In a recent interview with Videogamer.com , Theraldsen, Funcom¡¯s product director, talked about Xbox 360 gamers and PC gamers joining together to experience Hyboria in cross-platform play
As reported from IGN, Theraldsen says that¡
¡± We want them [Xbox 360 gamers] to be able to play with their PC friends if they like to¡ 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,¡±
I think, this will be a huge challenge and difficulty for Funcom, as mentioned in the quote, they would have to make everything fair between the two platforms, view distance, essential gameplay graphics (e.g. Casting animations) and because the Xbox version is expected to be released a year after the PC version comes out, A lot of Xbox 360 players will be flattened by the experienced PC players. Of course eventually the Xbox players will have the same skill as the PC players, but if the game is not well balanced for the Xbox players it will be even more difficult. This means that Age of Conan could get a bad reputation on consoles for being unfair. To counter this I suggest that Funcom make it optional whether you want to play with the other platform.
