Guild Wars 2 for the PS4?
Actually there has been a thread or two already. One of those happens to be the result of an interview where they’ve said they won’t be going to consoles. At least for now.

Beat me to it. They have mentioned in multiple interviews (one very recent) that they have no plans to go to a console. They want to focus this as a computer game without the added complications of adapting to a console.
It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
Well, had been searching when I got frustrated and finally posted, but now I’ve finally found a quote from a dev on Gaming Blend.
So..due to restrictions with patches when dealing with Sony and Microsoft, GW2 won’t be coming to consoles.
Bah.
Colin Johanson just had an interview where he said they DID NOT plan on making it to the consoles
this question also got answered on the recent live stream q&a with colin. he straight up said nope, as others have said too much restriction, living story would be practically impossible. Also how in the frick would they even implement the controls onto a controller…that would be painful lol

Well MS also has the fee … given the number of patches ANet probably would have had to pay MS $1million at the point.
Patches is just what they mentioned but the other thing that is likely an issue is the gem store. MS and Sony would probably want gem purchase to be integrated with their MS points/Sony wallet/whatever and get a % of all purchases.

Some people already play with the xbox360 controller so that shouldn’t be a big problem.
What’s odd is with Elder Scrolls, FFXIV, The Division, Destiny, and even possibly EQN coming to the PS4, I’d wonder if they’ve relaxed their policies on things like this, which would make it possible for GW2.
Oh well, pipe dreams atm.
Yes, another victory for the PC master race.
“We have no first-person view because stupid people would lock into it”
“You can’t have more than 10 HS decks because that would confuse people”
“30 fps is more cinematic”

Probably for good reason. I can pretty much guarantee that console users wouldn’t be into Guild Wars 2. I’m a console and a computer user, and I barely play Guild Wars 2 either way, and I definitely wouldn’t be interested in playing it on the console.

It would ruin everything for the PC gamers aswell… Probably kitten up the ports and all that
ArenaNet confirmed that they are not working on GW2 for any next gen console. Watch the latest dev livestream and Colin himself confirms that they are NOT doing this.

The answer is they are keeping their options open. So a definite “not right now…maybe later”
Also, they are having another significant reveal soon, from that video.
Here’s what people thought of GW1 when it first came out: http://tinyurl.com/bntcvyc
“A release is 7 days or less away or has just happened within the last 7 days…
These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”

Good luck on console in WvWvW Zergs. That thing might end up fried.

The significant reveal can be anything really. It doesn’t have to be tied to a console port. It can be a new weapon types, new guild missions, new jumping puzzles, new dynamic events, a video of a work in progress Thaumanova Reactor, etc.

This statement should end the thread.
Geez i hope they don’t. As soon as you involve consoles you have to involve optimizing content design and suitability. That impacts gameplay.
Of course its gonna be on console I don’t see why not. They just don’t wanna reveal it. Image if u were them would u port it to consoles? Look at Diablo 3, I know it’s not made by them but who would of thought it would come to consoles. They’re gonna have to if they want a wider audience.
vvuevv
