GW2 For console?

Starange story.I was playing Gears Of War online and while chainsawin this one unlucky guy I had a thought.How could GW work on a Xbox 360? After reviewing the layout I rembered that the 360 will have a keyboard coming out for it soon. Of course the GUI will be diffrent and maybe smaller except the letters will be bigger ad the menus will be bigger.
So I figured get the keyboard and controler together.
Heres the layout.
Right and Left Trigger- Used to select a skill.
Right and Left Button- Weapon presets
A Button- Select/Select-Attack (Like double clicking after selecting a target)
B Button- Party Selection/Party Search
X Button-Brings up a 2 map icons one for regular and one for mission map.Just use the X button to select one.
Y Button- Hold down to Bring up Emote Menu/Jump
Left Control Stick-Control caracter/Hold down A to turn it into a mouse
Right Contol Stick-Camera.Click it to turn around your character.
Up,Down,Left,Right-Inventory/Option selection/Enemy selection
Keyboard-Regular GW1 Keyboard Controls
Naturally the interface will be diffrent so when you run up to some one in town you are given friend,trade and pm options.

Is it even possible?

It's just not going to happen. I believe they mentioned in one of the articles they just weren't interested. I hate ports anyway...

I agree but it was a thought that sprung up.
(Marketing idea for A.net)

I'm sure Ncsoft might try something for the 360 later.

All we can do is hope

Hope that the DEV team see this as a stupid idea and dont think about doing it that is. I for one would not be joining.

Console Player wouldn't be able to play with Computer Players, so what would the point be?

Not exactly.You know about the Halo2 and Vista merge?
Halo2 For vista can work with Halo2 on the console over live.
Sounds wierd.

@ Curse You
Yes they can Xbox Live and the playstation online.
Plus with the hard Drives these days in Consoles they can get and store the updates same as we get now.
Maybe get a keyboard for said console would open up a whole new market if you asked me.

Read my quote please....It's WIERD!

Anet has never and will never show signs of a possible console port, it would ruin the game... Besides, Xbox360 will have good RPG's anyways, 360 games should stay 360, and PC games should stay PC, bringing them together would be stupid in most cases. I mean look at Halo for the PC... >_>

So basically turn your console into a computer that can only play games (and surf the internet, for a price)?

I hope GW never goes to console. Ugh.

The basic version of the xbox 360 doesn't have a hard drive.
Also, if ANET keeps the same battle system with the 8 skills to choose from, how are you going to be able to choose which skill to use without taking forever? Especially if you are playing as a monk? using the trigger buttons would classify as the taking forever because you would never know which skill would need to be used at which time. You can make an educated guess but their monk could have condition/hex removal and that would ruin your chain of attacks that you would expect to cast and then improvising would put your team at a disadvantage.
the only way i can see it working is to force people to use a keyboard and then you might as well use your pc instead. also, as i stated before, not all xbox 360s have hard drives so it would have to be on the ps3 which does.

p.s. the reason it will work with halo is because it is a fps. move shoot, move shoot. dont have to choose skills just "pull" the trigger on your gun and keep going.

Where the hell have you been its called FFXI look it up been out a while it's a PC/Playstation MMORPG. wetparks playstations FFXI can do it why can't it be done with GW.

I would love to see GW on 360...but only for the fact that I could sit my lazy ass on the couch and play rather than sit in a office chair...other than that NTY!!!

I believe someone had wondered a similiar thing about 2 weeks ago on whether or not ANet and NCSoft might try to port over GW to a console system.

The other forum thread

Is it do-able? Yes
is it practical? No
Will they probably do it? Probably not

I'm a PC gamer. Forget them console gamers.

GW just isn't console friendly. Period.

because ffxi has a different battle system, walk up to a monster, select attack, hit him, he hits you, repeat, repeat, repeat, until your meeter goes over 100% then you choose a special skill. The battle system is a lot slower, where in gw it is fast paced and you have to to choose from your skill bar.

It would work, but it won't become a reality. Besides, it would spread the player base far too thinly.

Shadowrun is coming out in a while, and that will be the first game ever to allow console and PC gamers to play against each other. Its in the same PC Gamer magaizine as the GW2 annoucnement if you guys care to read about it.
Unfortunately... its a shooter.

Anyway, yeah not going to happen, simply because MS would charge a monthly fee for X-Box live gold membership, which would go against a.net's whole marketing campaign.
