when this game first came out i read on this site that tripwire was open to making console versions of red orchestra. did they decide to forget about consoles? not a good business decision?
360 version not a good idea?

console players require thier games to be dumbed down quite a bit, RO console would probably have crosshairs (BLASPHEMY).
See when a new player comes to RO and you hear "ZOMG HOW DO I TURN CROSSHAIR ON?" or "WHERE IS MY CROSSHAIR"
thats because the previous games they have played are also availble on consoles thus have been dumbed down.

Eh, I would assume, if the developers are making a game RO players will love, that will stay on PC, complexity in games doesn't fit well on consoles.
A console game is possible in the future though, wait for updates I guess

That's some nice baseless generalization there.
RO could easily work on a console, it's not that complex, a console pad has enough buttons for your basic movement, aiming, shoot, bayonet, lean, use and map. Plus the rest like commands etc can be handled using a quick command gui ala GRAW easily.
I don't know where the hell you got the idea that people asking about a crosshair in RO are all console players, did you survey them all? I think you'll find a lot of those questions stem from players of whatever system who are used to every other FPS having a crosshair.
I'd like to see the game come to a console, whatever generates revenue for TWI and keeps them afloat and producing great video games is fine in my book.
It would work on a pad but playing it would be utter ****.
Not to mention 16 player maps, low res textures, bulky weapon models and iron sights and huge hitboxes.
No thanks.

So every console game equals low quality graphical piece of **** with hitboxes that equals scycrapers and everything's dumbed down so much that even 2 year old could play the game like some master? Sure PC can beat sometimes the **** out of consoles - especially gameplaywise, but somehow I don't get the idea that console visuals would be always greatly inferior to the PC. Unless you compare NES games to new PC games or PS1 to new PC games.
And I really don't recall any game that would look ugly or completely ****ed up in terms of visuals. Resident Evil 5 looks decent, Mass Effect looks far beter on x360 than it does on my laptop with low details, Assasin's Creed looks also decent and so on.
I believe he was mistaken with the visuals. The good thing about consoles is that you don't have to worry whether or not your system can run it, but it probably would look better on the PC version with a good system. However I have never seen a realism based game on a console before. I think it has to do with the fact that if someone develops for console, they want everybody to be good at it, and want it to be fun. Unfortunately not everybody's definition of fun is realism so that is why nearly every console is a more "arcade" like shooter. Haven't we already argued about this before in about 100 other threads though?
OFP elite for xbox? Dont know how sucessful it was though, either port/gameplay wise or sales wise
Tbh the only thing that would be problematic in a console-RO would be the distances of infantry battles in maps like Berezina. Otherwise on maps like Danzig there wouldn't be any problems or at least not more than some quick tweaks needed.
I think them most "realistic" console Ww2 fps was BIAEIB....
Can anybody name one mroe realistic?

Also of note, I know for a fact that PS 3 accept keyboard and mouse input for games (I asked a Sony rep at GDC one year), as long as the developer implements it.
And I've been told the xbox 360 can do the same but don't have first hand on that one.

As long as they make better use of it than nintendo did with their snes mouse 'support' awesome
Doesnt MGS4 have a certain amount of keyboard support (beyond text input, both console support usb kb for that if you didnt know ) in that you can use the print screen key for screen capping or am i just pulling that out of my ass?
awesome
