My favourite part of this trailer is that it actually makes the playerbase feel like the focus in the game. It is their story and it is the world that shares this experience. Really makes the game feel like a community.
I'd love it if he made a machinema for every expansion. It makes the game feel more real and less gamey. Like, this is how it would have looked contextualised.
The reason I love these cinematics/trailers he makes so much is because it feels like the entire world is rallying against each threat, every trailer has literal armies fighting instead of 20-40 people fighting a few enemies and killing each boss alone. The trailers give it that feel of thousands of people rushing the Black Temple or Ahn'qiraj and just death running the bosses until they are overwhelmed moreso than a crack team of champions.
well, how about the original Black Temple cinematic remastered by another youtuber. Go search Black Temple trailer remaster. Thats basically blizzard cinematic but remastered by someone else.
All of the player’s characters had their armor and weapons completely randomized… That’s why most of their builds don’t make any sense! But still the trailer looks badass!
What I personally love most about these is that no one character stands out (with very few exceptions). It's hundreds or even thousands working together. That's what makes an mmo. Being one amongst many to achieve a common goal. Rising to prominence through achievement and not because the game tells you. Not the "chosen one" bs we get fed over the last few expacs (level boosted character btw).
The Black Temple model of sand on the table in the center of all the players was (IMO) 100% inspired by Archimonde when he made a sand model of Dalaran (which he used to destroy Dalaran).
A little correction if I may be so bold (unless you were joking ofc). The orc in the beginning simply has a regular old corrupted ashbringer but it's been so long people have forgotten it's just a regular two-handed sword dropped from a boss in naxxramas. His other items are a T1 helmet from Molten Core and Conqueror shoulders from Ahn'Qiraj. Bonus for the people that keep being shocked by a "warlock night elf" must have forgotten that the old T0 sets are not class locked so anyone can wear that warlock looking set.
The maker of BT cinematic is from Czech Republic, I've read an interview with him.. He spends A LOT, like ridiculously much time on these cinematics. It's crazy, mad props.
Dude I started watching your videos last week and because of you I just bought a new computer and renewed my subscription to wow after 5 years I’m going to start classic again and have fun. You are an inspiration bro keep up the good work!
I would love for the choices we made years ago, such as whether to go Aldor or Scryer, became a HUGE factor and made a difference in some way a decade later.
I've been following Hurricane channel the past 8 years. I can inform you that he was hired by blizzard but turned down the job offer, so those who says why blizzard didn't hire him. Also for those who didn't understand the "release spirit" scene i can reference you to his Naxxramas Trailer 2017
im glad he doesnt work for blizz. you hear so much bad stuff nowadays about how shit it is to work for modern blizzard, if you arent fortunate enough to have a senior position. god knows how they would have responded to hurricanes ideas "that doesnt work" "that is not our vision/perspective on how wow should be portrayed" and so on, im sure they would have completely ruined hurricanes creativity at some point. if he can stay raw and and unchanged by corporote bs, im sure he will continue to deliver masterpieces such as those.
Yo, I am in the Hurricane discord and I want to precise two things. 1 - Blizzard proposed him to come, indeed. But he didn't come, he was not hired by them in the end. It was because of logistical problems. 2 - @lawlestest : when Hurricane refused, it was several years ago. Before Blizzard gets a bad reputation. So it has nothing to do with today's Blizzard reputation.
This, this is how WoW is supposed to feel. You are not a GOD you are a Soldier in a massive army(Raid) fighting against these bosses. The whole "Azeroths Champion" is so garbage.
But Legion nailed the whole "Champion" experience, you could see your cult followers, have the coolest artifacts to match your position, challenging the impossible bosses alone, etc. It felt great. BfA's "champion" experience? meh, doesn't stand a candle.
+ Loved when the energy blast got deflected by the energy shield and blasted the opening that we use to get in. + Liked seeing all the armies marching in lakeshire and swamp of sorrows, then going through the dark portal and into outland. - Not a fan of the comedic relief with the human ghost. - Not a fan of that warrior brushing off Illidan's eye-beam then one-shotting him.
Someone said Orb of Deception for the Orc in paladin gear. But Orb of deception used to turn you into a set appearance, not your gear in Horde equivalent race appearance.
Dude, that Black Temple isn't a trailer for the raid, feels more like the trailer for a fucking series, it's so fucking awesome. Definitely feels like what I think WARCRAFT should feel.
I have no idea how he does this. This is using wow in game objects, but a different rendering engine. So much effort and detail in the animation as well.
I found it interesting that this video has a slightly better like/ dislike ratio than the original vid and a third as many views. good shit doooood. watched it live. thanks for bringing stuff like this to so many people's attention.
This has to be tough to look at stuff like that as a blizz game designer... It is beyond insane that community can create better things that blizz creators themselves... Even this trailer has amazing graphic... in WoW it was "never" about a graphic, it is about the feel of the game... it is about how alive those areas feels and how much vibe is created by players inside of the game... and blizz can't capture that, for some reason only "random" gamers who are talented can create IMPRESSIVE content that hits in the right spot of the WoW fan. well freakin done Hurricane
@@AandKify funny cause i was expecting someone to say those cinematics which you just pointed out most of which i consider "mediocre" and "not even good". Only exception is witcher one.
Hurricane video : The game we want

