Age of Conan: Xbox 360 & PC owners can play together, PS3 version possible

[Zeus]

Age of Conan developer Funcom has said that the Xbox 360 version of the game should be released in no longer than year and that gamers with the Xbox 360 version will be able to play those on the PC version. Funcom also said that they haven't ruled out the possibility of a PS3 version but it definitely won't come to the Wii.

Tharaldsen said that the developer would like for PC and Xbox 360 players to be able to play together, and that Age of Conan will be "the same essence and the same experience" on Microsoft's console.

"We want them to be able to play with their PC friends if they like to," he said. "It's not a forced thing but we would like that to happen. But obviously the control mechanism, the communication, all this is stuff we are solving on a daily basis. The patching, the install, the footprint, the payment, the servers, the customer service... it's a challenge. But we will get there eventually."</div><hr style="border: 1px solid #ACA899;" /></blockquote>

I got to Beta the game last week and it was awesome. It had a few glitches, however it looks smoke'n. I would love to play it on my 360, but I ain't wait'n.

My PC is a AMD 5200+ Dual Core, 2.7 ghz with 2 Gigs of 800 mhz mem and Dual 8800GTs running in SLI. I only got about 50 FPS with full settings. Its a really nice lookin, fun game. The Combat system is awesome.

Pre-ordered the collectors edition, i have my 3 days early access code which is actually 6 days for the uk. Funcoms forums have crashed its meant to and im laughing my ass off. I'm glad to hear your opinion though.

Running two machines here. C2d 6600 (2.4ghz) 4GB 800mhz memory and a nice single 8800gtx the other is a C2d 8200 (2.6ghz) 4GB 1066mhz memory with a factory overclocked 9600gt. Will be interesting to compare dx9 to dx10 again.

The funcom forums do say that 35fps+ is acceptable and 45fps is good so i hope im covered. While i think of it visit http://ageofconan.com/ in firefox and check your browsers cpu usage :D

I went to the store today and they have always had the release for the third or fourth quarter of 2008.
But i asked to day (Just for the hell of it).
And they said the date for release was to be expected in the beginning of 2009 (for 360)....

Seems pretty difficult to make it complatible between the PC and 360.
THough i am glad they do it so they don't just "shove it on the market".
