ArenaNet’s Guild Wars 2 Releases A New Trailer For The Non MMO Gamer

16 Comments

ArenaNet has dropped a brand new trailer for the gamer that has never really paid attention to Guild Wars 2 but is now either on the fence or is looking for a starter video to get an idea of the game.

For the hardcore gamer this video shows nothing new besides the enjoyment of watching your favorite race or profession blasting the poor sod that got in their way.

For the non MMO gamer or someone looking to get into the game, this is a great start to jump off from.

Check out the video and let us know your thoughts on ArenaNet’s recent trailers of the ever growing MMO Guild Wars 2.

I think this should’ve been the official launch trailer…

FRIGIN AWESOME and they mention the NO SUB. One of the best if not the BEST video to make you buy the game.
why your reading this, GO GET THE GAME and try to kick my guilds ass in World vs World.
BBB is waiting for you.

I’m going to pretend the other trailer never happened and this is actually their launch trailer.

Better than THIS IS OUR TIME, even with the narrator from Winnie The Pooh.

MUCH better than the previous trailer and ALL of it was in game footage. Very nice.

This has been on the main website for about a week now, about the same time they put up that OTHER trailer.

This was on their site for month or so

Except the fact that they showcase skills not actually in the game (Engineer absorb skill), this was a great trailer, much better than their live-action trailer, because it showcased the actual game.

I would’ve used new footage if i were them though, as the old non-optimized footage doesnt look remotely as good as the newer footage.

This trailer is old and has been on the site for a while now. At least 3 weeks. ;)

Could have chosen a better voice actor!

Beyond boring or innovative. GuildWars 2: Diminishing Enjoyment.

A launch trailer is not “the official trailer”. There are many trailers for Guild Wars 2 and this isn’t one of them. This isn’t a traIer at all, really. It’s more like a tutorial.

The launch trailer was less than a minute. You couldn’t make this is less than a minute. More importantly anyone who doesn’t like MMOs, will turn off from this “trailer” immediately. They won’t like it at all. The launch trailer is aimed at people who don’t play MMOs at all. It’s aimed at the average person. Because MMO people who are going to try Guild Wars 2 would try it anyway and those who aren’t, die hard fans of other MMOs, won’t be swayed by this.
But a whole lot of people who never tried an MMO before ever, and a bunch who gave up on them, have bought Guild Wars 2.

Anet wants to expand the base of people playing MMOs. That’s who the launch trailer was aimed at. They really don’t need to advertise to us.
