We gotta hand it to the team. Cinematic - both in-game, CGI 3D and 2D - are the best thing to happen from BFA. Say what you want about the game, but this is objectively beautiful. I'll miss you Saurfang.
If there's something you complaint about in BfA, are the cinematics.
These are really Blizzard's finest.
Almost 24 minuts of pure soy and treason disguised as honor and wish for better future.
Man, tell me why we still don't have a Warcraft movie like this? In just ONE expansion we got 23min of pure top level CGI that, in my opinion, no other company has ever produced.
Glad he's dead but hope we get more of this type of content. Always wondered why WC3 got like 9 cinematics but WoW would only get 1 per expansion.
To see the whole thing is definitely more touching than watching each part with so much time in between. On the other hand you notice how much cliche overdose the whole story got. I might have enjoyed it if they didn't sacrifice 2 of the very few interesting horde characters for it(only other being Rexxar).
Exactly. This was put together by regular staff at blizz that handles this kind of stuff. It wasn't some special project, and likely took that employee an afternoon to finish. It's also laughable the notion that what someone perceives to be "BFA's problems" could be solved by just diverting money. Things don't quite work that way.
I mean... you're comparing apples to oranges. The CGI effort that goes into these cinematic isn't cheap and takes quite some time to do. I wish they had done some more of these back in WOTLK, could you image some more cinematics like the lich king opening one where he summons Sindragosa from the ice and rallies the undead?
''they should make a movie out of this!''
Its not like we had a 2 hour movie costing $160 million that apparently no one except China liked to watch. Now imagine making a movie with this expensive CGI and bomb just as bad :P
What makes me sad about this is that all this effort, work and time went into making these great CGs, yet they chose to focus on Sadfang. Not Tyrande and Genn debating Darkshore and how to strike it. Not Azshara making plans with Sylvanas for Nzoth's revival. Not Magni trying to work with the Dragons and Mother to save Azeroth. Not Jaina in the Blighted Lands working through her hypocrisy. Not Anduin revealing he has a setting other than Moral Arbiter of Good.
Nope. The Chronicles of Sadfang and his quest for non-honour and an Unified Horde and Alliance as decreed by Anduin Wrynn.
I loved watching this again! The cinematic department is top notch.
