Maplestory 2 Cinematic Trailer

What made Maplestory... Maplestory was the whole 2D thing. Now? It's just a generic F2P MMO.
Too bad they didn't stick to 2D for this. blah.
 
Game is almost surely going to be nothing like this trailer. I hope it's good though, cause I really enjoyed MS back in the day and wouldn't hesitate to play another MMO.

It not being 2d is sort of sad, now its probably gonna look like dragon nest. Any way I'll still check it out just because its maple, but I stopped playing nexon f2p games a long time ago; they are never worth it unless you sink in a ton of money.

Cool CG graphics...

Hoo boy, after spending ~$2000 on KMS and MS Global I thought I hit the limit. Now I want to try this game out...God dammit.

Hyperrealistic backgrounds with that kind of characters looks weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird... Also dubstep, lol.

Anyway, this could end up the same way as Ragnarok 2...
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
those are some pretty interesting theif and warrior class types. hoping its not 2.5 d, but then again, this is nexon.
 
Meh, I was a fan of the first one back before it became a cashshopfest (Priest class, bruhhh). I'll try it, but I don't really care for cinematic trailers like this.
 
It always amazed me how this franchise and Starcraft were so much more popular in Korea than anywhere else. I guess its similar to how successful COD is in the states?

Well it's still doing ok in the states. Hard to say that for most mmos. It also and runescape are pretty much the guilty party of free 2 play games in the west.

MapleStory was basically a chatroom where you occasionally push the spacebar before typing "STAY AWAY FROM MY MOBS" inbetween getting a nice hat or shoes.

The most boring and unimaginative game I've ever played. PVP miiiiight make it interesting.

If I've learned anything from Maplestory trailers it's that nothing in them is necessarily going to be in the game. I just I really hope they go back to the anime-style trailers, those were the best.
For the people mentioning PVP, it's pretty likely to be in the game since they have in it in Maple 1 (though it sucks).

I haven't watched the video as yet but there's something weird about this statement.
The people who are normally interested in these types of games probably don't have computers more powerful than a dual core cpu and some very outdated budget card. Hence, you wont see standards (like getting those graphics in the CG) for mainstream PC users in likely 10 years or more.

As for PS4, yeah I expect certain visual effects to be possible on the console minus the massive rendering time needed for IQ, Geometry, physics etc.

Cool trailer, but ye.. maplestory appeal to me at least was it being 2d.

Used to play it a long long time ago and enjoyed it.

Sweet Jesus, I love that trailer.

I believe Wizard101 is also very popular in the US.

Looked like a generic French cartoon. It's been ages since I last played MS, but this certainly isn't grabbing me.
 
Ooh maple story the amount of grinding you needed to do post lvl 30 was just insane.
And going from lvl 65 to 93 on zombies only because of best exp+gold/hour was just insane.

And now you level so fast that you don't get enough money to upgrade your gears >.<
 
Hold on. Is the trailer suggesting that we spam more than 1,maybe 2 skills and that there is something to do besides farming? Pfff, MS has gotten convoluted these days.

seriously, all I remember about the game was holding shift.
