hagayg writes: OO they've actually improved the graphical engine to make the views look even better. that's considering it was one of the best before and could still run smoothly on almost every computer. no way I am missing this one. Thu Aug 20 2009 3:41PM Report

Serazahr writes: No dwarfs......... at least not in the trailer. I hope dwarf are also a playable race, and would be nice if anything from Factions found its way into the game, cause I really enjoyed the story of Factions (minus the afflicted) Thu Aug 20 2009 3:51PM Report

ak282 writes: This game looks awesome. I am hoping that they make one big seamless world like WoW instead of instanced zones like GW1. Thu Aug 20 2009 4:10PM Report

Wookiee6648 writes: So to recap, GW1 was a copy of Linage 1 and 2 and had copied WoW. This time around same thing they copied L1 & 2 WoW, FF, Stargate and AoC. Ha ffs they need to fucking come up with an original idea. Thu Aug 20 2009 5:36PM Report

kevingaily writes: Looks real nice! Aside form TOR, this was the big one I was hoping for. It had been so quiet and I was concerned that GW2 wouldn't come out, but I'm glad I was wrong! Thu Aug 20 2009 6:00PM Report

illyana writes: go back under your bridge wookiee fantastic trailer! everything looks massive. jumping, swimming, day/night cycle. so different from GW1 yet so familiar as well Thu Aug 20 2009 6:00PM Report

isoutsider writes: The five races are Human, Charr, Asura, Norn and a Fifth plant type race. its the one in the trailer that brings the big tree golem to life. Fri Aug 21 2009 2:26AM Report

illyana writes: Anet is not yet ready to *talk* abt actual gameplay (fighting, using skills, crafting), much more show it in this trailer. reason being is that all details of gameplay is not finalized yet. what they have shown are IN-GAME footages. Nothing was pre-rendered. All models, textures, and other assets are actual game play versions. They haven't been prettied up for marketing purposes. Fri Aug 21 2009 5:32AM Report

CujoSWAoA writes: I wonder if you can jump over things yet... like you know, off of a 2-foot drop that you couldn't jump off of in GW1 Fri Aug 21 2009 6:47AM Report

Solude writes: Nods, didn't see any jumping so is this another on rails tactical rts/rpg or a full blown MMO. Fri Aug 21 2009 7:26AM Report

suporgeek writes: Im sure the game will be good. But the old GuildWars trailers were SO good. This one was a let down. Fri Aug 21 2009 8:06AM Report

IceAge writes: Well, there IS jumping. Look at 2:40 back there, on the ships. So stop complaining ! ;) Fri Aug 21 2009 8:19AM Report

ygtata writes: OMFG i was thinking it wont come out... and now it seems better than any other beta tested mmos Fri Aug 21 2009 12:13PM Report

Calintz333 writes: Sadly not impressed. For the wait time we have had to endure I was expecting a lot more. If they try to save money by incorporating these paper CGs instead of voice over 3D animations like GW1 did I won't be buying it. Other than that the game looks solid. Fri Aug 21 2009 12:46PM Report

Aerobi writes: All i can say is, WoW better learn how to deal with cancelled subscriptions. Fri Aug 21 2009 1:49PM Report

Lydon writes: Oh haters get over yourselves. I think the video was brilliant and unique. Why should they pay another company to do a CGI trailer for them when they could use their very own original concept art and create a trailer from that in-house? (as they did) Secondly, the 5 races are - Human, Charr, Asura, Norn and Sylvari. You can't play a Dwarf. Lastly, no, this is not a copy of Aion. ArenaNet designed their own engine for GW1 and did the same for GW2. The original was very efficient, yet extremely beautiful, which is what I expect GW2's engine to be like. Fri Aug 21 2009 7:24PM Report

illyana writes: i juz watched WoW Cataclysm and was totally UNimpressed by it after watching this. CGI is so overrated. this trailer is a salute to the great artists working at ANET, not a way to trim down on expenses. Sat Aug 22 2009 3:22AM Report

Zeal^_^ writes: Why everyone always compares WoW to GW when the two games are so different. GW isn't trying to be WoW in any way, but a different kinda experience in MMO market. Sat Aug 22 2009 7:23AM Report

majinant writes: Omg, i don't knwo what to do now. The wow trailer was crap, but the 20min gameplay fotage for SW:ToR was sweet. Now I will have to try GW2 and TOR to see what I like more. GW2 already has one point though, and that is the fact that it will be F2P! Sat Aug 22 2009 7:54AM Report

TroyDarkswrd writes: It's seem like only last year we were waiting each month for the GW1 Beta weekends and here Finally GW2 is withing site of a release. I hope the wait on Release isn't to much longer. Bioware has their Single player "Dragon Age" coming out in October to help us with the wait for the release of BG2. I have 22 Lvl 20 characters on 3 accounts and more Birthday Minnie's than I can count so lets get BG2 on line already. Sat Aug 22 2009 11:35AM Report

