is MW:O heading to consoles?? possibly next gen
I know I might be overthinking it, but hear me out

3rd person view, arm locking to CT, consumables and microtransactions in general

3rd person view, PGI had an abrupt change of heart and they're pushing it despite a lot of negative feedback
3PV is godsend for console market

arm locking to CT - just one controller, no mouse and keyboard
it doesn't need extra explanation

microtransactions - it worked for EA's Dead Space, why wouldn't it for MW:O?

Doesn't matter. It will be like Defiance. Sony and Microsoft won't play nice together so if it comes out on console, PC won't play with them.

it kinda' does
it so reminds me of Diablo3 and the whole saga surrounding it's conception
a lot of people who played D3 saw the game not as a PC game but as a test bed for a console game, and oh boy .. they were so right

[MadPanda]

If this was made by a big developer, maybe. But PGI? They can't get one version right, you think they are going to make console version? U r crazy

I think they are barely coping right now with one platform, I don't see how they'd have the time to do another quite frankly.

[Mokou]

Do not give them ideas!

[Stoicblitzer]

i like how all these questions get asked when the community's confidence in the devs is near an all-time low. 2/10

Actually right now they are dealing with several hundred if not several thousand platforms, every PC that can run this game is to a lesser or greater extent a custom gaming rig, and very few are the same, on the other hand EVERY console of a given flavor is the same, with at most some minor variances in hard drive size.

Maybe in some distant future there will be a mech warrior game for consoles. But not this one simply because it was not programmed to be one. Programming new one from scratch using some things tested in mwo is way cheaper than porting mwo to ze consoles.

Sirs;

Didn't Microsoft buy FASA? And doesn't Microsoft have some interest in X-Boxes? And if a small developer has a KEEN idea and makes a few bucks on it, isn't it possible they'll sell out to the MAN??

Just sayin'....

They are features to make the game less brutal on newbies, thus they are console like features.

[von Pilsner]

Aren't there too many buttons for a console game...?

[FupDup]

A Free2Play game would be pretty f*cked up on anything other than a PC TBH.

wsad mouse and 2-3 buttons is what most of the players use. 6axis have 2 sticks +12 buttons+6 aixs duh.

for example of controls lets see modern armored core. 1 stick for look 1 for move crest for map\vision and triangle etc buttons for 4 weapons groups. and we still have 4 triggers and 6axis for what JJ?
