Turbine still playing cagey over DDO console version
Filed under: Fantasy, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Business models, Game mechanics, MMO industry, News items, Consoles, Rumors
First floated yesterday, the rumor that Dungeons and Dragons Online was going to be ported to consoles is still flopping around, gasping for breath, yet not entirely dead. According to an article on the Crispy Gamer site, Turbine Communications Director Adam Mersky has neither confirmed nor denied the rumor. He only states that they are working on a console title, whose announcement will come later this year.
Though the article seems to take it as read that DDO is not console-bound, Mersky's comment was not a flat denial, meaning that there is still a possibility that the franchise could find a home on one of the next-gen systems. Is this something that would be of interest? Would the console version's players be able to play against the PC version's players? Time will tell, and once it's been announced, so will we!

if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.... well I can't hold my tongue. A console port of an MMO is coming (maybe) and it HAD to be DDO... I personally did not like the game at all. There are many other MMO's I would prefer to see get a port before DDO... Even an Anarchy port would make me giddy.
heck a WoW port to iPhone would make the Jesus phone nearly complete, throw a pokemon port (not that "I" like pokemon) at the phone and you would have a TRUE HOLY TRINITY.
ok back to earth Ori......(Sigh)
