    I think XB1 and PS4 will have a good following, obviously the older consoles have bigger numbers but a lot of the big hitters from the map making community have and are in the process of upgrading to newer consoles (I just hope that they give us a better item limit per grid with the extra power the XB1 / PS4 have)

    Those on PC I imagine will still be on the same platform - I should have a PS4 if it arrives on time for Destiny release.

    Reference Far Cry 4 the numbers are extremely low from people that are in touch - everyone is waiting for conformation on the Hosting / Lobby System and MP Details.

    The Xbone hasn't released yet in Norway so I'm not sure if I'll have FC4 for it on release.
    I'm having trouble understanding why you'd want to own the ps4 and ps3 versions... why? ps4 or 3 and xbone is a little more understandable, but 2 playstation versions i don't get...

I'm scared to make a day 1 purchase without any confirmation on this. Otherwise my $60 is gonna be spent else where.
    I followed the marketing for FC3 pretty closely and don't ever remember them saying you could have AI/ animals in published maps, dunno if claims of false advertising can be justified... and false hope is a consumer issue, thats the product of expectations exceeding reality. I'm not trying to rag or put down your disappointments, the game (like all games really) was not without it's faults, and the MP portion of the game left plenty to be desired for sure, but i mean.... they never said you could have AI/ animals/ vehicles in public created maps...

    I wonder how many players this game will support online on next gen..
    I'm actually of the preference of smaller more intimate MP affairs. For a FPS MP mode i always preferred the CoD style 6v6. I never really got into the battlefield 32 player games or any of that. Always felt that when there are to many players the maps have to be so big it takes forever just to get to the action, or the combat so frantic it diminishes any form of strategy... Just my opinion on the subject. I'd like 8v8 at most honestly....

    I will also be getting it on PS3 and PS4.

    Reason is some friends don't have PS4 yet and I already have both consoles, so making maps on both I can cover both bases. However, if the MP resembles that of FC3 I might well look at other titles.

    I will be getting it for the one. I am looking to play some custom maps and give any feedback I can. Also looking forward to hosting some playlists (hopefully).

    Here are a few maps I made on FC3...






    And here is my musical tribute to FarCry..



    I remember in the FCIP days, my friend list was almost all of FarCry friends. I look forward to building with the community, testing maps, and filling lobbies. Add me if you feel the same, gamertag: Niko Anonamix
