He says it better then me. You simply cannot promise everything and it really seems ArenaNET believes their own BS.
No.. you are just confusing it with GW2 was the first one to bring all those factors into one game... which is more innovative then having carbon copy of WoW with one extra innovation from your list, like RIFT.
The first time I logged into Rift I had to log back out to make sure I didn't accidentally start my WoW client.
GW2 is the first MMO since WoW to live up to its fabled hype.
No, I don't think marketing alone can destroy any game... marketing + hype, that's a completely different beast. GW2 still needs to prove many things, guess we have to wait and see how things turns out
Oh look, a marketing director confidently marketing his game.
Most people seem to have figured out hype is only a 'problem' for games that are essentially average or below.
Charr: Outta my way.
Human: What's your problem?
Charr: Your thin skin.
Your comment would be justified if he was exaggerating or saying outright lies like marketers can do, but how is Lye doing that, can you exemplify?
Don't encourage, please.
huh? I think you think I'm saying something that I'm not. Is marketing a derogatory word in your mind?
one thing... Avatar sucked
sorry Im no fan of overhyped CGI-ed pocahontas
I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them
Yes, that is what we gamers want - sadly we are not the target population. The target population is the Casual gamer who doesn't want anything challenging or even want to think much after they just came home from work. My opinion.
Currently bored with MMO's.
at least gw2 feels more challenging then any other game ive played so far..thats an +1 for me..hope they wont nerf a thing

Hmm yea, who cares who thought of what first? Really, as long as its done well and good I dont care. Although I think they started to think about DE when they were working on the the "Utopia" expansion to GW1. But they realised that all the things they wanted to add would change the game totally and they decided to make a brand new game instead.
I agree with Lye as well, way too many games have jumped on the standard MMO gameplay model. Maybe that is just because I simply dont like that sort of gameplay. It just becomes a grind and grinding in a MMO with boring combat Aka standing still casting spells/ I swung a sword gameplay is not on my list as fun.
Let people that like that combat like it and let those who dont like it play other games. This is why I didnt even consider buying SWTOR after I saw 1 gameplay video. Simply because it was the same old combat. I think more and more people realize how much potential MMOs have combat wise and they just wont bite the bone with another "clone" coming out.
I just hope that the DEs in GW2 will stay fresh and offer something people seem not to care about anymore, fun.
Guild Wars 2 is in a unique position, where all this hype is only going to help them. It's not a typical P2P game that needs a subscription. It just needs to sell the box, that is all. People can piss and moan all they like a month down the road, it's not like you can get back that $60 you already gave them. This isn't your typical MMO where they need to constantly keep the players happy so they can continue getting paid.
Am I missing something here?

BINGO?
I feel an MMORPG b.s. bingo coming up...

Um Rift sucks and was a complete WoW clone. They didn't innovate shit. GW2 devs have allowed people to play the game in beta so we all know exactly how the game works. They don't need to release it. And its okay to make claims you can back up, and they certainly backed up their claims in beta.

I will play no more MMORPGs until somethign good comes out!
Isn't calling a, "Brand Director," a, "Dev," a bit misleading ?
I mean marketing people are promoters not actual developers. Complaining that a marketing executive engaged in marketing is silly.
And he didn't pretend that Rift never happened.
When all has been said and done, more will have been said than done.
Not even that.
The Rifts events are non other than the reskinned version of WAR Public Quests.
Rift is just the perfect WoW clone, which happened to be super polished and that's why it did better then the rest , but certainly it didn't bring any innovation.
Trion pussied out and went for the old tried and tested formula of end game raiding..the rifts are just a novelty that wear off pretty fast, oh and don't get me started on that games quest system, it was torture.
Somehow I think he's mixed up pony with phoney....I understand being butt hurt by SWTOR but a least you where a rebel with a cause
Yeah, I usually assume that people use "marketing" in a derogatory sense, since they can use the word "informing" instead. It is an interview after all, not a commercial.
It will do no such thing.
The only thing that will destroy the game is if it is a poor product. Everything else is secondary.
^ ^ this man speak the truth.
Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language
OP, are you seriously trying to tell me that you're angry over an article about a video game?
