No ps4 news since release news

Well perhaps the only good time to go crazy is if neither of the ARK games release on PS4 during 2016. 

  I don't have a lot of money to throw around, so can't buy a xboxone.

yes it makes sense if they want to release ARK sooner, it would be before October.   but who knows, Sony's policy is what's keeping these games from releasing on PS4 sooner. 

it's funny because Sony is better than microsoft at accepting MMORPGs, but they are too strict when it comes to early access games.

doesn't seem like any PS4 ARK news at E3.   guess it's up in the air how soon  ARK SE is coming to PS4, if they really are releasing it sooner than planned, but at the very least, ARK SE should be on schedule to be playable on PS4 no later than december 2016.  though who knows with their scheduling plans.   maybe microsoft paid for extended ARK exclusivity on console?   well it would help them fund more projects receiving money, and ARK would still come to PS4 eventually overall.     maybe they would have more money if they didn't throw thousands away on ARK SOTF tournaments when it's not even a mainstream esport at this time. plus not sure how ARK profits from cash prize tournaments, they are generous, but can the devs really afford it without harming the budget for PS4 ports? 

I assume the 40 million dollars payment to the company, which wanted to sue them, must have hit them hard. Maybe they realised the ARK SOTF is not as popular as they though it would be and there is no point to spend more money on this project for now, owing to the fact they have to release the main game to begin with. Last time they talked about premiere date, they talked about on stream, it was a premiere after Christmas. They missed the first premiere date and they really don't want to reach a point, when people start calling this game "forever alpha game" or another "The Stomping Land". 

Currently the playerbase of SOTF is decreasing steadily, lack of serious updates does not help keeping the interest in playerbase. In my opinion this project was really risky when it was announced. Now when you look at current development of SOTF, you can tell it is on hold totally. I think they should have focused on finishing main game and then play around other cool things.

Well this PC to console port example 

https://community.playhawken.com/topic/4786-dev-update-catching-up-coming-soon-ps4-xbox-one/

really shows that porting to console is not really that simple, and even though we don't hear much on the status of the ports, there's a lot of effort being put into them.   So it is great they are shifting focus to bringing ARK SE to PS4 before SOTF.  yes some may say that's what they should have prioritized in the first place, but either way, they are doing tons of effort to launch ARK SE on all platforms this year,  so people just have to be patient and positive about things.  They have a talented team and they have accomplished much more in less time than a lot of other games.   So at this rate they can accomplishing bringing at least ARK SE to PS4 in 2016.   And they will take whatever time is necessary to do it right and improve the experience.

UPDATE: Hey ARK fans, Studio Wildcard is putting the PS4 version of ARK: Survival of the Fittest on hold in order to focus on preparing ARK: Survival Evolved for PS4 release. While this means ARK: Survival of the Fittest won’t be releasing on PS4 in July 2016, we’re working towards an earlier release of ARK: Survival Evolved.

It is strange they didn't make a new announcement about the July 19 delay instead of editing an older blog post that most people only read once. 

it's nice they at least edited that blog, but that doesn't get the word out like new announcements on PSN site do.   Well, they could announce something later, though it could be ARK SE related, then after launch, they could talk more about ARK SOTF.
