    Best Cinematic

    This has the potential to be an awesome thread. Now I know, just like with movie previews.....especially with movie previews.....a good cinematic does not a game make. But sometimes they are pure awesomeness, like this one:






    Seriously, he makes Deathwing look like a chump.


    So guys and gals, share your fav cinematics-thx!

    Probably needs to be made in the videogames general forum.

    If we're talking trailers, then nothing stands up to Blizzard and SWTOR trailers.

    Say what you want when it comes to your opinions about Blizzard and the directions they went with WoW, but their cinematics are consistently second to none.

    Might have not been the greatest game, but it's still one hell of a trailer/cinematic.

    The first WOW cinematic still gives me goosebumps... THE DRUMS OF WAR THUNDER ONCE AGAIN.

    swtor, starcraft, FF, diablo etc all have amazing vids/cinematics

    Have played FFXIV plenty, and I still let this cinematic play often enough.


    The only wow cinematic that I like is the vanilla one.

    As for the others cinematics... well.. I have seen better random wow pve/pvp videos that are more entertaining.

    too bad people started talking about trailers , oh well.

    Not even a contest. All the tiny ships show up with *pop* *crackle* *bopp*, then the Destiny Ascension goes all "WHAT UP BITCHEEEEES".

    This blew me away when I first saw it. I don't think I've seen anything better in the past few years. Maybe it was the nostalgia lingering from the first StarCraft game.

    Original WoW cinematic is amazing, especially as old as it is.

    Much as I hated the expansion, I thought that the MoP trailer was the most beautifully rendered game cinematic I've ever seen:

    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    One of my favourite trailers (besides literally every WoW trailer) was the DC Universe one, had tons of my favourite characters in it, and Superman was actually cool for once. (yes I understand a lot of it probably didnt make sense)

    Very cool trailer, but not as beautifully rendered as the WoW ones. In a similar vein, though, I liked this one:

    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    I don't think anything can ever come close to the Dead Island trailer. Shame the actual game was nowhere remotely close.

    Game cinematics are always going to be better if you care about the characters or story in them. I don't feel much for all the WoW videos posted.

    I always felt the Armored Core series did a good job for getting you psyched to play the games:



    Pretty good for a game video.
