Free MMORPG Forums

I have a friend with an xbox 360, he was interested in champions online so whenever I notice something. I give him the info.

But now, I see it listed at gamecon, but only for PC, the cryptic website also only lists it as an PC game.

Now this is what I hear.

360 lost the chance to have upcoming mmorpgs like CHAMPIONS ONLINE on their system because of MS's strict online rules and policies. even Cryptic said they wanted to make their mmorpg for the system, but MS's rules didn't allow it even though FFXI and PSU were exceptions. They aren't budging this time.

Could this be true?

The devs at the forums said nothing of this...they said that their working on the xbox360 version still.

i think cryptic wanted to make it playable for silver accounts.

Silver membership is free, and you can use it to access Xbox Live's marketplace, download demos, buy movies or games, etc.

Gold membership is $50/year and allows you to do everything you can do with Silver, but also play online multiplayer games, such as Halo3, UNO, etc.

Basically, if you want to play games online against other people, you need a Gold membership. Otherwise, Silver will do everything else for free.

Last I heard the XBox 360 version, might be out early next year.

What you see is what is at present. The 360 version may not be close to being revealed?

hyarume · 08-10-2009, 09:02 PM

but the thing is it isn't listed anymore for the xbox.
www.crypticstudios.com

And.. the gamecon announcemet was Champions online (PC)
With only PC behind it.

The thing is RIGHT FROM THE START it has been announced for the XBOX.

This would be logical. I can't see any other reason behind MS greed.

;o It probably won't see the light of day on the 360. If you guys can remember, MS partnered up with Cryptic to release a superhero MMO on the 360. They had a fallout over somethin' (can't remember) and basically they told each other to go f*ck themselves and Cryptic started working on Champions.

:/ So, yeh.
