NC Soft has a trailer introducing the characters in its upcoming role playing game Guild Wars 2. Capturing an RPG with a compelling trailer isn t easy. Footage from even the best them can come across as canned combat and more of the same game play, and highlights such as art style and intricate environments don t necessarily provide great editing material. NC Soft finds a way to maximize the impact of the content at hand to overcome some of those challenges.
The trailer for the Guild Wars sequel is nothing new or groundbreaking. Rather, it s an impressively crafty construction of the usual elements that need to be showcased fanciful characters, fantasy premise, vast environments and playable classes. It also adds a nifty show piece in using animated illustrations to introduce each character, and elevates the overall production quality with first-rate writing and voice acting.
