It was always on the cards I guess.... Shame such cool strategic games have to suffer just for the button-bashing console market

Saying that... wonder how they'll fill out CSR tickets with no keyboard... and how will they interact socially?? Could get very quiet...

Yeah, been wondering the chat thing as well... maybe that is also the reason why you cant read the chat window when in combat mode

Yeah, no idea how that'll work.

Let's just hope they get their own servers...

That'd be lovely, but then I guess if they were doing that, they may as well have kept 2 versions of the game on separate servers; a dumbed-down one for them, and a proper one for us...

Time will tell - I quite like that screenshot of the way the skill tree will look, but it's taken all the fun and challenge out of creating a template. *sigh* silly SOE

Ah yes, but they haven't realised that if combat in the NGE is even vaguely like FPS games on consoles, all our practice on that, combined with our finely tuned pilot reflexes means we'll PWN 3VRY1!

(I direct you to the previous helpful guide to l33t speak)

Think I have an answer to the chat thing - presumably all the console versions will indeed be on their own servers, with no chat facilities. They can't be on our servers, cos we'd try and talk to someone and they'd not be able to respond - very rude, we'd think! So yeah, I guess they'll have a very different experience without the chat and all, but at least they'll be separated nicely away from all us social peeps

Someone else on the forums made the point that a lot of online console games come with headsets...

Not that I can see how that would work either

Surely everyone would be talking over everyone else, and asking for stuff to be repeated all the time... it'd be a nightmare!!

Heehee, no offence taken Alas

And I honestly think they have to be kept quarantined.. errr.. separated from us PC-ers, just for the whole chat logistics thing We'll find out soon I guess, when we start talking to people who don't respond...

It'll be bloody lovely for them though - just think, no entertainer or vendor spammers clogging up your screen! (no offence Talen )

Having done a quick check.. the only things I can find that have console / PC mixed play is stuff like footy games, so SWG would be amongst the first to have mic mmorg servers if they went this way.


Console Monkeys- leave our server alone with you pregenerated chat and limited dialogue


And yes, I own a console.. just dont use it much   just as a dvd player

If this is solely a PC game, and part of me hope that it is the case, unless console monkeys get thier own servers, then SOE and LA have lost the plot big style.

Its a shame that only time will tell, as they have miseld the player base so much that now no-one believes anything anyone says

Think that's taken as read anyway!! And I think I heard the new XBox is coming out at Christmas... so we get to be the guinea pigs to work out all the bugs before SWG goes live for the console monkeys
