Comic Book Guy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 ArenaNet and NCsoft have finally lifted the veil on Guild Wars 2. We know many of you have been waiting with bated breath, and we've got quite the update for you! The official Guild Wars 2 website, which previously housed only a teasing logo, has been updated with the world premiere of the Guild Wars 2 debut trailer. The trailer provides a bit of backstory of the game, told through gorgeous pieces of artwork, and after a bit of teasing, we are finally treated to the first ever gameplay footage of the game. Check it out below!: For more info on Guild Wars 2, including the game's official FAQ, check out the game's official website here. Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted August 20, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted August 20, 2009 Awesome! I don't know if I finished the first one 100%, well MMO's you never really can but you know what I mean. I am interested in this though. Thanks for posting.

Kyang Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It look amazing. But that logo reminds of The Pirate Bay for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing GW2 is free, and I will have a Lifetime membership to Champions, cause otherwise it would get expensive lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigby Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It looks nice, hope it's better than the first one. Little things like even not being able to jump really put me off. Also it really bugs me when people call Guild Wars an mmo because it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Looks very good so far.....I was a big fan of the original GW in the past but eventually grew tired of it due to the lack of things to do outside of PVP (level, finish the game, then either farm for money or help friends), hopefully GW2 goes beyond that and expands on what you can do in the game. Not a huge PvP fan and I feel GW was a bit lacking (after the storyline) in the PvE environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 That trailer looks really impressive. I said to myself I'd not get Guild Wars 2 (I play WoW now after playing Guild Wars a long time ago) but I may just have to change my stance and get this when it comes out.

SMELTN Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I actually think it looks pretty good, and can't wait till we get more information about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I was about to say it's still vaporware half way through the video but then they got to showing actual gameplay. It looks amazing! I started playing the original Guild Wars about a month after it was released and played it for about 2 a half years straight so I'm pretty excited for this. I like the line in the video "It is time for Legends to become real" because until this video that's all this game was pretty much. :laugh: Edited August 20, 2009 by trag3dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S00N3R FR3AK Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Well after hearing about WoWs new x-pac and this in the same week I say GW2 wins. Ah I love mmo annoucements. This looks epic and I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapadlo Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Guild Wars is not free, it just doesn't have monthly subscription. On the trailer, frankly I was hoping for a more graphical Oomf in the second one. From what I gathered it looks like the same slightly reworked engine. This is good, seeing it will remain very light on resources but below my expectations after so much anticipation and build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Am I the only one who thought the trailer was kind of a snore fest? .. :s :shifty: :s I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlain Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I played guild wars for about a month when the first version of the game, i can't remember was it prophecy or something like that came out. I never really got into it, but I did unlock all the main worlds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asim0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Some combat in the trailer would've been nice to see. Not holding my breath on a release date either lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanManIt Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm hoping this comes out sometime soon. I'm afraid its still going to just die out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Noah- Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Looks cool. I hope NCSoft changes GW significantly and tries new things with GW2 instead of following the same GW1 formula. Not that the GW campaigns so far are bad - I love them - but it's getting a bit old. PvPvE sounds sweet. Graphics are somewhat disappointing from the trailer. Why do they think they must keep the requirements the same as Prophecies? Proph came out in '05; they can step it up a bit. Can't wait for some more info.

Mathachew Veteran Posted August 29, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2009 When they started showing the actual gameplay, I initially thought, "This looks just like Guild Wars." As it went on I could see the differences, but it's more polished and some characters looked a bit cartoony, but at the heart of it, it didn't appear to be a newer game that would far exceed the first, but I could be wrong. I really wish I could find someone to buy my GW account though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted someone to buy my original GW account (got a new one on steam), but it is linked to my good email, so don't want them to have that. And the more I see and read, the more I want this game. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharp Daddy Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It looks nice, hope it's better than the first one. Little things like even not being able to jump really put me off. Also it really bugs me when people call Guild Wars an mmo because it isn't. You can jump in this game, swim, interact with the environment and tons more, they have taken away a lot of the limitations of the first game.
