to be honest "fool of april" is pretty lame. That doesn't even exist

wow or starcraft can be easly done on the ps3 or 360, why simple. final fantasy 11 proved a mmorpg can be controlled flawless on a controller ( ps2/360 ). halo wars proved a rts can be controlled flawlessly on a controller as well. it seems to me that, blizzard just doesnt want too make a console game or they are just too damn lazy to make a effort into making a game for the consoles. i also think wow and starcraft could be done on the wii as well, wow would need to use the 32gb sd cards for the space needed to run the game on the wii.

Do you know what you'd have to sacrifice to play WoW on any console past or present, from a gameplay perspective, without a keyboard?

To give you some idea, think of how RTS' have fared thus far on console, and then multiply that complexity by a factor of 10.




lol, I knew it was some regional thing.
Although, it was fun and I thought I found a good anagram anyhow with "poo fail rofl"
I also assume you meant to use the plural "you" as I never got my hopes up in the first place.

What's the German joke: "fool of April"?
It's different from the American "April fools"?



ah good to know.
does the german version last all day or just til' noon?

Why don't they just release another game with their own damn custom interface and quit bitching. They've done it before with Guitar Hero.



Wow! Has Blizzard ever considered using keyboard and mouse controls? I know noone has ever done this before. That's why there are no PC games, ever. You know UT3 works just fine with a keyboard and mouse on the PS3. I wonder why Blizzard can't program for that?

Sure the 360 may be out of the question other than a controller, but come on Blizzard. Quit making excuses like this. The PS3 is currently the best platform to port PC game onto. Mainly because they don't have to change anything except the base code. Graphics, sound, controlls, and gameplay can all be done +/- near equal.

I understand the Wii is what they are looking at because they can make more money there, but let's not make false accusations about the PS3 and 360. Controllers work fine for RTS game and MMO. Not as good, but still, they work well. Plus, like I said before, what's so bad about using a keyboard and mouse? Will Blizzard stop making PC games now since it is an outdated controll sceme that they don't want to use anymore?



I have moved and do not have the internet at home, yet.

lol, good ol' Bliz would lose money if they went wii-exclusive, 3rd parties dont do well enough on it to be deemed as justified.



I just wonder if the make a game with new IP for the Wii and it fails what would they say next?

Next thing we know they will be trashing Nintendo and calling the "Fucking Genesis".

Are you shitting me? Porting to the PS3 is far hader than it is for the 360, simply because SONY decided to make PS3's hardware a mess and a nightmare for any developer.

Also controllers do NOT work for RTS games and MMO games at all.

Wii is Blizzard's best bet simply because of the types of games they make. They are ncie and simple and very easy to get into. You never realize how they eat away 4 years of your life.
