Construction? Looks more like after the destruction to me.

But yeah, looks very KCish. Same color scheme at least.

Aljasha · Jun 03, 2009, 10:11 PM // 22:11

The fact that you have to go back five years illustrates the point I was trying to make. Yeah, they did introduce a trailer at 2003 E3 and a demo at 2004 E3, but so did everyone else - E3 was the place to be 5 years ago when you wanted to debut a video game. Since then E3's fallen out of favor, and Arenanet has almost solely concentrated on PAX. What have they done at E3 recently that would show that they would do ANYTHING there, now or in the future?

Dispite the canthan colors, the construction image looks a lil high tech. Kinda like the mix between Asuran and Canthan work. Maybe the capital in Divinity's Reach may look something like that.

Kinda remind me of the luxon walker things, like the one where you get the incubator from by leviathan pits.

Ha, that is a laugh. How many times have we heard this and received nothing?

Well, a piece of concept art (that was unreleased to the public, no less), was enough to get people riled up about the new Zelda.

This is all we will get for now, because Arena Net didn't really have a choice that those pictures are published, it is inevitable, other wise their art team could not compete in the competition.

also, i am pretty sure they are Guild Wars 2, since what competition would accept "old art work?"

Only once as far as I know, which was a comment early on in development that that beta testing was planned for 2H 2008.

(I know it is listed as GW1 concept art, but where do you think it is from?)

Rebuilding of Divinity's Reach ?

Congrats on the 2 wins to Kekai and Daniel! Well deserved imho,

While we're at it, do you know if the pics that Kekai and other Anet artteam members show in the ImagineFX magazine (#44, June 2009) are for GW2? There's a very nice Char on page 41, a Water Djinn/Margonite with four arms on page 44, the 2 IntoThePixel winners plus other nice pics (one looking like a City of Ascalon? one from Utopia IIRC, a very nice lady with an eagle, a futuristic city?) on page 52-53, a centaur on page 63.

(I can't find them on the Net and won't scan them for risk of infringing Copyrights)

What's with these pictures which are also on deviantart? What about the Knight Errant? (Yeah, I know, I'm a cyber-stalker!)

Arduin · Jun 04, 2009, 11:30 AM // 11:30

The construction site looks nothing I've seen in Guild Wars. Look closely to the background. There are skycrapers! Look at the foreground, there are subway-like tubes!

And the actual construction. Some kind of lightning/plasma welding is used. Looks to me like this is a glimpse from the future, and they are not building a city (Kaining) but something like...a spaceship

Very nice indeed.

The person on the foreground of Snow Battle looks a lot like our concept art champion from Guild Wars.

Aljasha · Jun 04, 2009, 12:13 PM // 12:13

man, these guys are great. i hope we'll see some armors and weapons from the concept art in the game.

The Luxons are heavily into giant robot Mecha-Crabs. My money is on them being the intended target. As far as the skyscraper go, it might have been a discarded idea about the exact nature of the Factions setting.

Kaineng has these influences of urbanization to the degree of a modern metropolis. Luxons as the seafarers are certainly prime suspect for a shipyard such as this. Maybe their tech level started out higher than it was in the "finalized product". Besides, it's just a background and even what's in the foreground is hard to turn into a usable asset within the game.

Jarus · Jun 04, 2009, 01:28 PM // 13:28

That's quite a modern-looking city in the background though.

IIRC Cantha is completely disconnected from the rest of the world in GW2.

You're right Arduinna, it looks much more "modern" than the fantasy look we're used to in GW1. Is it going to be the equivalent of Steampunk for fantasy?

coryorth · Jun 04, 2009, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Lol my post got deleted for no reason, nice :P.

As to what I said, I sure hope we get some info on the concepts and some more concepts at that.

GW2 takes place over 250+ years from the first one, so you can safely assume there will be modern concrete cities and newer technology. That concept art that says "Guild Wars" is actually for GW2, if Regina's giant obvious hint wasn't obvious enough for you!
