- VS Guild Wars 2 in 2013 - Presenting: the first trailer.
I never would have thought my life would get to the point where the idea of doing a study of a video game trailer would be such an exciting prospect, but that's exactly what happened this morning. Enjoy and let me know whether it was worth the time!
Bro im watching this in 2019 and i want the old LA back so bad...
I had a section on it that I cut out in the end: The trailer shows the central area. The great lodges dont have their respective giant animal heads over the doorways, and there are more beams about than at launch. But the fences with random weapons on them and barriers are still there!! Hope this helps.
hello, i am from the future. Guild wars 2 will grow so much, you cant even imagine how cool and big it gets, you get a new class, you get 3 ELITE SPECS that are kinda like new classes or subclasses for the origin classes, you get mounts??!?! like you get an actual flying dragon to fly around with and a griffon that u can use to go super super fast! you get to kill so many elder dragons, and omg there is so much for you to still experience, just keep at the game and im sure you will have a blast!
12:26 Holy crap it's Rata Primus from Sandswept Isle and they did totally plop that into LW.
Yeah I thought the same thing!
Truee i thought the
SAMEEE
old version of the Black Citadel looked far more like a city than the one we got. The one we got is a bunch of poorly thrown together assets, like canopies halfway intersecting doors, and massive city gates with no defined edges. It has hardly any housing, apart from the Hero's Canton, and the Canton behind the staging area, and just looks like a theme park.
Love the video! I've seen all these trailers, but I completely forgot about everything and would have never thought to compare! Please make more!
Just re-found this video, you totally should do more like this, I'd love to find an asura city like this in another section of the maguuma wastes but I think thats a little bit to hopeful >.
Just awesome. You blow my mind everytime. Your videos give me hope that someday the game will live up to what it promised to be and also honour the lore of gw1 a little more directly.
Your videos never cease to lose my interest, love this!
Please do more of these videos! I really enjoy going back to old game trailers and assets and compare them with the finished thing. Didn't expect this trailer to raise so many questions though. That dragon corpse... Whoa.
I enjoy these cos i can listen to you talk for hours and you come up with some really interesting views and opinions. Keep making more
More videos like this please! I loved watching it, I have never thought about any of these thing, keep it up!
This is very much a watch in 2019. I love Guild Wars 2 and it has come so far.
wooden potatoes you are the best, keep making lots of lore videos, mysteries and stuff, you enhance the guild wars experience a lot.
I was going through my computer and found all the old trailers and watched them recently. The trailer where you see more of the original Sylvari was crazy. And then I noticed the dates on the files and my mind was blown. I had forgot how long I had waited for GW2 to launch! So yes, please do more comparison vids!
this comparison video is brilliant! Absolutely love it and I am eager to see more. Keep it up WP!
I know Im like 4 years late, I remember reading somewhere rata sum, divinitys reach and Lions arch were changed before release because they were too confusing to navigate.
I remember when this video came out, it seems like it was yesterday to me, but it's already 9 years! Crazy.
Yeah you're right! Thats why that tree appears to be fisheyeing a little bit and stretching to the side.
I believe WP is spot on that that was likely Zhaitan's (no google.. I did not mean Shaitan. Who the eff is Shaitan?) original model. It would seem that the explore modes are intended to take place chronologically after the story mode. The deceased dragon on that old explorable map was very likely Zhaitan's corpse after his defeat. I wager one of the paths originally had a focus on delving into his body. Perhaps to defeat something lurking inside. His still beating heart trying to reanimate his slain corpse? Some kind of second in command? We may never know. I'm guessing they decided to scrap it partly because they in the end agreed it was silly to so openly show the corpse of their flagship vilain and also partly due to his radically changed appearance.
/tinfoil hat
Your videos take my gameplay to the next level thanks!
loved it. Absolutely want to see the other trailers compared. I love this kind of videos.
The scenes from the trailer that is supposedly going to be the grove or at least a sylvari area looks a lot more like the maguuma jungle area you could find in guild wars 1 with the huge root bridges and was what initially got me so excited to play sylvari when this first launched. I really do hope they bring that sort of concept art into the actual game when you get to explore Magus Falls and Maguuma Wastes, potentially in the second pale tree you hear about in the sylvari storyline. Would be interesting to see if they decided to bring that orginial plan for that instead as it looks a lot dryer and more like the maguuma jungle from guild wars 1
White crane mistery resolved ! :D more of this pls, reminds me like the 'Then and Now' city photo collections. Nice vid!!!
It would still be so cool to find the original reveal trailer LA map files one day, just to see what they had in mind!
great video! more would be great! i love retrospective comparison videos like this
this video was AMAZING. Yes please do more. Also I am so dying for new land in gw2. We are in dire need for them to open up the map for more interesting exploration, after a full year this is what I miss the most. I wanna discover again. Put an end to the temporary and open up your world anet!
Wow, I quite like this video! For some reason I find this kind of stuff extremely interesting and intriguing. Please do another!
Awesome vid wp!
