in-game pricing is to purchase Uridium and other items, yea, Bigpoint does not have the funding to develop it. It would require hiring a new team to design it, and that's something they cannot and will not do.

 

This is a PC game, why must it be on ps4 also? do you not have a PC available to play it on?

 

Same reason people have Battlefield 4 or CoD for PCs, XBox and PS (And yes, there are people who own all three devices, and have bought the game for all three).

 

seriously theres just no way they have the budget to port this to ps4. people complain how bad this is just think if they had this garbage AND glitched it out on a new system! and of course theres no way they have the people or money to do it with everyone quitting the game and them not adding anything new to this, and the few updates they manage arent what anyone asked for AND they screw it up on top of that, delay everything after because their current update is such a mistake. seems all they know how to do is screw up
