That cinematic is badass! First time since Illidan that they've had a villain that has had some serious "oomph" to him. Arthas was cool, but didn't have the same unbridled rage they gave Garrosh and Illidan. awesome!!
Nope. Not a joke. Pixar isnt as big as you think it is. As for how big blizzard's cinematics department is, I was told it was larger by a few inside sources. Until I see otherwise I will take them for their word. Blizzard as a studio is just massive. The quality in art between pixar and blizzard are night and day. If you…
I used to play WoW pretty damn intensily, it was probably the best gaming experience I have ever had in my life and I dont think anything will ever capture that again for me. I quit about a year and a half ago but upon watching this cinematic i immediately pre-ordered the collectors edition. I know I wont get back into the…
Kind of amused. Apparently you can get to the area where the cinematic takes place and if you straighten the candle holder that the Orc used as a weapon you get an achievement. Looking forward to getting the collectors edition so I can zone out on the art book and soundtrack.
The size of Blizzard Film Dept is pretty easy to guage from the Cinematics credits. But, as someone who works in the Dept, I can assure you it is nowhere close to 1000. It's less than 200 (don't have an exact number). Some of that is devoted to real-time cut-scenes as well.
Blizzard's cinematics department is actually larger and apparently better equipped than pixar's so it shouldnt be a surprise. Also there is a Warcraft movie in the works, live action though. Supposed to be a trilogy. Legendary Pictures has the motion picture rights. Last I heard the script is getting a re-write.
I haven't played in years, but just the mention of a Blizzard cinematic trailer should give you a boner. (don't see it posted) [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvYXoyxLv64"]World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Cinematic Trailer - YouTube[/ame] They seem to have taken a more light-hearted approach to this one and I…
Blizzard's cinematic dept doesn't do just pre-rendered, they do realtime cutscenes too and pretty much everything else that's not direct gameplay animations. So not all of the people are really working on pre-rendered goodness. But, yes, they're big too from what I Heard and Blizz is indeed huge.
Ok, so I might come off as over-analyzing or whatever and with somewhat stretching conclusions but it seems to me that the WoW cinematics seem to have a theme based off of a certain feeling in each expansion intro; - The Lich King intro was all blue'ish and somewhat sad with the king talking about how his son would become…