Most exciting thing for me was the dead dragon - up to now I never thought of it again! But now, seeing the old map of arah and comparing it to the trailer, there are a lot of similarities. (Also take a look at the oily surface on its wings, it's a lot like the ones you find in Orr). And you can also see the front paw on the map (but strangely not the head.) There's also water next to the dragons body and the whole greenish lights and stuff make it look a lot like Arah.
I find myself re-watching the old trailers a lot myself.. loved it, do the other trailers :)
That's an incredibly extreme example. I loved cubeworlds way of doing things!
See it the positive way, much more content to come!
Great video again thx!
To clarify the “LA looks like an island” Look at DR there you really still see water around it but there are no maps around it. At LA is seems they had water around it but took that away. The north entrance (Gendarran fields) there is this little pool of water with even a wharf. The entrance is over the water but then (looking on the map) the water is just a little pool. It really looks like they took out the water and place some cliffs on it's place to make it a separate (instanced) area.
Wow, this was actually incredibly interesting to watch. Thank you for this video.
Bria's Manor really is a cool little area, definitely in my top 10 for most memorable event chains. Bria herself has some neat dialogue that I really love. Honestly, I really like Iron Marches as a whole, one of the most well made zones IMO.
Really cool job WP.
As for the corpse of the dragon, first thing I thought was Dragons gullet from GW1, but it would be super awesome if there was a new arah explorable taking place inside the corpse of zhaitan, to finish him once and for all, eg. destroying his heart or something like that.
Definitely keep this series up.
The Lion's Arch stuff at 9:10 onwards, quite a few of those assets can be seen on Claw Island such as the towers (sans the ships) and a few of the huts one can see below the bridge.
I actually remember being on GW2 Guru and talking about this trailer when it first came out, good times.
Ahh so its not really a matter of resolution but offering more LOD. Nice! I believe there used to be a panoramic screenshot option too in betas? Or something like that.
Yes please we want more. Great comparison, loved seeing the differences
Awesome video maybe even my favourite I've seen so far keep it up!
I liked this video and I'd love to see more of these. Maybe you could talk about some of those early profession trailers too? There's a lot of weird skills that seem to have been removed, and some other subtle differences in the combat system.
Loving the dustforce soundtrack in the background!
13:27 asura location looks a little bit like the asura research station in brisban, duskstruck moors. At least there is some of this brown sand, too.
At one time I decided I wanted to recreate Lions Arch in Minecraft. This was before any information about it had came out, and I was looking at everything, from trailers, to screenshots and everything else I could find to map out the entire city. I very vividly remember the blue cloth, and even recreated them and I was very surprise to go ingame and not see them the when they seemed. They seemed to cover pretty much the entire market area, from one side to the other.
They really should think about adding the original rata sum, grove and black citadel areas in some other areas, i mean we have yet to see a huge part of the jungle to the west so it leaves alot of space for the grove area and a hidden (genious) asuran city that wouldn't drop amazing design for practicality (just plonk all the NPC's in one room for gods sake and leave the visuals alone), also the charr homeland to the north. So many chances for these to reenter the game in all their glory.
Great video would love to see more on the other trailers :D!
Great video!! It's cool to look back to things like this and draw comparisons. I can't help but be sad about some of the things we don't have though, especially Rata Sum. I like the idea of some other Asurans appearing though, it would create even more conflict within a very divided species.
Also, I LOVE it when you compare things to the first game. GW1 was one of my favorite games, unfortunately I never really got to play it very much so I know little of the story. If you get the time, I would love a series of videos on factions and NightFall, like you did with Prophecies, explaining the story. Some new mysteries videos would to awesome as well.
Thank you, WP, for making all these great videos! I would not enjoy GW2 nearly as much without you. Keep it up!
I always wondered who eyepatch guy was and I could never find any lore with him or anything. Thanks WP! Nice video.
Another great vid WP :) The topic was unexpected, but I think it was well chosen. A lot of interesting discussions could come from this!
I definitely feel the lack of open plains in this game. I can't go anywhere in the open world without game mechanics and combat breaking my immersion. Waypoints were done badly too, imho.
Oh, about the giant sea monster. You never see a live one ingame (so far), but you see skeletons of that race all over. "Chompy" in the pirate jumping puzzle in LA is over that race, the Priory has a skeleton in their instanced HQ, and I believe a few are about Orr.
Perhaps we'll see it ingame when they start doing stuff for the underwater dragon?
It's so lovely to see many parts of the trailer can be explored in the game! Let's hope they haven't forgotten the bits that we haven't been able to see and hope Anet has a living story to fill us in with! Great job on the video, WP =]
awesome vid WP! you were saying exactly what I was thinking in the Kessex open field part.But for me IT IS a big disappointment that gw2 doesn't have those vast areas, because I love that
Very awesome format! please continue!
If you want to know specifically it was the manifesto trailer :D
Wow, that Dragon corpse really surprised me, even though I have seen the trailer I didn't even remeber that.
I think The Grove area may have been more heavily influenced by what's in Henge of Denravi in the first installment. Switching to a more vertical design in that city certainly frees up more space around it and it makes sense for a tree which is, after all, vertical.
Wooden Potatoes,
Thanks for all your great vids. They have helped with my immersion greatly while playing GW2 which is something I never get into! TY!
