Pit

Don't get me wrong, any news from Arenanet is good news, but i'm hungry for some solely gameplay based videos; just someone running around the map being screen-captured, fighting monsters and working with team-mates.

5 minutes of that would be enough to get us by for months! show us someone fending off a "dragon attacking a bridge"

I still have no idea who I want to use race-wise.

I want to lean away from humans, no doubt there will be a huge number of players who'll stick to this race rather than branching out.

The norn look cool but, again, there will be a lot of kids who want to play as the literally 'cool' super-strong, super-powered version of human. i think that for a race based on 'wisdom' we'll really see some irony going with the player base for the norn.

Sylvari will be interesting. i used an elementalist as my main throughout GW1 and i can guess that re-creating that character would work nicely under sylvari blood but i think we'll have to see the armor sets and character model choices first. i dont want the entire wardrobe to be 'leaves and roots'.

Charr will definitely be intriguing, as will the asura. honestly though i think that they will be the racial minorities among players even if they're coming into power in the story. if i choose either to play as, they will be under secondary characters.

in all, i think the size of the races will look this way:
human > norn > sylvari > charr > asura

anticipating more news sooooonnnnn, cant wait to hear from Anet!

was that a joke?

i was just this morning at my local EB and saw FFXII for $38 it wasnt even a pre-owned copy!!!

i dont doubt FFXII was a hit in japan but the fun ended at FFX...that was the last game i bought from the FF franchise (i did pick up KH2 though)

to be honest playstation is doing a sega on us...i wouldnt be surprised if next generation theyre down to making third party games for xbox. the only reason sony havnt gone under yet is because the PS2 still has some legs left in it. the PS3 = a PS2 on blu-roids.

i've been getting different answers from everyone (in australia)

local EB: april
another EB: no release
official pal releases: 3rd quarter

on the whole translating thing. its crap, most of the jap game is in english and i doubt any translations etc wouldnt be any different. its all part of nintendos strategy to milk as much money out of us globally as possible so they have to hold it off from somewhere and since jap is NTSC and where all the good games are made they have to release them there first...which means all PAL regions are last... which means we get screwed over every time

if it was released worldwide no one would buy nights or zack and wiki...in fact i didnt even know about Z&W at all until i saw it on the net so even that is unreleased here..

im guessing the whole june 1st thing WAS the release date which some retard nintendo employee accidentally put up, which is why theyre covering it all over. so anywhere between late may and august would make sense

to be honest we have like 30 games out for the wii in most stores and even with so little games, the wii and ds are both sold out mid february from back before christmas. if sales keep going the way they are nintendo will hold SSBB off as long as possible

-online play WILL be included...its on the site

-all controllers WILL be available to use...even GC (though motion sensing will be limited/ not used...i think its better they left it out anyway...lowers the hight of gameplay)

- third party characters are in it (ie. snake) though sonic was almost ruled out by the production team...

its gonna be great!
