PS4 is much easier to publish, says Paradox

Today we attended an exclusive presentation of War of the Vikings, a sequel to War of the Roses by Paradox.

We’ll publish our first impressions soon, but for now we thought it would be interesting to share some information we learned by discussing with Executive Producer Gordon Van Dyke. When asked about a possible console release, he admitted that the possibility is interesting to the team, but then proceeded to explain that PlayStation 4 would be a much more likely candidate than Xbox One, since he knows for a fact how the whole process with hosting etc. is much harder on Microsoft’s latest console.

 

Of course, I’ll add that this conversation occurred before the announcement made at Microsoft’s Gamescom conference, but then again I find extremely unlikely that a developer wouldn’t have prior knowledge of something that has been rumored to happen fora while before today. We’ll keep asking developers how they feel about next-gen consoles during Gamescom.
