Throne of thunder cinematic?

[Ninotchka]

I'd love to stuff the people who do the Blizzard game trailers into an alternate universe where time flows faster and force them to churn out Warcraft movies.

As far as patch trailers go there is always one for major content patches. Some of them fail miserably but some of them are awesome. Examples of pure failure would be Thrall's dream about firelands, although visually not terrible but mostly uninspired and boring.

But I think the great ones would be the Akama's voiceover to introduce Black Temple or the siege of Icecrown. I think anybody that was an avid warcraft 3 player / story follower got a good chill of excitement when Arthas says "Let them come! Frostmourne hungers!" If you think those ones sucked I am not sure if you even like this game.

Dragon soul (4.3) was posted on official forums about the same time as realms went down that day...look for 5.2 then

Who exactly are the cinematics embarassing?

You, who has no creative input whatsoever in the process?

Thought so...

why are people always so negative when someone has an opinion that differs from that of their own? granted i think his comment is silly and most of their cinematics i find to be pretty cool it is still his opinion.

The cinematic looks cool. ;P

Really? I think some of them are awesome.

By "embarassing", i don't mean to QQ or something like that. Just that i can't say i like the fact they use game graphics for them, since the pixels make them lose great part of the epicness.
But then again, after playing Skyrim and Mass Effect... those games can indeed afford to make trailers and cutscenes using game graphics; WoW shouldn't in my opinion, because it feels somewhat poor.

It wouldn't be feasible to make full on cinematics like they have for D3 or expansion launches for every major patch. Those things take a loooong time to make. I think they do a good job considering what they have to work with, and it helps to ground them with the game a bit instead of constantly having such high quality cinematics all the time that don't match up with what's in game. Really the only one that's left me feeling let down is the Firelands one, and that's because it focused on Thrall who only had a very minor role to play in that patch, instead of Malfurion and the Avengers of Hyjal who were the main protagonists of that patch.

You made a good point here. But i wouldn't say Firelands' trailer was the "worst"; maybe Arthas' death could have been made with a bit more effort.

Only trailers I saw for Skyrim was either the real action live one, or the one that just showed a wall. One shouldn't be compared with trailers that aren't real action, and the other was terrible. Also, there aren't any cutscenes in Skyrim, only clumsy character dialogues.
