OMG, I've waited so long for this *can't sit still*

My favorite part is where the camera goes down under the water and the music changes. But seriously this is some of the crazy best stuff I've ever seen. I also love all that nice concept art at the end.

[Matsign]

That's one hell of a trailer and no doubts your game is gonna be top notch. Loved every second of it! Thanks for dropping by.

[smokenmirrors]

very nice setup, love the animated artwork!

[Jason Snair]

Insane!

That cinematic looks amazing. Really inspiring stuff man.

I'm really curious, how do you animate your illustrations (like in the beginning of the trailer)? What software do you use. I'd love to try that out. (Edit: Not that I think it's just that easy or anything. You guys are amazing.)

Oh. and I really want play the game now too.

omg, kekai's illustrations are freaking awesome...time to go hide in the corner.

[TheGnoll]

holy shit
that was one awesome trailer.

yes, you have been missed.
i have a feeling this is going to be an epic thread, can't wait to see more!

[ceddo]

Hot DAMN. This is one of the best trailers I've ever seen. I absolutely love the illustration animations, very interesting style. Looking forward to this game

[Jason Snair]

Thanks Ragnar

I hope I didn't imply that I thought you alone were to be credited for this massage project. I know that only a huge team would be able to pull it off and.. make it look as incredible as it does.

I guess I just saw gorgeous(moving) pictures and was like.."ooh...how'd do that?" and then typed that out without thinking much anything else.

[Neonoir]

H O L Y S H I T !

Stunning.

[rjparamonte]

... We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

[Kan Muftić]

I was privileged to see some of the stuff while working at NCsoft and I can tell that, once you guys publish the paintings, everyone will have to change their pants.

[prostate sunrise]

Thanks a bunch guys, so happy you enjoy it! Here's one of the concept illustrations I did for the trailer. We'll try and update when we can.

Thank you all for your kind replies.


Kekai

[Pretty_Angel]

I love you so much, guys! Can't wait for the game!

[prostate sunrise]

Some more shots.

[~Faust~]

Wow that is so nice!

[Sirsketchalot]

Wow I'm so excited! It's great to hear from you guys again! The art was amazing in Guild Wars (from the world to the stained glass windows in Ascalon), and I'm happy to see it's back again. The armor and clothing design has always blown me away too. Hopefully more customization will be an option in the new one. I'm most excited about meshing persistence with instance.

That trailer was so worth it that I went back through it and paused every other second at the end. The concept art there is just splendid. Keep updating us!

[chemodeath]

I ll be an Asuran

[richard1214]
