Hrm... I might have to bite. I thought I heard something about a Switch port as well though? I feel like I'd rather play this one with a mouse.
It has been announced, but I don't think there's a set date. 2020, sometime.
The best game of last year and the best written once since Torment.
i was wondering about this too, i only have a macbook pro and a ps4... macbook's fine but it tends to overheat when playing games on steam, so the ps4 version would probably be the one to go for, but being this the perfect quarantine game it's quite hard to wait some more months for the console version...
Xbox and PS4 confirmed late last year, Switch confirmed a week or so ago, all with a rough 2020 release date planned
Yeah. For anyone who likes RPGs or story heavy games this is mandatory.
Definitely interested in picking this up, but am honestly slightly intimidated by how in-depth it looks. Should I just go in blind (in terms of game mechanics) or is it worth knowing a few things before diving in?
Yay! Bought this to use with GeForce Now, but since that's probably not gonna be viable in the future... Very exciting. Hopefully it'll run on my Air as well as my iMac.
You wander around and click on environmental objects and people, pick dialogue options, put points into skills and make dice rolls, that's pretty much the game.
Oh! One thing the game may not teach you - if you have 1 point of Health or Morale left and you take Health or Morale damage, you have a window of a few seconds to heal yourself before Game Over happens.
All I'll say is quicksave often in the early game if you've got low health caps to avoid losing progress to unexpected deaths. Also that you can heal at any time, even mid-conversation.
Otherwise you're good to go. It's a game that thoroughly rejects perfect-play and does some really interesting and fun things with failure.
Awesome, thanks for the info! Yeah, from what I've read, it's actually more enjoyable if you don't try and be a total badass (if the game would even allow that). Roleplaying a character who fucks up some sounds like a nice change of pace.
If nothing else, it will let you play as someone who thinks he's a total badass, which is lot more fun.
Haha, yeah exactly. I'm curious to look into all the stats and see what kind of character I want to play as. I usually like trying to be as good a person as realistically could fit into whatever world I'm in, but I feel like games a lot of times let you get away with too much while being kind. It's definitely appealing that this sounds like a game that will realistically make it a challenge to be a good person.
Not sure about recent, but my 2018 15inch with 560X throttles like a little bitch trying to run Cat Quest 2.
I guess if yours not as hot as mine - give it a try. Also, trying anything on Apple Arcade which has a free period can help.
I think Disco is more 'roleplaying' than most RPGs because of the different dialogue options and the character traits, plus the dice roll. You could be a sherlock holmes type detective, a hustler, punch first ask dumb questions later, a sentimental and spiritual guy that cries in the middle of an interrogation, and it can change how the quests play out.
The mechanics of the game are fairly straightforward imo, i went in blind and got the hang of it pretty quickly.
Very cool. I play DnD and World of Darkness tabletop, so I think I'll be okay, but I definitely have trouble digesting a lot of new info thrown at me, especially in regards to stats/abilities and how they relate to roleplaying. I'll just take it slow at the beginning.

With the Chinese localisation and now a Mac release, it's good to see they've been keeping up with their post-launch plans. Here's hoping the other planned localisations are in the works.
I don't see any reason to hold out for a console release for this type of game if you can play it right now apart from the Switch for portability.

I read a little while ago that ZAUM are going to use a spanish translation made by fans as the official spanish localization.
One of, if not THE best-written game I've ever played and one of the most hilarious. I haven't laughed that much since Yakuza 0.
Has anyone had the chance of playing on their MacBook? Just wondering if it ran ok and if it heated up.
My favorite game released in a very long time, and easily GOTY of 2019. I wish I could get more people to play it.
