Rhoa racing? You mean like the old isometric Rock 'n Roll Racing, with shooting and pimping out your rhoa for some extra bling? Dude, I'd be all over that.

I assume that was a reference to this fun thread.

Goooood job being so condescending, I guess that the community are but sheeps that should listen to your wise words, right ?
Defender of PoE for the greater good !

I removed the salty paranoia-like parts of the message of course ( as much as I dislike some of the porting here ).

Actually no, and if we have several people independently suggesting the same it can't be a bad idea, as they said 'nobody who speaks German can be an evil man'.

And sure, steering wheel is a big must in that case, also motion controllers and VR support.

Did you even read the opening post or apparently just read the subject title? I pointed to the Rhoa racing thread. Why do you say no that wasn't it?

Sure, it's the same thing. Right, I see Regulator had some posts in there, then he probably was referring to it.

Finally an anouncement that has some value and explains EVERYTHING. It was planned ALL along to make PoE a platform game, thats why the arcade silliness with traps, running and jumping around like frogger or prince of persia, thats why the full damage no defence playstyle which is arcade-ish in nature like Contra, GGG knew how to prepare their community, they added a platform game inside their game and no-one bated an eye (while gating character customazaation in the progress), and as soon as they announce a platform port for the game everyone starts losing their minds (which besides the initial cost which was indeed founded by pc supporters the deal and future merchandize will be more than enough to bring profits and aid the development of both pc and xbox versions and literally doesnt affect anyone other at least for the near future).


Well played community for once again you show how stupid and self-conceited you are. I say agaain watch when they implement rhoa racing inside poe and gate ascendancy-like classes/points behind it, cause you give them way too many freedoms to fuck up with the game you suddenly remembered you supported to create.

Well done GGG, you struck another deal, got some cash etc all good things, really good job and i mean it. On top of that you got a fanbase that is on a large scale blind fanboyz who no matter your decisions will support verbally and economically with tooth and nail you cause even if your additions are not true to the game's roots and original vision.

A big fuck off to both for ruining what was going to be one of the cornerstones in gaming history in the ARPG genre (now simply an arcade/run and jump piece of shit ported to another piece of shit product)

Well the reality game designers have to face is that less and less people own a PC. They use Tablets, Laptops and Smartphones, which are less ideal to play games like PoE on.

The issue is that some games, exspecially RTS, or Strategy Titles in general as well as top down ARPGs (1st or 3rd person ARPGs are already all over consoles, see Mass Effect or Dark Souls) are a bit harder to make work with a controller because they were natively designed for a keyboard and a mouse.

The first game were it was obvious how incredible flawed controller controls for PC designed games are was Oblivion. The original release version was the game which likely had one of the worst UIs ever for an overall still great game.

So as a designer you are kinda in a bad spot. Your original customers are PC users, but this market is shrinking, so you need to expand, now unless you want to design two different games you will have to sacrifice a few things in both versions.


However I highly doubt the Labyrinth has anything to do with that. A more likely thing is that the Labyrinth was something they wanted to do earlier, but couldn't because it would be unplayable with the old desync issues. Which is why they introduced it after fixing desync.



Rhoa racing though, it sounds cool and it isn't even so far of from a lore point. We still have to visit some of the folks, not sure which culture would do that. But I always wanted to see other ways to get Ascendancy, although it isn't a top priority. We could visit Theopolis at some point, were we could Ascend in arena fights, we could visit the Karui, maybe they are doing Rhoa races. I always like games that have games within, and since GGG already draw so many from Final Fantasy, why not the minigames (although they should be a bit less mini).
