So, how do you guys like the Eye of the North cinematics?

psycore · Aug 29, 2007, 12:28 AM // 00:28

thumbs up here _b

Just as long as they dont blow their entire budget on a CG intro and then hire a bunch of horrible VA's.

As a boy I spent much time watching these cinematics. Look at them now.

Voltar · Aug 29, 2007, 12:32 AM // 00:32

i especially like 2 things in them...but only when they involve joRa...

Neo Nugget · Aug 29, 2007, 12:33 AM // 00:33

I had to lower the visual quality or else i would crash -.-

BUT even at the lowest visual quality.....i thought the cutscene was the best ive ever seen

Which one? The first one in the cave with the dwarves and barrels?

The new system altogether, with being able to replay them (and the quests!) whenever you want is really awesome.

The cutscenes themselves, as well as the voice actors are top notch. I don't think they could have picked a better Gwen.

Ahhh... I nearly shit my pants when I heard Vekk speak xD

Other than voice acting, what do you like about these cinematics?

Gregslot · Aug 29, 2007, 12:54 AM // 00:54

i like The Brain's voice! ^^
I liked the new light effects
I liked the new "emotes" at the cinematics
I liked that they added voice to the npcs at the outposts
I liked a lot of things, specially when my mesmer (with his awsome armor) kneeled and said "These things usually just need a little concentration"... i mean...holy crap, he sounded so wise and powerful

MithranArkanere · Aug 29, 2007, 12:57 AM // 00:57

I can see them in all languages!
Great!
I wish they add that to previous campaigns, like they did with lip sync.

Diablo™ · Aug 29, 2007, 12:59 AM // 00:59

Jora's cutscene is the best, especially before you acquire her... a very emotional cutscene, even better than Rurik's exit cutscene.

The one with the scrying pool or whatever.

I loved the other ones too.

Vnewbie · Aug 29, 2007, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Scrying Pool = Guild Wars Movie Player :P

Vekk's voice is awesome, but it kinda surprised me when he first spoke. I was expecting Jar Jar Binks. The only part I didn't like was Jora's charge cry into the Nornbear (sounded really REALLY cheesy). But whatever, best part of voice acting was when Gwen pwned that Charr. Best part of the movie itself was Cine 2 when Vekk blows up the gate...BOOM then he comes back wiping his hands lol.

CyberMesh0 · Aug 29, 2007, 01:08 AM // 01:08

The art in EotN altogether is Anet's best yet, and I don't think we've seen the half of it. The cutscenes just accentuate that :-p

Try spanish dubs, you'll see Vekk's 'funny' voice there.

Voice acting is much better than previous releases. Also, A-net made better use of the /emotes better than previous games when using them in the cutscenes. Not sure if I remember seeing any new animations made just for cutscenes though.

bloodvayne · Aug 29, 2007, 05:19 AM // 05:19

Amazing !

Shantel Span · Aug 29, 2007, 05:20 AM // 05:20

I have to mention that EotN has some of the best gestures and emotes in the cinematics - either they're original or npc-only, but they're very very effective compared to whats in Prophecies and such. Rather than a simple /ponder or /agree it appears the movement is carefully thought out. Makes it look real slick. I hope the folks that made that see this.
