Speaking with Wired at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, NCSoft's new president Chris Chung said that his company should have "something to announce--not only announce but to show--by the second half of this year. I'm pretty psyched about that."
The easy solution would be to simply port NCSoft's existing library of games like City of Heroes/Villains, Guild Wars, and Tabula Rasa to the PS3, but according to Chung, "that's the wrong way to do it. You have to create a gameplay that's really suitable for the console space, the console experience. I mean, it's very different from PC."
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
"The widely beloved and critically acclaimed MMORPG Guild Wars®, played for over 1 billion hours by over nine million players, is receiving a huge update to its player experience and user interface as developer ArenaNet® and co-dev partner studio 2weeks bring controller support and updated visual fidelity to the game while simultaneously consolidating all of its expansions for the new price of $19.99.
Beginning December 3, Guild Wars Reforged will launch on Steam and Windows PC." - ArenaNet.
I played the first beta of GW1 way back in May 2004, still playing it sometimes today, now I'm mostly in GW2. I will definitely go back in GW on Dec. 3 to see the improvements 😎
Put it on console and I’ll play it again. I’d didn’t do much of the endgame stuff it any at all (it’s been so long I don’t remember what I did besides level up) Since it has controller support it would be perfect for console
That sounds like a good idea imo, but I don't know if the devs have such plans. Maybe if this one turns out really well for PC, they might go down that road.
no fucking way. I really hope that they give "new" servers, so not every new player starts playing when the veterans literally have endless piles of gold (platinum in this case) and honestly as a veteran I want a reset as well. I can't believe this is actually happening. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee be good. Christmas comes early this year
I don't recall that the devs have said anything about the matter as of yet, but we shall soon find out since the drop shall be done this December 3rd.
Yeah looked around a bit and there is no reset or alternative sadly. I'm still super excited though also because they said that they will continue with some kind of updates (it's probably not content updates). Was planning to play some again in february but that will become december
I loved GuildWars.. back in the the day I would play this countless hours.. I was young and didn’t want to pay for a subscription like WoW.. My friends were stuck playing RuneScape and I thought this was next level content.
I play most my games on console now.. so I kind of wished they could bring GW2 to it. I haven’t played that game in years either.
After 20 years of ongoing service, the original Guild Wars still makes good on a promise it made that no other MMORPG has been able to truly mimic.
Been there since day 1, and the first beta, same with GW2. 20 years and they never said oh now we need to charge a monthly fee, and they only made Guild Wars no other games. I'm going to assume GW3 will have the same business model.
I got to 50 I believe but never got into it very much.It was fun but all of my friends were still playing EQ. Good to see it’s still going though.
I hope its City of Heroes/Villains
great cnt wait to see it
did we think they were gonna wait till 2009?
They better put out a game for PS3 this year.
Because that game looks awesome.
now you see why sony is smart teamed up with nc soft and m$ has no mmo
