I wonder what it will be like. GW was always kinda ‘meh’ to me (except when there was platforming like there was for some collectible or something in GW2 which could fuck right off). I hope it works out well, though.
Fuck yeah, gw2 is my favorite mmo I’ve ever played, and its not even close. I’m so excited for this.
Guild Peace when?
I’m genuinely very excited for this, but I have to ask: What use is this video as far as an advertisement? What does the video add beyond what an official headline with GW3 on it couldn’t? There’s no gameplay, information, nothing but some pretty pictures and a voice-over. The most I could gather is there’s some form of rock climbing, there’s mounts, and there are classes. But even some of that might be off.
It shows off:
- where it takes place (ancient Orr)
- that that place is mostly a wilderness (as the game takes place a thousand years before the first one)
- some playable races (Kodan bears are new, Asura and humans are not, Charr won’t be in this one due to the time period)
- different mount types (flying dragon is probably a mount too)
- different modes of movement, which is a large focus of this game
- gliders
- the style they’re going for, evolved from GW2
And I’ve probably missed a ton of things. Once you really start looking at it there’s actually a lot going on.
Maybe I’m just looking for a different type of advertisement. I’m interested in what combat looks like, what gameplay loop they’re going for, which professions are intended for release (and the profession system in general), what game types are supported (PvP, WvW, GvG), team composition goals, etc. Lore and visuals are cool, I guess, but I don’t but a product for its look or backstory.
All of that will follow in due course. Guild Wars is a very story-heavy franchise so it’s logical that they focus on the setting first before diving into those details. We still have about 1.5 years before we can play the beta so that’s plenty of time to elaborate.
But I want to be a planty people ;_; Still amazing though!!
haha same, as a sylvari main from my first day, I’ll miss my glowing salads, but oh well, as long as they keep GW2 alive…
Oh damn??? Looks like MMORPGs aren’t dead after all. I would have loved to see some gameplay but it’s nice knowing there’s an honest to god new mmo being made by a big studio.
Riot is working on an mmo set in the league of legends universe too.
I honestly hope this will play better on the Deck than GW2.
Doubt it will play on the Steam Deck at all.
According to the Steam page for Guild Wars 3: System Requirements Minimum: OS: Windows 10 64-bit Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: RTX 2060 / Radeon RX 5700 / Intel Arc A580 Storage: 65 GB available space
I’m cautiously optimistic about this one. I loved GW2, even though I haven’t kept up with it in a while, so I’m interested to see what they are planning for the sequel. Orr also seems like a fun setting. I live the descriptions in GW2 of Orr pre-sinking. (Also, the gods (presumably) saying “we promise you magic” is funny, considering how horribly that ends in this case.)
However, GW2 is dripping in style, and I love the painterly style it has. I’m not seeing that same style in this trailer. It looks kinda generic, tbh. (The design of the mount is stellar, though.)
Also, being set in the past means that the Sylvari don’t exist yet, and the Charr are still the “great enemy”, so those two are out. We seem to have gained Kodan as a playable race, though (probably means no Norn as well, since they would have quite a bit of overlap). Also, this seemed like the perfect chance to give the people the Tengu they have wanted, but playable Tengu remains a dream, it seems.
Perhaps Tengu is left so that it can be part of an extension when everything else is properly set
