ebagg

Sooo purdy! Lookin forward to it!

kary

Very nice. Neat moment when the camera cleanly goes underwater, bit of a nod to the GW1 limit there I guess Lovely art

stoofoo

Glad you guys like it! I'm crazy excited to have this out in the air. I've been looking at it for a long time being like Awww man commmeee onnnn show it!

Sadly, nothing I did is in this video. I only make monsters and they showed exactly 3 monsters in the whole video. The End clip, the golem and the ever sweet bearmans. I don't care though! Plentyyyyyy of things to show when they come out. ILL LET YOU KNOW.

Thegodzero

VERY NICE!! I can't wait to play it!

BlackulaDZ

holy crap that trailer was gorgeous. I am definitely picking this up once it's out.

Looks beautiful man. You guys are doing some incredible work.

HellMark

Your art team is stupid insane. Fantastic work.

Mark Dygert

Awesome work guy! Aww man is right, I wanted to see some of Joes work... Still lots of pretty things to look at...

Sandro

Environments were really jaw-dropping. I also liked intro composited with paintings. Reminded me good old Thief 1-2 days

HA HA! Agreed. I have to say, you guys always impress me with the art of Guild Wars. Are we going to get another big dump of Guild Wars Concept Art? :::crosses fingers:::

JasonLavoie

uhhhh... wow!

moose

/hugs to joe

cool stuff

Swizzle

Aw, shit! Yes! I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard you guys were working on the sequel. I really loved the first one, but didn't get a chance to play until the population on the servers started thinning out and nobody I knew was playing. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the next one.

Also, ART DUMP PLEEEEEZ.

rollin

wow.......!!

stoofoo

I'm pretty sure all the old art dumps were mandated by our art director Daniel? I'm sure there will be one. We've got a ways to go, though.

Renaud Galand

This was PURE GOLD. I enjoyed every second of this trailer ! Awesome work ! :-)

Codeman

very nice. Beautiful enviros.I hope the enhance the gameplay this time around and allow interaction with the enviros. Last time there was very little.

Cybroxide

wow if i aspire to do one thing in life, it is to create environments of that caliber, looks absolutely fantastic.

IMPATIENT DOUCHETARD DEMANDS ART DUMP NAO

mikezoo

oh Snap!

I effing love that fade out between concept art and actual game. that whole scene is spot on to the concept art.

Love it!!!

stimpack

Lovely lovely work guys.

HausFly

Environments look amazing. I never played the first one but may have to check this one out just so I can run around and look at all the cool locations.

Frump

Man... Just awesome:)

I can't wait, loved the first one and this can only be much improved, plus the art looks amazing. Which in itself is reason enough to play.

Irreal

This trailer got me more stoked than the Avatar trailer. Awesome crazy environments. I love it.

It seems to me that Ncsoft have taken the craziest concept art and decided to run with it whereas other companies would tend to reign it in. Good work indeed.

vahl

I loved the first one, art was amazing in there, so I've been waiting for this one since it has been announced. great work so far, that trailer is awesome.
can't wait to have a try at this

conte

looks really cool.

Havok

Awesome .

bounchfx

watched it again, then read the faq... want it even more now...

to see that kinda quality, that calibur, and I know it's going to be better than the first.. and still have no monthly fee? F(&#$!

AWESOME job guys. fuck.

throttlekitty

I love the scenery in the Guild Wars world, top notch stuff!

Ben Apuna

I've always been a fan of Guild Wars art, Guild Wars 2 is looking amazing! I'm eagerly awaiting the massive art dump

conte

Kekai rocks

Daz

Incredible Joe. I'm only a lurker around here, since I rarely feel compelled to say too much. But now is one of those rare moments I feel the need to. What you guys have there is something really special, just stunning work.

Ged

great work, I recommend downloading the HD version and just pausing it every now and then to enjoy the quality environment art and the little details on the characters

Zotter

Like everyone's been saying those environments look great! I love the color palettes, very close to the concepts. Couple that with the gameplay of the first and I'm in .

Ged

personally I really liked the first one the only part that I found annoying was the combat, if we have a more realtime combat system like left click for hit and right click to shoot spell/ability then Id absolutely love it.
If its still the same as the original - clicking on a creature and then sitting back watching your character fight and occasionally pressing some number keys then I might want to give it a miss.

Zotter

Aww, yeah real time would be nice, too many mmos end up doing it the "click 'n wait" way, I always figured it was something to do with making it easier with lag, but yeah, nothing beats real time.

I just always liked that you recharged heath and magic on the field, made it more arcadey and for a nuker like me it was easier to solo.

Watched the video in my portfolio class with other students and we were all wowed. Just out of curiousity, since I'm really trying to work on my texturing, it looks painted but did you also use photos, or do both, painting on the photos?

stoofoo

I cannot speak for the environments, Zotter, but the character team hand paints everything. Us monster chaps hand paint as well. I'm pretty certain the enviro is handpainted looking at the textures.
