Smithy93 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Why do I not believe that? Probably because Java hasn't been ported to consoles yet? ;) Jagex had spoken of rewriting the game engine to be compatible with modern consoles (which they said was not very hard). Although yes, I haven't heard of any updated to this project for a long time so I'm guessing they have either hidden it or more likely stopped. i woulnt mind it but it would be really annoying to type. :ohnoes: It would. Plug your keyboard into your game consoles USB port. i dont have one :( You...don't have a keyboard? I don't know what you just used to type that then. http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite ... r=Smithy93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Stingman Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hmm if they ever did this they would probably need to either get more servers or make it so current ones could handle more than 2000 people, because they would get a HUGE influx of players. I wouldn't really care though because it would totally be worth the pure awesomeness of 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Q) John Snake - Is there any way to play RuneScape on the ps3, or are there any plans to make a version for that and other systems that would allow you to connect to and play RuneScape on ps3 or other game systems? A) We are currently looking at consoles, exactly which ones IS unfortunately a secret QF13,14,613,58401007 Mechscape World (the original MechScape fansite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imamonkey Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If it is only one console, it has to be the Sony PS3. Any other choice if it were just one would be stupid. PS3 would have to be the first choice, thats just good common sense if you know about the hardware in the different consoles. Edit: If they were to make if for only XBox, I would quit the game period. Not because of being a fanboy of Sony, but because I detest Microsoft and I wont support any product or company in cahoots with them. And that is not why I say it should be on the PS3 either. Simply put, the PS3 is the more capable, powerful console. Regardless of which one you prefer, for games or what ever reason, that is the facts.

Big_Stingman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So your 21.5 inch monitor has 1080 vertical lines of resolution and 1920 horizontal? And I meant that it would be awesome to play it in 1080p on a huge HDTV, not a measly 21.5 inch widescreen computer lcd monitor. If you had read my precious post you woulda known that.

Fools_Taco Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Comon guys im sure they dident write a whole new OS to run on these consoles. Im willing to bet they are all running a modified pre eixisting OS they yanked from somewhere. And what modern OS does NOT have a web browser that can run Java. You can play RS on any console that can access the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imamonkey Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 PS3 browser has Adobe flash now, Java may be next? Besides, unless I am wrong here. sure the Xbox 360 has twice as much memory! But wait, doesn't the PS3 have twenty five times as much video memory!? PS3 has better processor. Sure we could go on, I think the video memory issue alone may be the big clue. But then again with consoles they may be able to make it work with a lot less video memory? Or is video memory not so much as important as system memory for RuneScape? Don't get me to lying. Regardless, PS3 would have to be the first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, PS3 would have to be the first choice. PS3 could easily handle it if they ported it to it. If Sony released Java for the PS3 I bet it could still handle it, but it would probably work better if Jagex worked with console creators like Sony to port it...

Imamonkey Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Im not real hip on programming and all that. About the most I do is a little bash scripting which yes I know, it is not programming. But I don't think it is really so much porting as much as just getting a JVM that would run on the PS3. But what do I know? In all reality I suppose you could already play RuneScape on the PS3. Not sure how well, but that really wouldn't be playing it as a console game being as it would be done by running it through a Linux OS installed on the PS3. Not really the same thing. I don't have a PS3, so I don't know how that would work. But if they had a JVM in the firmware somehow, then wouldn't it really just be a matter of downloading to the drive the files you need to run locally on the machine and then just running it natively on the PS3, or maybe it is gonna be a whole big makeover somehow? Would you go and buy it just like any other game initially on a disc at the store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownRemoval Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If it is only one console, it has to be the Sony PS3. Any other choice if it were just one would be stupid. PS3 would have to be the first choice, thats just good common sense if you know about the hardware in the different consoles. Edit: If they were to make if for only XBox, I would quit the game period. Not because of being a fanboy of Sony, but because I detest Microsoft and I wont support any product or company in cahoots with them. And that is not why I say it should be on the PS3 either. Simply put, the PS3 is the more capable, powerful console. Regardless of which one you prefer, for games or what ever reason, that is the facts. You depsise anything in joint with Microsoft due to who they sponsor or are linked with? Nascar, Apache... and you also won't support their help in bringing in foreign children to America to have a better life? OK. Also remember the game is RuneScape, not something resembling Crysis. The PlayStations hardware capabilities won't be used. Jagex would try to market to the larger range of players. Units Sold (Wikipedia): PlayStation 3: 21.3 million (as of December 31, 2008) Xbox 360: 27.93 million (as of January 14, 2009) Wii: 44.96 million (as of December 31, 2008) Think about it.

Imamonkey Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I am not here to debate MS. Playstation is the better choice capabilities wise and it is not twice as much. It is one hundred dollars more. If we wanted to debate MS I could tell you tons of things that are wrong with the MS camp. And yes, I would quit playing RuneScape altogether if they only made it availiable on the Xbox platform. This is about RS on console, not to debate the merits of the MS camp.

Sy_Accursed Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 IMO: Hardware wise PS3 makes the most sense Live access speeds and systems Xbox makes the most sense Control wise Wii makes the most sense From a commercial viewpoint Wii is most logical due to being vastly more popular and widely sold than the other 2 From a coding view point Xbox would no doubt be easiest as it bears similarity to Windows in more functions than others and therefore porting over would be less complex I could go on, but each major console has its strong points and weak points in terms of housing RS in a console form. Basically its anyones game.
