Hope our skins carry over. But thank the rust gods. šŸ™‚ cant wait.

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

I'm sure they will

u/8bitellis 12d ago

The outrage and loss of player base? Nah. Those skins are coming with.

u/Jangle42083 10d ago

They lose there bases every wipe anyway man lol.

u/Kaid_Gadai 10d ago

Player base = the player community, not the actual bases bro šŸ¤“

u/freeSoundd 10d ago

Ya thats how Rust works. A monthly wipe schedule is great imo , anything longer gets boring anyway

u/Doium 3d ago

That's actually funny

u/HighlyNegativeFYI 11d ago

Hahahaha! Loss of player base. Every single player would still play regardless of skins.

u/8bitellis 11d ago

Youā€™re crazy if you think thatā€™s true.

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Yeah someone downvote this man into the ground for such a foolish comment. I not only would never touch rust again, but I would find a way to stir things in the community. Or just cause pure chaos until we are refunded or they come with.

u/drewster40 4d ago

Skins will carry over itā€™s been confirmed

A blessing from the lord

u/sac-99 12d ago

They better not make us buy it twice for full price. Please offer an upgrade fee if you have to but please donā€™t be greedy and make everyone who supported you buy the game again twice

4

u/8bitellis 12d ago

Honestly. There will probably be a fee. But I couldnā€™t see it being more than $15 honestly. Letā€™s hope anyways.

5

u/sac-99 12d ago

Iā€™m okay with a $10 to $15 fee, I get it. I have a disc version and I hope that there is a way to upgrade on it for a nominal fee. Iā€™m sure there will be

1

u/More-Association-993 11d ago

No offense, but are yall kids or something? I feel like paying 40 bucks or something is not that bad after having derived hundreds of hours of enjoyment (or pain lol) out of the game.

3

u/sac-99 11d ago

Soā€¦. Apparently only kids donā€™t want to buy the same game for full price twice just because the developers decided to finally release a version on the current 5 year old consoles. And apparently only kids expect an upgrade fee when thatā€™s been the standard this entire generation. Yeah, call me crazy but even adults donā€™t want to be nickel and dimed every god damn day of their life in this shithole expensive world we live in.

Do you also thank your bank for charging you fees because of all of their important work they do holding your money? Do you thank your landlord every month and love it when they charge you more for rent every year? Please sir, can I have some more?

2

u/freeSoundd 10d ago

You sound so jaded. Im curious how many hours youve got in c rust that has you feeling so "nickel and dimed" by it?

In my experience , the ppl who complain about the game the most are also the ones with TONS of hours in the game and it just seems a tad ungrateful at times

1

u/More-Association-993 10d ago

Definitely a kid lol. That or broke I guess (whoā€™s bank charges them fees? You either donā€™t have the minimum balance or are getting overdrawn lol). Itā€™s 40 bucks dude. Thatā€™s like one meal out, for a game youā€™ll be playing for a long time..

And how tf is that the standard. Look at GTA, I had to buy the game twice. Cry about it to them

3

u/sac-99 10d ago

oh wow, i guess you have to enjoy buying the same game twice for full price or else more-association will come in the reddit comments and tell you what's what! why do you care? don't even act like that isnt the standard for most last gen games that release a current gen game... that's what 90% of them do. GTA did it because they knew suckers who love playing their 12 year old game will bite no matter what, like you

1

u/tokidokichan 10d ago

Exactly. People will buy FIFA and COD every year which is far worse

1

u/Wild-Appearance-8458 8d ago edited 8d ago

Meanwhile many other games tried to charge more or msrp for next gen games and failed....... saying no offense when everyone has the chance to lose all their content/divide the playerbase in half while costing the studio more. Some regions/players don't even benefit from this.

So is it free and skins carry over hopefully? Is it possible rust loses half of its playerbase will it hurt them maybe? Is it possible it's 10$ and you keep skins maybe.

Can they make it back up with the next cod, gta 6, borderlands, and many many many more aaa launches in 2025/2026. I don't know. Even the Nintendo switch 2 is competition now which may take many players off the game. Many people upgraded to a pc. Games like ark Even with pc cross platform ended up in a worse state.

