Re: Will there ever be a GW3?
@PerniciousPea I want to hold hope but its probably not gonna happen for a fair amount of reasons.
1. Popcap vancouver disbanded into motive vancouver and half the devs left including the creative leads. If we did get a new game it most likely will be by a new team.
2. Bfn flopped, even at its arguable peak the gw games were much more popular and still have more players and new players in lobbies too this day. Looking up multiple sources and bfn massively underperformed compared to them (alongside being the lowest rated pvz game on consoles) and imo it makes sense. Bfn has a lot of evidnence that it was made in under a year after they replaced its original concept of a pve adventure game into poor man's overwatch and lets be real the game still plays like *$%! with terrible balancing and map design. It's a horrible shooter and a bad game in general. To think both games are made by the same people is insane.
3. Bfn killed a ton of people's interest in the series and a lot of them left outright in frustration and I can't say I blame them. I hate sounding like a broken record but they really should've kept updating gw2 as it has a lot more interest put in it and they could've simply added back in gw1 maps with solo play matches for content (a lot of gw1 resources are in the game).
Pvz 3 looks like it's making a turnaround but its made by an entirely different team in Seattle so it likely won't bring back the franchise because it has its own problems.
Unless EA/popcap directly says somethibg I think this is the end. Well it was fun while it lasted.
