keep thinking this thread might contain news about GW2 but its just info about GW1.

It would make lots of sense for this thread to be left alone for GW2 info, and make a separate GW1 thread.

Nothing to worry about I'd expect.

What are the system requirements for Guild Wars 2?
The system requirements haven't been finalized, but just as with the original Guild Wars series, we're committed to creating a beautiful game that will play great on mid-range gaming PCs.

What's mid-range though

From the GW site itself: The system requirements haven't been finalized, but just as with the original Guild Wars series, we're committed to creating a beautiful game that will play great on mid-range gaming PCs.

Guild Wars 1 was the same, they are just clever with their art style, to get it looking very nice on very modest systems. I used to run GW1 at full, and my system was nothing special. But it was still ahead of it's time in terms of MMO Graphics IMO.

Edit: Beaten like a ginger stepchild.

Some of the huge dragon boss-fights look like a system hog, can't imagine a dual core keeping up with 'em.

right, so the developers have created content the majority of the customers cannot play, the boss fights look fine.

yea lets stick to playing console ports forever with no progression in gaming graphics and gameplay :rolleyes:

Dual core will be fine, pfft.

I can't wait for this too, why is there so many good games coming out in the next couple months and there after!

bushmins · 22 Sep 2011 at 20:14

I have great trust in their capabilities as programmers, story writers and just about everything else that is needed to make THE GREATEST GAME EVER!

As someone who purchased Guild Wars on day of release and who is still playing it today, I can't wait for Guild Wars 2 to be released. It looks amazing.

Pretty much the whole game is soloable, and after all these years it's still one of the best MMOs out there. Do it!

Clearly you never played GW1

Arenanet have some of, if not the best developers, story writers, and graphics designers in the business, fully capable of making a highly efficient and fantastic looking engine.

And this isnt just hype, I'll google some of them up in a min.

Arenanet's art / graphics director - Daniel_Dociu
Arenanet's story / lore writer - Ree Sosebee
Arenanet's music composer - JEREMY SOULE!!!

There is absolutely no way that this game is going to fail with those three behind all the artwork.