Yeah. Back then it was the WORLD of warcraft, not Singleplayer Warcraft Dungeon Finder.
The trailer is beyond impressive.
Came
The game not so much
Better than Blizzurd
@@vaspix008 Outperformance at It's finest. At times like this I'm sad I left this game behind.
At the end did you see the hunter set eye shoulder look around in the portals direction too?
I'd love it if he made a machinema for every expansion. It makes the game feel more real and less gamey. Like, this is how it would have looked contextualised.
If only, but it took 3 years for that trailer to come out
@@illuvitarv5 It took him around an year. He had other stuff to do in the other 2 years (if the rumors that Blizzard hired him are true :D )

Imagine the Black Temple vid as a Cinematic from Blizzard that would be epic af!
Yea, they should just animate a whole Movie, it would be much much better than the Real Life Character shit they made
well, how about the original Black Temple cinematic remastered by another youtuber. Go search Black Temple trailer remaster. Thats basically blizzard cinematic but remastered by someone else.
Dude imagine if they release a new cinematic animated trailer for the launch of TBC. That would be hype as fuck
@@azeas3412 Would totaly watch a full movie in this style
I remember Sunwell being so damn hard, we used to just farm the 1st few packs of trash for gems and call it a day.
The eye on the hunter's shoulders looked at the portal too Lol
I want Hurricane to do a mini-trailer for Karazhan, one of the best times in TBC.
All of the player’s characters had their armor and weapons completely randomized…

I recognize the Uruk-hai chant in that trailer!!!

Should publish that to here so Asmon can get on a call with him or something.

Play on thunderfurry
Enjoy the ride buddy!
Do you keep playing wow?
1:50 That's some strong WoD trailer vibes right there
I would love for the choices we made years ago, such as whether to go Aldor or Scryer, became a HUGE factor and made a difference in some way a decade later.
1:05 the orc with the paladin sword doesnt have paladin shoulders.. It's the plate shoulders you get from AQ40..
0:26 How did Asmon not catch the Night Elf wearing Warlock Tier 3?
These are always impressive, I honestly can't wait for Ulduar and ICC if he continues past TBC.
00:18 Night Elf in Warlock t3 gear :D
I hope through this video captain gets the respect he deserves.
At 1:22ish did it sound like the (presumably) Mag'har Orks were doing a haka (Maori war challenge)?
Imagine if the game were like this
you will probably play it in 5 fps then lol
It kinda was back in the day. BT was an incredible raid, in the best expansion. Everything felt pretty epic.
this trailer took him whole damn year thats impressive
I don't play the game anymore, but i watch these machinimas. This guy really got talent.
My favorite part is the war cry as they charge the Black Temple
Dude is actually good to watch ur videos. it keep me calm.
The hunter's shoulder pad eyeball also looked towards the portal at the end.
Missed you man widepeepoHappy
I'm glad Asmon is back heh. Missed watching the skinny bastards content.
He was streaming on his alt account the whole time. He finished Sekiro and almost finished BB
@@Nickyreaper2008 alt account?
@@CidZero Yeah. Might be unlisted on twitch. You can check his twitter you can prob find it in one of his posts
Video is actually incredible. I legit start to tear up.
whats the horn and chanting at 1:55

