Possibility of console release?
-
Im hoping in the future we might see a shared server console release like DCUO has. Where you can play with the same people between pc and consoles. What do you guys think? Would this game work well with a controller?

@dagimir To adjust the PC control on the console, this MMO is quite a chore, maybe a controller will need to put a bunch of functions on the keyboard much easier to implement. Take the use of skill keys 1-0 or button of the inventory, maps, crafts and so on. Of course, all these functions can be made in the button "settings" and "start", but the use of skills may not be very "comfortable"(who as).

it will only depend on how profitable the PC version is. Not too many games are getting cross-platform play, Sony and MS seem to fight each other and even PC because they want their players to not migrate to another system.

Alright, PCs are the master race but please keep it on topic.

My only concern is the development time to push patches on 2 consoles. Usually these patches cost $40k to push out (I'll admit the article is 4 years old and they did mention cheaper indie prices). DS would have to make enough income to cover that every patch (honestly if they do their store and KS right they could make that easily).
To have cross platform they'd have to patch both consoles (or 1) and pc simultaneously. or they separate the consoles, patch pc first, we test it for 3 months then they push it to console.

Main prob is the disadvange by playing with a console (not everyone got a keyboard + mouse). Guilds will avoid non pc players due that fact. Recruit would be much more difficult/harder due to check the hardware of the players. Personally I would like to avoid asking around pic and so on ^^.

why would a keyboard/mouse matter on a console? voip should be integrated (discord plz) into the game so we don't really have to type. I know the last thing i want is to start typing something and get attacked/ganked.

Dude the precision with the combo keyboard + mouse! Is not a problem of communication ;). A gamepad is better for action/sport or fighting games. Fps/moba the keyboard + mouse combo is proved stronger.