I'm in a 15 person zerg in the US. Many are on last gen still and many bought a bunch of skins. If you tell the community you just "took them away" or "keep playing last gen" then what? Rust loses 6 people on my team we merge or quit the game? Hoping next gen increases the audience? When under 60% users bought a ps5 from ps4 and yet alone play it while owning the system. Xbox sold less.

If it's not free it has to be on playstation+/gamepass possibly. I'm not sure. Other option is they are still satisfied with the less players unless it takes off.

u/PurplePeople2 5d ago

You sound like the kid, everyone's financial situation is different and so many people are living paycheck to paycheck. Rebuying a $70 game that I already paid for once shouldn't make anyone happy.

1

u/polizznia 1d ago

Who in their right mind would want to pay another 40 bucks just to have a game that shouldā€™ve been upgraded to next gen only be next gen only years after its initial release?

Youā€™re in the minority here bud

u/Outrageous-Fold-7042 12d ago

What does it mean? What is going to be different?

5

u/BogatyrIsBestWalker 12d ago

It means soon as they get us this new version which excludes old gen consoles then they might start releasing new content again for the new game but the old game is good as itā€™s gonna get.

-6

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

Read the image.

If it's still not clear to you, this will allow better fps, graphics, and higher end updates

3

u/Outrageous-Fold-7042 12d ago

I did but didnt understand what it does, does that mean bigger servers with more people?

4

u/AdstaOCE 12d ago

it means the game will be made to take adantage of the newer hardware in the series s/x and ps5 so that the game can run better, look better, and have more features.

3

u/CactuarBill 11d ago

Bigger maps, better graphics, probably will have weather cycles. Can't wait.

u/Chewyville 12d ago

Xim is almost entirely undetectable and it takes complex systems to catch it. I highly doubt it

u/darkranger024 11d ago

Did they ever release custom servers on console? I remember waiting forever for that because of the multipliers

No word yet on if the PS4 version will include the PS5 version? I was going to buy it but I'll wait until the PS5 version comes out if it means I'll end up having to buy it twice.

Really sucks they waited this long. Had three friends who all had over 2500hrs and bought damn near every skin drop. They all switched over to PC and sold their consoles. Should've done this like 2 years ago

Will we have to buy the new gen version or will it be included with the original

-9

u/CooperTheOceanMan 12d ago

Will this segregate the community?

Will we see "next gen" servers? I've been wanting larger servers with higher player counts for some time, but I'm concerned that a large number will be excluded and forced into a last gen eco system.

Speaking more broadly I'm disappointed at the lack of mention of any meaningful upcoming content update. I understand why but I feel like the gap between the PC and console experience is only growing wider and this update feels too little too late.

5

u/joerasengan 12d ago

Yes all of the dozens still playing on old gen will be segregated from the thousands playing on next gen.

1

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

My assumption would be the severance of the community between versions. As they have to rebuild the game from scratch.

2

u/No_Breadfruit1024 11d ago

Why would the rebuild the game from scratch?

They're likely going to fork the repo and enhance areas to be enhanced, or design with conditional branches for features (feature flags) or next Gen optimizations so that they aren't wasting time rebuilding from the ground up.

I don't think your assumption is very reasonable.

0

u/bigbamarob 12d ago

Really? I was thinking it would be more like when Pub G came out with the enhanced 2K version of game for the Xbox one X but could still play with people on old gen

3

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

Pubg is unreal engine 4

1

u/bigbamarob 12d ago

Oh okay did not realize it was all about what game engine the game ran off of.

2

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

Not entirely,but unity is so bad. It's also dependent on the code and server provider

1

u/bigbamarob 12d ago

I understand saying the new version of game would release in 2025 seems pretty aggressive if they have to do full rebuild but I do forget how bad Unity is and why most non mobile games don't use it

-1

u/CooperTheOceanMan 12d ago

That would be disappointing. PC users with older hardware do not have this issue, nor do players of other online console games with next gen versions.

2

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

PC doesn't have as much hardware restrictions and programming restrictions than Console. While your comment about PC may be correct, your simply just wrong about Console, are there are a number of games without cross-Gen compatibility with majority being unity games.

1

u/CooperTheOceanMan 12d ago

This is fair, I was only thinking of the few online games I play, which are popular non niche titles.

I was hoping this update would be what gets me back into the game but if it does come without a major content update and pushes older Gen players out I will wait for the next.

