Secret World would be "different" on console

Eurogamer: "MMO The Secret World will have to be "a different game" to work on consoles, Funcom has told Eurogamer. That's assuming the PC game becomes "a huge success" and justifies the continuation of the console project in the first place."

Why !!
Would it not be a Secret Anymore ?

Probably has to do with control schemes

Also, but the main reason is here I think:

"It is a challenge, and it's a challenge because neither Microsoft nor Sony has made great strides to open up the platforms to MMOs. Sony has definitely done some experiments with DC Universe, which has worked quite well."

@ Fulensenca

And Free Realms too.

Not only was DC Universe greeted with great success by selling out all of the PS3 retail copies, but FREE REALMS was released on the PS3 last week, and I downloaded it. It's not only a free game, but it's also free per month, and it's cross platform to boot. It works great, btw.

More MMO's are on the way, so if Funcom wanted to put Secret World on the PS3 they could. If they choose not to, and decide to skip consoles altogether and miss their opportunities, then that's totally their own fault, because their comment about Sony not opening up their platform to MMO's is a lie.

Considering that they know of DC Universe online, free Realms and Final Fantasy XIV, I think it is like if they said: "well, on Sony platform we can make it with no problem but we have a sort of agreement with Microsoft for a console exclusive. But since Microsoft is not going to open their system as much as Sony did, our game will probably be a PC exclusive"

Well since I'm really interested in this game, I will probably subscribe to it on PC. But it would be cool, if they decide on console versions, to let us import our profiles into the ports.

Sounds like they shouldn't even be talking about a console version. Focusing on getting the game out in the best, complete form possible, establish a strong user base on PC, then worry about getting it on a console.
