No Xbox 360 WoW

[Rushster]

Will they, won't they? A question that's been on many a gamer's mind over the past 6 months or so. Well the simple answer is that WoW will not be coming to the Xbox 360 according to a*<a href="http://www.mcvuk.com/newsitem.php?id=827">news story</a> on MCV which quotes Blizzard's COO Paul Sams. It seems that unless Microsoft made soime changes to their online service it's never going to happen.</p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><p>“We do not have any plans to take WoW to Xbox 360,” Blizzard COO Paul Sams told MCV. “WoW is built as a PC gaming experience. Porting PC games to console often compromises games, and we’d never allow the WoW gameplay experience to suffer.&quot;</p></blockquote>

Right on them as well. Nothing aginst the 360, ita a fantastic machine, already acclaimed better than the PS3, and the PS3 aint even out yet (UK).

I would also like to say that if they had released it onto x-box, it wouls have made life alot more difficult for the regular players, saying regular, as playing on a consoule just aint the same. To think that you would have no way of communicating with the players on consoles, unless they brought out a special type of keyboard. Though just to iterate my point, keep the consoles away from the PC enviroment games.

A simpler and more hack'n'slashy game like Diablo III could work as an MMO on the XBOX 360, but not WoW. I for one am glad they are not porting it to a console - you need a mouse and a keyboard to make it work.

I think DnDO will be available on the xbox 360

DnDO stink up to my house...Instanced game, go play Guild Wars for that.. and it's free.

How would that work...WoW is too mouse based, you gotta click on a bunch of stuff, it just doesnt seem possible to port to console anyway, communication would pretty much impossible unless they were make a keyboard and mouse for it, and that would just make it completely pointless, I'd rather just play it on the comp and not waste extra monines for a keyboard etc. I don't understand why anyone ever would beleive that they would releases it for the x-box..seriously...

Meh I dont care, I bought a 360 for the forking amazing FPS games not an MMORPG that would probably get badly ported across.

I just got one and I have to say Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is drop dead gorgeous. I wouldn't half mind seeing WoW on it (graphics-wise, although Guild Wars would look better I bet) but as you say, the port may not do well. Not sure if there's a keyboard for the 360 (haven't looked) but without that WoW would be near-on impossible to play and there's only one USB port anyway and I use that for my wireless.
