How much would it cost to launch Age of Conan on the Ps4?

[Tiberivs]

Since Tomium didn't said anything relevant,i will just answer this for Funcom by simply saying: "it won't happen"
Why you wonder?
Because the game itself would need a full rework,ps4 is way ahead of a game like AoC because the game would "limit" the ps4 potential like it already does on PC. bla bla bla
You get the point peeps,so no big staff to this kind of work or money,so i don't think that even Kickstarter would help....sure Funcom could hire more people with Kickstarter money but from my experience worst thing ever is to mess with another programmer code....why?is a nightmare!(a reason why i believe Joel avoids some old stuff like "sieges",etc...)So that would mean a start from scratch...it would not work,game "core" would be changed with that and so on.

cheers

Sorry, I am not sure what you are talking about. We have update notes from the 10th right here.

Way to address the actual thread topic.

ESO is looking at releasing their title on a console soon. So its not totally unrealistic ... but I don't think FUNCOM has the team for it now.

On the "Update-letter" ; clearly you realized he/she meant Game-Director Letter. Please tell me yer not taking the role as troll here ?

I have to say; it is a bit odd that the letters come out (often) at the beginning of the month, addressing the previous months "efforts". Its like "uh ~ yeah ... we DID notice that changed feature/item already ... but thanx for telling us about it after the fact? Oh and blowing more smoke up my *** about whatever has been "in the works".

See You On the Battlefield

You know that PS4 and Xbox1 both lack a decent CPU and GPU, right? The specs of these consoles were outdated two years before their releases.

There's really no need to discuss numbers, because there is a zero chance that it will ever happen. The combo system, and the large amount of abilities that classes have would make it impossible unless the game was dumbed down specifically for the console gamers.

Pulling random numbers out of my ass, I'd say AoC has <1000 subscribers left. And if the Q3 2014 financial report has told us anything, it's to expect minimal investment into AoC.

Indeed. Releasing a game for console will also attract their numbers. And compare the average PC and console player: I am sure the latter will have a shorter attention span.
