![]() ![]() Realistically it’s great that they are bringing Rust to console players finally, however, if you aren’t going to add anything new to compete with games that are newer on the market – what are you offering gamers to play this on console who have been playing this on PC already?Īs someone who hasn’t played Rust before I absolutely got my arse handed to me on every occasion with gamers who have a bit more time to dedicate to being on the server that you compete with them on. On the surface this does sound like a lot of fun, but, and it’s a very big but – other games in his genre do it much better, much prettier and with a whole lot more improvements. Not to mention that this is a huge multiplayer experience where you can either be a loner, create friendships with other players or become enemies which will obviously result in conflict. During all of this surviving you have to remember to do everything else you would do in real life to survive like eating and drinking as well. ![]() Eventually you have to build some shelter to keep yourself out of the elements along with providing some protection from hostiles such as animals or fellow players. Using your rock to break down resources nearby to build weapons, other tools you may need, and of course to get yourself clothing. Starting off with yourself in your birthday suit and armed with a rock you must use your smarts, patience and at times brute strength to survive in the world of Rust. If you were like me and don’t know much about Rust here is a brief synopsis: Rust is a multiplayer survival game where you can play with up to 100 players. Don’t get me wrong, it still is a pretty good-looking game for its age, but coming to consoles, especially knowing what the Xbox One and Xbox Series X can do, it is definitely underwhelming and bland in the graphical department. This explains why it feels dated and why I am getting some eye strain playing through this title. With that initial impression I did some research to glean some more information about Rust and found out that this title has been on PC for about 8 years now, and this console version of Rust is pretty much a straight port. Jumping into the game I became instantly disappointed as Rust: Console Edition looked and felt dated right from the first moments I jumped into it. So here I am, jumping into a game I know very little about with a 10-year-old boy leading me through this adventure. From a distance this looked like something that I might play if it ever came to console, so when the opportunity came a knocking I asked my kids if Rust: Console Edition was something I should review, and I was met with a resounding yes. We know from all of the messages that you’re excited to play it and we hope that with the dawn of 2021 we can restore your trust as we edge closer to being able to share something with you.Rust is a game that I have heard about in passing, mostly from my young children who would watch YouTube videos of players pulling pranks on each other and my children laughing at the hilarity of it all. We’re sorry that we haven’t been able to bring you Rust on console in 2020 as planned. We’ve always had some remote workers but moving the entire company home to keep everyone safe has presented challenges as we’ve found new ways to work with each other in the new normal that this year had in store for us. ![]() As much as engaging with players is extremely important, we believe it also has to be meaningful and as we’ve been working away behind the scenes, we haven’t felt ready to share anything with you yet.Īs a company in 2020, a year that has brought very challenging times for many, we’ve felt very fortunate to be able to keep doing what we love. Why have we been so quiet for so long? The world of games dev is a fickle beast you never have the full picture up front and the development process often becomes more of a journey of discovery when bringing a PC title to console. We love making great games and bringing them to new audiences, but that sometimes means taking a bit longer to get it right than we originally planned and comes at the unfortunate cost of the disappointment and trust of those who were so keen to play it upon launch. It’s been a while since we shared anything in the public domain and as the end of 2020 is nigh, we want to confirm that Rust is still coming to console, just a little later than planned. ![]()
