The Simpsons: Tapped Out on Xbox One and Playstation 4
Because EA can barely handle all of the devices it's currently trying to provide for?
Forum Discussion
I don't understand the bickering going on in this thread. The OP is right in that putting this on game consoles would broaden the audience. Whether it would broaden it enough to recoup the costs of the port, I have no idea, but given how much we spend on donuts and such, I'd guess it would. More exposure for the game is never a bad thing.
Depending on how the mouse feature works with the joystick/kinect/PS4's touch pad, clicking does have a good chance of becoming easier, cause there are several times where I do have to tap on the same spot to select something instead of the 10 things around it. The way it could work on a console is that you could hover the mouse pointer and move it around slightly until it highlights the item you want. Once it is highlighted, you would click (tap) one of the buttons, and it would select that item immediately instead of having to multi-tap around through the neighboring objects.
Also, the new consoles (PS4 and XBox1) are made to quickly jump between applications. This would mean users could load up Tapped Out, do all their tapping, switch to another application when they're done, and then switch back when it's time to do more tapping. Load times have been greatly reduced in the newer consoles, so I don't think there'd be much waiting at all.
Plus, since the consoles are all online now, when loading up the game, you could connect to the EA servers to load your towns, just like you do now on your phones and tablets. This way, someone who wants to play on both a phone and a console can with the same town. This would also make it possible for table users to interact with the towns of people who only play on consoles. And remember, if you don't want to play on a console, YOU DON'T HAVE TO - but it would be nice for those who want the choice to be able to.
Also, about the grammar bickering . . . I dun cAr hou u lik mei speling is lonng is u cann reed it!
