So I have been here a few days now, thought I should introduce myself lol. I'm a 31 year old gamer living in Scotland, got a couple of small DayZ communities and a YouTube channel I mostly do guides on. I was looking for a new MMORPG as I have tried a few but none really gave me what I wanted, a realistic modern day scenario and to be honest I had just about given up on finding one when I remembered The Long Dark started out on Kickstarter so thought it was worth a shot, and that's when I first came across Identity. It is honestly the type of game I have been searching for years for, I can't wait to get stuck in and will be adding it as one of the titles my clan plays so we should be getting a server at some point too. Looking forward to making some new friends here also, and who knows, maybe we'll start that server together

Perth is pretty cool, beautiful out in the sticks where I live but yes, the UK is not the best lol

What about a free first ticket at least? I will give you a good review lol Sorry to disappoint you man but I'm English I just think it sucks and Scotland is better lol

I don't think it's been that much in detail yet buddy, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough

Well that all depends... do I get a forum discount? Lol

Mechanics will have a tow truck I believe, can't find the tweet now but I am pretty sure I saw it

You too man

There really is no need for such comments man. We are just trying to have a debate after all.

I guess the answer to the original question "Why would it be good for console release?" is simple If it works, it means more sales lol

Best point made so far, we're all playing it on PC so what's it matter! Lol

Healthy for console? If it's made for console wouldn't it be tuned for it like? I don't see your point. I don't mean controlling the game with a keyboard, I mean typing lol. The average console gamer isn't 12. This all just sounds like the typical PC vs console argument, there hasn't really been a valid reason not to make it for console in my opinion, if it was not technically possible then so be it but so far it just seems people are hating and being quiet rude about console players in general.

Why would you need to send more than that on here? What are you messaging about lol. Five is quite low I agree but you could just swap contact information like Steam or TS and then talk there if needed.

I don't get the first bit to be honest lol Consoles have keyboards these days Lag exists for PC too I don't know trackmania either, and I was a console player until last year, I am not 12 lol

Thanks guys

Just going by what one of the Devs said on twitter

Thanks but I did see it before, released last year not years back, consoles have never really been part of alphas/betas until recently.

Oh I had forgot about that, thanks man looking back at it now it was released on old gen first, then new gen and then PC, usually though it was released a few months later on PC so I remember that one being more about moving it up to next gen console as it originally wasn't supposed to be. Most releases were months apart in the GTA series normally though.

Can anyone give an example of a game that was released years later on another platform? I am really curious about it now and can't find anything.

I can't stand Reddit to be honest, but that's a different story lol. I think it's pretty biased what your saying, but that's your opinion and what's a community without a nice little debate.

Just curious where this 20% figure came from? To say people may not be ready due to the platform they play on seems a little harsh, and as long as your having fun then your playing it right, right? Lol. Look at DayZ for example, some play it for RP in a huge way, some more relaxed and others as a purely PvP game.

Am I missing something that's really obvious? Lol. I just don't understand this three years later thing, has it been this way with another game? It just seems strange to me to release something so much later just because it's on a different platform, or is that the norm? Look at it this way, if you were on console instead of PC would you be happy to wait years to play a game? I know I wouldn't lol, releasing it that much later would be missing the window of opportunity if you ask me, someone will have done something different/new in that time.

Three years? That's an awful long time. You can still enjoy it on PC whether it's on console or not, I don't see any advantage to making it PC only, I mean the Xbox/PlayStation thing is just about rivalry and the games they limit to their console they normally back themselves so it wouldn't really work that way for PC. Look at it this way, the more platforms means more players, the bigger it gets the better in my opinion, could open up so much more opportunities.

Welcome Noob, where abouts are you from? What are you most excited about in Identity?

You must have heard of PlayStation Home? That was all about player interaction and was popular for a while too and with control pads being supported on PC I don't see why it wouldn't work on console, I think if the devs want to make it as big of a success as they can, and its possible to make, they should go at it! Go beast it go home as we say lol

I think it's a bit unfair to say people won't interact, it depends on the players/teams etc. Some of my good friends I met playing on console, and are still friends with to this day, it's like saying all kids are immature, it's simply not true. MAG was huge when it come out, won a lot of awards and was actually a really tactical game with huge teams and a lot of communication to win, it really was a lot of fun. I'm actually met a lot more trolls/unfriendly people on PC to be honest, but I wouldn't go back to console now either.
