Tantalus also helped make Cities: Skylines on console happen.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Polygon:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cMoreg\u00e5rd said that the majority of the new UI relies on the D-pad common to both consoles. Using the right button, for instance, takes players to the traditional \u201coutliner\u201d along the right-hand side of the screen on PC. Once there, players can select from a laundry list of in-game objects, like planets, fleets, or individual ships. Once they\u2019ve brought up the object that they want, it\u2019s a simple tap of the shoulder button to center the map in the right location.\u201d<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interview goes into a bit more detail about the control scheme and the lack of mouse\/keyboard support for the console version.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I already own the PC version, but being able to sit back on a couch and wage a galactic war does sound like a compelling reason to double dip. I\u2019m curious to see if PS4 Pro\/Xbox One X support is included. Also, how is performance towards the endgame?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Stellaris\u2019 genre will help it stand out, releasing it a few days after Anthem and Metro Exodus probably isn\u2019t a good idea. Still, I wish Paradox luck if only so we may one day see the Hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings franchises make the console leap too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next month, PC won\u2019t be the only place the Grand Strategy genre calls home.
