Guild Wars: Alpha compared to Final.

[Korten12]

So in the new video: ArenaNet Retrospective, I noticed some alpha screenshots of Guild Wars One, wow... look at the difference... (GW was released in 2004, so GW graphics were good at the time, but the alpha...)

Spoiler: Alpha

Spoiler: Final

What do you guys think?

Those alpha shots are hilarious. Their Blizzard roots are showing. Looks so much like WoW's style. I am trying to figure out where they are standing in the last 2 pics.

I think thats pretty damn sexy, still looks better than wow.

 

[Savagezion]

I think thats pretty damn sexy, I really want a release date.

That is GW 1 graphics, it is out.

That was GW 1, not 2.
Edit: Damn, ninja'd!

Oh, I thought it looked familliar, I even own all the expansions. >.<

As I said in the last thread I am so glad they changed it. It looks way too much like a WoW clone from an art stand point. I am glad they took a some what unique route than that. The houses and terrain were god awful but then again it was Alpha and this is the sorta the reason why we have alphas and betas.

How did you forget something like that. XD

 

[Davey Woo]

I think it's interesting that the main graphics have changed pretty drastically, but the icons for the skills haven't changed at all.

Alpha's males are identically sized.

"Guild Wars! The only game in 2005 that you will see every man sporting bowling-ball shoulders"

Yeah, luckily its not like that for GW2.

Damn, that Alpha version "Dark Bond" looks like it would be fun in game.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Much as like WoW now after Cataclysm, I still think that Guild Wars looks way better.

And if GW2 delivers on even half the things its promising, I'm pretty sure WoW will gather dust again for me.

 

[Layzor]

Crackin' build she's got.

Though that version of dark bond looks awesome.
