PS4 version?

Any chance of a PS4 version of Galactic Civilizations 3?

 

I loved no. 2 but would much rather be able to play on PS4.

We do not have any plans for console versions.

Turn based strategy games like this have never done well on consoles. They are generally just to complicated to control comfortably on a console controler. Also, as far as I know Stardock has never had anything to do with consoles.

I just gotta ask, was this intended as a troll thread?  Everyone else seems to have taken it seriously, but...

Just plug your second monitor into the TV if it can handle it.

A few have worked very well though and even if the control scheme is not perfect it being a turn based can compensate that somewhat, also with PS4 supposedly being similar to PC this seems likes a better time than ever for console ports.

Nope serious thread. I would very much like a console version.

Maybe if they get a Linux version of the game, you could play it on a steam machine. 

 

Maybe they will add support for the Steam Controller.

Interesting fact - the PS4 OS will recognize a mouse. Its less clear if Sony will let a game use it, but they should if it's a secondary option.
