Wow, these comments about the cinematics are pretty unacceptable. I mean, seriously, we're not talking cinematics from the mid to late '90s here, like from WarCraft 2 or StarCraft. These are from the early 2000s and still hold up very well. It's fine that they took the trouble to remake the teaser video from the game's original announcement, it looks lovely. But in all honesty, aside from some better textures and movement animation, it doesn't look THAT different from the old video. At the very least I'd like to see an HD treatment so that the old videos look nice on newer computers. Otherwise, for me, the real draw here will be the improved gameplay balancing and in-game graphics, since those are the elements I'll be interacting with 99% of the time I play the game. Most important story elements take place in during actual gameplay or in the opener and closer to the missions anyway. I mean, if you grabbed me and twisted my arm and told me I had to pick a cinematic I wish they'd remake, it might be the slaying of Manoroth, but even then, I just watched that video again a few months ago because I needed to screencap something from it and aside from the low res, it's still amazing. Just give is the Illidan/Arthas fight cinematic as they've already planned to, that sounds promising.
