Sounds like there's little need to go that route as I don't see the PS4 version coming anytime soon based on that interview. Why waste the cash when you've already got a major head start?

obviously this $$$ from microsoft came with a requirement of launch exclusivity
as well it should have, of course
Who knows what they are doing. It's probably not going to come to PS4 until a full retail release anyway.

So the gamepad mapping is going to be the same as every other FPS ever?
I for one am SHOCKED. Bumper Jumper still being robbed in 2017.
Also the water tech from SoT is cool but is it really all that necessary when the majority of gameplay takes place on land? Seems like it'd be pretty performance-costly.

Well, they sold off Sony Online Entertainment, which made a 7.2 million unit selling Battle Royale game before PUBG ever came out.

I mean, it's clearly exclusive to Xbox in this time period so why would Sony send there people's over there now when they have no release date or certainty that they are even getting this game?

They can pair it down so it can look more appropriate, while also taking less resources. It's good looking water, they don't need the crazy simulation that SoT is doing.
Given how big the game is, they should hire Bluepoint or Nixxes.

Great catch by MS. A healthy Xbox is good for everyone and I was beginning to worry Sony could go back to late PS2 levels of comfortable.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
If there was ever a more perfect opportunity for Sony to come to their senses about cross-platform play, it would be this game.
Minecraft is old news.
This is the next big thing.
Step up, Sony.
Which was?

For how great it looked in the various Sea of Thieves beta rounds, it's crazy how zero impact it seemed to be on the overall scene performance on XB1. I have a feeling it's more about "clever" tech than brute-forcing anything.

either the latter, or they pay royalties to use it
On a game they probably won't get for a year at most?

I bet it'll take at least 2019 to release on PS4, especially if the game stays in early access till 2018, and with the low staff count scrambling to finish the PC version and essentially port to Xbox.
Even if it's 1 year exclusive, I bet the timer doesn't kick in until the game is out of early access. Start counting for PS5 port (or PS4 port forward-compatible with PS5).

Having MSs tech teams there to support them will be invaluable.
Im sure once the XB/PC versions are out and stable the PS4 build wont be too far behind. And all this help MS is giving them on the XB/PC the enhancements and knowledge they would ahve gain should make moving to PS4 even easier for them.
How hard could it be to port UE4 to PS4?
<-- Has no idea.
Well, they're not exactly small. It's a 500 person company.

PR is PR.
Better to get the ball rolling on word of mouth before it gains traction and it becomes a talking point for Xbox.

I would be wayyyy more interested in sea of thieves if it was a pirate pubg .
Maybe they can both learn from each other

Going from 120 ppl to 300 is hopefully a good sign for future updates.
That's the only state its ever been announced as for its launch, AFAIK. Part of why it worked as an entry point for consoles at all.

If MS payed for exclusivity as a part of their agreement, there's nothing Sony can do until that agreeement is over.

Hoping this is a success for Microsoft and everyone involved. Looking forward to trying it out on the X later this year if I can afford it.
Are you sure that isn't BRENDANGREENE?

i don't know exactly what you try to say here, but yes
knowledge, experience, quality personal and IP has value and is not free
but $$$ is the least Bluehole needs right now. PUBG is making more than enough of that.
and Microsoft does not do this out of generosity, because they want this game to make them a shit ton of $$$ on their platform

You're onto something
I spent quite some time in the alpha just looking at the ocean, its amazing
Also more water
And its not even for the game unit sales, more so for the $$$ that Microtransaction revenue brings to them as a platform holder.
It's easier to complain about how microsoft's moneyhat is keeping this game out of PS4 and how Phil Spencer is an hypochrite for saying he doesnt like timed deals when you simplify everything to just money
People are still debating how much MS paid for "exclusivity" and how long it will last with no confirmation of any deal being real when Greene himself said that the early access program made it easier to release for xbox

So we're guessing that PlayerUnknown is bound to refuse any advances from Sony to get their port going?
Why do people think they are small developers?
Regardless, the sooner this game comes to consoles, the better.

Seems like an extraordinary support for something that's only timed. But then the game could be the next gta3 so that would pay off big time.

Is this Brendan Greene a YouTube/Twitch Personality? I've never heard of PLAYERUNKNOWN before all the buzz around this game.
Even if it wasnt Timed, that could drag out Dave time for 2 years by being multi platform and ported by such a small team and it may just be too late.
He was a modder for ARMA. He's more like Icefrog.

None of those. He was a modder. If I recall correctly, PLAYERUNKNOWN was his handle in ARMA games.
