Now this I am looking forward to. Lets hope the port to console goes well.
Always curious to see how titles that are so much aligned with PC gaming will be translated to console.
That's always a concern of mine with console versions of mouse-heavy games such as Anno, but generally, things seem to work out - at least judging by the reception, as far as I can see (I haven't looked that hard though).
That is good them. I played Tropico 5 and was mostly a good experience.
Oh dear, how can anything be played on a console because the controller is just not made for playing, it's just not? Dear oh dear oh dear.
Annos have always been Mouse-driven by default, with some keyboard shortcuts.
Wonder how that translates into console handling.
Though a PSVR 3D-Anno would make me think thrice about a console..
I think Cities: Skylines, which is also quite mouse-heavy and, in some ways, similar to Anno, seems to have translated well to consoles. I don't expect there to be much trouble here either, although consoles might not be the greatest fit either. Still, it'll probably be quite enjoayble for the console folks.
Anno 1800 is great, the series is great, sunk a lot of hours into it. It was already full of content, and I don’t know how much will be in this version, but the many expansions have made the game a bit bloated.
