Thank you for this fantastic Secret World trailer! That´s what I call cross promotion... Perhaps, after all ANet regrets they made another game in a medieval setting and therefore they didn´t show the cow feeding / egg collecting parts and went for gasmasks instead? |

someone posted a youtube comment that the trailer soundtrack ripoffs Dream is Collapsing from Inception http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1_4f17QBlA im inclined to agree
i love the trailer soundtrack but would have been better suited for TSW EQNext press http://EQ3Wire.com EQ2: Freeport server |

Yea terrible trailer IMO, lol it was funny but in a bad way, atleast haters and fans can agree on something...not only that but gives haters more ammunition ha hahaha, lawd. I even thumbs down the video, I mean hell you gotta be honest, even if the company did make one of the best MMOs yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |

"Coke-fuelled excess" is the most succinct description I can think of. Nevertheless, it may actually attract the interest of people who had no prior knowledge of the game or the genre, and I guess that's its intention. |

Didnt like it one bit. What did it have to do with GW2 exactly? Yeah they showed a little of the game at the end but wtf.... Do a top notch cg trailer or dont do one at all!

me i love it, and i will steal the comment that some1 else posted on the video via youtube comment.
This is a great commercial but, as we notice these days, lots of people are too dense to understand anything. The real world situations represent YOU, the real world player, and I'm certain the "Our time is NOW" reference refers to both ARENANET's time to shine, as well as game story & new gameplay style. We've kinda been stuck with THAT? OTHER RPG (it, whose name must not be spoken) without any options or choice, for a while. It's reign is over... NOW is the time for a new fun. GJ, Arenanet. posted by demolisherx2 |

Originally posted by Wickedjelly I lol'ed even more at how many people are here defending the trailer.
Don't get me wrong, I loved V for Vendetta, but GW2 is no V, and the MMORPG genre/WoW is no fascist government for us to rise against. While the idea worked great for the movie, it's too try-hard for a video game trailer, especially when you consider said game is not even all that revolutionary to begin with. It's the equivalent of a Wendy's commercial with anti-establishment undertones dissing the fast food industry for being too stale. I'm sure all the antsy, nihilistic teenagers will flock to the nearest Wendy's to stick it to the man by buying a baconator. That will show those evil big macs! Viva la revolucion!
I didn't think it was that hard to see through their cliched BS, but then here's people defending the trailer and saying we're too dense to get it. I'm telling you, that whole sandbox mentality is a weird thing. |

So I finally watched the trailer with sound after being at work all day. While I didn't care much for the trailer, I still think its miles ahead of the WoW one. I think all of my deleted level 70 WoW toons were turning in their graves.

Most of the beginning was not needed and just..eh.
I could understand the last few parts, but it wasn't all too exitingly awesome. It just made me feel how much of a life I choose to spend in games and I dont like being reminded of it.

Originally posted by latinkuro Then what is your point? Where did say I didn't understand what they were going for? Nice try of backtracking though. Maybe you need some reading comprehension of your own? Let me know if you do. Again your massive assumption that many don't like it because they don't understand it is simply unfounded. Maybe saying it again will allow it to sink in. ...and even if that was true. What in the fuck does that say about the marketing plan for the ad? Oh...well, it isn't going over well for a lot because they simply don't get it. Yeah, I'm sure that is exactly what every ad campaign team strives for. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2.

Hey Devs, just so you know. The more you give us to play with, the more we play. |

LOL Now see I liked it. I understood it. And it resonated with me. I was that poor crusty person at the beginning.
But here is the problem. Its aimed at the mid to late teen WoW crowd, and its way to subtle for them to understand it. They would have been better off showing bouncy big breasted skimpy armored female avatars, sparkly effects and shit blowing up.
Personally I'd prefer this version over one like that. |
