Loading ...ArenaNet shows us how they made the first Guild Wars 2 cinematic. After viewing the storyboard they turn them into an animatic. Once that is complete the developers need to approve it and then its passed to the illustrators. Finally, it gets turned into the amazing cut-scenes you see in game. All cut-scenes in game are in real-time and not pre-rendered! This means any weapons or armor you have will be brought into the cut-scenes.

The cast includes actors such as Troy Baker, as none other than our own Logan Thackeray of Divinity's Reach, Steve Blum, as Rytlock Brimstone of the Black Citadel, Felicia Day, as the feisty Zojja of Rata Sum, and Kari Wahlgren, as Caithe of the Firstborn. For some reason, we never got to see who Eir's voice actor was.

They show how lots of the sound effects have many randomized filters to ensure realistic sounds are consistently unique. They don't talk about the voice acting or music in the game, but it's still a good, quick look at how all of the sound effects and ambient sounds come together.
