Guild Wars Factions Cinematic Trailer Released

If you watch the move closely what you will see is that Nika uses a skill that slashes Shiro's wrists (this is evidenced by the streams of spirit/like/whatever coming out of his wrists) which caused him to drop his swords and leave him wide open for the other soldiers to finish off. I liked it personally and think it was just enough to wet the whistle while giving us the necessary info on the background story.

ah, the lighting wasnt good enough for me to see that, and yeah it is all gonna be balanced when the game comes out, so the video was no indicator of how strong they are.

Best cinima ever!
When the building goes in that mushroom cloud......that's when the chills came.
Also the Kurzics(sp?) look very asia meets gestapo with their long black leather armor. Now I actually have a reason to pick them.

The video was good. Too bad the game play won't be as good as the movie.

No, guys, this is the cinematic for Onimusha 5 
I think the style was nicely done, Maybe we can get as much drama in the game. Let's hope for a decent storyline.

/nice vid.
It's like the Prophecies cinematics, where they introduce 3 "Heroes"
-Assassin lady.
-Legionnaire Warrior.
-Necro? looking guy.
/IMO. went abit too fast on some fighting scenes. unless their intention was to make it as non-graphic as possible with the fighting scenes. I like how they show a small story behind how the "frozen Jade Sea" and "Petrified Forest" were created.
/g'day.

Lol, nerfed!
I have to agree, the video didn't thrill me like it did my mate, Eviance, but then it takes a lot to impress me, so there you are. I'm a bit more hyped about the event, though. Only one month away!

Ritualist: Osht! Osht! Osht!
Shiro: Ritualists suck!
*Cut to falling Ritualist*
Shiro: Pwned.

I thought by wearing those rit headgears, they could at least get slightly heightened senses. I guess not...

Hahaha at first I thought this was a hash code.

Very nice cinematic, thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I think the death cry could have been a little more like a... well death cry, and less like an atomic bomb. The petrifying effect was cool, though we didn't see the sea turn to jade

i like the video a lot...even though it reminded me of jade empire and a few other games...oh well I cant wait for chapter 2...

nika shadow stepped so she wouldn't get petrified, duh :P pretty smexy cinematic trailer. if they use/d things like that for ingame cinematics maybe i wouldn't complain about redoing missions. ;o
they're showcasing the storyline stuff, not how uber ritualists or assassins are ._.

I think its an excelent video...
Can you beleive those n obs who say "I was disapointed"
ffs, its a clip of something that happened hundreds of years ago..... things were obviously gona be a bit different then! nothing to do with what factions is gona be like.
"omg omg.. ritualists get pwn...."
shut up.. you dont even know the situation, they were all in the middle of chanting a ritual of somekind, they are obviously weakned by this...
Also, shiro has just fought an entire army of warriors, you dont know what health he had, or how much energy.... sounds like the right time for a surgical strike to me...
also those two guys at the end finished him off with what looked like a DOUBLE 'final thrust' critical hit with his OWN swords, the stats of which you could only imagine in your wet dreams...
I'd love to see the entire film 'Advent Children' Styleeee

Did anyone else think the assassin was running up the wall? o_o 'Took me a while to realize that she was teleporting.

The four rit's were not expecting a trusted person to slay them that quick.
The 4th one that ran (not killed on the 1st attack) went to hit the warning gong (she knew she was going to die, she was trying to hit the alarm to warn others).
The villian has to be as powerfull or more then the lich in c1.

Looks awesome! I was amazed, how actually more action of fighting there is in that, it looks like it's going to be a really good storyline if that's what it's based on in the actual ingame storyline.

OK, I'm gonna watch that again...

Very nice indeed. Just wondering how indicative it is of the actual gameplay, after all they did show us Devona dual-wielding in the Prophecies video...
Was nice to see the luxxies and the kuzzies working together. Hoping the plot involves reuniting them.

When I saw shiros face I couldn't help but think of the movie the silence of the lambs...his face looks like it was made by buffalo bill. Maybe each one of his victims "donated" a flap. (Okay it's probably just me...Mrs. swehurn has a thing for that movie..)
But a very good video indeed...and also I hope we get cut scenes like that.

Those ritualists were just generic Ritualists A, B, C, and D, while the assasin was a HERO!
Anyways, its kind of interesting that the there is no specific identity for the Ritualist that gets posted all over and on the cover, while we have a specific hero for the Assassin class.