Have you seen Mark Pitrie's 1 hour cinematic with two GW2 cinematics put to his epic music. One is Embolden I think; which is so amazingly beuatiful and I think put over this material you are talking about in this video though I may be wrong. Nonetheless check it out. It's so beautiful and well done. The other is his song Covenant but the footage he puts it over I have not a clue which cinematic is used. It seems like a mix of footage. I would like to know where we can get the raw cinematics themselves if available.
Charrs standing upright, pls.
Really great video, would love to see more.
I think perhaps the dead dragon could have been what you were talking about the "real end" of the arah story mode: we put zhaitan down, then we go down into his guts and tear his heart out! x) Considering the region on the map ( the 5 or 6 pillars, like rays of a wheel, and comparing them with the towers around zhaitan's tower... it could match...)
The horns in that theme still give me goosebumps.
At 17:00 when i saw that dragon i thought the exact same thing, that would be awesome if it was a dungeon entrance, but still just the fact that coild be actually in game, dungeon or not it would be the coolest thing to visit
Omg, I love this! Yes I would like to see more of this!
It is amazing how much that green open field made me want to play the game.
Great Video WP! I'd really like to see the other trailers beeing analyzed as well :)
I can't wait to see what you do with the other trailers :D
Great video! I haven't watched that trailer in a long time and it is really interesting to see just how much changed for use in the actual game. Hope you do more like this one, and thanks!
Great video! I would love to see more
Thank you wery much WP, I was looking for that ending scene with what I believe could be the Deep sea dragon. I almost thought it didn't even exit and that I dreamed about it, because when I was asking no one knew about it.
I'd like to mention that the shot of the field in kessex hills around 6 minutes in is indeed as big as they showed in this trailer. However, in the trailer, it seems as though the field of view is set pretty high, a lot higher than we can actually get in game, unfortunately.
But this higher field of view differently makes this already open area look a lot more vast than it really is.
I really like the concept it reminds me of the hype for gw2. MOAR!
About the Lion Arch thing, I think the only explaination is that LA in the trailer is the one before the Zhaitan rise where LA get flooded. Where the LA in the current GW2 is the one after the flood, so we could see the ship and buildings are wrecked and kinda rebuilt.
On the guild wars 2 wiki article for Zhaitan it appears that the creator has compared the size of the dragon’s original model (that corpse) to the his current model and a few champions. Very interesting
i hope to be this hyped again for the upcoming expansion :3
WP, I believe that the two figures in the background behind the shot of Destiny's Edge are Lord Faren (right) and Countess Anise (left) judging by model shape and size, as well as attire.
It's funny, I was just commenting a couple days ago on our guild's Facebook page about this same trailer and how different the cities were in the trailer compared to now. GMTA. :)
I forgot about that underwater creature near the sylvari at the end. I'd also hoped that the airships in game would look a lot more like those at the end than, well, what we have so far. Maybe in future updates? I guess we'll see.
Awesome video, you should definitely cover the other trailers!
I had forgotten my disappointment from more than a year ago when I got into the beta and expected to see a lot of these shots. Back then, though, I didn't REALLY realise that they werent there. Rata Sum isnt how I imagined it was before I saw it. This video has kind of made that click for me.
I do remember thinking that dragon was Glint's body and she had died of old age during the 250 years. But now there's all that business with the Zephyrites, I don't believe her corpse will still be there.
Great video! I'd love to see you do the races trailer.
I found out the other day you can actually sneak in that house by standing at the back door at the right moment! I even have footage of it!
More please! They are very interesting.
Yeah pretty crazy right?! Four years since this thing aired.
I wish they would slowly patch in all the stuff in this trailer. Even if they added little details like weather vanes on the houses in Queensdale, it wouldn't take very long or much effort, but over time they would end up with an incredibly detailed world much like the one they advertised in the trailer.
I very much enjoyed this. Definitely make videos for the other trailers :)
Thanks man would love to see those other trailers
Amazin wid, wud like to see more like these. WP ur the best!
This is so weird watching today and seeing how far this has changed :p
This was great WP, would love to see more
Great video! It reminds me that I really wanted to play an asura because I thought I could have a pet golem but now when I remember correctly, I only used the golem elite twice. Sadly, they aren't that useful. ANet did a good job, I like the new Rata Sum more and with the Aetherpirates we might see a comeback to the Airships in LA. It would definitely be a shame if they dumped that dragon corpse forever, though.
That dead Dragon was so badass hope to see it as a dragon later :D
I don't think Anet throws anything away tbh, I am positive we will see some of this stuff in the future. But HUGE props to Sir WP here ;)
You can still sense the hype of this game watching those videos. Man was it absurd. Pity what the game became in the end, promised much more.
As long as people understand what is being talked about the rest is trivial.
This was really interesting. Thanks for the video woodenpotatoes.
You can get a really good shot of divinity's reach if you stand at the vista at the water pump :)
Oh dragons gullet would be perfect in so many ways. Lovely idea!
Yes. More please. I never followed all the early trailers, only got into gw2 late beta time, so it's pretty interesting.
Wow I have definitley even played that PS! But I don't remember the lab at all :P. A shame.
