Tell Me what you think?
This kind of game will not, i repeat WILL NOT work on a console. I don't understand why people IN THIS DAY IN AGE... think it's possible. You wanna try and play this game using all these buttons??? GO RIGHT AHEAD

I cant think of any way to control my characters the same way on xbox, the amount of buttons you need is simply too great. Im having trouble on a pc keyboard as is.. So I would say no. DC universe online is an example of a MMO that was overly simplified in order to make it playable on console, and it simply didnt work. You have about 8 different powers at a given time..

Especially given the way the current Xbox systems really constrained HD space to save costs, qt this point you are talking a nearly 30 Gig game right now. I mean would you go with the game disc for initial loading instructions and have the rest load to the HD? The logistics involved with this alone would make it near impossible not to mention the key binding fiasco that would ensue as others have stated. The whole thing to me is just a really bad idea.

The current Xbox controller already has a keyboard expansion, so it would be playable on an Xbox 360 concerning controls. The main thing is that a console game these days can hold a maximum of 64 players. The planets would be even more empty than they are now. If a true MMO ever makes a succesful port to a console, it would be on the next generation. For this generation of consoles, it's possible, be due to restrictions that would hold back the 'MM'-part of the game, unlikely.

It can if you add the chatpad, which is basically a qwerty keyboard added to the bottom of the controller. If one of those was required to be able to play TOR on xbox then it might actually work.

360 and PS3 also have these things called USB ports which you can plug a keyboard and mouse into.
Worked fine for earlier MMOs like FFXI and Phanatsy Star Online, but it seems people forgot how to use anything less than a controller with consoles these days, it's a shame really..

Could you imagine how many game discs there would be & how often you'd have to switch them out?
