Endzone
The Endzone will be expanding a bit more and we can see how Endzone: A World Apart will flow on the consoles
On May 19th, those looking to play Endzone: A World Apart on the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S will finally get a chance to see how it will function. Gentlymad Studios has altered things to make it work better there and add in all of the extras that the PC gamers have had for a while now. For those that cannot fully wait until then, you can have a look at how the gameplay for these versions of Endzone: A World Apart could function to hold you over. As long as you are okay with watching someone else handle the game and use the UI and controls that have been shifted from keyboard and mouse to basic controller. Not that it is a hard thing to do from the past, but it is nice to get a small peek at all of that for now.
As I alluded to, the gameplay for the console version of Endzone: A World Apart looks about how every other title in the genre gets moved over. We will get the usual stick motions to select and move about. It also looks like we will have some macro-style settings in there too so we can swap between options and quick structures, but that is a little foggy here. No matter what, Endzone looks like it will be offering fans and non-fans a similar experience. Console gamers should also be used to the style of controls from what we have had in other titles, so it should be a simple transition over. Should be…and we will know more in a few weeks from now.
