I was surfing on gamesport (i know dont say it) and saw that NCsoft has some kind of deal with sony regarding the PS3 and same mmo games and apparantly there is like 6 being made for it. One of which has been confirmed to have no monthly fee for sure, to me this sounds like guild wars very likely. SOme poeple were saying that it was confirmed but i havnt found anything credible to that effect. If so I am damn freaking happy as then i wont have to buy a new PC and can just use my PS3 instead.

There's no way. If they ever developed for consoles, then it would be announced much in advance of release and they wouldn't bother with PS3.

they COULD develop console games but ithink they would be more single player geared, but the ps3 would be the best choice for a consule other then the wii

I wouldnt say that, while i think the PS3 is better as well the 13 million xbotters over the 8 millions PS3 fans would be a good place for an installed base to start although i dont think it would catch on with Xbotters

You use those with a computer anyway, so why waste using a PS3 to play?

Cause then you dont need to use a computer lol, would be cheaper if you actually had the PS3 already and what not. PLus console games sell more than PC ones so I wouldnt doubt we see it

Actually i'll always pick the console version of a game over the PC version... Its guaranteed to work as the console spec is always the same

I dont know about that, depends on the game type imho. for a rpg console for sure but a FPS the only thing that competes with the PC is the Wii for FPS controls (ala MP3, best fps controls ever)

Well they already have stated that they will be... and the PS3 isnt junk at all. All 3 of the new consoles are great this time. PS3 just needed time to get into its stride

They both NCSoft and Sony haven't done anything yet and there is no way you could play GW on a console.GW will always be a PC game only.

Always is a long time plus its not like you cant use keyaboards and mice on a PS3 either, i think its very possible. Might be a little different but i would not be shocked by it

You do realize the cost associated with making 2 differnent types of games cause that is what they need to do.I don't think Anet has the staff or designers to put together a console game not to mention it needs a HDD.The datbak file alone won't fit in sony play station.Then there is all the ram that you will need and GW needs a lot.

I don't think I'd want GW on the PS3, but a GW spinoff with better graphics might be nice.

The free one is probably Exteel.

The PS3 has a harddrive, every unit does. Also if they can do assassins creed a GW game would be rather easy. Im not about the resouces either cause i doubt they have them as well. That being said it would be nice to see more GW out there. IM not saying it is happening just that its a possibility.

PS3 comes with a HDD, and has, if necisary a blu ray player, so i am pretty sure they could put a copy of guild wars (my current install. with all games/eotn/BMP is 3.4GB, would fit on a DVD) onto a 25/50gb blu ray disk

Ok.They come with HDD they still won't make it remember we are talking about Anet here not NCsoft.There is no way you can port this over to console if you want to go and read every bit of news we reported on about Star Trek Legacey being ported over from console to PC which turned into a disaster and also put a black mark on Bethesda Softworks.

since it has been said so many times you must have severe reading comprehension.

YES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT NCSOFT AS THEY OWN ANET, PAY THEIR EXPENCES, AND WRITE THEM THEIR PAYCHECKS.

ANET IS NOT AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY

CLEAR FINALLY???

Since forever, it came of beta awhile back and now anyone can play. Theres an optional payment option to buy "Ncoins" which you can use to buy ingame armour/weapons that you otherwise couldn't.

Why not? PS3 has a large number of players and is cheaper than a computer of equal processing power. Blu-ray would mean better everything for the game.

Oh, and to all who say "PS3 = fail" or "xbox 360 = fail"... its just cause you don't have one. This isn't a console forum, so quit with all the regular aweful grammer and bias.
