I highly doubt that the change will be that drastic, especcially since the PC and the console versions are going to be very different, with the console game being released a year or so after the PC.

And the combat system works great on a gamepad, even when playing using the the PC and the PC version, so little will be changed there...

Instead of remaking on the original poster (that would just be too easy) I would like to state how much I am looking forward to this game. The graphics, setting, and game play will make this one of the best MMOs to come out in years. This type of Mature Sword and Sorcery Fantasy is exactly what I've been looking for since my first days of playing MMORPGs. I'm also glad to see that (for the most part) the community is very intelligent and mature. I simply can not wait to get to meet and make friends with some of these great people in the game. ..................................... ...but time flows like a river... ...and history repeats... -Leader of "The Fighting Irish" in DAoC on Hib/Kay-

Lots of games released for both platforms have been real lousy on the PC. Lets just hope Funcom can make out something good.
User Deleted	12/16/06 5:22:44 PM#10 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) In my opinion it is good that the developer considered to bring this game on 360, because a xbox is cheaper than a whole new computer and you can play other games with a nice graphic, too. Another advantage is the Game Pad. I think that it will be more user-friendly.

Releasing this game for the 360 is a hugely positive thing. Not only does it expand it to another less expensive platform that is widely popular, it brings in a whole new audience of people who otherwise may not have even played the game. A new AAA title MMO releasing for PC and console (they mentioned after PC launch) is a huge step for MMO's and their popularity. As for the gamepad, I will argue a keyboard and mouse at this point in time will always be better and more functional to use than a gamepad. Age of Conan is truely one of the only new games for 2007 that is introducing truely innovative material and content, not just reworked items that have been done before.

The pc development is totally different from the xbox one, and we won't play on same servers... It's really 2 differents games ... Where you are getting this information? I haven't seen any developer interviews, quotes or other official information that is saying anything like this. PC players bad experience from multiplatform games is based to games like Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex 1 was - and still is one of the greatest PC games ever. Deus Ex 2 was total let down. As a consequence of XBOX console-oriented development, the game's levels were significantly smaller than those seen in the original Deus Ex. Console-oriented development also has had consequences for the game's graphics: the game's characters were slightly less detailed and have somewhat lower polygon counts than those seen in, for example, Unreal II. Also these changes are commonly thought to be result from the DeusEx 2's multiplatform development (source wikipedia): Character development was simplified. (Most PC players are just thinking that they are more interestested from complex strategical thinking than console players.) Combat was also more action-oriented than in the original Deus Ex. Weapons no longer did have a varying reticule to simulate weapon inexperience or inaccuracy while moving — a player simply needs to point and shoot. (Because of console's control pad is not suitable for samekind controlling method as PC mouse-keyboard). Damage was no longer modular. Instead of having separate health for the player's head, torso, and appendages, the player did have a common pool of 130 hit points which varied based upon the selected difficulty. Similarly, enemies did sustain the same amount of damage regardless of where they were injured. (Again console's control pad vs. PC mouse-keyboard) The inventory system was simplified. (Console's screen resolution + control pad vs. PC's screen resolution + mouse-keyboard) I am not saying that XBox 360 version is necesary making game bad, but some hardcore PC players are going to pessimistic mode automatically when they hear news like this. Common arguments: TV's screen resolution, sharpness and color management (even HDTV) is less than typical PC monitor's resolution, sharpness and color management. (NTSC 720x480, PAL 768x576 and HDTV 1280x720/1920x1080.) User interface need to be simplified and this will lead to simplified game In PC version typical console user interface is using too much screen space There is going to be less text, because it is harder to read text in console screen. This is leading to simplified gameplay. Console have less available memory than PC. Game areas are smaller. Textures are smaller. There are less character customization options. Console's controls don't allow similar gameplay as PC's keyboard+mouse. Combat is simplified - no modular damage. Combat is more action oriented - less decisions - more 3 button action. Inventory and other systems are simplified. For example Oblivion's save file dialog that doesn't allow you write save file name. There is no chat commands. There is going to be less shortcut key commands. Console players doesn't necessary have keyboard that she can use for chatting and they also can't read chat text very well. This makes communication harder some cases and forces to communicate with voice chat, which is immersion killer for some players. (You are not going to understand my broken english.) Console player's are not ready to patch they game and their hard drive space is more limited. Patches are less frequent and bugs will stay longer time Free and small feature updates are going to be less likely There is going to be less client side customizations options. Common misunderstanding (?): Console players are more casual They might get some snack during raids or they are only playing during commercials. They are not so dedicated to guild affairs - instead coming to prearranged meeting, they might be watching new TV show instead. I also recommend reading article The Console and PC: Separated at Birth, Cross-Platform User Interface Development and Prey: PC versus XBox 360 "I know I said this was my last post, but you my friend are a idiotic moron." -Shadow4482

Personally I dont see much of a problem with the fact that it was announced for 360. From E3 2005, when Gaute (game director) played it with a game pad we all knew it was going to come to a console. Its quite likely that PC players wont be playing with console gamers. This game will not be compromised for console gameplay. The game is primarily being developed for PC, once the PC version is complete THEN they will work on the console version. No compromises, no worries. :) Currently Playing Random shizzle!

Originally posted by JackBauer24 Ummmm they said they are considering the option of combining the servers but, still that just increases the people. Which helps for those Epic battles True that there will be more people, but haven't you ever played a console before? Remember how much easier it was to kick the crap out of monsters with a controler? Now what I fear is that the console crowd will have an advantage over the PC crowd since they have those handy little controlers while we are using archaic keyboards. Plus you have the stereotypical "younger" generation crowd that plays consoles that we will have to share the game with. I much prefer to keep servers seperate or keep the game only for PC's, but I don not fear the game being dumbed down, just because it is on the console too. I've played some excellent RPG's on consoles that are very complex or fun. Best thing to do is to go with this with an open mind and hope for the best.

I dont think that you can play this game with your new pc on high graphics... Ace of Conan will be released in Direct10 and there are no Graphic cards which can handle this ;). So if you want to have a good graphic youd better buy a Xbox360, its cheaper and you have a phantastic graphic!
