Guild Wars 2

I would love to play GW2 on Xbox, I would purchase another copy. Is this going to happen in the future?

I would highly doubt it. It’s been 3 years now, and we’re just “now” seeing an expansion on the PC.

It might be my own theory here, but, I’d say ArenaNet is in no position financial wise to start producing Guild Wars 2 on consoles.

That, or ArenaNet has given up on Guild Wars 2, and have already begun work on another project (game).

However, I get the feeling their “Gem Shop”, isn’t doing as well as they had planned, and they probably had wished they went with a subscription model.

Again this is just my speculation. Guild Wars 1 had expansion, after expansion, after expansion. So, it raises the question; why are we not seeing as many for Guild Wars 2? Surely, they don’t think what content they have now is “enough”.

They definitely would not bring it on consoles. The mechanics of the game just seem too complex for consoles to handle. And I do believe anet has enough funds to expand the game, and I believe the reason they’re just starting to expand it now is because they’re figurng out exactly what we want and how to implement it into the game.

hahaha ya I don’t think this will ever happen

How do you keybind 1,2,3,4,5, healing skill, 3utilitys, elite skill, zoom in out, loot, watch your surroundings, target enemy, looking to map, switch weapon, open inventory, chat from guild chat to team chat while fighting massive blobs, autorun while refreshing foodbuffs and the list goes on and on. And we are talking only about controls. Not even about the graphical limitations of a console. Not going to happen mate.

If they want to release it on console they would have to modify it alot to play well on a console. It wouldn’t be the same game as GW2 on PC.
I would play it though, I think it would be better on console.

Better on console? In wich way?

The game has been out for 2.5 years when they announced the expansion, factor in that when they announced the expansion they already have many things done for it so that is few months of work, the China release alone is like making a new game and that took lots of recourses to make possible, don’t forget about all the living world updates we were getting every 2 weeks ( the 2 week releases are kind of like mini expansions if you think about it), so yeah with everything that has happened so far with the game, I honestly cannot see how we could have had a paid expansion any time sooner (but that’s just me)

back to topic: when the game was in beta lots players asked about console and IIRC one dev said they wont role it out, but its not something they are working on or will work on anytime soon, so basically in real life terms: No, never gonna happen. even the Mac client is still in beta since forever. so that should give you an idea about how console will go

There you go.
Unfortunately it’s only on PS.
But you can put it on a Xbox as well.
