Wow the colors the detail, I am impressed consoles sure are blooming up now. I though as picky as I am must say that AA would be in place but overall... it truly is next-gen!

Shows that all this talk about MMO's being RAM hogs is bullock's...

Even though it's a joke..would they even hint about it if they weren't doing something on console?

 

[Neb]

Was it a joke? ...

 

[DeadlyNinja]

Do you guys think it'll be ported to the Wii? I mean, it should be able to render most of that with little trouble, yes?

 

[hoho]

I though as picky as I am must say that AA would be in place

But AA would loose those sharp colours!

Even though it's a joke..would they even hint about it if they weren't doing something on console?

I doubt WoW could be ported to consoles that easily. Sure, it would be playable but to be honest, without a buttload of addons and tens of shortcut keys you won't be doing any higher-end PvE or PvP.

Of course something doesn't neccesarily mean WoW so who knows what they'll do with their next MMO

Awesome concept art.

Blizzard... they only rave about graphics & sound... as usual...
When will they finally make a consistent gaming experience. I mean not like those ridiculous games where you have to pick up dropped items all the time and are a warlord, but a game where you pick up dropped items and are a janitor.

8 unique directions. 2 of them probably won't make release knowing blizzard.
