Though I dont play WoW, that looks amazine. The detail is excellent, and I can tell that frost wyrm would be an extremely hard monster to beat for even the strongest parties.
Unimpressed. It was pretty good, the "flashback" king's words were certainly MUCH better than "you are not prepared", but imo the WAR trailer was better. Especially since it actually showed something from the game >.>
"It was incomplete. You're right. Where players come in is facing that army and moving the story forward. For me the most beautiful thing about the cinematic is the heartbreaking dichotomy between Arthas' fathers hopes and dreams for Arthas and what Arthas inevitably becomes. The cinematic sets the stage, it (hopefully) catches people up a bit on just how tragic the situation is, how deeply ingrained the power of the Lich King is, and how it has spread out like icy tendrils to corrupt everything it touches. This is the stage, this is Arthas, and ultimately, this is the Lich King in all his power set out before you. For me, I think it is the cinematic I have been most waiting for and most love." Pretty much sums it up tbh, you either love it because it is filled to death with story (unlike the warhammer online trailer, which was just fancy fighting + showcase of classes - i loved it btw ;P) or you hate it because it wasnt crazy ass fighting and bloooooood/action
Neither, I said it was good and I liked the "dichotomy" (w/e that means), but I don't love it. Maybe it has something to do with me hating Arthas, or the fact that the words 'world of warcraft' and 'story/lore' don't connect in my brain anymore, dunno. If you take it from the story's point of view, it does it really well, as described in your quote. It also shows some of Arthas' army and ofcourse - Arthas, your main goal in the expansion. Too bad I couldn't care less at this point
Arthas is a little whiny emo kid that got all offended when he found out about the plague. :\ But simply another beautiful cinematic from Blizzard.
There's a Warcraft movie... :\ Edit: Going to be. And a Gears one. And apparently a God of War one. Throw Halo on the list... Uhhhhh...
Yeah because God of War and Halo are just that awesome... That's retarded. At least WarCraft has an extended plotline capable of supporting a movie. Halo and God of War do not. But I can still think of one better plot line... StarCraft *****!
Warcraft I'm going to see just for the fact that it's Warcraft and Blizzard related, because I'm a fan. I'll see the Halo one since I have played through all the Halos. The God of War one will be interesting to see how it goes down. The Gears of War one I'm very concerned about, because it'll either be amazing, or terrible. It won't be okay. A Starcraft movie would be magnificent, but an amazing director would have to do it.
The guy that plays House would be perfect, if he wasn't a bit too old. I could see Simon Pegg being Gordon.
But HL2 was already played out so much in the game. Half the damn game was cinematics. StarCraft has so many holes in the story to be told. You only drop in like once every so often on the plot line before going back into missions. What would be really hilarious would be a movie in a parallel to Ender's Game. Where they flash back and forth between some Korean guy controlling this massive battle and then they go to the actual battle taking place like he's controlling it and he doesn't know it. So awesome... Good way to get SC game footage in there too. *Buy now for 16.99!*
What pisses me off is that they announced the movie wouldnt cover any of the stuff covered in the previous games/lore. Throw out the ashbringer storyline, the WHOLE arthas thing, which is like the largest event since war of ancients, aswell as battle of mount hyjal.. gg! regardless i hope blizzards cinematic team help out with the movie, i REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DO NOT want to see some cheesy 12A bull**** lotr rip off please.
OMG! That was sweeeeetttt.... Looks so good... ahhhh... I have a wow account but do not play. Makes me want to though... And a warcraft movie..... ahhhhhhhhh... my chest will explode... if it looks anything like that i will fall in love... just like i will with starcraft 2.... ahhahahaha... no way gahhhhhhh.... So pumped right now!
