I'll be surprised if it ever happens. Plenty of developers target consoles and never get there.

The only way it'll work is if they outsource the port to an experienced studio who has some idea of what they're doing on those platforms.

Some hope - what would they be paying for? 12 v 12 deathmatch over and over?

[Sabazial]

And there is the reason they forced 3PV down our throats.

[Mizore]

Well, then there's only auto-aim missing XD

From what i understand developing games on the next gen consoles is much easier becouse its using the same architecture as pc hardware. I honestly have a feeling they are working on something big behind the scenes becouse there's no way they put so much time into this game and get so little done. I wouldn't be suprised if they announce a console version of the game eventually. That would answer alot of questions.

It wouldn't go to the playstation since MS holds the rights, but it sounds like it may be headed to the Xbox.

MW:O -> MechAssault 3?

[Novakaine]

Well I guess the catapult's out of the bag now.
And this explains everything.
No lobby.
No Community Warfare.
No UI2.0.
All resources diverted to console ports.
Add a few more mechs and maps and that's it.
I was depressed about the state of this game.
Now I'm just plain pissed off.
What a ripoff.
Thanks PGI.

This is pretty much why we haven't gotten anything in the last year. They're redesigning so that it works with consoles, and porting. Meaning no time to actually develop the game.

It's a business, money is in the consoles, and people keep paying ludacris amounts (myself included) for stupid things like a few mechs for a game that is nothing but an uncustomizable deathmatch.. so why add more features when what they have already makes money!


(psst the deathmatch is still fun though...)

[Elyam]

Does indeed explain a lot. I surely wouldn't want to play on a console with a controller stick. Maybe a sophisticated hotas, but nothing without the response and sensitivity you get from mouse control. You can easily see stick players in-game and the difficulties they have. (not meant to be an all-encompassing statement, I'm sure some do fine)

People keep saying this. Guess no one knows there was a Mech assault 3 on the Nintendo DS.



What We have now will be Mech assault 4.......

Every time I read a Bryan Ekman post anymore I use this guy:



Precede the twitter post with "Gentlemen, BEHOLD! ...<INSERT TWITTER POST HERE>"

Makes it far less dramatic and far more entertaining.

This makes me want to punch a kitten.

Ya, I saw one that but I don't really count the Nintendo DS as a true console (or any portable device for that matter), so I figure this title is kinda on it's own and doesn't count. I'm going to stick with MW:O will be the new MechAssault 3.

[Doomstryke]

thought that game already existed and it was called armored core....

It's pretty amazing that every time Brian says something on twitter its like he completely forgets the effects his every word will be dissected by the community and analyzed. You would think after the 3rd person stuff he would either get rid of twitter or just not respond without first checking with PR team...

[DegeneratePervert]

I might actually win a game against Xbawks kiddos, that's what I think.

[Bhael Fire]

I don't think that's what he meant when he said "New consoles"

Sounded like he was using the release of XBox One and PS4 as some cryptic excuse for why we have no new features for launch...for whatever reason that might be.

But I don't think it's a direct confirmation that MWO will be released on consoles. Unless maybe, PGI/IGP is getting bought-out by Microsoft Studios.

[Heat Seeking Civet]

i highly doubt he is talking about porting to console. If anything they are talking about wanting to get their game out there before everyone else goes to the new consoles releasing in november.

It's a marketing move, nothing more.

We have a winner.

Oh, I'm sorry, this doesn't jive with the rest of you.
