ArenaNet Responds To Console Talk on NCSoft Conference Call:
Martin of ArenaNet chimed in over at Guru with the following response:
I think “stay calm, don’t panic” will become my new mantra.
We stated multiple times in public that we have a small team working on a console version, but that we are fully dedicated to make the most kickass game for PC"
Update: Direct quote on Guild Wars 2 beta time frame and the possibility of the console port launching at the same time as the PC version. They will be holding large beta tests in March and April. The results from those two months will determine the next step. And no, it is not probable that the console version will launch at the same time.
This was heavily rumored for a while. The faster paced fighting system seems almost made for play with a controller. As long as the quality on the PC version stays high, I don't have a problem seeing it on console as well.
Considering how long Guild Wars 2 has been in development, will this ever come out? Or is this the reason why the game keeps slipping its release date?
Cool...hopefully MS and sony welcome the GW2 as consoles need more genres other than over abundance of FPS.
Yeah considering that consoles dont have the likes of Skyrim, Batman Arkham City, Fallout, Mass Effect, Kingdoms of Amalur, Forza/Gran Turismo, GTA...
Oh wait they do.
I will agree that they dont have any MMO's which is true. I would welcome a free MMO like GW to invade the consoles, because it just adds that much more to do.
Curious how this is going to work. Is this the first step of console/PC together?

I notice that you just like to argue over anything. Are you trying to take johan's place? If you think the ratio of games on consoles is not high on the FPS genre, then there is no help for you...

I imagine it keeps slipping because they are trying to make it awesome.
And I didnt think it was in development that long. Five years is a lengthy time but not really for a massive open world fantasy. Skyrim was roughly that long, as was Old Republic, etc etc. It is probably taking them longer then they hoped, but Guild Wars was extremely well recieved and had a good reputation, and I doubt they want to ruin that in anyway.

Apparently sarcasm escapes you good sir.

Sadly, my propensity to buy games and never finish them, I'll take both the PC and Xbox versions of GW2. Maybe I can rope one of my kids into playing along with me.
