Title: Turbine's new MMO on console Post by: Soln on September 18, 2009, 02:57:09 PM via Massively blerg (http://www.massively.com/2009/09/18/agdc09-breaking-turbine-confirms-console-mmo-in-the-works/)
Title: Re: Turbine's new MMO on console Post by: Tannhauser on September 18, 2009, 07:18:20 PM I'd love a console MMO. I played WAR with my 360 controller thanks to Switchblade but it got annoying after a while. Consoles have successful strategy games like Civ and RTS like Halo Wars, both of which I enjoy. MMO's are the last frontier.

"The company is overall hopeful that the friendly atmosphere of console gaming will lower a lot of barriers that might have otherwise kept players away from the MMO genre. There's a certain amount of risk in this, he admits, but Turbine is essentially staking the future of the company on this assumption." - VP Craig Alexander at GDC Austin http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25349 Title: Re: Turbine's new MMO on console Post by: Stormwaltz on September 23, 2009, 07:38:22 AM I'm not sure why this thread is under LotRO in the graveyard, since this new MMO will be a different IP on a different platform Soln must know something we don't. :oh_i_see: Title: Re: Turbine's new MMO on console Post by: Mrbloodworth on September 23, 2009, 07:47:38 AM I'm not sure why this thread is under LotRO in the graveyard, since this new MMO will be a different IP on a different platform Soln must know something we don't. :oh_i_see: It was confirmed in most of the articles that they will not be porting existing IP's (check out the presentation slides). Word on the street is, its harry potter. Title: Re: Turbine's new MMO on console Post by: Aez on September 23, 2009, 10:37:31 AM Harry Potter is the perfect franchise for a MMO. It's much better that Lord of the rings or Star Wars. Hell, Harry follows a DIKU progression in the book.
