    And here I thought: “Ooh a blizzard trailer! This will be a feast for the eyes!”

    It’s not. It’s a slideshow.

      Well they’ve been doing these style cinematics a couple of expansions already. I quite enjoy the story set-ups through these.

        I didn’t know that. Never really was into wow. I’m still hoping for a return to RTS for warcraft. But that’s probably not going to happen.

          Closest thing they did was a WarCraft 3 remake a few years ago, but it wasn’t really well received. I think mostly because of reasons other than the actual remake, since they forced the original game to be part of the new launcher and altered the original game.

          I wouldn’t expect a new WarCraft RTS anytime soon though. They got 3 expansions planned for WoW, so it’d be hard to fit in an RTS that would take place around the same story/theme without making it an alternate timeline kind of thing.

          Yeah the cinematic wow team is amazing. They haven’t been as good lately, mainly because the main wow storyline now is kinda garbage, but go watch the Warbringers: Jaina cinematic, which came out for the BFA launch. Same art style, hits hard.
