This was posted this morning at GuildWars2.com on the front page as the "new Gamescom 2011 trailer".

Here's a 1080P WMV direct download link if you want "the full experience".

Right-click, save as; you know the drill.

I thought I was going to be disappointed when this video started, but I am anything but. There's a lot of subtly-placed new information in this video. New bosses are shown, new skills are shown, the Norn's totem animal transformation forms are shown and so much more... and it all looks incredible.

P.S.: Any of you who've decided to give Guild Wars 1 a try, the offer still stands if you want some (spoiler-filled or spoiler-free) company through the game's story, quests and missions.

Just add "Cadwallen Anueryn" to your friend list and send me a PM here at BlueGartr with your Guild Wars in-game name as well and we'll set something up. College classes begin on the 22nd, so time won't be as readily available as it could've been over the summer weeks, but I'll still try to squeeze people in.



Ah yes... there's also the NCSoft live feed from GamesCom.

Nothing "live" happening right now. Just showing a webcam shot of a video screen... which is live... but.. you know.

Just when you think the game can't get any better, they release more info and I get giddy as a little school girl again.

Captured via the live stream from Gamescom 2011 in Cologne, Germany;
Guild Wars 2 {slightly limited, but far less than before} character customization.
Spoken audio is in German, but who cares! NEW INFORMATION!



(...somewhat lame, but admittedly primitive. pre-alpha, et cetera)

[Dantrag]

did the new trailer have a FF feel to anyone else? Felt like there was going to be some epic story line and cut scenes but still have content and a lot of stuff to do.

Is it me or are they less gremlin-ey than in GW1?

[Shuichi]

They need to announce a CE version of this game for release. I'm so buying it.

[Takiwaki]

Sylvari guardian, wow most of the skills have changed, sound effects and visual effects.

[Zerocool]

Wow, when they said destructible environments they weren't kidding.

[bluefan]

Can't wait to try this at PAX next week. Played last years demo too, but there's just so much more this year!

[XalienLevi]

this is getting out of control.

[Takiwaki]

[Insanecyclone]

"This is actually our smallest dragon"

[Zzsark]

The more I see the less I know which race/class I want to start with... Too much good stuff.

[notorious bum]
