@Farzlepot - Minecraft is a pretty straight forward game. I'd be shocked if they fucked that up.
Amra2/DayZ however is not such a simple game. Any one that has played it would tell you that the controls would need changing to put it onto a console. As soon as they start to do that they'd run the risk of ruining the game.
If they released it on PC first and then focussed on the console release that would be fine. I just wouldn't want to know that another game i really enjoy has been ruined by consoles.
As I said, I'm still annoyed with how terribly UT3 came out and there is no doubt in my mind that they made it the way it was for consoles.
I'm prepared to get negged to hell and back for saying this...
I hope the game doesn't go to consoles simply because i'm sure if it did, it would be ruined. They'd probably give it a completely new control system and simplify it to the extent of it doesn't feel like Arma/DayZ any more. Anyone who has played the game knows how many controls the game has, it would need some serious changing to be able to make the controls work on a Pad.
The idea of more people being able to play the game is amazing as i think everyone should at least try life in Chernarus as they are bound to fall in love with it.
However I am not happy with it heading into the console world as it's bound to get ruined.

Brace yourself; The console fanboys are comming. They wont like hearing that the PC has beat the new consoles before they have even been sold. Reply-12
@SlickShoes I do agree, whenever i die and end up spawning again on my own with no map or weapon it makes it very tense trying to find a weapon so you can defend yourself and a map to find out where you are, especially when you know there is no one there to cover your back. I find i end up crawling everywhere to reduce the chance of agro. Now i've played it for a while though i'm used to how close/far you need to be from the Zombies
What brings me to a question. Are there any EG nights where a load of you are playing on one server? Reply0
@booner I find the same, playing on your own is fun but it's no way near as fun as playing with a group of friends all talking over Skype or Teamspeak. The game is all sorts of fun when there are a few of you.
What makes me laugh is most of the console gamers ragging on Ninty for doing this have probably only experienced a handful, and i say that at a stretch, of games running at 1080/60fps.
It's Nintendo, I couldn't careless what resolution they use as long as they give me a HD Zelda i couldn't care less if it was 720 or 1080p.
If i really want my eye candy i'll just go onto my gaming PC and play 1080/120fps Reply+2
I'm 22 and 3/4 years old and I've been playing since Blue, Red and Yellow. Every game. You'd think I would get burned out but I always love the games. I wish they would make a full home console game though. That would be the greatest game ever, in my eyes anyway. Reply+1

A console version of DayZ "is almost certain" and talks with Sony have already happened
