IGN misses GW2 (2009)

In a forward looking 2009 article, IGN completely overlooks anything for Guild Wars 2. They do mention Aion (for some NCSoft representation) and Blizzard's untitled secret MMO though, which might not be coming out until 2010-11.

Sigh.

They missed GW2?

...There's nothing to miss.

The fact that it isn't on their radars at all! It seems like every other known MMO in development was mentioned.

More evidence its vaporware *sigh*

GW 2 isn't a known MMO

Vaporware or not, a release in 2009 was not realistic at any given time.
Beta in 2010, release in 2011 sounds more realistic.

No release at all is possible, but I don't really believe in the DNF-theory.

keep on farmin then i guess

Anet doesn't consider GW1 a MMO. Maybe they don't want GW2 considered an MMO.

That's probably because ANet said they're releasing it in 2010.

It's about as MMO-like as The Agency.

Blizzard's new MMO comes out in 2010-2011.

GW2 isn't coming untill the world.suk lawsuit is settled. ANEt got picked on by bacteria in a suit.

That is more flawed that Drake's Equation.

guild wars 2 is dead. it was a scheme to get us suckers to buy eotn. didn't you hear?

Was that a surprise?

Is that after D3 and SC2?? seems Blizzard have a bit of a blockage upcoming as they done want each taking away customers from the others.

I personally like the nothing being said about GW2 until its almost ready for release. They only need the publicity in the couple of months before across all the mags.

Really? Please show me that quote.

GW2 wassn't mention because of various reasons:

1) Diablo 3 and Blizzard's "unknown MMO" take the cake. Anyone denying this clearly has blind faith in Guild Wars and ANET.
2) Aion is a fairly recent buzz, correct me if I'm wrong, compared to GW2. It looks pretty and flashy.

and this next one is a doozy guys...

3) Anet has released jack SQUAT about GW2 other than some backstory and title logo. Aion has screens and photos, D3 has a huge teaser video, and a "unknown blizzard MMO" is enough teaser as it is. Hell, if the staff of Anet haddn't confirmed GW2 of being real, this could all possibly be some elaborate thrown together history and lore, with a photoshopped title logo!

Anet is getting JUST what they ordered. If they don't market it, no one will care. period. At this rate, a majority of it's fan base has lost hope in GW2, or has at least lost most interest at it, and it certainly hassn't generated buzzworthy news.

Trust me, by the time GW2 comes out, a lot of people who have played GW won't care, and it'll be so completely overshadowed by other games, that it won't generate any new fans.

Please, tell me I'm wrong.

IGN misses GW2 (2009) - reason: GW2 is not a 2009 game period.

Almost no major mmo/gaming sites acknowledge the existance of GW2 as an incoming game. It doesn't exist. Gamers who don't know much of GW1 and who may be dreaming of a game like GW2 have no way to get They copied some short informations and posted back when GW2 was announced, but then no new real info and press releases, so it's almost as it never existed.
