BeamNG should remain PC exclusive and un-consolized.

Yes, but as CK said, it's the last option they would want to pick. They are doing everything they can to avoid having to downgrade the game.

 

no one said it was an end goal also it does open a door to bring it to consoles and opens the door for better optimization there's no downgrade nor bad thing about a console port

 

??? I think your miss reading what i said you don't open a door for no reason and optimization isn't enough for anything when the game has so as it is. that just feels like a only falling back point, i mean we dont even know all the details this all really new. so we can't just say optimization for the game is the best thing over everything else on the table. too why would optimization be the main point every update before had alot more to talk about over the game running better, too this had been talked about for what i can remember a better part of a 1 or years. can't just use optimization as hope. so think we need a deeper look then just game runs better. that never help's a game stay and be played if a user base has been around for 10ish years now with that being said ill wait to see if this is even a good idea in the long run of things. but for all people stop looking at game runs better and look at the deeper stuff. sorry if its not spoken the best.

 

You should make an "I was right" thread and just wait for the apologies to flood in.

 

I accidentally agreed :skull:. (It’s either a good or bad thing)

 

That is... literally the opposite of what he said. Can you... read?

 

its planned to release, and its already on the ps5 store. you cannot stop it from coming out (alone, atleast).
this will bring an even larger playerbase to beamng, and give the dev team revenue to continue developing the piece of art that is beamng.

i get the claims around optimization, but, ready or not is an entirely different game, with entirely different developers. just because VOID downgraded, doesnt mean beamng will.

also, i will mention this: that trailer was filmed entirely on ps5. this is some considerably solid evidence that the game is going to run fine on ps5.

another thing here: they probably didnt release it to xbox because then they would have to optimize it [the series s has underpowered graphics and only 10gb of RAM], so feel glad about that.

 

yeah i misunderstood what you said mb! im not the best at reading lmao

 

optimizing isnt downgrading, it literally means to deliver same work with less resources, all the dev teams ive worked with all went by this, its literally just shaving unnecessary processing and freeing it for things that need. the whole steamdeck thing is a point for that, the game you currently play on your not that fancy anymore gaming pc is the same that runs on steamdeck, and the steamdeck is literally a tablet with sticks. The PS5 btw is literally just a computer running linux, we arent in PS3 days were they need to develop a entire game only for it, they just sorta have to make it run on linux which it already does

 

Ohhhh, a ragebait post.

 

Fyi most people that play and even mod this game have PC hardware that's inferior to a ps5 lol
I played and modded beamng for 3 years while having a 3 3100 and a 5500xt, which is about a ps5 level pc, I know people that play and mod the game on 2010s Intel core i5s and 1060 or rx580s
You are just a stupid fuck that wants to complain for the sake of it, I will make sure to tell all modders to especially optimize their mods for PS5 just to spite you. I will make my textures 64x64, remove half of the nodes from my cars and make my models at PS2 car game level quality

 

He acts like a PS5 port is the end of the world. Peak ungratefulness.

 

Wow, this is the worst take of any take anyone has had on this forum and I'm probably not even joking. Leave kid, we don't want you here.

I, for one, feel that BeamNG should be as accessible to everyone as possible. That's why I love the existence of the Linux port. I love that they're moving a port to the PS5. I love they have a setting for the Steam Deck.

I hope they give a Mac port a shot now. Let as many people as possible enjoy this great game.

 

Be happy the devs unlocked a whole other market for continued streams of revenue to fund the constant stream of free updates. You think BeamNG can sustain operations without money? The devs are nice, but they're not running a charity. If the move helps them achieve their financial goals more easily, be grateful. I'm sure the entire process has been a lot of work.

 

why are you trying to gatekeep this game
besides this game has never been all to demanding for basic playability
i started on a cruddy laptop that i only stopped using because it ran out of storage
im currently on a cruddy pc that was low end before covid happened
now if you want to run it on the highest settings with a crap ton of mods it will require some good hardware
now that i think about it will consoles get mods

 

probably, since its a web-browser style mod browser like mod.io

 

If I know the PC gaming community as well as I think I do, every single person saying that Beam should stay PC only right now would be lamenting the gradual, inevitable death of the game if the devs immediately cancelled the PS5 release right now just because a few miserable pricks complained about it. I can already imagine the thumbnails: "BeamNG is DYING?! Player counts FALL!" "PS5 announcement KILLED BeamNG!" "BeamNG FAILED!!!"

Nobody's forcing you to buy a PS5. Why does it matter or bother you that someone who doesn't have a computer that can reliably Beam have a chance to play the goofy physics car game how they want to? This bullshit platform tribalism should have died when crossplay became commonplace and is only gonna do more harm than good in the long run.

Hey wait a fuckin' minute, you're the RetroTechBro guy from the Beam Subreddit. I knew I smelled the familiar stench of rotten fish when I actually gave your opening... "statement" a read.

 

Has your doctor ever spoken to you about Asperger's Syndrome?

 

this post is probably the worst take that I have ever seen. my opinion is, if you port BeamNG.drive to non-Windows devices, then it's pretty cool because you're giving more people a chance to play. sure, the graphics may differ based on what device you're on, but it's better than nothing

Linux port? pretty cool
PlayStation 5 port? even better
Mac port? even better (I'm not sure if this one will happen, though)

 

"Oh no this game I love is now going to be available for even more people and there will be a much larger community who enjoy playing it waaaaahhh waaahhh"

What kind of a take is this? I think it's a great thing that it's coming to PS5! That way SO many more people can enjoy Beam. What is the point of gatekeeping BEAMNG of all games lol
