I love that the original cinematic is so good that all the remaster could do is make the resolution more crisp, as well as making the particles and lighting better Overall, the original still hardly shows its age
I remember when back in the day many, especially technical people working in animation, would consider Blizzard easily one of the top 5 animation studios in the world.
Blizzard can’t afford it after Warcraft movie bombed. Why do you think Blizzard struggles to make in-game cutscenes in their games? Their stories are either in slideshows, comics, or books because they are a poor indie company that lacks talent, vision, passion, and video game experience. The developers are too busy groping female workers or stealing breast milk.
Nostalgia feels. One of the best times of my life raiding during that expansion. Had a cool guild, people were fun to socialize with and I enjoyed a great majority of the content.
I overdid it with years of WOTLK Private server playing, so I'll be passing cause I just don't trust Blizz at all. But man it was a good expansion, I do hope people have fun.
back when I first saw the commercials I thought it was badass, it’s the one thing that would actually make me want to play WoW. feel the same way all these years later
It looks cool but at same time fk blizzard for what they did to arthas in the story. Shoulda just let the man rest instead of descrating his corpse for thotvanas to get clout.
the way reign of chaos to wotlk lore played out was good. But it would be nice if we got a bronze drake show as an alternate universe. its such a sad and tragic story for Arthas, imagine if he didn't turn into the lich king, he would have been the king of Lordaeron. and Uther as the Lich King. A student defeats his teacher with tears and sorrow. Uther was basically a father figure for him, of righteousness and what is good but he ends up falling for evil. There must always be a lich king? Nah, Arthas would go on a journey of cleansing the world killing all the undead to clean up his teacher's mess Arthas could also be the alter ego of Varian and how he displeases the horde; Arthas would be the kind and generous one who sees eye to eye. Arthas could also be the new teacher for Anduin Arthas and Jaina could have gotten married, have a kid named after uther or llyane. introduce power of love plot armor or sacrifice there was so much good opportunities we could have explored
Imagine if they start REMAKING ingame cinematics into real cinematics? Like imagine Wrathgate... with THIS techlonogy? I don't mean change it ingame, but... just upload it... and lemme... smash.
LOOK AT THE PLEASURE ON ASMONS FACE!!!! He looks so enthralled haha I have always enjoyed these cinematics drom Blizzard. They truly invoked IRL feelings
Probably an unpopular opinion but it looks EXACTLY the same as it did 12 years ago I fail to see the point of a remaster which to my knowledge may have only added a pixel here or there.
here's the thing - this is exclusively about Arthas part as the lich king - it's not about Ner'zhul or any other part of the lich king that's what's interesting. What's interesting is the corrupted prince and the duality in how he thinks he's doing the right thing. how he was brought up as prospect king to handle the responsibilities and difficult decisions and how that nobility has been corrupted into this twisted immortal being. Death was always this unjust tragedy to Arthas and he's gained dominion over it. he seeks to give the whole world immortality - albeit as undead, probably rotting beings, but immortality nonetheless. He thinks he's gifting the world a solution to it's greatest injustice. THAT'S the appealing villain, because we get to see the consequences of his actions, the corruption of his soul in his pursuit of this twisted but in his perspective just cause. us being the heroes to his villainy - in storytelling, we need to prove him wrong, or we're just putting down an animal.
If the Warcraft universe gets a good reboot one day, and we get a new WoW in a scale as shown in all these cinematics? Jesus Christ on a bike, it would be a gigantic world.
The difference is barely noticeable, some little details in Arthas' armor are like little more blinged out or little more crisp/sharper looking but that's about it lol. I dunno maybe I'm just going blind.
Hard to remaster a cinematic from Blizzard, no matter it's age. If anything, they should've done a remaster for the Vanilla trailer when they originally did Vanilla Classic. That's the only one I think that could be improved a tiny bit.
Its rly good to see how is blizzard trying to make big hype about Wotlk. The content, videos, commisions they r uploading on yt are rly good. Hope this ll continue. After all the disappoitment i have little bit of hopium for better future wow 💪
The movie was fucking garbage and I don’t play WoW. My one friend made me watch it. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was much better than the Warcraft movie.
@@FrosenHell Can you specifically name one of the fixes? Also, what Upscale did was not simple. He himself trained a BasicSR model based on thousands of World of Warcraft images that he used to upscale the video.
@@FrosenHell Do you have a timestamp? I just compared the two clips, and they still look the same to me. Only noticeable difference is increase in resolution, but there are weird aliasing artifacts

