Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering if anyone had given any thought on this? The new camera system looks perfect for a controller, and I do remember when the game was originally going to launch they were planning for console play.

Now Xbox can play online with PC’s , and has support for keyboard/mouse if people complain PC users had advantage. Most people play PvE anyway so wouldn’t be too big of an issue.

Would be a lot of work I’m sure but would bring a huge influx of players, especially if the core game would be free on Xbox live. Would also bring a lot of players that don’t have the nicest gaming PC’s that couldn’t plat the game before.

Anet’s didn’t develop the game with such thought I believe.
Unlike Square-Enix and their FF XIV which on DX11 on max settings is smooth in crowded areas and works on PS4.

After 3 years Anet hasn’t yet settled down with MacOS problems, so going into Console hype would be pretty much like showing a middle finger to Apple owners.

100% Agree. I bought GW2 because of the Mac Client Beta release, and grew to love the game. Meanwhile, my client is still a ridiculous Cider wrap. Anet manifestly has no intention of exporting their game on other platforms.

They had intentions of making it for 360/Ps3. They did not because they though it would be difficult to keep up with patches on multiple systems.

Honestly they should just make a Xbox exclusive, so they could play with PC online, and only one console to manage updates on.

They could focus on console before macs, macs aren’t even meant for gaming so there would be a much larger clientele for a consoles. And would run smoother than on a Mac.

Especially that Xbox one has released, if they were thinking of releasing on 360, should run well on the one. Also with eso they have an example to follow..

I do think they will release this on console. I remember playing FFXI on my console and it was pretty fun.
