Greenfist 1863 Posted June 12, 2017 No there is not. Unless this very thread is the rumor you're referring to. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacePilotMax 47 Posted June 12, 2017 It's just impossible. The controls are too complicated for a controller. Not to even mention that Arma is a very niche game and the release costs to go on console probably won't pay. And the devs are already busy porting it to Mac and Linux. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope not, as i would rather the Dev team concentrate their efforts on the current game platforms. Also what benefits would there of it been on a console? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeza 5416 Posted June 12, 2017 Doubt that very much, closed system no mods (which is the main thing for arma series), the controls as mentioned but from a hardware standpoint arma 3 being an incredibly cpu intensive game and even with the new xbox x its equivalent cpu is an i3 which not even close to minimum requirements for arma 3. So all of that console gamers would end up getting an incredibly chopped down, significantly less good looking game and as mentioned a small player base at launch as its clearly not for everyone, so the console lot really would be a poor deal and the devs would have to invest huge amount of resources to get it to 'console' level no one is a winner at the end of the day. As roadkill says I imagine devs will continue this series on this platform and continue to work on the next installment on this platform also. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delta3242 399 Posted June 12, 2017 Arma can barely run on a two thousand dollar gaming computer, what makes you think it would run on a 200-500 dollar console? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Already a thing if you're inclined to check it out; https://dev.arma3.com/ports The same page also addresses your query regarding a console port ("Arma 3 will remain a PC-exclusive").

Arma 3 as it is being ported to consoles would make no sense if all you wanted was BR...which would be pointless as you'd be missing out on the other part of A3 that isn't about twitch shooter game modes. That being said...Project Argo and whatever spin-off that gets created from it eventually, will probably be as close as A3 will ever get to what you want: Quote What is Bohemia Incubator and how does it relate to Project Argo? [...] Ultimately, the much longer-term aim of this project is to develop a similar (most likely Arma-related) multi-platform game on a different engine. [...] But I still don't see how it would be feasible as even something like Argo is pushing it in terms of controls on a console. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got ripped off. I can run it fine on a console-price PC. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
