There have been talks about possibility of console version of Guild Wars 2 for well over a year now. Even if you looked at any footage of the game the game controls hinted at possible console version of the game. From "F" interaction button similar to that in Tera Online (which have full gamepad support as well) for interaction with NPCs and world objects to 10 skills skillbar, or the targeting system where a cntroller's bump button could be used like "Tab" key on the keyboard.
DCUO being a multi-platform game had caused a problem of terrible user interface for the PC version. So far, Guild Wars 2 looks to be pretty good in terms of user interface.
If anything it could be similar as in case of Witcher 2 that comes to consoles as well. Sure, it affected some elements in PC version of the game, even though the PC version was lead platform. The overall quality however remained intact in my opinion. And I expect this to be case of Guild Wars 2. Or at least, I hope
I wonder if they indeed make a console version of the game and if there will be cross-platform play, or each platform will have their own servers.
I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that; Phantasy Star Online! ^_^ Well, it wasn't originally cross-platform compatible - Xbox/DC/GC/PC each had their own servers, mighty popular ones too until Sega went and shut it all down, so now Schthack now runs a global private server for ALL platforms to coexist simultaneously. It's pretty fucking awesome.
That's true. But how many of them are there? Only DCUO comes to mind, it's possible there are more of them, I don't know. But there's not many good PC-only MMO games either. There's always possiblity the game will flop no matter on which platform it will run.
I really liked what I seen from GW2 in the footages from conventions and I liked the first game. It will be a shame if GW2 disappointed me. However I am not too concerned about the latest news about possible console release. I knew about it for quite long already.
I don't really consider PSO a MMO, it's like Guild Wars. Close to it, but not quite.
This is all assuming they go through with it which I doubt, and if they do; Oh well, it was really just a matter of time before this genre went down the shitter more than it already has.
I have honestly no real answer to this, since i kinda disliked GW1, i presumed 2 was going to be just as shit.
But seeing all these vids makes me rethink my tought about it.

45 minute long RvR (aka WvWvW) in Guild Wars 2. This map is massive, good thing they have some people from DaoC working on it. Heard DaoC been freaking epic in terms of PvP
I'd never go for Tera over GW2. Firstly, GW2 is buy to play, no monthly fees, Tera will have monthly fees (which I doubt they'll last long, imo the quality of the game is not really good, I was bored while trying it all the time). And Tera is an Asian game, GW2 is made by Westerners. I just can't get into Asian MMOs.
Agreed. Tera did not impress me at all, I doubt I would buy it even if it had B2P model like GW2 does. So far GW2 looks superior in just about every way I can think of. Hopefuly it will stay that way even after we get to play it ourselves
