World of Warcraft to hit the Playstation 3 ?!!

Zaxx99Zaxx99 Member Posts: 1,761

It's highly rumored that Sony is doing everything in its power to land WoW on its upcoming PS3 system. And I have no doubts that the two mega companies will merge to get it done. I can totally see WoW on the PS3. And why not? It is an ultra over-simplified mmo with an average game player age of about 12 to 14. How hard would it really be to make it happen and even do it well? Not very hard I'm thinking and Blizzard definately has the resources and cashflow to do a quick port to land even more millions of players from Sonys console market.

I like World of Warcraft... for what it is. If you don't expect a deep mmo or a great PvP experience and just wanna roam around and have some fun killing mobs and can deal with the overall rudeness of it's players, then WoW is a great game. It's not for me and not really what I like, but I cannot take anything from it's insane success and quality. I think it's a bit over-rated, but hell why not? Look at it's competition. And look at the players that love it. It makes sense, as does a PS3 release.

I favor a PS3 release and predict that WoW would probably be one of the 10 best games ever to come out on the PS3. Seems like a prefect arcade style mmo for an arcade stlye console system. I'm sure that I'm not the first to mention this same topic, but I have't seen it mentioned here yet myself. What are everyone elses thoughts? Is a PS3 WoW good or bad? Why or why not?

    It wont happen. SoE is handling all of the PS3's online gaming, so in order for WoW to be on the PS3 Blizzard would have to hand over some rights to Sony, dont see that happening. Why do you think FFXI went to the 360 instead of waiting for the PS3?

    Not to mention Blizzard would have to intergrate the game with SoE's Launchpad system.

    Not a chance. WOW would have to be dumbed down even more than it is now like SWG NGE.

    I don't buy it. If SOE wants to grab a big name MMORPG to hype up the PS3, they are going to grab something from their own lineup 1st (like Vanguard), not something from Blizzard.

    "highly rumored"? right...the only rumours about WoW are about WoW going to the Xbox 360. there are no rumours other made up by sony fanbois for WoW for playstation 3. I don't really get your "over-simplified" comment either. your still going need to need a keyboard and other hardware to play, or do you mean console gamers are people who can't play games? because it looks like thats basicly what your saying. the avarage gameplayer age is rediculous as well. do you have anything to build your statement on, other then your own + friend experience in WoW's General chat? WoW is also far from anything close to the statement "arcade". its easy to lvl, so now its arcade all of a sudden? no offence ofcourse, but I have to say this is one of the most silly topics I have seen so far.

    Hey now... before you all go assuming or accusing me of making up wild rumors myself, let me throw out the fact that I did NOT make this up myself. I point my finger to evidence exhibit A your honor!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    * Evidence Exhibit: A * (heh heh)

    Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine, June 2006 issue, Page 46

    Exact quotes from this page:

    THE RUMOR MILL (You know it to be true.. )

    The WOW Factor:

    A few months back, yours truly mentioned that Blizzards insanely popular World of Warcraft (PC) would eventually come to the Xbox 360. Well, I may have been mistaken about the second home of this massively multiplayer online role-playing game: Word is on the street that Sony's now making a strong push so that WOW winds up exclusively on the Playstation 3

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    ::::20:: I love rumors... especially ones like this IF they come true. Hehe.

    Never gonna happen.

    Blizzard makes so much money off of WoW its not even funny.

    Now if they DONT want people to try their product then sure they should do this.Even the 2 games that most everyone considered "independent"got taken down a notch or 2 with a recent publishing deal with SOE.

    Right now the worst idea i can think of is for ANY developers to associate in any way with SOE.

    The only reason to even do so is because it is a small studio looking for some seed or development money and i dont think is all that small.(not mention that vivendi/universal would need to approve anyway.


    Want to ENJOY an mmo?

    Dont start a guild and dont be a leader or volunteer to be coleader or captain.

    Just play the damn game:)

    Well, I have heard that Sony's consoles are a hooker to code for, whereas Xbox is... well, you are basically just coding for a Windows machine with very specific and universal hardware.

    If I were Blizzard, and I actually wanted WOW to be on a console, it'd be the 360.  Less effort in coding for it = less money spent doing it.

    Or so I would think, from the comfort of my armchair here...
