Space Siege console port is 'definitely' being considered

After our brief hands-on time with the game at CES, we're anxiously awaiting the September release of Gas Powered Games' Space Siege, the interstellar reimagining of Dungeon Siege (the classic RPG series, not the latest box office turd from team Boll/Statham). However, it's a little known fact that four out of every five Joystiq writers don't own computers -- many of our posts are actually published with an intricate system of smoke signals, morse code, and carrier pigeons.
Luckily, we, along with the rest of the WASDaphobic world, might not miss out Space Siege -- According to videogaming247, the game's associate producer recently explained that "a console version is something that's being considered right now." While he mentioned that a port of the game is not officially confirmed, the very thought of getting our PC-fearing hands on the spiritual successor to one of our favorite RPG franchises is enough to inspire visions of zero-G Krug dancing through our heads.

This would be cool for both the 360 and PS3.

Mass effect rip off?

this "definitely" looks, potentially, cool...

Hmmm ... "definitely being considered". What does that mean? I'll try to use it in a sentence.
- Are you going with that hot chick, Samantha?
- Why, yes, its definitely being considered!
Ok, now I see.

"It's a little known fact that four out of every five Joystiq writers don't own computers"
Nah, that's actually a pretty well known fact, considering how much bias and ignorance you guys show in terms of PC gaming.

Yes because all pc games use a "joystiq"
Grimmus @ Feb 2nd 2008 2:40PM
True story.
Also pretty unsurprising there would be at least one idiot to use the "Joystiq" thing as a stupid excuse.

"the classic RPG series, not the latest box office turd from team Boll/Statham"
that actually made me laught out loud. i think it's just the word "turd" that gets me laughing lol.
anyway, looks to be an interesting game. i would love to try it out on consoles since my PC is decent for everyday stuff but my graphics card sucks ass.

As long as they don't oblivionize the game and release the PC version with a shotty interface + controls, that's fine by me. I doubt it will, as we're talking about GPG here, Sega's just the publisher. I'm looking forward to this, but it's going to be a long wait until next fall, plenty to do in the meantime, like going outside and spending time with the wife...

All I know is that the BG Dark Alliance games and Champions of Norrath were hot sex, and were far too short. So the more of these games we get the better.

"Dungeon Siege (the classic RPG series"
All I know is that Dungeon Siege was far from a "classic rpg" and that it was more along the lines of very crap.
Even if you're talking about age it isn't quite old enough yet to be called a classic.

wot he said.
Never heard anyone call dungeon seige a classic before... in any form.

Why this site even bothers with PC games is beyond me. The blog is primarily geared toward console gamers and the majority of gamers who visit this site could care less about the PC. PC gamers who want news without the console slant would visit another site, such as Blues news.
Ihavepants @ Feb 5th 2008 12:18AM
I'm a PC gamer and I constantly visit this site, and do not complain. What is up your ass?
Only thing wrong with this post is that the game in question will be rather shite.
