On Guild Wars 2 and the possbility of it reaching consoles |
Ó
Although NCSoft's Guild Wars may not have World of Warcraft like numbers to back it up, the game, it's community, and it's no subscription fee model works. With over 3 million copies sold, two expansions and an upcoming sequel, the game is definitely creating a place for itself in the MMORPG saturated world of PC gaming. The big question now is if NCSoft is willing to move their unique take on MMO gaming, and bring it to the console realm, especially now that Microsoft and Sony are in heavy competition when it comes to providing online experiences to their gamers.
When Ben Miller, a Game Designer at ArenaNet, was interviewed by Eurogamer, and asked if they're considering moving into the console space much in the same way that Square-Enix has with Final Fantasy XI, Miller responded: "We are focused on PCs right now. I think consoles remain an interesting opportunity for Guild Wars in the future, but that's not something we've announced any plans for at this time."
As Ben Miller described their model during the interview, "You buy the game once, you can play it for as long as you want. And the new content we introduce in the future you can choose to buy or not to buy..." some of us here at QJ feel that the said distribution plan would fit perfectly with the way the PlayStation Network or the Xbox Live Marketplace works.
Given that the developers have gone through great lengths in order to differentiate their game from other MMOs out there - by making it have gameplay aspects that are unique to it - and more importantly differentiate themselves from games like World of Warcraft, a move to console space is definitely opportune.

it would probably be best on ps3 system for good reason. it would be easily be able to use the keyboard and mouse. xbox would not have this feature and wii no way. im not into guild wars. even wow could be on ps3 even i don't play that game because its boring to level up. its cheaper to buy pc games for games like these. im pretty sure wow or guild wars doesn't have an ending.
too bad, your *****ty console can take second place to the all mighty PC. And the 360 has keyboard and mouse support when needed so get your facts straight bucko.

hey u *****in prick u dumb ***** suck my ***** aright ...70% of ps3 games arnt online cause developers dont wanna pay for their own service i can go on why the ps3 is the least sold console but in simple words i rathar take a ***** and have more fun then aplay a ps3 with 2 games ..wich is all they got
The PS3 is and will ever be smarter then you and of course you are wrong because on that note of which you said. "70% dont have online capability." well you are wrong. That 70% is online and that other 30% Oblivion. so Good day.
P.S- I got a Xbox360 free because my friend hit it with a nail bar and fried it.. Didn't even hit it that hard either. atleast the 360 controller gave me 50 bucks to help get me another ps3 controller.. oh wait it did ;)