SelfDestructPro writes: Wow ok, looks totally awesome in-game. And looks like it's at least less instanced. Can't be sure at this point if there's no instances, but at least the instances will be bigger if that's the case. Sat Aug 22 2009 3:50PM Report

natuxatu writes: Looks awesome, especially the in game footage... and it looks very unique. The level designs are way more creative than anything in WoW. Very impressive, I can't wait! Sat Aug 22 2009 4:21PM Report

illyana writes: @Zeal... i wasnt comparing GW & WoW gameplays, i was comparing their *trailers*... btw didnt you notice that WoW cataclysm has a similar story with GW2? at least in the trailer. Big ancient dragon comes up from the sea and destroys everything the players are familair with... hmmm... but GW came up with that story 2 years ago Sat Aug 22 2009 11:15PM Report

Adokaum writes: Shame for that fae race or whatever looking all f2p korean emo same for the warrior just not emo. Hopefully this will be as awesome as the 1st. Best thing about this trailer is the music, man Jeremy Soule IS AWESOME Sun Aug 23 2009 9:28AM Report

Soviel writes: Incredible environments, Guild Wars has some of the best artists on the team of any mmorpg. This is the best looking mmorpg I have ever seen, the aesthetics and vastness of the zones are marvelous. They have unique races to choose from too, which is a must for me. I hope the gameplay isn't cookie-cutter. Definitely looking forward to this one. Sun Aug 23 2009 1:16PM Report

Patarr writes: Nerdgasm! I'm a huge GW fan, been there practically since the beginning (just a few months off), and I literally almost cried tears of joy when I watched this video. I've never played a game as good as GW in my eyes, and when I finally heard news of a GW2 info update (via a trailer) I was excited to see that Anet finally put something out to quench the thirst of the dying hardcore fans. and I agree with Soviel, GW does have some of the greatest artists. I wonder how the hell they got involved in video games instead of becoming famous elsewhere. Sun Aug 23 2009 8:36PM Report

majinant writes: Patarr - The founders of ArenaNet were former employees of Blizzard Entertainment who played important roles in developing the highly successful computer games Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Diablo II, and the Battle.net gaming network. I heard that one of the reasons they left blizzard was because they didn't agree with making WoW P2P! Sun Aug 23 2009 8:52PM Report

Raekon writes: I'm beyond happy to finally see some in game footage! To everyone that missed the news months ago there will be jumping, swimming, climbing and maybe even more. Live events happens in the world and our actions will change their outcome forming the world differently every time! Whoever up there in the comments said that GW1 copy anything from WOW then I can only say that you don't have a clue what you are even talking about. WOW = newbies mmo to say the least and a mix of other mmos. GW1 was there before WOW to start with and even both games aren't compareable, wow did indeed formed the honor system and battlegrounds AFTER they saw GW1 HA in the arenas area. Other than that I'm freaking tired to see wow comments allover the place as if it were the mother of all mmos even is a cheap copy of other successfull mmos out there that were YEARS before wow out in the market. GW2 will ROCK and I can't wait for it to come out! GW1 was and still is one of the most unique and original mmos out there EVER and I must know it as developer myself and tester of over 130 mmos in the meantime. The vidoe was great and the game will be even greater! =) Mon Aug 24 2009 10:41AM Report

marceli writes: First impression: it looks better than original. PvP is what kept me playin' every day for two years in GW 1, and that's what I hope to see in GW 2! Without it's gonna be just another MMO. Mon Aug 24 2009 4:12PM Report

Rexion writes: I'm so excited. By the looks of it, I'm feeling I'll pick GW2 > WoW:Cataclysm which seems to revamp the world of Azeroth I used to enjoy with a new look. Meh. I like the new Tyria. It's beautiful looking in this video. :D Mon Aug 24 2009 7:09PM Report

ReKLiS writes: Woot finally. Some information and Footage of GW2. I've been waiting for this a looooonnnggg time. It looks beautiful. I hope they make the hunting areas more persistant then having only 8 players in at a time. Why are there so many people hating on guildwars? Do people not know that the whole concept of wow and gameplay was probibly originally created by the people that made guildwars? Anet were the ones that left blizzard and they had important roles in most of blizzards top games (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo 2). And the reason why we get a good quality game without having to subscribe is because these guys aren't greedy and they know how to stragedize they're marketing campaign. I give it up to Anet and the rest of the dev team. Keep up the good work. Sucks Gale Grey retired though =/ Wed Aug 26 2009 7:00PM Report

shakaama writes: Sorry I don't go for fanboyism. I don't think this trailer appeals to real gamers and normal people. The surreal comic style presentation was simply an art show. It wasn't enticing at all. One of the chief complaints about wow was the whole steampunk magic + technology without it being actual steampunk. I'm gonna have to pass on this. I saw nothing I'd be interested in. Sun Sep 13 2009 8:23PM Report
