Isn't MS publishing Jade Empire?
I thought they wanted it to stay xbox exclusive...

 

[bogg]

Yeah, but it's a smart move to release it for the pc a few months after the xbox version, to make bioware fans that dont own a xbox happy, and to make more money.

 

[NWO]

Wow an Xbox exclusive game coming out on the PC....what a shock [/end sarcasm]

 

[SlickWilly223]

Nevermind. I'm wrong.

 

[Insertia]

First KOTOR and now this. I'm glad Bioware isn't keeping their titles on consoles.

So instead of spend all this time making a superior PC version, then port it to console. The are maing a handicapped console version and porting it to PC?

Doesn't make sense to me. Doing it that way will only help the Xbox. Why would MS want that?

Did MS buy Bioware?

I should KOTOR and Jade Empire would of existed (on PC) without MS.

 

[TekunoRobby]

I would certainly hope so, I've got a group of friends who don't own an Xbox and would LOVE to play this game. Although isn't the game setup somewhat like a traditional fighting game? The keyboard/mouse might be a bit clumsy for it.

Jade Empire 1.5.

it would suck on PC anyway with the real time combat.


Just get an xbox, even by my poor poor standards they are dirt cheap.

Heh, yes.

What is this, 1982?

Its made specifically for console audience. And its Microsofts game not BioWare's.

Besides, Xbox version will make them a lot more money than the PC version, like KOTOR.

 

[TekunoRobby]

I know the stigmata of poor console ports to the PC is far too large to ignore I think we should hold out judgement until this project is shown. KOTOR and Doom 3 are excellent example of creating a game with consoles in mind. I know KOTOR was developed for both platforms simultaneously and that was an excellent PC game without the poor translation that other titles suffer from.
