Currently you need to use a third party program like DS4Win (this is what I used internally to test a lot of the PS4 gamepad functionality) in order to use a PS4 controller on the PC version of Spellbreak. We hope to have native support in the future but that's still a while out.
We're working hard on additional optimizations, stability improvements, and other performance enhancements targeted at PS4. It's always a difficult chicken and egg scenario when it comes to a beta like this - we need a decently large base of diverse players to find crashes and performance problems at scale, but we also want to provide the best possible experience for those of you kind enough to take the founder pack plunge.
Everyone has a different comfort level for a founders pack beta, and we don't begrudge anyone who feels Spellbreak isn't yet ready for their money, but either way we promise we're working to make sure that the PS4 experience is one both you and Proletariat can be proud of. Thank you for taking a risk on us, and I hope we can meet your expectations very soon!
Yes of course ! I’ve realized that the pull is very strong at farther distances not much aim required. Putting your reticle near them sort of auto targets. Now the problem at far distances isn’t an issue unless they are using the ice gauntlet, considering the amount of dmg it does (it’s balanced on pc dmg is high but tricky to hit shots) it’s fairly easy to land at long distances with the aim assist pull. You could spam aim until it targets on. Best way I could explain is it is similar to call of duty on console when people quick scope with snipers. They spam left trigger until it’s locks on all they have to do is time the shit right with the pull. At closer ranges it isn’t an issue as you are able to fight back but some far shots seem a little too consistent an insane to be shot on a controller (I used to use the ps4 alot).
Thank you for the additional details! We're going to be keeping a close eye on aim assist over the beta now that we have a lot of players like yourself to help us dial it in. Hopefully we'll have some adjustments out for you very soon. :)
Full rebinding support (along with additional preset profiles) are on our list. I can't say exactly when they'll be in, but it's definitely something we intend to support.
Do you have any further details you can share about how/why you feel that aim assist is broken? Is it too strong? Is it not strong enough? Somewhere in between?
Can you disable this? PC vs PS4 would be an unfair advantage for the PC player
You can opt out of cross matching on PS4 if you want to.
Do you know if they are working on it?
We are. :)
Hey Jesse,
I missed out on the first closed beta on PC, but I'm extremely interested in this game as my household has two PS4s and one PC and three people super interested in playing MOBAs together.
What's the targetted frame rate on PS4? Are PC players at 60+ fps going to dominate PS4 players locked at 30, or is PS4 targetting 60 fps? I'd feel a LOT better buying into the closet beta knowing that the PS4 and PC will at least hit that 60 fps minimum a game like this needs.
We're aiming for a steady 60FPS on the normal PS4. We're not quite there yet but we're close, and we'll be continuing to improve PS4 optimization throughout CB2. Performance improvement was a focus between CB1 and CB2 and we'll continue that through full release. :)
I’m incredibly excited to announce today that Spellbreak will be coming to PS4! And we’re pleased to confirm that we’re working on a beta that will be available to PS4 players in early 2020.
Spellbreak is a fantasy battle royale where you play as a battlemage, casting huge spells, combining primal elements, and literally flying through the world (or Teleporting, Shadowstepping, or a myriad of other movement abilities.). Guns and grenades can only take you so far and we wanted to explore something different, something that harkens back to the fantasy books that we grew up reading.
We took our inspiration from old-school shooters with skill shots and crazy mobility and we added in some modern twists to make a combat system that truly embodies fantasy action spellcasting. Add to that our spin on battle royale with elements of rogue-like gam...
Read moreSpellbreak has been in community development since the summer of 2018. We have released over 40 total updates and the game has been played by thousands of players. Since the start, the community has been a valuable partner in shaping the direction of Spellbreak’s development and we could not be more excited to continue that work through Closed Beta 1 and beyond. The goal of this post is to explain our high level plan for the next major Spellbreak milestone so you know what to expect.
The Closed Beta 1 milestone started today, October 15, and it will run until mid-December when we plan to bring the game down before the next major milestone to allow us to better implement player feedback on CB1 and additional features.
As we get closer to Spellbreak’s full release there will be many exciting upcoming announcements, so make sure you join our ...
Read moreSpellbreak has been involving the player community in its development since June of 2018. Around that time, we felt we needed to open the game up to the community that had been following our progress and start developing live with our players as an essential part of the conversation. Since that time, Spellbreak has grown considerably and as we enter the next phase of development, we want to share more details on the coming roadmap and changes you can expect to see. The goal of this post is to lay out our high-level vision for the Closed Alpha and to open up the discussion with the community on where Spellbreak is headed.
The goal for the pre-alpha was to create an in-match experience we were happy with. This focused on both the engaging spellcasting combat (including mechanics like runes and gauntlets) and the RPG progression system of classes and how they interact with items. There is still plenty of work to be done (see ga...
