Opening Cinematic Revealed

[Battlemapsta]

Blizzard just released their opening cinematic for Wrath of the Lich King and it is good

I like how it is very lore oriented.

I think it looks awesome.

I am always baffled at how realistic Blizzard's cinematics look and feel!

Great cinematic.

This one even looks better than the previous ones! They are improving, I hope the game will too.

I think they are finally stopping their destruction of the warcraft lore. I think WotLK will be a major change to the many lore fans like myself.

 

[Cornface]

Yeah, looks like it. But there is more people caring about leet legendary loot than a good lore.

Great Cinimatic? You guys have seen nothing. Take a look at WARHAMMER ONLINE: AGE OF RECKONING's Cinimatic.

GG Blizz, but you need to raise the standard.

great cinematic, and very lore orientated, it brought me back to WC3 a bit.

hopefully the game does just as great a job.

too bad we can't see our favorite characters/class fighting like in the other two though

wanted to see a troll this time around

That is far from having the realism touch of Blizz's cinematic. Indeed, it is more interesting to watch, but quality-like Blizzard wins.

At first I was a bit dissapointed there was no action, but after thinking about it, this cinematic feels like the first, REAL, cinematic. It's not just class/race fighting each other. This one was far more story orientated, and had a much greater "warcraft" feel to it.

I liked it .

 

[Cheesy]

Simply awesome. :thup:

Blizzard was over the standard compared to that one. Theres just not so much fighting on the Wrath of the Lich King one, and you know that. So they're not really comparable in this situation.

Over the standard? Compared to the WAR one? Even by taking realistic factors into decision, the WAR one is way more realistic. The Blizzard one was very simple, does not require as much time, skill, or dedication to make though, not bad but still, it is not as good as you all think it is.

Hey, man, can I let you in on a little secret? This is the WoW Discussion forum. WoW commonly refers to World of Warcraft. Warhammer isn't World of Warcraft. People don't look at these forums to see trailers, gameplay videos, or whatever you can dream up about Warhammer. So keep your little opinions concerning this video to yourself, unless you are going to make a direct critique and not a comparison to Warhammer. KKTHXBYE

Dude, all anyone gets from you is negative comments based on your opinion.

That doesn't make much sense. How can you judge what is more realistic. I'm pretty sure that the warcraft cinematic took far longer to make then the warhammer one. All they had to do in warhammer was show off a bunch of units and what they could do. The warcraft cinematic required much more than that. Nothing in the warhammer cinematic even came close (graphically-wise) to that frost wyrm emerging from the ice. Also, the wc cinematic was in a much higher quality overall.

Hi w/e I don't want to argue with you but I have to this time, the warcraft cinematic took less time to make. There is less graphical animation, textures needed, etc. There is also less enviroment features. Notice in the WoW cinimatic the snow/tundra part looked really cartoonish. Note: I know WoW is aiming towards that look but you get my point.

Now take a look at the WAR cinimatic, it's much more massive, it feels as if you were actually there at the battle. Looking down from the walls, seeing the horde of chaos enemies. And of course this took more time, there are people fighting all over the place, lots more action.

By the way, I judge how realistic things are by looking at their textures, animations, enviroment.

Well, it does look realistic in the environment. I don't think a glacier would have plants and trees .. etc

Then why do you think the WAR one is more realistic? The WoW one has far better texture work, better animations, and the environment looks amazing.

These Blizzard fanboys, no changing them.
