Clearly there aren't more gaming consoles in the world than PCs. Not every home has a console, but almost every one has a computer. Also every office building in the world is brimming with PCs, but these don't play games (at least not in companies where the bosses pay attention But console games as a market have been much bigger than PC games. It's much rarer for a PC game to get sales figures in the same league as console game monsters like Sonic and Mario and such. |

Originally posted by Salvatoris This isn't a console MMOG. It's a PC MMOG thats being Ported to console. I'm sure it will contain a plethora of depth, and that if anything is dumbed down, it will be the PORTED version on consoles. ;) Not to mention the console version is scheduled for mid-late 2008, a year or so after the release of the PC version. If the two can play together at all, it wont be on every server, it'll be on a few pc & console servers. I wouldn't really worry about it having any affect what so ever on the older PC servers. Oh and yes, console games are dumbed down. Theres just no denying that. Oblivion was the proof. It was poor in comparison on every front to Morrowind, accept the graphics were better. It's a very simple fact that every PC gamer who plays a console port knows very well. Not that theres anything wrong with console games being dumbed down. They just appeal to a different audience. Thats why you wont ever find any hard-core simulation games on consoles. :p |

I wonder if Conan will have UI customization. If so how will that affect the console fanboys? I never liked console games in the first place. I hate playing with controllers. I played Halo 2 on my buddies xbox and couldn't aim for crap, bought it for the PC and had the mouse and keyboard, and I was an unstoppable force. But to each there own I guess. Merging these things together will the console players get the same benfit of UI or will they be stuck playing there same bland panel? |

I think that the cross platform servers will use MSs Games For Windows - Live. This would mean that to play on those servers users would have to have a gold membership (50$).

Originally posted by shorxrore go to the AoC site and check out the description of guild-based combat. A general description from my limited understanding of the system, heres just two of the aspects - 1. Player Cities - Guilds can build cities in the outlands which will need to be defended against NPCs who will build their OWN camps and bases (towns? forts?) and seige the Player city (i think that feature alone is way frakin COOL !) 2. PvP BattleFort System - basically large guilds capture / control / and then fortify a fort with towers, walls, ballistas and other defenses. Holding a Fort gives the guild stat pluses AND control of surrounding territory, unique raw materials, merchant items and the ability to build smaller structures in and around the fort. At certain times other guilds can seige the Fort and try to take it / destroy it. In addition there are BattleTowers for smaller guilds to capture and control which offer lesser rewards than Forts. Also guilds can control and operate things like Mines, Mills and other resource gathering structures which will yield useful items (like precious metals, rare woods, etc.) to the controlling guild. All these smaller structures can be contested by another guild and will need to be fought for and defended. I can envision MULTI-guild Alliances and warring going on here, so you'll NEED to be in a strong guild in order to participate in this End Game FUN! FUN! FUN! It's not just a game... IT"S A WORLD! |

my only fear is that the console version will somehow affect the pc version as many other console games have done to pc games. i am not debating the fact of which console or pc is better. i like both since both give me different experiances and there are times i just like playing amazing looking games on my big friggen tv while laying in bed. but my opinion is that the pc gives for more freedom and again that is my opinion.
my other fear is that i will die of bordom before aoc comes out
