console update?

I bought this game from watching Neebs gaming play it and it looked awesome, Its still cool but the game theyre playing on pc is night and day from what I bought for ps4. Not gonna lie I feel kinda jipped guys. Is the console version gonna get compound bows and all the other new recipes and changes at some point? If it is then cool but if not that's really ♥♥♥♥ty to charge 30 bucks for an alpha demo versio that's never gonna get finished.

Thanks for reading my comment.

You should have bought the product Neeb's advertised....

(The plan is that someday console will be brought into as close alignment with PC as it possibly can.)

News for CONSOLE versions is only announced by Clare in the console news forum.

All information you need is on 7 Days to Die - Console Forum.

You are on 7 Days to Die - PC forum, so no need to type here about console version.

 
Wouldn't you have to take into consideration that some mobs can path in 3 dimensions instead of just 2 while designing the pathing to have a chance to get it to work when it is time to add that "advanced feature." Spider Zombies climb. It is their distinguishing feature. Having pathing that works for them, while less important than general pathing of the 90% of mobs that can't climb vertically, seems like it would be relatively important.

The pathing is 3d now, but it is jumping 3d, not walk around anywhere 3d. Spiders will get their day in court. Just not today.

 
I don't know if your implying that would be a bad thing, but i feel it wouldn't be terrible. I guess it might take away from the difficulty of the game, but it feels more realistic to me... coming from someone who is a big fan of the walking dead. zombies are stupid and they don't see a trap coming, but stupid zombies lead to redundant game play. Hard to say what to do. I guess that's why you have different types of zombies eg. spider. because that way one tactic doesn't work for all.

and while you are getting bored with the zombie ai taking that path, another player or a small group of bandits snipe or rocket launcher a section of your base. Just keeping things lively. a lone bandit out on horde night can make things deadly

To be fair, I think it would be nice if buyers would be better presented the information that console version is lacking content compared to the PC version.

As far as I understand, the console version is NOT sold as alpha and there is no promise of it ever having all PC features. For a regular buyer, it might not be so obvious though.

The animal types changed. There are more animals than originally listed but they aren't exactly the ones named. I think there will be at least one more added at some point. Some things on the stretch goals will be added post launch replacing other things that were originally going to be post launch but moved up in priority once they got going.

I wonder if there is a way to use the socket system in Navez in order to randomize it a little. All the roads stay the same as well as the terrain, but the important POIs can all change locations based on their size and where they can 'fit' on the already marked areas. So for example, Dishong tower may be able to fit where the hospital is, or a Trader is the same size as another POI so it can be randomly put there. That way the Devs get more playability out of the map they worked so hard on. As long as all the important POIs necessary for the story are included it shouldn't mess with the story. May have to alter some dialogue lines (i.e. "That place is located near [x] town." Program looks up where said POI is located in this version and inserts the location, or grid points), or make them more vague as to locations of things.

 
Its not even a stretch goal. Its listed as a core feature of the game on the kickstarter page

I may have already read that but not remembered it. I sounds like it will be........wait what were we talking about.

faatal will need to correct me if I'm not completely accurate here:
His primary goal is to correct pathing and targeting of blocks as the basic features of all the zombies. This will make the zombies more purposeful and less likely to get stuck on things or to hit blocks by accident as they are prone to do.

"Advanced features" will include coding that will do things like randomize zombie behavior so that the same zombie doesn't 100% always act the same and so that players can't count on zombies always doing what they expect them to do. They also include handling special abilities like climbing for the spiders. Finally, faatal mentioned the behavior of spreading out along a wall to attack multiple points at once vs piling up and giving a buff to zombies hitting a wall at one point will be something that falls in the realm of advanced features.

All we know right now is the basic features of choosing an optimum path and being able to better target specific blocks which more than anything will help more zombies get stuck or spinning/ going in circles much less often.

To be honest, I am around 99.87% sure I will play this game when it goes gold no matter what is added/removed, how big/small backpacks are, if zombies start building bases and git gud, or even if Rolands unthinkable dream of absolutely no HUD comes to fruition.

The other .13% is just my brain being an ass....it knows I will 100% play.

 
You people know what would be fun?
A piece of actual, worthwhile news.

If you've never played Sphereii's invisible HUD mod, I just gave it. Get the mod launcher, download invisible HUD mod, and get ready for full cinematic 7 Days to Die.

Just you on top of the world....looking down on creation...

 
If “for awhile here” means about two weeks then yes, we’re in a holding pattern for news. If longer than that then please check the first page of this thread.

 
Is the Mod called '7 Days to be Eaten?' :)

Sounds appropriate =)

I build up so the door is on the second floor. So I have to go up (removable wood frames) before I can go down to the first floor.

I do the same for new chill builds sillls. Door up top and 1st level's all solid.

Hey.. say Irish Wrist Watch 5x fast.
