Xbox 360 version of Age of Conan not a 'key priority' photo

The last time we checked in the Xbox 360 version of Age of Conan, it was Funcom reiterating that the title was still on its way. The story has changed quite a bit since then. In an interview with Strategy Informer, product director Jergen Theraldsen said that that the console version of the game is not one of Funcom’s key priorities.

From the interview:
Development on the Xbox 360 version is not our key priority as there are a massive amount of PC gamers already playing the game, and we rightly have the focus on them. While there is a dedicated specialist project team working on Xbox, the PC version will remain our top priority for now.
Theraldsen went on to say that the Xbox 360 version is “greatly benefiting” from all the patches the PC version has gotten since release. At least know we know that the specialist team is still working and hopefully that 2009 release will remain achievable.

Are any of you still excited about the prospects of Age of Conan with a console controller? Or has the recent rash of MMOs soiled your aspirations for a game that is already somewhat dated?

I really want to see a console MMO make it, but I'd rather see it come from a company that's excited about trying something new and is ready to focus solely on the console experience. I don't think just porting a PC game is going to cut it.

I agree 100% with CJSchmidt. Bring some innovation to the table and I will be interested.

Do not want and people still play Age of Conan?

I'm interested to see if they can pull off a decent console MMO. Especially if it's free on XBL. I'd definitely be into that.

I'd rather see WAR come to the 360 instead.

It's Jørgen Tharaldsen and that picture is more flattering than you think.

I'd love a decent console MMO, but I think the best we can get is PSU and that FF game.

Will you have to pay monthly to play an MMO on XBL? It would suck having to pay your ISP, Microsoft and the game developper each month.

People act like FFXI never happened.... Sad face.. it worked out well for a PC port.

FFXI > Age of Conan
