PS5, finally a good mmo on consoles

 

[HRK69]

Holy moly. I've put thousands of hours into Guild Wars 2, so you can imagine how interested I am. Please be good.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Pending Trailer...

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ps5!

Fuck yessssssssssssssssssssss

 

[KyoZz]

THIS IS SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I WAS WAITING FOR THIS GAME FOR YEARS

 

[Sticks]

Is it free tho

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Trogdor1123]

Ok, I'm played 2 for nearly 2k hours (I stopped during dlc) and loved it but am so far behind on the story. Can someone give a YouTube video that's up to date? I'm m not sure how they would do 3 after the dragons?

 

[StoopKidz]

Hype! GW1 and GW2 are GOATed

 

[Mithos]

Niiiiice!
Played a lot of GW2...

 

[Elginer]

No Xbox? I guess Steam it is then

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Sony's PlayStation 5 keeps getting all the games.

Imagine playing this on the ps6 portable

 

[Meicyn]

I am legit shocked. And also day one.

 

[Stafford]

No Xbox? I guess Steam it is then

Incredibly lame. It's not like it's a small studio either and iirc MMO do pretty well on it.

 

[Magusx]

wow insane

 

[dreamstation]

Is it free tho

Hopefully not.

Keen as. Loved the first game, enjoyed the second game but didn't like the changes to how you built you character (no secondary profession for example) but can't deny the world they created was beautiful. Day one.

 

[Bry0]

I'm IN. I'm STILL playing GW2

 

[RoboFu]

Holy shit GW2 launch what barely into the 2000s?

 

[delishcaek]

This is very far off... I can't see this come out before 2029 if the beta starts at the end of next year. Am excited for it, though, even if it's UE5... but I do wonder if it can hook me as hard as GW2 did.

Holy shit GW2 launch what barely into the 2000s?

? GW2 came out in 2012, a couple months after Diablo 3.

Is it free tho

I can see them continuing their current model (you buy the game but no subscription), but with a more aggressive cash shop.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

I'll be there day one. Why not?

 

[March Climber]

I am legit shocked. And also day one.

Same and same.

Is it free tho

Buy to play, probably around 40ish bucks like usual.

 

[Hawkeye2890]

My most wanted from today's show. Probably 2-3 years away but day 1 when it comes.

 

[Durin]

Biggest surprise for me in the show, was never sure if we'd get another new game, much less they'd also release this for PS5. Given the way Guild Wars 1-2 limit abilities, perfectly doable on a gamepad if they overhaul the inventory management.

Run, slide, leap, and bound across Orr with a one-of-a-kind movement system that transfers your momentum between modes of travel, providing a free-form joy of movement through a world alive with adventure.

They might as well double-down on the best aspect of Guild Wars 2 vs other MMOs: traversal. The variety of options and the controls for the various mounts was great, so I'm all in.

 

[StereoVsn]

I never got much into Guild Wars 1 or 2, but always good to see a dev updating the formula (hey Bungie).

 

[cripterion]

That awful kiddie Fortnite design not doing it for me. That was an awful trailer to sell the game.

 

[Lillie]

I'm still finishing GW2's VoE - but it will definitely be completed by 3's release

 

[Novaex]

That awful kiddie Fortnite design not doing it for me. That was an awful trailer to sell the game.

Yeah, I felt the same. I played GW2 for like a year a long time ago and kinda hoped this annoucement would hype me up again to give it another try but this trailer did nothing for me.

 

[Kumomeme]

i always want to try the Guild Wars 2 but there lot to catch up and there rumors of the 3rd game gonna come out. perfect time.

hopefully this wont let us down.

 

[Rambone]

Trailer was buns.

 

[Pop]

Sweet mother of god

 

[SScorpio]

It's a prequel that takes place 1,000 years before the first game. It's Orr which is the original end have of GW2, but it's before it's fall.

Hmmm, that might be interesting.

I wish it was more forward facing but that's no biggie

 

[Trogdor1123]

Is it free tho

You mean monthly or f2p?

 

[NahaNago]

I was not feeling this trailer. The style of the characters is boring.

 

[L*][*N*K]

 

[Sgt.Asher]

If it's a prequel 1000 years in the past I suppose the charr won't be in it. I'll wait for more information but that trailer has me whelmed.

 

[Abysse]

Terrible trailer and awful art direction. It looked like a trailer for Highguard, or some random mobile game ad.

 

[Autistic_Pancake]

Looks weirdly cartoonish. Nonetheless, I feel cautiously optimistic 'cause I've had quite a lot of fun playing GW2.

 

[Witchilich]

PS5, finally a good mmo on consoles

They had FF XIV since PS3 and PS2 had FF XI.

 

[Zannegan]

Combat based around movement and momentum, you say? They're speaking my language.

 

[Sticks]

You mean monthly or f2p?

That's what I want to know

 

[Witchilich]

Is it free tho

Probably B2P like Guild Wars 2

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Very happy about this announcement.

Great to see at least one console being supported from day one, I think that'll help adoption which is so critical in this genre.

I think it looks great for an MMO.

Definitely going to try this.

 

[Shubh_C63]

People really are starved for an MMO and Riot is taking two decades to come up with anything.

Guild Wars 3 probably will be super successful and supported for the next 15 years.

 

[The_Mike]

Mmorpgs shouldn't get sequels, but kept being build upon like wow and FFXIV etc

 

[RafterXL]

It's great that they are finally coming to consoles, but I always thought it was so stupid that a game with this few skills didn't have controller support from the get go, and that they didn't make a port of GW2 years ago.

If it's a prequel 1000 years in the past I suppose the charr won't be in it. I'll wait for more information but that trailer has me whelmed.

Well, that will suck, considering every other non-human race was repugnant and Charr were basically the default option for me.

 

[Meicyn]

Mmorpgs shouldn't get sequels, but kept being build upon like wow and FFXIV etc

Nah. By that logic, Final Fantasy XIV wouldn't even exist given Final Fantasy XI. And frankly, the two games are substantially different to play, catering to different tastes. It's no different with Guild Wars and its sequel.

Guild Wars 3 is going to have action combat. Not every MMO player wants that.

 

[iQuasarLV]

PS5, finally a good mmo on consoles

FFxiv is a bad experience on PS5?

I think the problem is I see it as a MMORPG instead of the same model like Diablo.

I just prefer to continue to play the same game.

I know you can keep playing Guild Wars 2 but still.
