Kopa i also really wished this game was on PS4


Yeah that would be pretty awesome if it was.


I heard a rumour that they will be releasing it for PS4 in May!


that rumor isnt true cause its still in alpha on pc, and its no where near ready for console, although in the past tech posts on ttg they did say they depending on the success of the game on pc, itll determine if they port it over at a later time


Maybe that's why they are adding a lot more dev to their team o.0


NO. don't you read the articles? they added a lot of people because the head leader left, and they wanna get their stuff back.


Yes, VIT this is true, but also they could be trying to dish out those errors the game has faster for they could port it over to consoles faster.
