Yesterday I discovered that there are new cinematic trailers available for the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion and for Warhammer Online. Most of you are probably already aware that the trailer to Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is my favorite video game cinematic of all time, but this new Warhammer Online video comes close. In fact, if you haven't seen these yet, I would recommend watching the World of Warcraft one first, just because the Warhammer one is so far superior that the Warcraft video, though impressive in its own right, will seem boring in comparison.
While we're here, I thought I would run through some of my other favorite video game cinematics:
You already know it's coming, so let's start with the Amerigo video from Starcraft.
On the topic of Starcraft, my other favorite video from the game was the intro video to Brood war.
Warcraft 3 also had some excellent cinematics, most notably the human ending and orc ending.
Diablo's cinematics were never as good, somehow, but this one from Diablo 2, featuring a fight between the Wanderer and Tyrael, is okay.
The opening cinematics to the original Dawn of War and the upcoming sequel are both very impressive.
And the opening cinemat of what would have been Starcraft: Ghost wasn't bad, either.
I'm sure we've all already seen the trailer to Starcraft 2, but have you seen this meeting between Raynor and Zeratul? (Not a true cinematic, but still cool)
I realize that all of these are either for Warhammer games or Blizzard products. What can I say? They do seem to have the best cinematics.