I would be more then willing to watch a cinematic movie that looked like that trailer. If only we could get blizz to make one like that x.x
1:56 that haka sounds siiiiick
The trailer is amazing, and the music he chose fits so well!
00:52 ....maybe it's foreshadowing.
Captain Grims video genuinely made me cry of laughter, wow!
glad to have you back DOOD
What the fuck is a Night Elf doing in Tier 3 Warlock gear at 0:24?
ahh there it is, i was hoping to see zack's reaction every since i saw the trailer
TBC was amazing I can't wait
6:20 "Meteors" You mean fiery catapults?
how did this world go from outlands to pandas, tokens and toddler forged pet battles
and how did they promote those bfa clowns to president and director
Pandas were in warcraft 2 tho. They are pretty consistent with the lore, you have to give em that
@@capitaldcolon1795 thats not a reason to make the whole expansion for pandas

Hurri is an amazing guy. Played with him years ago... golden times of BC & Wotlk.
That was awesome!
This is so cool
1:00 agreed.. and he summoned ashbringer like he was thor. So much dislike a thumbs down would not suffice
Haha I love how he says "Kungen". I'm losing it
+ Loved when the energy blast got deflected by the energy shield and blasted the opening that we use to get in.

Does anyone know where the sound bite of the war chants/charge during the catapult in black temple are from??
As someone who was there years ago at the BC gates, i can confirm, this brought back all the feelings
Back in those days, the machinima that captivated my heart - *World of Workcraft*
I haven’t heard that video name in YEARS.
Well actualy warrior was wearing aq40 plate gear. It is similar for paladins and warriors... So orc was a warrior
Wrong, the warrior is wearing the Paladins 2.5 Tier Shoulders, The warrior version is Purple
Someone said Orb of Deception for the Orc in paladin gear. But Orb of deception used to turn you into a set appearance, not your gear in Horde equivalent race appearance.
Dudd my skin tingled from this cool trailer
love how he noticed the orc wearing paladin tier but the night elf walking around with warlock t3 right in the start...nope lol
When the sunwell part comes up and you get a flashback of "Sunwell the Movie", it was just SO well done.
Great Czech fan trailer maker :)
How is this not even a year old, yet Asmon looks 11 years old
Oke WoW. That got me hyped up
Tuskarr ghost unlock confirmed. Back to life....
needless to say that just gave me goosebumps, cant wait till burning crusade comes back
This is such a insanely good trailer, I got goosebumps at so many points.
SNIP SNIP 😂✂️
Trans people be like
Ash bringer was a sword, warrior can carry that for sure.
Dude, that Black Temple isn't a trailer for the raid, feels more like the trailer for a fucking series, it's so fucking awesome. Definitely feels like what I think WARCRAFT should feel.
That was fucking epic.
I don't play wow since Wotlk but damn the TBC nostalgia is still there and this vid puts a smile on my face ♥️
I legitimately though the black temple one was a blizzard trailer. Wasn't until the video was over I realized it wasn't
if only raiding looked like this with all the npcs in gear from the expac it would be so dope
Everything in that movie is 100% accurate.
It's insane...
If they ever release an official Burning Crusade Server - this better be the trailer.
Someone needs to start a petition to make this guy the design lead on Blizzard cinematic content or something. Fuck me is his stuff incredible.
Hurricane should do trailers for every raid, Sunwell, Ulduar, ICC, Firelands etc..
Goosebumps, blizz should fukcing hire that guy
bleh was trying to find the video where asmongold watches the naxxaramas trailer but cant find it anywhere
its so original but familier enough to think it could be real !!
the naxx paladin have (royal crest of lordaeron) on his bag wrath item
Who else caught the hunter's shoulder eye turning to look at the portal?
No cinematic Blizzard has released makes the Horde and the Alliance fighting together look as appealing as this guy's trailers do.
10:33 where else would one go to get their eye gouged since bosses and other enemies all pull their punches.
SNIP SNIP!
the fucking GOD is back
So is this Method and Nihilum (Ensidia) guilds or everyone in general?
I have no idea how he does this. This is using wow in game objects, but a different rendering engine. So much effort and detail in the animation as well.
love the hair cut asmon
Back in time we planned to kill the first boss in SWP before the nerf and we kept wiping on the 2nd trash pack for like an hour. It was soooo good!

Jk, abso great trailer ^^
Sad he didn't watch the Platinum wow amani video.

Stay for the equally epic machinima 🙌🏽
