Jeff Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Right, but that is different than an MMO which is unlikely to make it to consoles in the first place.
Hallucination Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Oh please... joypad programing? because all multiplatform games dont need that ._. Count the buttons on your keyboard. Now count the buttons on you controller. Now think about how much they would have to change the interface to make it playable on a console. Exactly.

Now think about how much they would have to change the interface to make it playable on a console. Exactly. Don't worry, I have found the solution.

Huuummmm... yeah... but u dont exactly need all those keys on a MMO... actually u can do everything with just a mouse
Jeff Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Huuummmm... yeah... but u dont exactly need all those keys on a MMO... actually u can do everything with just a mouseNot if you're pro. Clicking buttons is way too slow, I use hotkeys for everything.
Nemez0r Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Well if ppl do wanna play like a pro... get a keyboard! problem solved
Tommycat Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Yeah... I'm sure the average console gamer would be real happy to keep getting pwned by the average PC gamers. No, if they were to make it cross platform they would have to simplify the controls. At any rate, it still doesn't negate the development. As an MMO is in perpetual development it slows down content releases.
Darth Avlectus Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I found that buying a PS3 would be cheaper than upgrading my PC to a high-end machine... but i dont have the money... Im a PC gamer too... i play ALOT on my PC... but i simply would like to see this particular game played on my TV... from my couch with a nice wireless keyboard. core gamers like urself are afraid of consoles... i get it Then do a setup (Implies a modern TV set) where you have the computer hooked up to your TV and change inputs. Should be cheapest and tons less hassle. Also...while I won't tell you to go on a buying spree of all those upgrade parts for your current computer... I am told that you could (if you're thrifty and resourceful--AND do all your own homework on the issue) build pretty sweet a custom gaming computer--and I'm told spend no more that 1.5K at the most. But I do hear ya on the part about unable to afford it--I have good credit and I can't even afford it. (Where would I make room for it all anyway? *looks at clutter building up in my room*) Only do stuff like this if it's in the cards and it's your passion. Sure I could spend all that $$$ on credit, but TBH, I won't DIE if I can't play TOR. Besides, I pretty much know how it all is going to end eventually for canon purposes anyway. I imagine this will spawn a few future stories in the SW continuity timeline; some baddies must inevitably always slip through the cracks.
Steve-O Kreesh Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 There's plenty of options when looking for an affordable gaming computer. You could build one yourself, as already mentioned, or find a company that builds custom gaming computers. I did and now I have a laptop fully capable of running TOR without breaking a sweat.
Nemez0r Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I still cant afford... always wanted to build my own computer... ill probably get a summer job or something, But even then i would still preffer to play on my PS3... everything is just better when done from the couch (I don't have a modern TV, got an old SD box :/)
Nemez0r Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Move your couch infront of your computer? LOL, Good idea... But no thanks
Prime Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Consolers bitching about the PC getting a great game? Oh, sweet irony!!
thrawn2034 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 This type of game needs to stay for pc. I don't think consoles are ready for an mmo like this. They are very complex, if they weren't, Blizard would made WoW for consoles a long time ago.
Nemez0r Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 w00tini... theres another MMO coming for PS3! OMG its PC-PS3 cross-platform!!! o_0 (FFXIV)
Insignia_Enithma Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Also...while I won't tell you to go on a buying spree of all those upgrade parts for your current computer... I am told that you could (if you're thrifty and resourceful--AND do all your own homework on the issue) build pretty sweet a custom gaming computer--and I'm told spend no more that 1.5K at the most. The machine I have cost me 350 Great British Pounds, it plays the latest games at very high. If you do your homework, research the current market ect. You can build a descent gaming rig very cheap.
