PC Just writing a post so it is known there still interest in waiting for console updates. Yes I have read forums

Maybe put the console section post under review first? Every post needs to be reviewed by a mod to unlock it (especially from new registered users with 0 posts). Then decline those neverending whining posts and just refer them to the link? Obviously a big red banner on top is not enough. Maybe make it half the screen big and force users to open the link, scroll through and confirm at the end before they can even post?

 
A long time ago, when the Telltale Games problem occurred, they had said that they already had a new update ready for the consoles. What happened to this one? Couldn't they launch it as a farewell? I know that having no support this update can bring serious problems that can never be solved ... but I think we all agree that the risk is preferable to having a dead game in the console library.

 
I don't have any inside information, this is just some guessing from someone who knows a lot about programming:

I seem to remember someone (IG?) saying the update was 70% or 80% (or some other number in that range) finished. Now take that percentage with a grain of salt because often the last 20% of the work take 80% of the time in programming (and it is not clear whether that purported percentage was about code or time). So, assuming IronGalaxy was working on the update for a year it could take them another 4 months or another year. A different developer unfamiliar with the code would need to add maybe another 2 months.

Usually most debugging is done last so just dumping this update to users would be not useful at all, likely a lot of systems don't even run and secfault immediately. Also the time for debugging is always underestimated. If IG really did an accurate estimation of the needed time they would be one of a rare breed of game developers.

One of the most critized bugs is the Xbox save bug. I don't think TFP could release an update without fixing that bug. But it is not at all clear if that is even possible without rewriting the file handling subsystem. It isn't even clear if that might need more resources like RAM and because RAM is already scarce would need even more changes and possibly might make it impossible. There is also a rule from MS and Sony that savegames must be (backwards or both ways?) compatible, is it even possible to solve the issue and follow that rule? I don't know, I can only say there is a chance this alone prevents any thought about an update.

Ok, I'm a pessimist. But I'm 99% sure just releasing what is there is impossible. And developing a version that TFP could release without getting flak from all sides and more importantly that would go through the quality check at Microsoft and Sony might take from 4 to 18 months (best to worst)

 
ik that the game devs of seven days to die  are not updateing console anymore cause of there own reason and im not asking that they start making updates for console but i hope they can atleast for now make bug fixs for what we currently have on console including duplication glitches i would assume it wouldn't be as hard as making a whole new update with more features although im not  sure but if you guys see this and are looking at these post give some thought on atleast fixing bugs on the current version in till you guys are able to release more content it seems like  reasonable request who agrees here

 
Working on bug fixes isn't much different from working on an update with new content. We've already discussed this to death several times over.

 
im sorry im new to the fourms wasnt informed next time ill make sure to search a look i was just saying my thoughts on the matter

 
Hello,

When is the update of alpha 19 coming out to consoles (ps4)

I've been playing this game since it came out and stopped cause no updates were added!

Now I heard this new update is out!

So keep us console players informed if any progress has been made.🤨

Brgds,

The current console hardware is not capable of supporting the client past Alpha 16.

Any further details on updates for the console have already been discussed in-depth recently.

You should probably do some looking around and research before you make offensive posts in all caps.

Here are a few examples from the First page of this forum. It's not like you even had to dig to find them.

Why are TFP still selling 7d2d on consoles?

Loyalty & Respect

console updates rethink - sign petition

Hopes and Worries about the Telltale Closure and Future of Console Edition

If you chose to flip to Page 2 of posts.

The Last Update

Update Xbox version please

Could we at least get an update from the devs?

Will there be a console update?

7d2d console idea (fundraising?)

Console Updates?

It's not like any of those topics are really old either. They go back to the first of June.

 
Is console updated to the point of no fog of war view constantly or is it still there? I quit 7dtd due to the bad move telltale made but wanting to return with my girlfriend and friends. But my main concern is the fog that wont allow you to view for long distances. Also we're looking for the more recent stuff.

 
I don't understand why you guys have such a hard time looking at the existing threads before starting a new one.

Allow me to reply a little more politely.

If I remember right, you can increase view distance in single player only. Multiplayer has to have the fog for loading purposes or whatever. 

No new content I'm afraid, console is finished for now man. Most likely only hope is next generation. 

 
When are the console players getting an update? Yalls game means alot to me, I've been playing since it came out and I still love it to this day but it feels like yall are just abandoning half of your gamer audience, like yall dont care about us....at least give us some news or something...anything...please.

 
I sure did, did you see the date of that post? I'm guessing you are a PC player. We get it, you got your full game congrats, the rest of us are still in the dark here.

I feel sorry for whoever taught you to read. They must really suck at teaching. Or you just really suck at reading.

Here is a quote from one of those recent topics that you completely failed to notice.

To get the next update;

1). Buy PC.

2). Buy game... again.

3). Play the most recent Alpha cause this game is far from done on PC.

4). Return back to console version since they screwed it up on PC.

Though seriously, they MAY look into releasing a new version of the game years down the road for next gen, but even then I wouldn't hold your breath on it. After getting burned by Telltale, they may not seek to venture into that realm ever.

I had really hoped they would've collaborated with Iron Galaxy, and maybe they have talked behind closed doors. But for this game on console, it's officially done.

 
Seriously dude? 
There is a massive red bar at the top of the Console section of the forum, and 2/3'rds of the threads on the first two pages you can look at for an answer before you start a thread.

Please try to think for yourself at least a little bit, and do some research before you ask a question.

 
It'd be real nice if they could put that somewhere when purchasing the game. It's ridiculous that I had to pay more to get less content. Nowhere does anything mention that the console version is far behind; so I have to do research after seeing an ad for a game now? 

This is the first time I've ever seen a game cost more on console version yet be nowhere near as complete on the PC. I find it disappointing that it was so difficult to even find out why so much was missing. It's not like you can even easily find it from the front page; shame. 

 
I am streaming 7 Days to Die on TWITCH and i have seen the PC version, and then i start wonder when does these updates on PC get to us gamers on PS4 & XBOX, because a

lot is missing for us on Console.

Also what will happen when the new PS5 & XBOX get released, is there anybody who have any idea about what will happen then.maybe "The Fun Pimps" would like to share their vision and ideas?

A little info, there would be more 7 Days to Die gamers on PS4 if the new updates got to PS4 instead of some skin bundles
