Guild Wars 2

You have no idea, mr. @ShadowDragoonFTW taken name

@ShadowDragonFTW.3418 from my experience and all the websites i visted, and other iinformation commetors, the only fact is that Gw2 not going to make any game 4 other consoles is either theyre lazy, or scared to make a step forward, because if they do, they might lose alot of money, and not wt u all said is the right reason actually, now that i got the idea, i also know why they’d lose alot of money

i wasnt focusing on “wiiU” cuz ps4 is the best graphic card that it has now, and the best ongoing console, so there is still possiblty to play Gw2 on a console you smarty, also the limit of Graphic is 8000k HD now tell me how “impossible” ps4 can run that game, Plus if ykno destiny, It’s just like Gw2 and yes you can choose your skills, guns ~ now think of at it as gw? Swords, Pistol, Rifles, Whatever , Gw2 have to change it style onl in which case u can play with the other style guys on PC You absolutely make no sense to me… now let’s call Destiny an MMO game

Sorry to inform you destiny runs at 30fps on your “next-gen” console.

This is a $400 PC part list.

yes that the other way you just mentioned -.- theres another way, they can wait … u cant?

Who can wait? WiiU players? Yes, they can, but it’s not going to get them anything. Unless the policies of the console game market change significantly, you won’t see Guild Wars on any of them. And even if they did change, the best you could hope for is the cross-platform Guild Wars 3. Because the current game will not be ported at this point – as someone mentioned it already, such possibility must be a part of the game since the very beginning, because adding it later on requires rewriting everything from scratch.

i think your the only one who understood wt i said, making an rpg game for a console, and for that it is possible to fit the Gw2 into any console for less data usage, less GB memory take.

For example Lord of The Rings Bfme is a huge pc game, now it on xbox, please dont tell me it impossible, and i kno if a game want to publish a new one on another software will require renting but will get you more money then rented , it’s like Buy —> Sell + , if your telling me they wont make anymore games just “for me” then theyre just lazy to sleep, that thier only job anyways, tell that to others who mis-understand. but thks to u all for info’s

Pandaman.4758:

There isn’t always “another way”, porting to consoles just doesn’t happen unless the developers announced it will be cross platform before the game is released. Long story short, porting to consoles is basically having to remake the whole game (not just changing settings) due differences in how console hardware and software works from PCs, so the only way you can convince NCSoft/ANet that it’s worth their time and money to make a WiiU version of GW2 is to prove there are hundreds of thousands potential WiiU customers.

Your only real option is to buy/build a PC that meets minimum requirements.

So then…what is your idea? You said it wont work on wiiu because they might lose alot of money, and nore xone nore ps4 for some other reasons, then there must be always another way?

Morsus.5106:

GW2 will probably never come to consoles, and if it does, it sure won’t be the Wii U. I don’t mean to come off rude, but the Wii U isn’t powerful enough to handle GW2, and regular consoles don’t have enough buttons.

I heard that theyre only started with wii and wiiu would be wiiu2 or whatever , then it’ll be even better then ps4

Imagine prime time in WvW.
Eternal Battlegrounds. 3 massive blobs fighting eachother in SM.
A WiiU isnt able to render stuff like that.
WiiU’s graphics are comparable with PS3, xbox360, wich is crap.
A console is a console. There is a reason why people play games on a PC.

nah, WiiU with it new engine, i think you have no idea, and that just the start for nintendo, Wii is number ¹ WiiU² ? ³ ?⁴ yeah they just havent started yet, only making crap games on thier console, Also the problem would be fixed if ur talking about a 20player fight , then why does “call of duty” have a match game containing 16+ player

Im not talking about a 20man fight.
I was talking about 3 blobs.
Thats like over 200 people fighting eachother.
A WiiU cant render that kind of stuff.

And why are you talking about Call Of Duty? xD

Yes wiiu still able to render that much, and Anet can make limitation for only 40player at the same much console version if that wt bothering u, after all Anet looks for money not for peoples fun anyways

No, the WiiU isnt able to render that much.
Dont act like its possible when it isnt.

The WiiU has only 2GB Memory. 1GB is is for the operating system
wich means you have only 1GB left for the game itself.

The minimum system requirements for GuildWars2 is atleast 2GB.
So you missing 1GB already.

And we are not even talking about the rest of it.
The list goes on, trust me.

Its not going to work man.
There will be no GuildWars2 on a console.
Arenanet is not going to fix a special GuildWars2 WiiU edition with keyboard and stuff like you wish.
Get over it man seriously.

wow you look realistic, man dont even tell me ps4 cant render that much, and im not acting, im serious on it

PS4 does good to even run its games in full 1080p.
I just built a PC with specs that are slightly better than what your so called “Next Gen”
consoles are built with and I can say that in a strictly PvE environment it might be “Possible” but even that’s doubtful considering on a dedicated GFX card the 750 GTX that’s been proven to push better frame rates than the PS4 and Xbox One on multi-platform games, still struggles to push more than 30 FPS at 1080p. In a full on blob vs blob fight in WvW it drops to 10 FPS. That’s not something that you can push off as playable on a console game. People wouldn’t buy it, so you’d have to cut down player count by allot.

