World of Warcraft to 360

Meh, MMO's are played out IMO. I know people love em, but I got tired of them years ago.ColoradoKindBud

World Of Warcraft would burn XBL down...

Then again, 95% of the games on XBL have about 20 people who play them, so as long as it isn't too popular on XBL it MIGHT be able to handle it...

Then again, WoW doesn't have good graphic, but it requires at LEAST a gig of RAM to run smoothly...

There's just a lot of factors that make me think it's impossible... It would crash XBL a lot...

I don't see World of Warcraft going to 360.  Didn't Blizzard say something about not having plans to do it?

It is impossible for a priest to be played on a gamepad. It is far too intricate. (SPeaking from first hand experience)Vandalvideo

Well, there's always Two Worlds, which would probably play ten times better on the 360, since it's being built for it as well as the PC, instead of just being built for the PC.

A controller would be just fine for WoW's basic controls.UnnDunn

LMAO!

That was the funniest thing I've heard.... Ever...

Seriously, even past level 10 you need at least 8 hotkeys, along with a mouse to handle precise targetting, and about 50 other buttons to handle all the other important controls.

It would be LITERALLY impossible to play even Wailing Caverns without a full keyboard.

A Molten Core raid would be so infinitely destroyed, that is of course if they could even get 40 people together, which they probably couldn't.

On top of that, without the chat functions of WoW the fun of the community would be destroyed...

Everything about a 360 version would blow chunks.

There are so many issues with bringing WoW to a console that I just don see it happening and most of them add up to making the way too expensive even if it were technically possible.

Asuming that the 360 has the muscle to run it (wich I think it does) you are going to need a Keyboard and a mouse add-ons, then M$ and Blizzard are going to need a way to solve the subscription thing because remember that the game aint free.

So it end up its: Game (including expansion) + M/K add-on + Subscription fee + monthly fee + now mandatory HDD (for those who dont have one) or a bigger one to store the game in

Will people buy all this to play a game that they can already play on a PC? (and a PC that doesnt have to be so expensive by the way). It wont be HD, it wont use the pad, it will have dated graphs, it will eat up all the Hard Drive space... I dont think thats what the average 360 user really wants.

If they're going to sell wow, they have to sell it as a harddrive, otherwise it won't work2FacedJanus

Anyways, what's the deal with console players wanting WoW on their consoles all of the sudden? Redmoonxl2

Meh, I sure as hell dont want it. I hate WOW's graphics. (opinion)

I firmly believe Blizzard will take World of Warcraft to the xbox 360. And sooner rather than later. Here's my opinion!

1) Microsoft was to publish the fantasy mmorg Vanguard, backed out, and now Sony is publishing Vanguard. Why would Microsoft pay the development bills for Vanguard to be made and then drop out of the deal so late in the game? One, if they thought Vanguard sucked. All indications are that it does not. But a more likely reason is that to attract WOW they didnt want to publish another fantasy like mmorg. History repeating. When Microsoft wanted EA to bring its sports franchises to Xbox live microsoft dissolved many of their sport franchises and sold two others (links and tennis). History is repeating. Microsoft wants WOW on the 360. Microsoft doesnt need to publish a fanasy mmorg like Vangaurd when they have the king of fantasy mmorg's on the way.jazreal

2) with the release of Vista and Microsofts push for games to be played across both the 360 and Vista platforms together what a better way to present this than with WOW. And for Blizzard this is a home run if Microsoft can make those servers work for both pcs and 360's. A cross platform mmorg would be great for WOW's future longevity. More people to play with. And only through the 360 would cross platforming be possibly. PS3 cant do it (or at least wont make the investments needed) and the Wii certainly couldnt.

3) The usb PC attachment that enables all wireless 360 devices to work on a windows PC just came out today. For cross platformers such as wow this device would have to be in the market so both pc users and 360 users have access to the same input devices. Look for mouse/keyboard adapters for the 360 to come out soon, possibly in the form as a system software upgrade. Imagine playing wow on the pc with a wireless headset for chat capabilities, or if you wanted, using a 360 controller. Oblivion has proved complex rpgs can be played through a simpler control scheme, a keyboard is not necessary.

4) Microsoft isnt looking to compete in the console war. They are aiming to WIN the console war. obtaining WOW for the 360 would be a huge nail in the ps3 coffin and one hell of a shot over the bow of the Wii pheonomena. the ability to play WOW on the 360 along with your pc friends would clearly differentiate the 360 and the Wii capabilities. Its no secret Microsoft has wanted WOW on the 360 for quite some time. Now that the Burning Crusade is out look for Blizzard and Microsoft to make some announcements.

WoW will not go to consoles, no matter how much you wish it. The amount of commands required is not enough for a controller and a keyboard is required. Since keyboards are not the standard on the 360, the majority of potential buyers will attempt to play the game on a controller, which is what happened in FFXI. Doing so will just screw up the game for everybody since you'll have people simply too overwhelmed to do their class job, thus disrupting the community, which Blizzard won't allow, even if it was a small percentage in their game.

Anyways, what's the deal with console players wanting WoW on their consoles all of the sudden? If you really want to play, just get a cheap video card, spend 20 bucks on the game and play. :|

It should be pretty obvious by now that XBL gamers don't care about paying for online. It only comes out to like $5 a month, so what's another $15 for an MMO? The 360 has a USB port, so I'm sure they can add support for USB mice and keyboards. If, for some reason, the PC isn't a viable WoW platform for some people, then the 360 isn't all that bad an alternative, regardless of the cost associated with it.PikaPichu

no, and i hope it doesn't happen. i'd rather have mmo's on the 360 without fees. i won't pay for mmo fees on ANY system.
