everything was fine, until you see the asura, char and sylvari. those races just look downright ridiculous. the tone of that entire video doesnt even come close to matching the visuals of the races or landscapes. the video should have just ended here> 1:38 then with a roar of zhaitan/ any elder dragon. this ad tho does? work in one way. the latter part of the ad matches the fight and slaying of zhaitan. Downright underwhelming. 4/10

Like it or not, ask yourselves one honest question.
You're at home, the TV is on and this starts playing. You have no idea what it is. Do you watch it? |

Yeah, I think the thing is Anet are the complete opposite of SWTOR EA-Bioware. They are specialists in MMOs, after years of GW, and they are really good when it comes to game design and gaming ideas etc... But they are a smaller company, with much less money for the extra stuff like ads than the other Behemoths. It's like the voices: it seems like they had too little money and got a bunch of second rate people. So yeah, let's just hope this "trailer" does nothing against GW2, and just attracts attention... because it's not what I have seen best. At all. God damnit! The Manifesto is SOOOO much better than this. Why did they do something like that? |

Personally I would because though I normally tune commercials out the quality of production is good and it's really strange. I'd have a kind of twisted, scrunched up look on my face, "What the..". Dear developers, In my humble and inexperienced opinion if I can get through all the content you spent the last 5+ years working on within 6 months you have not done your work justice. Please give me, and everyone else, some tools to create our own content from what you have made so I can stay in your world and appreciate it longer than three weeks before I say "meh". It's a shame and I'd rather not do that to something you put so much of yourself in to. |

ps: just seen the new MoP ads... yeah. I love GW2, and I am having a complete blast palying this game, but in my opinion it just blatantly lost the ad wars. And it's true the manifesto wouldn't be good for a TV ad, but showing the game designers again, with images of the game behind them, is just the spirit which got me confident in Anet: the devs are in the front line making this game and they have great ideas. I think they should have advertised on that. Then again, I'm not a communication bigwig, so maybe they know what they are doing... |

That was AWSOME! I like the blend they did. People getting to overly critical about shit these days. As a few said that video was NOT for players, it was for TV and to get people intrested in GW2. actually reminded me of an old school everquest trailer.

It's weird enough to catch attention and looks pretty. Of course, it has little to do with the game itself and I didn't like it, but maybe it's good for marketing purposes. At least it won't stop anyone from buying the game and may encourage some people to look it up.

It sorta breaks the feels and style of Guild Wars 2. It's well done but doesn't give GW2 any justice.

Tattoo being drawn on the model's face when she came out of the water was cool - I instantly recognized "OK she's a norn!" but beyond that... the transition from RL to game graphics wasn't good. Very underwhelming.

I can't watch the video ATM...but it seriously sounds like one of those NES or Sega commercials from the 90's lol.
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Ppl join together...means u join together ingame to fight the evil it shows the connection between fantasy and real world

Originally posted by rastapastor Bioware said the Mass Effect 3 ending(s) were "art" and people just didn't understand their vision.... Nice cover up when it's really just not very good. You want to see REAL art for a game trailer? MMO History: |
