I’m glad they went a different direction this time — they already did the WAR trailer twice.

This could be them trying to get a bit more storytelling into the game. The prior two cinematics were all about players doing stuff. This one is more along the lines of WHY they should do it.

Not sure what I prefer yet :)

It’s the opening cinema… which is designed to get players pumped before playing and to show off the companies prowess at making cutscenes. It isn’t designed to sell anything. They have other, real trailers for that.

I agree that it doesn’t seem to fit with the theme of the trailers and I would rather see something that that involves the players but I won’t deny that is a good cinematic either!

Not as good as WAR’s though.

It does seem like an odd left turn with respect to the prior two cinematics. I get the feeling this is serving the need to make Arthas a greater menace than Illidan ever was.

I’d hesitate to call it a “mistake” since it will not hurt sales in the least. It’s still an awesome cinematic and was very impressive. I also missed seeing the players in the world, but as someone else pointed out, I really doubt this is the only one that will be released.

Even if it is the only trailer, the change of theme from the other two could signify a change in direction. This wouldn’t be a totally bad thing considering how many of the older players were disappointed in how things developed in BC.

Just a couple thoughts I had.

Sorry for the typos. The sinus medication is stronger than I thought! =)
