Why WoW should be released on the Sony P ...

As most of you know, Sony is completely getting rid of the PSP UMD. By doing this, load times will lessen and more importantly size limitations are no longer a problem.Now, we've seen that the PSP can handle games like Untold Legends Brotherhood of The Blade. It has decent graphics at pretty much the same standard of WoW, and a fairly large open ended world. The game only used up about 2/10ths of the PSP UMD. With the UMDs out of the way imagine how much bigger the game could be made. Better still...imagine World of Warcraft. WoW with Burning Crusade and Wrath of the lich king, at its smallest is around 6Gbs in size.I've seen what PSP hackers can do. They've developed a program which allows them to play PC games through their PSP...including WoW!Picture this: World of Warcraft released on PSP with slightly less graphical quality so it runs at full speed. Sure, it would take up a lot of space of the PSP/memory stick but WoW on the PC is a huge success with well over 10million players online and so I'm sure that without a monthly fee or with at least a cheaper monthly fee there could be even more players online and also, it would get Sony millions more PSP sales.We've all seen that the PSP is capable of such a thing so why doesn't it happen?Controls wouldn't be an issue as there is a mini PSP keyboard available. :PPlease reply.Why WoW should be released on the Sony P ...
...That will never happen my friend.Why WoW should be released on the Sony P ...
That's the exact reason why I made this post. :P It could happen but for some reason it wont happen.
Control limitations alone makes sure this can't happen.
WoW has a much more expansive world with few or no loading times (I don't know exactly) and 6gigs is as you said an AWFUL LOT of space. WoW wouldn't be very possible on the PSP without make the game utter crap or soemthing. I think it should just stay on the PC because thats where it belongs. Also, I'm going to assume lag issues would be a huge problem, despite a bunch of different servers.

I never said it was going to or that it was rumour....I just merely suggested it to see what others think.

[/QUOTE] They didn't play WoW on the PSP. They made the PSP act as a controller for WoW while it was playing on their computer and then the image projected on the PSP. The computer was running everything. Another thing. The PSP isn't powerful enough to run WoW. Think of it. WoW lags on a PC which is much more powerful. The only way this idea could be possible is if they made it something like Ragnarok DS. You can only play with a select ammount of players.
1 Install and 1 play UMD would be enough, install 1,2gb of gamedata on your memorystick and play with the Play UMD. The UMD is required for piracy savety and faster loading.

You said: As most of you know, Sony is completely getting rid of the PSP UMD. . Suggesting that it is aready happening when it's. not. Now before this would happen we would need that to be annouced which I think is stupid. (most don't want it ot happen) and even if did Wow would never be able to go on the PSP. If it wouldn't work on an Xbox 360 or PS3 what makes you think the PSP would be even better?
What makes you think WOW wouldn't be hacked to high hell just like every other online game for PSP?Especially considering the fact that it's an online only game, it would probably be ruined by hackers before it was even released.It's a good idea in theory, but you have to take into account all the pathetic little CFW users who only hack to ruin other people's experiences.Sadly, theres quite a few of them these days..
So with the removal of UMD size is irellevant?What about games that are 1+ Gb? How big is your Memeory Stick?
This idea just plain doesn't work. Wow is perfectly find on the computer. Ex: Mapple story was suppose to come out for the DS. Never came out. While that could have been cool it just wasn't meant to happen.
[QUOTE=''Filthybastrd'']Control limitations alone makes sure this can't happen.[/QUOTE]

I agree. WoW is too much to do for a portable handheld. The game will take over almost 5gb's or more with all of its contents.
think about a console version first my friend. a way to connect to pc and mac users from ps3 or xbox360 is much closer than psp2. i want to play that game but i don't like ruining computers with a game that i have to pay for by month.

TESTIFY. Give it a NAME.The makers of WoW know better than to put their code out there on the most-hacked, most-pirated, least-policed system ever produced, not to mention, have you ever actually played WoW? I haven't, but I HAVE seen the controls, and there's no WAY you're gonna make that happen in any sense, with ANY peripherals... a keyboard for the PSP?:lol: (oh my) :lol: (stop, can't breath) :lol:Whatever you're smokin', put it down. We're talking about a portable game system here.
lol i have over 15 keybindings on my WoW rogue, no way the psp will have atleast 15 buttons + movement buttons, thats just plain stupid!!
I could see an RPG of Warcraft but not as an MMO on the PSP.
