Age of Conan

I was just reading a few threads on a bunch of different forums. Now first off, you can flame me for never posting and blah blah blah as you do to ppl who dont post very often.

However, I frequent many forums, and just tend not to post often unless I have first hand knowledge about the discussion at hand...

And when It come to Xbox360 I do have first hand knowledge as I work for them directly. I am currently employed by Microsoft on the Xbox360 team.

TO ADD to that I AM NOT AN XBOX fanboy and dont even own one, Im a PC gamer at heart.

However, the 360 is MORE than capable of Running AoC to ppl who dont believe that it can, your probably the same ppl who didnt think that FFXI was possible on a console, or Oblivion.

I do know the exact specs of the console , and it is more than likely more powerful as a dedicated gaming machine than about 75% of the home computers on the market currently even if it is 2.5 years old.

The only CPU's that can actually claim they are more powerful are the top end CPU's that gamers tend to customer build.  So yes it is VERY plausible to run AOC on the Xbox360 Console.

NO you will not have to have GOLD XBOX Live to play it. YES you will have to sub to AOC on the Console to play it. But ALL subscription based games are playable with Silver xbox Live, meaning, just plug the console into the internet.

Now you can flame me all you want and call me a fanbois or w/e you'd like, I just call it as I see it.

They are advertising for programmers if your interested?

I think we will be looking at a spring release next yr for the xbox and they have officially said too that they wont Force PC gamers to be on the same server as the 360 players, and vice versa, but there will be the option for them to play on the same server though.

I think its a very capable machine, just will depend on the net connection of the user too.

I work for Microsoft, And no where did I claim to be a programmer. I work for xbox :P Why would i go work for Funcom . hehehe.

I am not making claims about how its going to operate in relation to the PC version ( which I will be playing) but I just wanted to toss some credible info about the 360 out there for all the nay sayers about the consoles ability to play it

Question: I agree that Consoles can out perform PCs; just look at PS3 graphics--surreal. Now here's my queston...why don't the consoles have any real mmo to offer the PC crowd?
