Guild Wars 2

[Bloo]

Some key information:


As far as I can tell, they were just checking everything worked. We should be seeing some real demos later today .

I am still really happy with what we can see though and it doesn't look like they've changed TOO much of the original GW winning forumla. Sure, it could probably do with some extra sprites when someone is resurrected, but it seems intentionally left out for now. As you say Bloo, the graphics are also really impressive. In fact, I fired up the original game at the weekend and that STILL looked amazing.

I'm also loving the map zooming. Really reminds me of RUSE. There wasn't enough gameplay to comment properly, but it didn't look boring that's for sure.

Yeah I just watched through it again, around the end when he's figthting the harpie and doing zero damage the presenter says the guy demoing it is invisible again. And the graphics are beautiful, they're the right level of fidelity and style imo.

And with map zooming, yeah I really like that as well, hopefully there will be a way of pulling it back far without going into map view, from the official trailers there is a lot of amazing scenery and I'd like to get a good view of it.

EDIT: Also, more gameplay footage!

The second has a person playing a necromancer, apparently their unique mechanic will be soul-reaping, which looks somewhat like adrenaline if I'm honest...
