How come Age of Empires 4 isnt coming to Xbox One if Phill cares about Xbox?

Playing Tropico 5 on PS4 I haven't had any issue with excess of information on the screen or being blocked. Sure the controller sometime would be imprecise to select what I wanted, but no issue. And I have played it on 29" (2ft away) up to 65" (6ft away) with no issue reading anything.

It was certainly playable, just not as comfortable as I was used to on pc. RTS is more like a desk game to me so I can easily lean in and precisely place things, keeping the view zoomed out for overview, lean in to check the details. That doesn't work from the couch, unless you have a very long neck :)

But then you are not only offering an inferior version, but outright offering a version that offers less and plays much worse than the actual original game.And paying the same ammount, mind you.

 

Not every game needs to release on every single playform, especially the ones that were born and were design with a PC in mind.

True, yet you can play consoles behind a desk as well with kb+mouse. Nothing stopping them nowadays. We had Kinect required games, we have psvr + move required games, we had steering wheel required games (Project cars with controller sucks) so why no kb+mouse required games...

Haven't played it on PC so I can't tell... but comparing to what RTS I used to play over 10 years ao on PC, yes I agree the experience with KB+M was faster, better and easier.

But as you said that can be implemented in consoles... even SNES had a Mouse long ago. It basically depends on the dev thinking it is justifiable or not, and considering that is a 1st party studio on a HW that really needs exclusives they should put it.

Project Cars on controller is very bad I agree (doesn't really looks like a sim at all), but why and how it becomes better on wheel?
