Re: Which platform would you play Vanguard on?

I voted for console, as it should support a keyboard and a mouse.

I actually believe Taranis that Vanguard will never be launched as a X-box title and yet still believe it will be on X-box. I did some searches on Taranis and his posts regarding the X-box and I noticed that several of his posts on this matter are slightly different each time. At one time he actually posted that Vanguard will never be launched on X-box ever at any time in the future.

The problem I seem to think is that people is thinking in terms of a separate launch for the X-box as in Pc version launch then a X-box version launch. If the NXA coding is what I think it is, it is coding that would make the game both compatible to a Pc and the X-box console and thus it is not necessary to do a X-box title launch for Vanguard.

To clarify my statement on believing Taranis saying Vanguard will never be launched on X-box at any time as one of his post said and yet still expect to see Vanguard on the console, I mean that Vanguard will be launched as a Pc game and if you would check the compatible OS systems and the minimum system requirements of the game on the side of the game package, you may see “NXA compatible” in the list. The point above is that the game will be launched as a Pc version only and if you try to put it onto a X-box 360, it would actually work despite the game not being a X-box title/version.

I also know that Microsoft cut off from Mythica because Microsoft will no longer support single platform mmo’s, so the only way for Sigil to get into bed with Microsoft is to agreed on supporting more than one platform.

One more thing I need to say is that when Taranius puts in a post regarding the X-box 360, he says “X-box title’ “won’t be at X-box launch” “X-box version”. That gets me thinking that you cannot expect to find Vanguard in the console or X-box category and will need to head over to the Pc category to pick it up when buying it for your X-box 360.
