    With the delayed release date now I wouldn't place a bet on a year after PC release. More likely the next quarter.

    I'd love to play this game on the PlayStation 3, being that it has free online capabilities and better internal hardware.  But, the PC still dominates in the field of MMOs.  Take EQOA for example.  That was released for the PS2 only, but failed miserably.

    I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

    Are you kidding me?  This game on the PS3 would suck!  You know how many problems they're having with online.  My bestfriend has a PS3 and he's so frustrated with normal online games.  I can't even imagine the problems he would have with an MMO.  Please do yourself a favor and hope this doesn't come out for the PS3, I guarantee you it will save you a ton of heartache.

PS3 is garbage  i shoulda spent my money on a new video card. i hope aoc steers clear of it

    Even if it did come out for the PS3, I'm pretty confident that they would still charge you a subscription fee to have a game account.

    According to IGN the PS3 version is already slated.  Thankfully the PS3 will be able to do the game more justice graphically than the 360.

    You con use an xbox360 controller with a PC.  If they do add some sort of auto-aim crap for the controllers, at least pc gamers could maybe get the same 'advantage'

    Of course, coming from a fps background Id prefer to use a mouse.  Played quake3 for like 5 years.  I remember seeing aimbot players, and I remember seeing aimbot players destroyed by experiecned players with better 'movement'.  I say, who cares, just have one type of server.  Fps gamers will overcome.

    IGN will say anything to get your money!  And yes the PS3 "should" be able to have better graphics.  The problem is that it's really hard to develop games for the PS3, and MS has made it incredibly easy to develop games for 360.  MS development tools are far superior.  Also, the best looking console game of all time is on the Xbox 360, so until PS3 launch's something that even comes close to "GEARS OF WAR" then I give the 360 better graphics as of now.  You can even take two of the same games side-by-side and see that the 360 is superior on some of the same games.  This is just rediculous considering that SONY came out one year later and should have FAR SUPERIOR GRAPHICS!  AGGHGHHGHGHHRRHHRH.   This is also just me being angry .... I mean .... Sony used to rock.  The PS2 freaking blew the original Xbox away, and the gamecube!  But, the PS3 doesn't have any games I want, and you have to spend $600 just to get BLUEGAY (I don't even own a HDTV, so this feature is meaningless, not to mention the fact that I don't want to buy expensive Bluegay discs) and their online has always sucked.  So for MMORPG's on a console; my money is on the Xbox 360!

    First off, the PS3 version (if it can even be developed for that thing) will look no different than the Xbox 360 version.  Same hardware basically.  Second off, there will be no auto-aim.  Right now my Xbox 360 can read a keyboard.  I used my keyboard through my Xbox 360 to type in my information etc....  And I'm sure soon it will support a mouse as-well.

    This System (XBOX360) definetly supports both Mouse and Keyboard functions... and quite flawlessly too. 

    I've used a Keyboard and Mouse (both hardwired to the USB and Wireless sets as well) for games like FFXI, and I have also recently given it a shot with Rainbow Six Vegas... and it works as well.

    A lot of people like using the mouse and keyboard for FPS's, which I could see why... but I'm so used to dual analog sticks on the X360 and PS2/3, that I prefer the controller for everything... except MMORPGs

    Personally I want to have a PC to console integration, like what they are going to do with Huxley so us PC gamers excluding any pansy with a dell of course can kill dem console nubs
  • VongoVongo Member Posts: 11
    Oh I forgot to mention in my last post that I truly hate MS for several reason but dont get on me about that this post is about I mean NO disrespect to any one who coughed up the $600 for the PS3. For I am a Sony fanboy and the fanboy of Final Fantasyness that comes with the Sony fanboyness

    Hopefully the game will have enough strategic gameplay elements that to truly "own" someone won't be dependent on the system/console you play it on, but on your personal strategy in different combat situations.  I'm so sick of people who trash talk console gamers because of system inferiority, then it just means the person with the most money wins.  I would rather brag about my ability within a game, then the money I spent to make myself good.

    i wish they released both versions at once.... because then i wouldnt have to upgrade my computer.

    amen, i could afford a 360 but don't know if i'll have enough $ to upgrade my FeebleMeister 100 box when AoC PC is released (purely a guess) around Oct 07.

    "Finally, in regards to Xbox 360 and PC game play, Funcom hopes to have hybrid servers which can support both platforms."

     

    Hopefully this means that people can play each other over different consols.  I am looking foward to putting my skills against someone using a controler.

    I am looking to get it for the 360 for a couple of reasons. My top three being A) i dont have to update my comp (so i don't have to sell that extra lung to get the cash for it SCORE !). B) I want a larger base of people to play with combing pc and 360 seems like a good way to do it. I have no idea why someone would shun the idea of it.I play MMO's on the comp and have a 360 ... are we all assuming people who own a 360 slam there heads on the floor until they pass out when they play ? As for the 360 controller issue. There is problem a Keyboard in Dev for the MMO's coming out so I'm not going to worry. On a final note I expect this game to be truly amazing and can't wait to play it ^^.

    I'm probably going to get this for my xbox 360 just to play it on my HD TV and enjoy my sweet surround sound.

    I'm interested to see how MC integrates the keyboard ect. , maybe an exclusive AOC keyboard mouse once you buy the

    game... or is it going to be fully functional with the Gamepad?

    360 users will have to have a gold account to play on the same server as a PC user.

    Where did you get that information?  I haven't read that anywhere, and I read everything I can on AoC and Xbox 360!

    Just a rumor on the official forums, there is no final word. Also, for you people who complain 360 users shouldn't play with PC users, it never hurts the game to have more users.

    The concern is that the PC version will be dumbed down to make it easier on 360 users, removing much of its functionality. Oblivion and Morrowind had this problem.

    Of course, since the developers have repeatedly stated that no such changes will be made...

    concerns are great and all.  But other than just speculating, do you have a single bit of proof that this set of devs have actually done such a thing?  Assuming is a horrible thing sometimes....

    Of course they don't. I say they because I personally am not a bit concerned by the issue.