That’s just considering the performance implications, and not all the other problems that are going to be brought about porting an mmo to a console. In the grand scheme of things, it just isn’t going to happen and that’s probably for the best seeing how there’s not been a single MMO on console that’s had even a decent existence.

I consider Destinty as an MMO game, cuz i think it fairly close to gw2 at the gaming – AT the gaming- such as picking items, and updating event , dungeons , leveling , skills, weopons , armor, inventory, but the extension is that you hav a ghost with u , Now, what was your question again? – altho i was comparing each game, Destiny has higher resulotion ofc

Kentaine.4692:

By raw numbers… Wii U ‘could’ squeak into minimum graphics on GW2 but raw numbers aren’t the entire story when you’re talking about playing games.

The Wii U reserves 1 GB of memory for the OS (a sad fact about a lot of console OS’s) when a PC uses 1-5 % of the 2 GB for its OS (10-50 MB of ram, insignificant to 2000 MB the game says it needs). Already the Wii U OS is reducing the 2 in the Wii U to 1 in reality.

Wii U processor is a 1.24 Ghz tri-core (roughly 3.72 Ghz total), GW2 requires a 2.0 Ghz dual core (roughly 4.0 Ghz total) so the processor isn’t up to snuff to actually handle it either (yes I know that multiple cores don’t actually double the power, there’s usually a little lost between one and the other).

About the only thing in the Wii U that could handle GW2, surprisingly, is its graphics card. 550 Mhz when the required minimum (according to lowest speed I could find on the suggested GeForce 7800) is 400 Mhz.

Saddly, the Wii U is held in a choke hold by its processor and memory. Graphics cards do not make a computer. Even if they’d put a Titan in the Wii U it wouldn’t handle GW2 because of its processor and RAM.

PS.
The 25 GB you’re quoting is the Wii U’s disc space not memory. Completely separate. GW2 (installation) requires 25 GB (yes I know consoles play off the disk not the hard drive but that would only further restrict the games capabilities by forcing such a large amount of information to be read by the Wii U’s DVD drive).

And yes i know wht 25gb was for, i was just mistaken

You and your long story , you aint giving any solution, and you could never understand, Gw2 CAN reduce the resolution and other stuff which is related to render, to make it play-able, such as Blobs can be limited on the console, but on the pc is the same, that could be another problem solve, did u kno that the limit of HD for ps4 is? 8000k for your knowledge, but that just the limit so 7000k-1000k P is good and normal, why ru laughing when theres nothing funny at the subject , the idea is to share ideas not more problems, and yet Gw2 hasnt started anything for the consoles were talking about, they cud lower the specs a bit or maybe they have more ideas then us, so dont think im against them, or YOU

Guild Wars 2 is not coming to Wii U. However rest assured, with the current direction of the game, Guild Wars 3 (if it happens) will be most likely available on 3DS/Wii U 2/PS Vita 2 and other popular consoles, perhaps even playable in web browser – implemented in Facebook.
Who knows.

Are you surre wiiu2 will be coming? And why didnt u say “agreed if it for ps4”? why u think it wont work?

I can’t see it ever happening. Early on they talked about looking into making a console version but it was dropped fairly quickly.

Things like needing a keyboard are the easy problems to solve. (Especially on the WiiU where you could put a virtual keyboard, or even a keypad type set-up on the controllers touch screen.)

Voice chat would be harder because currently GW2 has no built in voice chat, everyone uses 3rd party programs. I don’t know if the WiiU has voice chat which can run at the same time as the games, but if it does you would probably still be restricted to only speaking to other people playing on the WiiU since it’s unlikely to be cross-compatible with Team Speak, Mumble, Vent etc.

The bigger problems are things like the console manufacturers charging developers for every update their game gets and restricting how often, when and what size those updates can be.

And also having to make sure all the updates are compatible with the hardware. That’s not such an issue with single-player games but MMOs can have a lifespan equal to a console, or even longer (Ultima Online for example came out around the same time as the N64 and is still going today) and sooner or later they need the flexibility to upgrade, and to assume their users can upgrade too.

Vol.7601:

and if you didn’t know, you could easily build a computer that runs GW2 at around $400. I certainly hope you are not one of those consumers that buys the ready-made gaming PC’s at 60% mark-up from bestbuy. PC building is easy.

Considering the OP originally put the amount in ‘kd’ and then converted it to dollars I’m guessing they’re not in the States (or Europe). I don’t know what currency kd is short for but I do know that in a lot of the world building a custom PC is very expensive because all the parts have to be imported and a combination of shipping fees and currency conversions drives the price up a lot.

you shud kno by now that theres nothing impossible

I didn’t say it was impossible. I was listing some of the reasons it wouldn’t be worth the time and effort required for Arenanet to do it.

