    Guild Wars 2 or Planetside 2 - Which first?

    Both games will be released this year. Which one do you think will be released first? They both look like great games. Which one do you think will be more successful?

    I already play an MMO, so i am hinging on Planetside 2 myself. I played the original PS1 as well so that may cloud my decision : )

    GW2.
    Looks like it's more polished than PS2.

    I'd say GW2 without a doubt. Just looks far more along the development line with having massive beta tests and all. We really don't know that much about Planetside 2 yet, except for a few dev videos.

    I'll play both, btw. I believe Planetside 2 will have even more immersive PvP than GW2.

    Anyway, if you don't already see where I'm going with this, allow me to spell it out: the only meaningful MMORPG "endgame" -- i.e., something novel to do after the progression process is over -- is that of the sandbox.

    planetside2, seriously the first was amazing and GW2 is just another boring hotkey MMORPG, they aren't going to run out of those anytime soon.

    How many MMO first person shooters are there compared to generic MMORPG's?

    PS2 isn't just an MMOFPS, from what i heard you can also fly ships and drive tanks.
    in addition to several hundred other things.

    its effectively aiming to be a virtual war with all the fixings.

    Personally looking forward to Planetside more but will be playing them both, I would guess that GW2 will be out first considering Planetside is still in Alpha.
    Her hall is called Eljudnir,
    her dish is Hunger,
    her knife is Famine,
    her slave is Lazy,
    and Slothful is her woman servant.

    GW2 will be released first, simply for the fact that they have pre-order-only closed beta running on some weekends, and press beta for a long time, whereas TB just got the first exclusive set of footage IIRC, or at least doesn't have any big press beta going on yet.

    GW2 will be released first. I'm fairly certainly PS2 is still in Alpha.

    That still means its a MMOFPS....is BF3 not a FPS cos you drive vehicles? no.

    GW2 will come first as they are at least beta testing, PS2 is def still in alpha

    Closing this down as it basically boils down to a game vs. game thread.
