...they really know how to make CG...goddamn.
Shame its for an 8 year old game.

Probably the only good thing that is going to come of this is this trailer

Eight years? I thought it was seven. BTW, you forgot an apostrophe.

Have you played the beta? While the game as a whole is nearly 8 years old, the graphics of this latest expansion are the most beautiful yet. I'm frickin excited!

[edit]

They are just pandaring. No more expansions - they need to fix the game it was an awesome game now full of suck. They need to better incorporate prior expansions and leave it at that.

Pun intended?>> ^shagen454:

amazing CG.
But I can't help but get the feeling that this is Kung Fu Panda 3.

And by the way Blizzard... Seriously? You can't reach into your pockets and grab 150 million dollars or so, and just create a damn feature length movie already? It's not like you don't have the money, and it's not like it wouldn't make more than enough money back.

I must be a humbug. But I thought this trailer sucked.

I don't get why I should care about anything happening in it.

The two warships duking it out followed by orcs vs humans made me nostalgic for Warcraft 2.

I liked it because it wasn't about a single big baddie that we have to all gear up to meet at the end of the expansion like ALL the other expansions.

You gonna play this expansion?

I'm on the fence, still. If they finally update the player models, that will put me over the edge and I'll play again. Otherwise, I dunno... hard sell.

If WoW would just adopt the Buy to Play model like Guild Wars 2 I would come back (if they kept the price low, say $30...$40 tops for this expansion as I've got the ones before it). With Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, trying learn DOTA 2 and LoL and the host of Free to Play stuff, it is getting harder to justify the monthly fee. I liked Cataclysm, and I would be all over this, but money is too tight to waste when there are high quality titles out there that are buy to play or free to play. I predict an uptick in subscribers for a few months then the continual bleed of subscribers to other titles... though they'll still be king of the hill as even if they drop to 6 or 8 million by this time next year, they'll still be ahead of everyone else... I'll wager around 7 million left, around 5 or 6 million they might start thinking of making the move to another business model to test it out for Titan and get the bugs of the model worked out. I think Blizard's high quality justifies a Buy to Play over the Free to Play model...

As to the movie. Sam Raimi was slated to direct it, and may still be producing a part of it... last I heard Charles Leavitt was taking over the script and then they were going to call for a new director.

That or Kung Fu panda was written by a guy who saw the Pandarans in Warcraft 3 and decided to make a movie about that. Let's check the timeline.

But yeah, why the hell did they decide to go with a live action WoW movie when they are themselves brilliant at CG. Square made the transition to movie making. . . it was a miserable failure, but still.

This would have been infinitely better with the addition of Jack Black.

meh

Well technically they got king of the hill taken away by a completely free to play game that you don't even have to buy. League of legends soared past them in active monthly users last November and they haven't slowed down. There was an article on forbes about this time last year where LoL had double the amount of monthly gameplay hours. I think WoW is finally dying.>> ^RFlagg:

Seriously? They've jumped the panda. This is the beginning of the final ending of WOW.

I hate this stupid game but I have to admit this trailer was amusing.

As much as I think Pandas are fucking stupid, this trailer is brilliant. Maybe even better than the Wrath of the Lich King trailer. Love the slight comedy, and the very stylistic human and orc. Their cinematics are getting more stylistic now too, as opposed to diablo 3's more realistic style. This suits them better.
