I like it.

Oh God Deathwing. :cry:

Such horrible Warcraft 2 memories.

EPIc like always whats mroe to be said.

Deathwing looks like he needs a hug.ferret-gamer

needs gnomesredbaron3

Why does blizzard hate gnomes so?

Quite epic. Not as good as WoTLKs cinematic, but still good.aaronmullan

WOW :shock:

gotta love blizzards CGI, defently the best at it

I guess it wasn't as epic as wrath but still not bad, CGI seems to have gone downhill a little since the first one from WoW... JohnF111

Looks better than Crysis to me./troll.

epic stuff.

i always liked how Blizzard can make CGI trailers epic without actually using any legit action scenes, like WOTLK and this one for example

Alright trailer I guess.YuriSH

CG is supposed to be about visual because games can't give that, so visual>action.

[QUOTE="YuriSH"]Alright trailer I guess.Ravenchrome

Starcraft 2 CG is visually inferior to this one as well, regardless of the action.

I liked it better than the Wrath one. Really awesome cinematic and I can't wait for Cataclysm!

[QUOTE="YuriSH"][QUOTE="Ravenchrome"] Because it has no fighting scene right? Gimme a break, it's visually on par with some Hollywood movies and that's what matters the most.

I hope Deathwing doesn't just kick the bucket like arthas did. He's way to huge and powerful to just wait in a tower and go down like a wuss.

Wouldn't it be awesome if somehow the last raid is in a major city and you have to fight off a massive attack?

[QUOTE="Ravenchrome"]

[QUOTE="YuriSH"] The visuals are on point, yes. It's just the trailer didn't do anything for me so I thought it was alright. Maybe if I knew anything about the Warcraft lore it'd would of been better but I don't.YuriSH

About the visual though,

What's really differentiate Blizzard's CG and other's like Square or Blur is the Visual. A few notch higher.

Very cool. Anyone knows what is the story behind it? Don't know much about the warcraft world. Who's the pissed off dragon that is destroying the world?

THE CG has gotten better over the years.

Wrath of Lich King CG has more details than Vanilla and BC.

The animation is a lot more fluid and better, the particle effects are superior and the texture, background environments are much better.

This one is on par with Lich King.

Worst Cinamatic of the series of intros, bland, uninspired, took no chances, his context was ridiculous, if hes capable of that, as some have already stated why not nuke everything down instantly, takes his power way out of context within the games world breaking the immersion of its story telling. Though its insanely well done. CGI has come a long way.Birdy09

He does destroy things. Orgrimmar is totally destroyed and half of stormwind is rubble.

Good animation and art design, but it seemed kinda lame. Probably just because it's for a really goofy MMO and that it didn't tell any story other than RAWR IM A DRAGON AND IM BAD COME KILL ME. Pretty generic other than the visuals.

BC still has the best intro, but it's okay. I think I'd care more if I still played WoW.

Was on par for typical quality CGI production but not nearly as well done or witty as the WOTLK intro imo. I just loved the chilling irony and music in that one. I do admit though the premise of Deathwing scarring the surface of Azeroth and reshaping the landscape does make me want to boot up my account for a few more months.

Anyway was that Stormwind Deathwing as perched on in the closing scene? They so can't show that without having major desctruction in the human capital in game!

Deathwing is a Baller in that video.

Also, the BC one is random and lack of any direction. Why the polymorph? Naga get sliced in two? Plus, Illidian is not a prominent bad-ass in BC as Arthas is in WotLK.

Cataclysm is supposed to be about DeathWing and the reshaping of Azeroth more than about races and classes. In that sense, this 2mins cinematic captures the essence.

BC graphics has been matched by Blur's cinematics but WotLK hasn't been equaled by Square Enix and Blur in terms of graphical realism.

This one takes it a few notch higher.

Don't believe me? Try comparing shot by shot of the Deus Ex: HR trailer/FF XIII CG/SWTOR CG with This one or WotLk. Try to look at the attention to details, texture,matte painting,etc. The BC one is equaled by them, but Sc2, WotLK and Cataclysm is still ahead in terms of visual.

Also, The Marine CG Intro for Sc2 is 5million polygons. I mean the model. (that's 2007)

This one? I know not.
