Yes, this is the intro for World of Warcraft. Blizzard has some of the most talented CG artist in the world. I've posted it in software, but its so amazing and most of you dont get in there.... I just wouldnt want ya to miss it. 😉
 
That was pretty sweet. Too bad the game is nothing like that...

Blizzard should make a movie. As long as they keep the budget fairly low, I imagine it would be pretty profitable.

Because it worked so well for Square-Enix. 😛

Yea, I agree. They tell a much better story too, so if the story is good....it would do better than Final Fanstaty, the movie.
 
The story telling so far in WoW has been really good. I haven't gotten into the books but the lore seems very rich and deep. A very big plus in my book.

Well, the trick is to make a movie that doesn't suck. I'm fairly sure Blizzard could manage that. Their stories are actually interesting.

Seeing how poorly square did (and I liked the FF movie), blizzard will probably be too scared to try it. Between the game industry and hollywood, there aren't many real risk takers...

FF was an okay movie, but it would have been way cooler if it just followed the story of one of the games. It didnt feel like final fantasy.
 
wow.. Very rarely do I see a promotional video and say "Man that looks stupid". Well, I just lost all interest in WoW after watching that.

The storyline was interesting, but not up to par with the Final Fantasy name.

Have you guys seen the previews for the latest FF movie coming out? It does follow the theme and is AAHHMAZING!
 
Wow that was an awesome trailer.... too bad I hate MMORG or whatever they are called. Cant believe people are willing to pay monthly fees. to each his own...
 
Yeah some of those scenes reminded me of LOTR for some reason. It would be cool to have a full movie in the same fantasy genre.
 
Watched the movie today at work..... knocked my socks off.

I agree that it's kinda odd since the game graphics aren't even similar to the movie graphics.... but then again, Blizzard has always had great CG movies no matter what their graphics for the game look like. I have always looked forward to their CG cut scenes.

Also... while I understand the "fear" of others to follow Final Fantasy, I do think that Blizzard is better at story telling and could relate more to an American audience. I think Final Fantasy made the mistake of not just going (at least loosely) by the Final Fantasy VII story. I think that their story was a little to "Japanese" as well... focusing on saving the planet and all is very common in anime.... but we American's aren't that interested in conservation and the lifeforce of the planet (generally speaking).

Blizzard would put out a more traditional fantasy movie.... and with amazing animation. Cost would be huge if they made it all the quality of that trailer. MMORPG's are cash cows.... so they can afford to make several minutes like that (I think that's gonna be the opening movie for the actual game... but I could be wrong).... but a whole movie would cost a ton.
