Man oh man it's looking great. I have no interest in WoW at all, but being a CGI artist and enthousiast this is pretty much as good as it gets. Awesome!

You forgot everyone's favourite, apparently Cataclysms Tier 1 or 2 raid boss which also was the first major challenge for the guilds in early days of Warcraft - Ragnaros! The fluffy ball of flames makes a return as well.John Funk said:
For let it be known, that Metzen can perform miracles beyond our understanding, etc.
Yes WoW counts towards the warcraft cannon. Where Warcraft 3 ended World of Warcraft began. Why would you think any different?mad825 said:
Hmmm... just had a thought... Deathwing's sort of a rivethead... y'know, into that whole body-modification thing. So I wonder, is he into metal or industrial music?
Just a thought...

I loved it! The only thing I worry about is, along with this, and Lich King, we are really setting a precedent. Will there be no more cinematics with the actual Races or content? With Vanilla it was nothing but scenic shots, each giving the races a chance to shine. BC, sure had Illidan, but it featured Blood Elves and Draenei, and even shots of some of the other races in battle.
Lich king, no shots of Death Knights as the player would be playing. None of the existing races in the snowy landscapes. Just Arthas.
Now just Deathwing.
I worry the gnomes will never get their day. =(

Funk, I'mma let you finish, but the Classic intro was the best intro every made.John Funk said:
Yea, WotLK has been my favorite intro so far. The older intros weren't really that engaging because they didn't really do anything other than show off their animations.John Funk said:Eh, in retrospect I find them way too scattered and unfocused. It's PLAYER CHARACTERS! DOING COOL THINGS! AWESOME POSE! VIOLENCE!Plinglebob said:MOAR DOTS!
I really liked the Original/BC Intros. They were more about showing what you will become rather then who you'll be facing ehich I though was way more interesting. They also had a mage turning someone into a sheep so whats not to loveJohn Funk said:
With the WotLK and now Cata intros, they're definitely more cohesive.
There's a powerful and ironic parallel between what Teranas is saying and what Arthas does(i.e. 'I know you'll wield your newfound power responsibly.', Cue Arthas wildly abusing his powers). It actually made you think of something. That's what make the WotLK intro awesome, and it's something this intro is missing.
But it does still show Deathwing doing what he does best - so I'm not complaining.

Everything Classic is so very overrated.Flying-Emu said:
Well, we always knew that we weren't killing Ragnaros, just his avatar in this plane. So I don't have a problem with that. Nef and Ony were dead. But, I suppose they're being brought back as undead dragons, so... I guess that's fine?Keava said:
What does Bobby Kotick have to do with the CGI cutscenes that Blizzard has done in-house for everyone of its games since the early days of Warcraft?Soviet Heavy said:
You might be right but i felt it looked like they were re-armoring deathwing, i mean he's been armored for a while now, i think it was adamant he was clad in. Then he disappeared for a long time. i feel like the entire cinematic is meant to take place recently. So it looks to me like he's getting some shiny new metal scales.icame said:
