EIF 2008: Codemasters talk console versions of Jumpgate: Evolution, Lord of the Rings Online

Jumpgateevo.jpgSpeaking recently at EIF, Dave Solari of Codemasters spoke briefly about the possibility of bringing upcoming MMO space shooter Jumpgate: Evolution and MMORPG Lord of Rings to consoles. "Yeah, I think that both could work on other platforms... Jumpgate would be perfect for console at one point because of the way it plays and the ease of playing. " However he added that "There's no fixed plans right now. I'd like to think that we'll do something about that in future, but there's nothing to say about it right now."

The console MMO scene has yet to really take off, but I could definitely see a title like Jumpgate: Evolution working well on consoles. It's got fast, twitch-based gameplay that probably suits the controller better than the usually rather crowded interfaces that come as part of the MMO experience.
