With Rust originally debuting on Steam's Early Access way back in 2013, its visuals are understandably dated by today's standard. On PC, players would have had a clear advantage, as they could have used key binds to allow for swift shortcuts and the mouse is a much more fluid control method than the analogue sticks on a controller.
#RUST CONSOLE PC#
I personally think it was a smart move not to have cross-play between console and PC players. There is, however, the option for console platforms to search for servers that are filled with players that are exclusively on their platform of choice.
#RUST CONSOLE PS4#
On the negative side though, there isn't anything too distinctive about this particular version to warrant existing players to check it out on a brand new platform.Ĭross-play here is present between PS4 and Xbox One, but it's not possible to play with PC players. On the positive side, the game is a faithful port of the PC original and little has been tampered with when introducing it to a new audience of players. Well, it turns out not a great deal, which can be seen as either a positive or a negative. If you've already played Rust on PC, you might be wondering what exactly is different between this new console version of the game and the original.
The core loop of harvesting materials and building better gear for yourself is an addictive one and there is an alluring sense of danger too, as your current inventory is always on the line when you are out scavenging. Using basic materials like wood, rocks, and cloth you can construct your very oven safe haven from the horrors outside and you can build weapons and armour to better protect yourself. There is no story or objectives present within Rust and instead you must make your own fun when braving it against the elements. Other players are also a major threat when exploring the open sandbox and you'll want to make sure you're appropriately armed or you'll risk having your entire inventory looted. Death in Rust is pretty much around every corner, as you need to manage your depleting levels of thirst, hunger, and health and protect yourself from environmental hazards such as radiation and the cold.
Let’s just say console versions of PC-first survival games aren’t always up to the task.After waking up without clothes next to a river, you must then go out and gather the materials needed to help you survive within Rust's punishing world.
As short as this footage is, it looks in line with what I was expecting for “ Rust running on a PS4 and Xbox One” – decent enough. I mean, Rust is doing tremendously well for itself on PC with a bright future still ahead of it, and there’s no real hurry so long as the wait is worth it.
#RUST CONSOLE SERIES#
I appreciate that Facepunch Studios and Double Eleven didn’t try to rush out the console ports (or drop them for PS5 and Xbox Series X). The initial invitees will help “ test out server stability,” but the developer “can’t invite everyone just yet.” If you put your name in the hat for the Rust console beta and haven’t heard back, it’s not a lost cause. Double Eleven put out a new trailer for Rust: Console Edition today, thanked fans for their ongoing support, and sent out the first batch of closed beta keys.
There’s a beta test right now but it’s very limitedĢ020 was a quiet year for the still-happening PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Rust, but big plans are in motion this year.
