The four and a half years of developing (Age of Conan) on the PC means their work has been crafted around a mouse and keyboard.

While (Age of Conan)'s combat incorporates real-time combos not unlike (God of War), the interface powering (Age of Conan) was built for a PC gamer. As such, the interface won't necessarily transfer 1:1 onto a control pad, thus requiring a complete interface revamp. When asked if a PC user could hook up an Xbox 360 controller to their PC and play (Age of Conan,) Tharaldsen shook his head.

Still, Tharaldsen maintains (Age of Conan) will end up on Xbox 360. Is it coming in 2008? Probably not. Have they made substantial progress on the console interface? Not yet. Does the recent confirmed cancellation of (Marvel Universe Online) worry us? A little. But, Funcom remains confident, and you know what? At least they're taking their time.
