It's probably going to be in German, but 20 bucks says they release the english version online at the same time.

On another note, the twitter announced the time (without saying what it is for) several hours ago.

I could see that happening, not sure about the mini sylvari, more likely a Dragon i would think.

Also thats 100% odds since old man retard retired Favre is signed by the vikidiots.(not trying to be mean btw)

I'm really happy to hear they are announcing and showing the trailer for GW2 but this makes me wonder, why Germany? Why not at a US convention first, then international?

All this news make me feel somewhat joyous, and I could certainly use that right now.

I hope by the time the beta is out, I will have built a cheap($400USD), but powerful enough to max out GW on max resolution with AAx4.

Anyone besides me worried they'll need a new PC to fully enjoy the beauty that is to come? :O

I personally would rather not play GW2 at all than play it at low resolution and everything on low. I just love the scenery. Silly, I know .

Just read that comparison to Duke Nukem Forever.

If you wanted to compare something you should have brought up:
Starcraft Ghost from Blizzard. Blizzard has loads of money from their Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft lines.

Gameplay Trailer

Cinematic Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVsTrLW_04U




And dont forget:
Warcraft Adventures, also from Blizzard, and also canned.

Yeah, but Blizzard is huge, they can afford to scrap games. Anet can't, if they scrap GW2, they'd probably go out of business.

I agree, but that wasnt the point of the post. And I know blizzard has loads of cash, its in my post. I was just replying to the folks comparing GW2 to DNF. They could have used either of the 2 blizzard games I mentioned and it would have made a better argument, on their part.

Myself, GIVE ME A TRAILER FOR GW2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cologne is in Germany....

But any reason why you feel that this announcement (like 95% of others of this type) need to originate from the US? I guess in response to your earlier question: why not Germany? Us Euro's deserve love too!!!

Seriously kicking myself for deciding not to go this year :/

You know, I hate to be an ***, but have you even noticed something about your theory? Their all from Blizzard. ArenaNet is not Blizzard. Bring us a product from ArenaNet that was fully canceled. If not, please can it .

Certainly do! In fact I believe Europe has a bigger Guild Wars market than America, though I could be mistaken. Germany alone certainly holds a very large chunk of the player base.

The people crying Vaporware are like any conspiracy theorists...

nothing will change their mind. Even when GW2 goes gold, they will close their eyes, and claim it hasn't.

Urgh, I always sucked at geography. ;p

In response to your question, I can agree that euros need love to but it would seem to make more sense to announce it at something like PAX being that they are based in Bellevue, Washington.

Well, they will. I'm sure they have something special planned for PAX. (REALLY kicking myself for not planning to go this year).

But Gamescom is like a worldwide game convention. Why not show it there?

Factions World Championship and Nightfall Preview were also done at Leipzig (which became Gamescom in Cologne), so this is not the first time they've done this.

Ok, well that makes more sense then I suppose.

Yeah, I wish I could go to PAX like you but going from Jersey to Washington is one heck of a drive. Heh...

So instead of announcing it now, they should wait 3 weeks.

And when it comes out.. Is it really GW2??

Hahaha

Anyway, yeah im extremely glad they arent waiting till PAX for this. First of all after all this hype, waiting again would be intolerable almost. And second, this way they can get even more different info out at PAX.

I can't speak German either. Its actually a major reason why I decided not to go to gamescom - went to Leipzig last year and couldn't understand 50% of it and so didn't get as much enjoyment as I would have liked. I have no doubt that an English version will be available shortly after the premier.

@Nightow Logic kinda makes sense-ish. Thing is with all these shows being broadcast on the net there's very few local shows anymore. I was suprised they chose gamescom, but then its just before PAX so I guess its a "why not" thing.

You’ll soon understand how ambitious we’ve been and what we’ve accomplished during these past two years of development. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but from here on out we’ll be able to provide you with more regular updates.

Guild Wars 2 is going to be a huge leap beyond the original. We have the best team in the industry executing at the top of their game, and I’m very proud of what our team has accomplished so far. As I said last week, I’m confident that when you get your first look at what we’ve been working on, you’re going to love what you see. Stay tuned for an exciting week ahead.

Whoops. Shouldn't have said that.
The second he posted that, the clock started ticking. If something jaw dropping doesn't happen within EXACTLY 7 days to the nanosecond from when he posted that message, GW2 will be universally deemed an epic failure/vaperware by the hardcore community.

Rule #1 for dealing with hardcore fans: Never, EVER give an exact (or anything that can be misconstrued or exaggerated as exact) time frame or date for ANYTHING.

Even if you're 100% sure you'll make the date, simply saying "very soon" is infinitely safer, because it prevents the insatiable hype machine that will build and build to a point where absolutely anything you show will be universally deemed an epic failure by the hardcore community.
