Originally posted by Jimmy_Scythe I'm of two minds on this one. Porting games from the PC to a console usually doesn't work very well. Come to think of it, porting from consoles to PCs doesn't really work either. This isn't to say that either console or PC games suck, it's just that the games are so different from an interface point of view. EQ was an extremely popular game on the PC, but when they ported it to the PS2 with EQOA the experience didn't compare. In the opposit direction, Phantasy Star Online was freakin' awsome on the Dreamcast but just didn't feel right when they moved it to the PC with Phantasy Star: Blue Burst. There is a saving grace for transfering games from a console to a PC; you can make a console port playable by using a 4-axis 12 button controller. Unfortunately, you can't really hook a keyboard and mouse to your console without jumping through a few hoops. There is a market for a console MMORPG, but they need to design such a beast SPECIFICALLY for consoles.
exactly, I don't see how a game as complex as EQ2 could ever be played fluidly with the countless different skills and actions and emotes and iventory items and yadda yadda yadda
