at least on the xbox360 if you buy conan you can be sure its going to run smoothly when you play it . also it ll mean you wont have to rush out an buy a high spec gaming pc just a relativly cheap consol .

If only that was true.

 

Only one MMORPG is currently avaible on the Xbox360, Final Fantasy XI and it runs absolutely terrible. The framerate drops well below 30 fps in towns, even when nothing is going on on and nobody is around. Cutscenes are just as bad, tons of slowdown there as well.

I'm curious how this game is going to work with content updates, considering that the vast majority of Xbox360 owners have a 20gb hard drive.

I think the current install on a PC is 30gigs. I wouldn't expect it to be any less for the 360. So those of use with a 20g HD will most likely have to upgrade to the bigger HD. This isn't a great thing. but seeing as how my PC would need a new mother board, chipset, and video card to play the game, I think the bigger HD for the 360 is much cheaper.

 

 Just curious, I played FFXI on the PC and the PS2 and never noticed any problems, is it possible your fram rate drop is just your 350, or your internet service? I have not seeing anyone else comment on this problem before.

 

If there was a need to upgrade the HD how would existing data get transferred?  

I mean I'm kean to play AoC on the 360 but not at the expense of loosing all my game saves and re-downloading every map pack, expansion and game patch that I currently have. That would be a serious block for me.

When you buy the 120gb hard drive it comes with a cable that allows you to transfer content from your old Hard drive to the new one.

I for one am very interested on how this game will run on 360. Can't wait to see some screenies as they progress

All I can say is thank god for the mute button  Since my pc cant handle AOC, I'm glad its coming out for the 360

I would try it on the Xbox 360. 

 

One negative is interaction though.  If talking to other players is over the headset, I don't know how much I like that.  And right now if I have a question I can type it into chat.  With a headset I'm not sure how that would work. 

 

Also, I've played xbox 360 games and used the headset before.  There are some really, really immature people that will scream or curse into their headsets.  And especially with the cursing or the abusive language, it's more irritating hearing it than reading it in chat, atleast for me.

 

One obvious solution would be a keyboard interface option for 360 though, maybe something that would plug into that usb port in the back.
