At the start i was thinking WTF, then they started building up the theme and message which was great until the transition to the game part where the message just seemed to die with a whimper rather than a bang which was a shame. I would hope that people would look past this and look into the game itself before making a decision but i don't see the video doing much for promoting the game sadly.
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays. |

They shouldn't make TSW trailers for GW2... after all, we know how that game's doing.
no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Its embarrassing when video games try to sell themselves as important. This ad reeks of self importance. Awful. Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

You don't think there was a subtle message abotu TSW being one of the something to leave behind and rise up against do you? Maybe the visual comparisons are coincidental...

It's like someone was hired who was working on a TSW trailer and he's like "I gots a short cut guys!" and they went with it.... Seriously if they just showed the logo and went "buy this ___ now!" it would have sat better with me. |

Sadly, this is very true. The trailer looks like it was made by someone who has no idea about what "fantasy" means. Maby it was made for people that hate fantasy MMOs, or have no interest in them, but... why?? Nobody makes trailers for Lord of the Rings with Aragorn and Gandalf driving in a car and eating in McDonalds... |

They need to fire the guy who came up with that. And then they need to fire the guy who ok'd it. WTF was that?
Hey Anet! Start off with the Heroes coming out of the water and go from there. That would have been way more epic, IMO. Show off the best of your game. The amazing look of it. That's what will draw people in initially. Then the other amazing part of your game, the gameplay itself, will keep them there.
As someone who has no idea how to be a marketing director, I'm pretty sure my idea beats that crap any day of the week. I hope you're relying mostly on word of mouth for sales because that trailer ain't gonna do it.
You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for??? Be afraid.....The dragons are HERE! |

They should have emphasized the action feel of GW2, since you'll be fighting most of the time, not walking on coals or going swimming or whatever it was these amazingly toned and attractive people were doing in this trailer... One of my fave in-game-graphics-fueled trailers was this one for Borderlands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdBFWti6mkg It showed the graphics, presented it at interesting angles, had a good soundtrack, and the text told people about the game. This GW2 one doesn't do much of those things.. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Did they give them a $500 budget to shoot the trailer?

1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Anyway, it's not that we're too stupid to figure out what they were trying to do. It's just that it was lame and most of us recognize that as such. Besides, linking the fantasy and real world just doesn't work in a case like this. It would have worked beautifully in a trailer for TSW, but not GW2. However, it could have worked if they had used live actors put into the GW2 fantasy setting if they were trying to go the "imagine this is you" feel, which is what I think they were trying to do.
GW2 has nothing to do with modern real life, and definitely not firewalking (is there a mini game I'm missing???). So to try to mesh the two just doesn't work.
