Wewt! Now I can play space crack on my PS4! Thank you Paradox for finding even more ways to enslave me...
 
Which variant of Stellaris is this going to be? The earliest version, with the multiple FTL's, the one after that or the current one?

Not counting the many different patches and DLC's I mean.

Most companies don't give you games across multiple platforms. Microsoft does it with specific games bought through a specific service and that's basically it.

The norm is no, so while it is theoretically possible that Paradox will go against that, it is highly unlikely.
 
That's all nice, but game is barely playable in current state.

Why would you want to shoot yourself in the foot? :eek:
 
I hope it won't happen, but if I didn't know anything about Paradox games, and I'd buy Stellaris 1.7 based on a trailer that heavily implies that during gameplay, the player would I dunno, experience these sweeping cinematic vistas, or animated close-ups of planets during menu navigation, I wouldn't be able to hit the refund button hard enough....It looks like an X game with story overlays from this trailer....

Again, if I didn't bother to check out gameplay of their other titles or this game....which while in today's world being irresponsible, think of all those non-paradox fans they're aiming to capture with this....

Unless 1.7 console Stellaris (edit) automatically does these, again, grandiose and sweeping close-ups during gameplay by itself, for atmospheric reasons, this is one of the least representative of gameplay trailers that I've seen from a company in awhile.

To clarify, the trailer heavily IMPLIES visual situations that in the standard PDX game amount of hours, I've never seen in Stellaris unless I panned close to a planet, or during a battle. Hope this helps with the hype instead of fuel future refunds....but I'm sure someone whose job depends on this, and knows way more about marketing since they do it for a living, than I do, took a look and said yea, this'll work.

Ok, so you HAVE seen these visual situations in Stellaris. Thanks for clearing that up.

yea, like I don't wanna be verbally disingenuous and say this is the fakest thing this side of blah blah blah....to be clear: the shots in this video are ENTIRELY dependent on the player causing this to happen for their own like, visual enjoyment, and most of them would almost never organically (in my OPINION and experience) during any playthrough of the game. (EDIT) That's the point I think you're sorta ignoring, my post isn't "hur dur this isn't what the game is"...there're words like "implies" that kinda make the statement not ambiguous as to where I think the trailer's a bit off...

Like this is what my stellaris experience would look like, if I took the time to pan around and zoom in and out, while at the same time also reading the menus and information presented.

I wanna be clear that there's no flippancy intended towards you, cause you were decent enough to also quote the "unless" part. Like I don't wanna accuse you of missing the point on purpose or anything cause I don't think it'd be fair to assume that based on the amount of flair you've got on your profile badge, I'd be willing to bet my last $20 that your stellaris experience doesn't look like the trailer either, as far as the vistas sweeping around and all...which was the whole theme.

I'm not sure I get your point other than that you kinda ended with "thanks for clearing that up" when it's fairly clear in the part of the post you left out...so while I don't wanna score points or anything cause I don't think(?) we're there yet....do you think the trailer accurately reflects a stellaris experience to someone who's unfamiliar with how PDX games look...? Honest question. Cause I'm sure you've got more playtime than I do, and I'm crazy blown away that you needed that cleared up.

PS: reason I brought it up, is that the forums are likely not populate by the new, console people they're trying to attract....cause you need to link up with Steam, etc., like the forums are full of PC players probably familiar with the games, not the mom at Gamestop (or whatever) who's buying a game for their kid based on a trailer they saw somewhere....
