One of my friends has a shitty PC and wants to play WoW (Yes too shitty for WoW even). This will make him so happy.

Loving the utter panic on the WoW boards!

Fucking sheep. "Don't let those console kiddies on our servers!!!!"

They forget that the main audience for WoW at first was the B-net children.

Let me take this oppurtunity to backtrack somewhat and say WoW is planned for X360 and I have known about this since May....

That is not to say that is what *this* announcement will be.....could be another Blizzard IP they have been working on longer than WoW 360.....I do not know if Blizzard work on more than one game or not....

If they work on only one game at at time then yes, this is WoW 360 :)

Holy smokes. That's going to be huge.

Just FYI, I bought one of these for using with FFXI:

It's totally unusable.
I don't expect the 360 version to be any better.

For key commands it may be ok, but for typing in chat, it's a wreck.

Part of your dream includes the game not coming out for PC?
Click to expand...
No, I said it was my dream *game*, not my dream "scenario". I would be in love with having a Diablo 3 game, I don't care the platform, although it would be cool to have it on x360.

The other part was just about seeing the internet meltdown if it was exclusive to x360.

I actually have 3 of those controllers in my closet, I bought each for $1.99CAD+ 10$ shipping from ebay, though they're big they served me very well when playing online

Dear Blizzard,

If this is WoW, please keep the XBL consoletards segregated on their own damned servers. I can't imagine Barrens chat getting any worse, but I know the "I WANTED MILK" XBL crowd is chompin' at the bit to make me BELIEVE.

I used and abused on of them too. Only problem is, the buttons and sticks became a bit unresponsive and sticky. Then I spilt coke on the keyboard :)

But if you get 'em for $1.99 you're sorted!

Again, the B-net kiddies are FAR worse than console folks. You should be welcoming them.


The real bad side to a 360 WoW is no instant access to thottbot.com.... :lol

Uuummmm. Not to rain on anyone's conspiracy parade or anything, but isn't Windows Vista also one of MS' next gen platforms?


And wouldn't it deserve say, maybe a half hour tops?

I honestly don't know, btw, and god knows I want a console version of WOW. But Vista is often referred to as a next-gen platform.

Again, if its Windows Vista why not just say it!!!!


That is not a secret either and it is also fewer words....


All I know is; World of Warcraft is planned for X360......the exact timing of that announcement, I am not sure, but let me tell you this; "Next Generation MS platform" is just too much of a coincidence IMO.....

I am PRAYING it's a 360 version of Worlds of Warcraft.


NAH FUCK IT! Worlds of Starcraft!

Never even attempted to play a PC MMORPGs

I was interested in WoW but the interface looked far too complicated. Being a total noob to the genre i decided against it.

Kind of sucks that i bought a new powerful PC for gaming but have yet to find a game that interests me...

Honestly, Prine, WoW is the easiest MMO to learn and play casually.

A little bird told me that it's a port of Starcraft: Ghost, which has now been redesigned into a teenage dating sim. I'm told it is quite hilarious when a Zerg pupae tries to cut in at the prom.

Will never happen. The Blizzard offices would end up getting bombed.

Add Huxley, APB: All Points Bulletin, Vanguard, Marvel MMO, etc. That's a lot of MMOs.

Vanguard is coming out on 360? The problem with MMO's is that they all pretty much suck and 80% of the people who buy them stop playing after the free month. WoW is a huge exception.

And even i am moderately surprised
MMORPG worlds seem to have high loyalty rates - it seems hard for people to let go of certain worlds and settings, hence i wonder whether Square and Blizzard can ever stop support for FFXI and , especially, WoW

Totally true. Wow is the casual success (not a slam)

If WoW comes to xbox 360 i think it is nearly all over for all other MMORPG games. WoW will suck in most of the business.

WoW is such a bigger killer app than FFXI I hope it happens to help expand the X360 userbase.

WoW runs fine on the latest builds of Vista.

Warcraft: Spirits.


An adventure game in the same vein as Starcraft: Ghost. An adventure game so great it rivals the best Zelda game.





and then I woke up.

you'll need the HDD to play WoW will you not?
Click to expand...

what happened to "no xbox games will require use of the HDD because of the tard pack"? or was that just bullshit?

sure makes sense to do WOW on a console though, you know it will sell.

It'll be Ghost, Swinging Ape have been advertising for 360 developers for over a year (or they were, since back when they were swinging ape) hopefully they've been spending all their time on the 360 version which is why the current gen version looks like poop.

Putting Wow on Xbox: Will this draw more people to Xbox or just more Xbox'ers to Wow?
Is there anyone out there who doesn't have a pc strong enough for the game these days?

Anyway

If a game for X360 is announced, my guess is StarCraft Ghost.