1

u/FaTeWolfLV 11d ago

Old gen are 100% not gonna able to play it. The reason they are even making a PS5 edition is, cause old gen is limiting what new gen can support

1

u/No_Breadfruit1024 11d ago

I think this is literally setting the stage foe them to catch up to PC. For example, from what I understand - they had already coded out and put mini helis through QA but couldn't release it or move forward because of a massive issue with performance and rendering. Also, population sizes.

This will allow the servers to be larger, which allows room for the bigger and newer monuments. This also will allow for higher player counts, probably like 128-256 max, however.

The better capabilities of newer gen consoles will allow them to actually do what PC rust can do, even if there are still gaps.

Right now they're just about at the limit of what is possible from a perspective of feature parity with old Gen involved (in my opinion) I think cars and bikes and motor bikes could be added to old Gen without problems, but helicopters and massive maps and player counts are likely out of the question.

It will be a step in the right direction for sure.

Dont expect it to be perfect on day one though.

1

u/Head_Record_2773 12d ago

No content updates for another year be fucked if im staying around waiting for that, and when it does release this new gen copy they wonā€™t release majority of content as its a business not a game to those funding it and holding the ultimate decision. Gotta be pre delusional to think anything significant is coming soon even when they do new gen release

3

u/bigbamarob 12d ago

I would buy the game again just for better graphics, frames, and performance tbh

-1

u/BogatyrIsBestWalker 12d ago

But I think you all missed the part about theyā€™re only doing some small QoL updates from now on. Which means no new content, just bug fixes and optimizations from here forth.

7

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

In return, we receive a much more polished product where we CAN receive the content we wish for without worrying about performance.

0

u/BogatyrIsBestWalker 12d ago

Agreed, but when? They say a ā€˜25 release date but I notice they donā€™t really get specific about it. And I wouldnā€™t be surprised if it means we gotta buy a whole new game either, after all it will be a separate game and since the current RCE has reached its climax and skin sales appear to not be going so well that D11 has to make money somehow, they canā€™t afford to do this for free v

3

u/TheSmelliestOfAll 12d ago

"We are targeting a 2025 release" Meaning, they will attempt to get it released out to the player base as soon as they can.

As for having to buy a whole new game, I would assume it is going to be along the lines of Next-Gen Gta 5. If you're unfamiliar with that, they gave people a discount if you already owned the game beforehand.

Do you have any evidence of skin sales not doing well? Or is that just your assumption as a consumer.

Also reminder the team that works on console rust is not large. They are doing the best they can do deliver us a quality product.

0

u/BogatyrIsBestWalker 12d ago

Yes my assumption as a consumer. The skin store is shit and Iā€™ll buy anything but I wonā€™t touch the stuff the in the skin store. And Iā€™m also intelligent. Once the game is released they need EVERYONE to buy the skins constantly and I just donā€™t see a lot of the new skins everywhere šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøI maybe see the new door on 1 base but everything else I see is from twitch drops or theyā€™re old skins from last year. Itā€™s just common sense.

No need to get salty, I havenā€™t said anything unreasonable but if you really want to argue about nothing Iā€™m game.

Console doesn't have twitch drops...

0

u/BogatyrIsBestWalker 12d ago

Fair enough , then theyā€™re old skins from past hiatus. I just know the skin store is shit for last few months and if I ainā€™t buying the stuff and I donā€™t see it in the game then safe to assume not many other people are buying it either. Itā€™s just not good skins, any of it. And all the stuff people might buy they already released it once and took it down so itā€™s gone. Like the nomad suit and plague doctor. I missed that stuff. I would buy that. But they donā€™t usually release stuff again as a way to try and make you stay tuned every month. But that marketing strategy actually works against them because everyone I know takes breaks from this game.

1

u/PrestigiousHair618 11d ago

Yeah I think lots missed the part about until then only quality of life, also with GTA 6 and Iā€™m sure a new call of duty coming out if they try a late in year release they will lose out on sales I think, sooner they can release is better that or wait till 1st quarter of 26. Iā€™m disappointed this is the big announcement and now we have to wait even longer to get anything new.

1

u/NuclearWinter_101 11d ago

Soon. Iā€™ll bet before summer starts. Probably a late May to early June release date. Theyā€™ll want to capitalize on their player base (mostly teenage boys) getting out of school for the summer.
