I dont know about you but seeing this makes me think - this is definitely gonna be one of the few games I buy day one. It looks great. Anyone else notice the players getting consumed and killed by the rock hands...how awesome is that!?!?!

lol its an MMO class game. Haha and it wasnt THAT bad. I actually liked it. It at least at the feeling of fire rather than the fail fake LOOK of it. So many games jsut have particles in clumps as fire. This at least has the movement of fire too. lol. Mostly...it all looks awesome though. Makes me wanna play an MMO. Haha.

Looks good but when does it come out exactly? Been waiting for GW2 since 08 thinking it'll be released every year but it gets delayed again and again. Give me this game and i won't need one single other game for another two years :) (do hate every other MMO though).

Actually you're wrong. You didn't look hard enough. It's actually quite good looking fire and it's a visual art style choice, and they were never going for "realistic" looking fire. A game's art style needs to be consistent with everything else. But it's sad that of all the things, you happen to notice only the fire. Guild Wars 2 looks gorgeous and it has some beautiful backdrops. Very impressive game. If the gameplay is any better than the original, I will have fun with this one.

Can they just take my money and be done with it?

Edit: All the effects look amazing considering its a stylized style. That means it ditches the realistic look which is out of date + looks like crap in 3 years. Instead it will look the same in 10 years and run on lower machines.

GW is my second favorite MMO (eve is first), but i played the monk and I heard he has been removed from the game! This kind of killed my excitement as it was the best healer/support class in any game out there.... IF the monk is still a true class I will probably bash the game to death.

Impossible, especially for Diablo 3 which is confirmed that it won't be released this year, Blizz will not be releasing any game this year, not even HotS (which they announced last year that they're going for a 6 months to a 1 year development to complete each game or "you might never know", it happened "complications, GW 2 is the same, won't happen, who knows if even 2012 is plausible (maybe end of) so don't worry if you're into Skyrim you won't have a hard time choosing ;).

After watching this terribly underwhelming video + the PvP aspect that I hate (not a fan of this way of doing things), I have no interest in this game, the only reason left would be this, which won't cut it. Made me realise how promising Rift might be, will certainly buy after a while if it still maintains its community and I want to mix things up with WoW.

Where did they say it was confirmed to not release this year? I don't recall them ever saying that. The only thing they said was that they have no release date, but they're striving to push it out this year. If not, we will see TWO Blizzard titles in 2012.

Not gonna bother searching myself but you can google, they confirmed that they won't be releasing anything in 2011.

It's unlikely that they won't be releasing Diablo 3 in 2011, but it's not out of the question yet. It's not confirmed. If it was confirmed I'm sure there would have been an ongoing thread already followed by several others.

There never is, because that's how Blizzard does things, when it's something major like actually releasing a game, or big announcements for huge aspects of their games, they make Blizzcon, the rest is just randomly "leaked" through their many employees on the official forums or on who knows what forgotten websites. It's not the first time this happened, the same thing went on with Starcraft 2, there were official responses from their unknown employees on unknown websites that got the scoop about SC 2 being a trilogy, the "official" announcement happened almost 1 month later when they also made the FAQ on what they offer as extra for multiplayer. Don't even remember the number of leaks Bashiok provided while randomly offering support or just discussing things on various Blizz forums.

Wow, that's some terrible looking fire x.x, I don't care if that's 'stylized' that just looks horrible... really, (youtube is going at ~1kb/s so I can't watch the whole thing) all the spell effects look mediocre, and there's no excuse for that, you can easily run wonderful looking effects, at least match ff13 or something, it's not that hard on hardware >.> Hell, I think ff10's spell effects were better..

They just look so dull and flat...

All of WoW's spell effects are kinda bad looking, but the whole game looks much worse.. so, it's not like it sticks out as a huge flaw.

Game will look good, its youtube quality that sucks.



Graphics aren't the thing i'd worry about. For now the only thing i don't really like is the walking animation which is almost exactly as it is in GW1.

Im not impressed at all. Im not saying it will be bad but it looks decent... Even lower than decent ... Maybe the fact that their in game engine is just an upgrade of the old one didnt help alot. Or dunno , maybe im blind or biased towards GW2 and cant see anything positive graphic wise.

technically, no, its not impressive, but the art direction looks great imo. Character design, spell effects, animations...they all look very slick to me.

Did GW1 looked good back in 05? I'm sure it was the best or one of the best looking MMO's around. It i'll be the same with GW2. Check some high res pics showing fire, its far from *garbage looking*.

Much less than what I was expecting technically and graphically. Looks alright though. Is it actually an MMO this time?

I fail to see the relevance of the first game, the fire looks bad, even in the annoyingly small pictures from the official sight. Don't like the look of the spell effects in general. Also, I absolutely hate cinematic perspectives on video games, would rather see actual gameplay, and what there is of it of gw2, is either such low res it's not worth judging, or not video captured from the game, but from some sort of portable video recording device, so pretty much worthless.

Looks pretty darn impressive to me for an MMO.

There's even a backdrop if you care to notice it. Can't see it too well but it shows some of the game's draw distance. It looks great.
