Dreams Of A Guild Wars 1 Remaster

🫘What if they remastered Guild Wars 1? What would it include, would it be worth it? (Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know. Hopium.)

I suppose it was inevitable that if I'm: 1. Replaying Gw1 at the moment, and 2. Watching a bunch of video game remaster streams and videos at the same time, that this video was going to be made!

Edit: Oh a note I never put in the video. But it always astounded me that I got like 200, 000 views on a random-nothing Gw1 video, years and years after the game was finished, when I covered the fact that they did an absolutely tiny little patch increasing the view distance. If that doesn't show to some degree the hunger for a project like this that's out there I don't know what does.

Jeremy Soule really created a masterpiece on gw1 especially prophecies

[SenBololo]

While I’ve loved my time with gw2, nothing will ever come close to gw1 for me. Playing every night after school and every weekend for hours, gw1 was a massive part of my life. Words do not describe how fast I’d jump all over a remaster.

I NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST.

Brain legit just read "Guild Wars 1 Remaster" and my heart skipped a beat.

I was trying out WoW Classic Season of Discovery around Christmas, had never played WoW so thought that was a good opportunity to finally give it a go. My main takeaway was how awesome it would be if ANet made a GW1 Classic. I think I’d cry if they came out and announced it, with some proper quality of life improvements.

I would pre-order the Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Edition day 1 if they announced this.

It’s been over well a decade now, don’t even game anymore really but I can’t get this game out of my head. The magic of this game is unmatched

GW1 really was ahead of its time in so many ways.

I can't help but notice the difference in overall art direction and design in GW1 vs GW2.There is a certain elegance to GW1 that got lost somewhere along the way in the transition to GW2. I honestly don't know if I trust modern Anet to do the old GW1 art style justice.

this video is such a coinsidence. played gw1 ALOT. didnt play it for 12 year. and 3 days ago i decided to do a whole new playtrough starting from propechies, my partner joined me who never played gw. and damn are we having a blast.

I still prefer GW1 buildcraft. I'd play!

A Guild Wars remaster and/or continued development of the original game would be incredible!

[BergilSunfyre]

Little things I'd like to see in a remaster-
1- Wardrobe, like in Guild Wars 2. So if there are multiple armor sets you like, you don;t have to take up storage space on them, nor buy multiple runes.
2- a bestiary. Once you slay a monster, you can look up its stats (which you yourself would have liked to make more visible), skills, and some lore about it.
3- new sidequests, particularly in regions that don;t have vent many, such as the southern Shiverpeaks. This probably be cheap, as there would be few if any new assets.
4- a boulder elemental boss named "Boldest Elemental".

This is exactly what my entire family, who started playing GW1 in March 2005 is doing right now! After dealing with the jumped-shark storyline of #2, this is wonderful

[jorisdevos]

This is the biggest dream for me. Arenanet PLEASE

A Guild Wars remaster? I'd be down for that :) At least they wrote a cohesive story with characters that made sense...

[LordAllelujah]

I would love this to happen, so much. Got back to gw1 few weeks ago and I honestly wonder why I ever left.

[ewancuthbertson]

I think in a dream world Anet would announce a GW1 prophecies remaster at the end of this year for release in April 2025, 20 years after the original release. I doubt it will ever happen though like you said.

It would be fun to have everyone start from the beginning in Ascalon City and they just go through the game like they did in 2005 obviously with the knowledge of 20 years of playing the game.

[socialismeqc]

If they remastered GW1 I would buy it without hesitation. I've been dying to re-experience the campaigns with random human groups. And once that's done, to find a guild and grind the end game content.

[DocM]

I took advantage of the recent sales and bought the gw1 complete collection. As a gw2 player that never touched the original game, i'm having a blast with it even if it's a very different playstyle. Going into places that you know from the sequel but now you see them completely different yet familiar from 250 year prior is an insteresting feeling. A remaster of gw1 would be amazing!

[moenbase]

Wooden goes back to the real game: Guildwars. Can't skip that! Take care!
