Console MMO's

Hey all.

Over the past couple years I heard about mmo games coming to consoles but by now I havent really seen a good one yet. I also dont know if most are rumors like age of conan is supposedly to come to console etc. So I was wondering what are your thoughts and do you have any information about upcoming mmo games? I would love to see TERA come to console since i read anyway that you can play it with controller via computer. MAG is ok but only for casual gaming *or atleast for me when i play ps3*..

I know that mmo's are a thing about costs aswell if you have to pay anually for live and pay monthly again for a game but just write your thoughts =)

he only reason I wouldn't play them is because I'd have to play for gold AND pay the monthly cost. I don't care how good the game is, I'm not buying it for $60 and then paying $10-$20 a month to keep playing it. And of course, the cost of a gold membership. Why would I wanna pay around $100 to play a game for ONE MONTH?orb_03_2006

getting too old? 2015 is supposedly to be the date of the next gen consoles, right? thats what heard i heard pretty much, then it would also mean they wouldnt release games on the ps3 either but it still gets final fantasy 14 right? so i doubt thats the case. plus there would still be the fact that many people cant afford a computer as powerfull for this gen games which makes a console even more of a better option. i dont know but thats just what i would think of it. but good points there. ofc. im probably wrong too.

this website http://games.teamxbox.com/index/xbox-360/by-genre/26/ has a list of upcoming mmo's for the 360, i have no clue when they would be announced, maybe they are just rumors but i doubt it. =/

isnt Phantasy Star Universe a partial MMO?

I think most MMOs would be a disaster on a console. The console can only do so much, and plus what the hell would you do for the controls? There is so much crap you have to do in MMOs. Half the time the 360 can barely keep a normal game running smooth online.

For controls FFXI allowed you to use a keyboard for chat as well as movement and macros etc. so other games could just do that. Also most MMO's don't exactly take a lot to run and most of the "normal games" don't have dedicated servers.

exactly, plus dragon age origins also has a good system where you can flick through lists of spells and stuff. same with fable 1 where you could use all the spells that way. i thought about it too but thats the most logic way to do that.
