EA, the publisher with a hand in Warhammer: Age of Reckoning and Star Wars: The Old Republic, has hinted both MMO titles could end up on consoles.
Does not play well with consoles. Yet.
If you, like many console owners yesterday, were wondering where the heck a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 version of Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO were hiding, you're not alone.
The good news is LucasArts and BioWare are "considering" bringing the MMO experience to consoles, which indirectly means the recently unveiled Star Wars title from Tuesday.
The bad news is the "confirmation" of console MMOs was just a blanket statement from Electronic Arts exec Frank Gibeau about future console MMO considerations (Note: EA owns BioWare).
"We're definitely looking at the opportunity to bring the MMO experience to console, without question," he said in an interview with Eurogamer. "We've got this product, and we've got Warhammer at play. So we're trying to look at the primary research required to understand how would you deploy it, what the client size looks like, how big is the back-end, what the play experience looks like... Once we've got some of those questions answered, we'll be able to decide which is the right play to go after."
When Gibeau was pressed further about Star Wars and Warhammer making an appearance on consoles, he said both titles were "under consideration." He offered no further details or confirmation beyond that, however.
As reported by GamePro Tuesday, no release date was given for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

If they could make Oblivion work on a console, there's no reason why they coudn't make any PC game work on a console... especially this generation with consoles almost as powerfull as the top PC... and with much better online integration. I would probably buy Star Wars for console... never for PC.

That would be cool if they brought it to consoles. I would probley play it on one and it would make the world so much better with that many more players.

I was surprised that this wasn't announced for Xbox360. After all it was rumored that a KOTOR MMO was what was going to be announced as being the unannounced Xbox360 Bioware game.

I really want to play this game on the 360 but I'm also worried about how much of my free time this will take away. Oh well....atleast I'll be having fun.
