GW2 Video Update
In the just released GW2 video update, along with some spectacular video of in-game action there are some great comments from game designers, artists and even Mike O'Brien, founder and president of ArenaNet.
"If you love MMO's you'll want to check out Guild Wars 2... and if you hate MMO's you'll REALLY want to check out Guild Wars 2".
Daniel Dociu, art director, talks about the attention to detail that's been put into the visual parts of the game...
"We treat our environments as if they are characters themselves".
One of my favourite quotes from lead content designer Colin Johanson was...
"We just don't want players to grind in Guild Wars 2... we want to change the way that people view combat".
"When you look at the art in Guild Wars 2 you'll say... Wow, that's visually stunning I've never seen anything like that before... When you play the combat in GW2 you'll say... Wow, that's incredible I've never seen anything like that" gushes Colin.
Ree Soesbee, game designer was equally passionate...
"We do not want to build the same MMO everyone else is building".
"In Guild Wars 2 it's YOUR world, it's YOUR story, you affect things around you. A single decision made by a player cascades out in a chain of events. The most important thing in any game should be the player. We have built a game for them."
This Guild Wars 2 video is a must watch ... here it is. ENJOY!
Guild Wars 2 takes everything you love about Guild Wars 1 and puts it into a persistent world that's got more active combat, a fully branching personalised storyline, a new event system to get people playing together and STILL no monthly fees!
The GW2 Blog Krewe are feeling even more jealous of the people who'll be able to get to the hands-on demo of Guild Wars 2 at gamescom in Cologne, followed by a second showing at PAX Prime in Seattle two weeks later.
