The official state of TOR on consoles as of now:

BioWare: No The Old Republic for consoles!

Just because EA gave Sony some DLC doesn't mean they'll gladly port over one of their most expensive projects ever.

Fair enough, so you can expect to hear info about TOR on consoles a year after the game is released.. if it survives that long. As of now - the game is NOT coming to consoles.

Where did EA's network infrastructure come from? An MMO's network infrastructure is a lot different from that used for other types of games because they have to run persistent content. It's like comparing Home's infrastructure to PSN's. Plus MMOs take dedication to play properly (look at the real-life incidents relating to MMO players going too far). Do you really see console gamers having the dedication to play an MMO long enough to make it worthwhile? Perhaps FF14 and DC Online will provide some much-needed measuring sticks.HuusAsking

But even EA knows that MMOs are a real hit-or-miss affair on consoles. Two Phantasy Star MMOs have come and gone. FF11's a shadow of its former self, and 14's a big question mark along with DC Online. Taking TOR to the PS3 will depend a lot on what happens here, and I would think EA is canny enough to make sure it'll take before diving in.HuusAsking

More RAM is needed, though. RTS's, especially today, can be very hungry especially when you get a high unit count. But for an RTS to work, you can't rely on the PC RTS formula--it's micromanagement motif relies too much on the PC's preferred devices. You'd need a different scheme altogether--a way to alter the S part of the RTS so that, perhaps, you can't micromanage, can only give orders in broad, or have delays in being able to see movements or having commands carried out (I say this because these could add more realistic elements to an RTS which may be a good way to take RTS's in new directions, but the audience has to want it first).HuusAsking

Since you obviously work at EA or BioWare, could you tell me how you're gonna play an MMO with a controller?coreybg

when the spend the time to devolp one and allow people to use a mouse and keyboard or controller yes.

I hope SW TOR goes PS3 bound, even though bioware seems infuriated at the concept. (Still EA wants > bioware)

I won't be getting a PC good enough to play it.