It is worth the time to play a multiplayer game on a TV , Destiny also has updating world, such as events and quest, also the story mode is never offline, the whole game works online and full HD all the time, If Anet were to make a game on ps4-WiiU , They’ll win alot of money especially when it comes to PS4, again you yurself said it never impossible, Hey Destiny got PvP’s too! , then NCSoft will start making new gen games for consoles, every problem solve ~ is another reveal ;D

I’m sorry, but the Wii U? Of all the consoles on the market, that is the one you would like GW2 on… I’m trying to be the least rude as possible here, but I did chuckle a little.

Anyhow, Vol is certainly right. ANY console version of GW2 would cause problems, we see this going on with many other mmos right now. Certification, console limitations. The entire engine would need reworked. As a longtime FFXI player, I still shudder at the phrase “PS2 Limitations”.

wt? WiiU is way Better then ps3 and Xbox360 kid, ps2 has nothing to do with wiiu lol,
Look at it more clearly and put your rudness aside and re-read my sentence, i said it could be applied in ps4 u smarty

Vol.7601:

lol this will never be happening.

1.) Wii sucks and will never run GW2
2.) Certification of patches would delay content releases
3.) Spending immense resources on coding for Wii when the potential playerbase is small

And there are half a dozen more reasons why.

and if you didn’t know, you could easily build a computer that runs GW2 at around $400. I certainly hope you are not one of those consumers that buys the ready-made gaming PC’s at 60% mark-up from bestbuy. PC building is easy.

When did we talk about wii now? , and wiiu also updates like every 3-5days on miiverse , plus if theres an update , then all u hv to do is insert the disc, it’ll ask u for update, press Yes , continue… Like ps4 i kno some games on ps3-4 does that too anyways, what ru talking about?

and if you didn’t know, you could easily build a computer that runs GW2 at around $400. I certainly hope you are not one of those consumers that buys the ready-made gaming PC’s at 60% mark-up from bestbuy. PC building is easy.

Considering the OP originally put the amount in ‘kd’ and then converted it to dollars I’m guessing they’re not in the States (or Europe). I don’t know what currency kd is short for but I do know that in a lot of the world building a custom PC is very expensive because all the parts have to be imported and a combination of shipping fees and currency conversions drives the price up a lot.

I can’t see it ever happening. Early on they talked about looking into making a console version but it was dropped fairly quickly.

Things like needing a keyboard are the easy problems to solve. (Especially on the WiiU where you could put a virtual keyboard, or even a keypad type set-up on the controllers touch screen.)

Voice chat would be harder because currently GW2 has no built in voice chat, everyone uses 3rd party programs. I don’t know if the WiiU has voice chat which can run at the same time as the games, but if it does you would probably still be restricted to only speaking to other people playing on the WiiU since it’s unlikely to be cross-compatible with Team Speak, Mumble, Vent etc.

The bigger problems are things like the console manufacturers charging developers for every update their game gets and restricting how often, when and what size those updates can be.

And also having to make sure all the updates are compatible with the hardware.

you shud kno by now that theres nothing impossible

i wasnt focusing on “wiiU” cuz ps4 is the best graphic card that it has now, and the best ongoing console, so there is still possiblty to play Gw2 on a console you smarty, also the limit of Graphic is 8000k HD now tell me how “impossible” ps4 can run that game, Plus if ykno destiny, It’s just like Gw2 and yes you can choose your skills, guns ~ now think of at it as gw? Swords, Pistol, Rifles, Whatever , Gw2 have to change it style onl in which case u can play with the other style guys on PC You absolutely make no sense to me… now let’s call Destiny an MMO game

I know alot was talking about it, and some agreed, others didn’t , but i’d like to play Gw2 on wiiu rathar then buy a new pc/laptop for 400kd which is 1.300.000$ dollar (probably) and i bought the wiiu for 330$ dollar , also , if the game has cutscenes and stuff, i’d like to see it on TV Big screen…

also the idea of destiny game is simlar to Gw2 i like the free and big world style, most of you do.
some said theres a problems if Gw2 Want to do it in wiiu, well they can add a new accesory which is keyboard like ps4 (or play it on ps4 , then u dont need to put it on wiiu at all!!) also i played alot of games, and comparing to pc and a gamepad is easier, WiiU has new engine for graphic now, fairly close to ps4 (which is why watchdogs is coming for wiiu)

Also alot of families wud buy for thier children that game since it has a good stories, and harmless (unless if u want ur kid play 24h) but from my look if the game is coming out i will but it for 50$ without problem, since i hv no laptop aswell.

the voice chat problem would be only with a touch of finger “on” “off” button, as for the keyboard, people will be used to it on the touchscreen, Dont u write everday?
(personally i am, cause i also use my Sony, or u use yur iPhone, or whatever, and some people i kno already write 5 sentence in 4sec…)

Now please if theres still any problem put your idea, or solve it, your still free people, it just a discussion , atleast to help those who have no Pc? xd

and kids usaully make friends anyways..so..

If you think about it again, I’d like to play gw2 in my room, close the door, close the light, like watching a film, it’ll be amazing time !! (Also i’d like to mention that voicechat isnt a problem, if they gonna add a small ’’on’’ ‘’off’ button to activate the mic in the gamepad)~
