Wild speculation: you will pay to watch the next blizzard CGI cutscenes.

Looks like a bad interpretation of what the CEO was trying to say. It seems to me that the CEO wants to take the cutscenes already in the game, and put them into a package as one movie.

So if you just want to see the cutscenes, you could buy this "movie," rather than having to play the game. You still get cutscenes in the game though.

Didn't Blizzard basically already do this? They sold a box set of the cutscenes for Diablo 1, StarCraft, and WarCraft 3.

 

[OCGuy]

No I won't.

If they made a Startcraft movie in CGI that showed everything from sc1-sc2 i would get that, i mean new stuff not in game. The cut scenes was pretty cool.

But not at the $20-30 they mentioned.

 

[techforums]

Rather just watch them on youtube or load the game and watch it from there.

yes they did, you can get it on amazon. and one comes with the sc2 collectors edition. Not really a big deal unless they remove the Cutscenes from the game and then make you buy them separate. But I don't think even Kotick is that arrogant to try that.

I don't get why would anyone care about cut scenes outside the game. While playing, yes, they have a meaning at least, other than that they'd better go for a full movie, CGI or otherwise. And 20-30 bucks for something you'd probably watch once or twice sounds ridiculous. People can be so dumb!

agreed.

and $20-30 for it? unless they edit to make it into a full movie, not just a series of cutscenes, fuck that.

I doubt I'd buy it anyway because I'm not really that big of a fan of these games. I mean, I like the games, just not that much.

There are lots of blizzard fanboys out there.

I might pay $20 for an hour of totally new content. MAYBE.

MAAAAAAYBE.

No wait, I changed my mind. Don't care enough to pay.

 

[AnonymouseUser]

Would it be possible to get the game without the cut scenes? That would be awesome sauce.

 

[DrunkenSano]

I'll just download it for free.

 

[JujuFish]

On a side note, I'd love to watch a full length CGI movie set in one of Blizzard's worlds like Warcraft.

 

[Grooveriding]

I thought they were making a world of warcraft movie as well ?

I still play some wow now and then, used to play quite a bit more four years ago, but I shudder at the thought of going to a theater playing a wow movie.

Have to watch your step finding your seat, wouldn't want to trip over the costumes of the nutjobs dressed up as elves and dwarves.

And Bobby Kotick is a ****. Never buying another CoD title, ever.

The cutscenes for Blizzard games adds way more to the game then most DLCs companies are releasing nowadays so why not? If you don't think it's worth it just don't buy the DLC.

 

[TecHNooB]

blizzard's cgi has not been impressive lately. and to say that starcraft 2's in-game cutscenes are good is laughable. they were terrible.

 

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

i'd rather just buy the games and record the cutscenes

 

[KMFJD]

lol no

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Huh? What custscenes in Starcraft 2?

The only pre-rendered cutscenes I can recall are the intro custscene, the Kerrigan one, the dark templar one, the last one, and. . . is that it?
