Our first Gamescom video is from the sequel to the best selling free to play MMO Guild Wars, developed by ArenaNet. Guild Wars 2 is set to change MMOs for ever, not only because it's free to play, but also because of the way the game approaches the genre.
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
The "slippery slope" debate has started, now we wait to see what ArenaNet does.
"ArenaNet and NCSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion for their award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG "Guild Wars 2"." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
very much so... "blank" is still a thing" is also still a thing as you can can surmise.
Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃
Correct, and yes. Imo, they've done very well for themselves, and I'm very impressed with what they have achived with GW2 since the game launched.
Oh my God, I can't wait for this game. This is one of the reason The Old Republic worries me so much, the combat is boring as shit compared to games like this, TERA and Vindictus, and Guild Wars 2 has tons of voice acting as well. I think Star Wars went wayyyyy to traditional at a time when MMOs are about to have a renaissance. It feels outdated and it hasn't even been released yet.
