Google it. It was released within the last week that they are going to, eventually, release a console version of gw2
I am eating your canon, and pooping your immersion.

i would say no , the game failed terribly and delievered a poor unfinished game. . it was over hyped by BW employees through the videos they post up on the website and fanboys saying stuff that aint true to drum up even more hype and at the end when the game was released only thing to show for all the hype was a voice over game and thats it. what a disappointment

Ah yea found it, but i fail to see how that will effect the pc version, since mmo / console games have yet to be joined together (except for how eve did it).

I'm not to worried about it....since their main focus is the pc version and they haven't started the testing for it.

If they somehow get the workaround of meshing ps3, and 360, and a pc-mmo game together...then that's something to be excited about.

This game is going to die and I know it. And when the word hype-being-delivered is brought up, GW2's past weekend beta videos come to my mind. Yeah that's right.

They said the game wasn't overly instanced. Umm... other than Guild Wars this is the most instanced game ever.

They bragged about the billions of different customization options, totally obfuscating the fact that, in reality, your options are two genders, each with 4 human bodies with human faces, and different skin colors and hair styles.

They advertised how the consequences of your decisions were going to totally make this better than a SPRPG because there was no save button. Then they waffled and put in light-side / dark-side markers and the ability to escape-out and re-do any conversation if you don't like the outcome.

They said there were "huge open worlds that go on and on..." making it sound like the terrain was open rather than designed like a maze to hand-hold you from quest hub to quest hub.

They said being a "grey" player would be just as viable as being full light or full dark.

They said a lot of things that were either false or deceptive or got changed later.
Oh my...this is...100% right on the marker. Thank you for this post, holy ****.

Whichever source you read this from was extremely high and wrote whatever the hell he or she wanted to write. GW2 being on console is no small news and if it was true all the major websites like IGN, GameTrailers, and GameSpot etc would be all over it(which they are not). Don't believe in everything you read....