Most Blizzard cinematics are like that. Their art team is as insane as they are underpaid/ valued.
I remember when back in the day many, especially technical people working in animation, would consider Blizzard easily one of the top 5 animation studios in the world.
@@volvodoto4053 mmm... Not so sure about the "underpaid" part
Well they weren't going to re-make the entire thing from scratch.
What are they gonne do except up the resolution really? That's all a remaster is.
I hope they turn wrathgate into an epic cinematic. It deserves it.
Shouldn't it be already in database somewhere?
Nonono, it's perfect as it is. Go look how it was made.
@@tree_poplar what do you mean
@@AllNamesWasTakenlol Why not both?
It’s Blizzard, so they won’t
Make a Wrath of the Lich King movie with Henry Cavill playing Arthas
Omg I could totally see him portraying good and evil arthas perfectly
Hes even a wow nerd, hed understand what the role means
@@aslightidiot IIRC didn't he say he almost missed the call for his Superman role because he was raiding?

Yes Dude!
thank you kind soul
My boy just watched it and this is already up. Props to the editors.

Looking forward to see him turn into a wisp in 4K
And then poof, disappear. So epic.
The greatest cinematic ever made.
This cinematic NEVER gets old. This one scene should be taught as a masterclass of CGI, storytelling, and art.
My brother in christ it’s a wow trailer
@@SkyboundLight K. That's not the point. The point is that it's good cgi, show me a clip that's aged better. There aren't many.

Absolutely legendary, timeless cinematic
I could hear optimus prime but i didnt see him
The last great story Blizzard ever told. And how great it is!
Man, imagine WOTLK movie with Henry Cavil and Travis Fimmel... Holy sht.
To this day still the best cinematic trailer and expansion.
the trailer for wotlk still gives me chills.
I wonder how many people will just stay in classic wrath and never leave
It looks cool but at same time fk blizzard for what they did to arthas in the story. Shoulda just let the man rest instead of descrating his corpse for thotvanas to get clout.
Should of been called "chills of the lich king"
I miss the real blizzard. Peak warcraft
NAH BURNING CRUSADE 💯💯💯😫😫😫😫😫🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯✅✅✅✅🤪🥹😂😎😂💯👽💩👽
@@DDog09 i respect your answer but disagree. lich king is too epic as a villain
god that fuckin trailer is sooooo fuckin gooood dude
And then you launch the game and its like you play some cartoon...
Haha, yup! Trying to swoon people with a hyper-realistic trailer and then the actual game looks like shit.
no one would have noticed that it was a remaster if it wasnt written
You need to compete the 70-80 journey wearing that helmet man
Blizzard has always been good at cinematics
"Wot-Lukuh hype Wot-Lukuh hype"
the way reign of chaos to wotlk lore played out was good. But it would be nice if we got a bronze drake show as an alternate universe.
its such a sad and tragic story for Arthas, imagine if he didn't turn into the lich king, he would have been the king of Lordaeron. and Uther as the Lich King.

Arthas could also be the alter ego of Varian and how he displeases the horde; Arthas would be the kind and generous one who sees eye to eye.
Arthas could also be the new teacher for Anduin
Arthas and Jaina could have gotten married, have a kid named after uther or llyane.
introduce power of love plot armor or sacrifice
there was so much good opportunities we could have explored
The sad parth in all of this that Arthas is just a Jailer puppet.
Warcraft says to WoW
"When my days have come to an end you shall be king."
but as we all know...
Imagine if they start REMAKING ingame cinematics into real cinematics? Like imagine Wrathgate... with THIS techlonogy? I don't mean change it ingame, but... just upload it... and lemme... smash.
Wow, such good looking in engine cinematic.
He is not our king...
He is our Hero.
He is fckn both
Today's fact: Fleas can jump around 130 times their own height. So if a flea were a person six feet high, it can jump 780 feet high just like that.
how would you know unless....
This cinematic made me play WOW back in the days.................
so we getting mohawk grenades?
It's a good thing they remastered it. Imagine if they reforged it.
Why is this worth watching really. We've all seen this trailer a million times but "ooooh 4k"
wotlk was peak wow
Most balllsy shit they can do is create an alternate universe from wotlk where we actualy loose against the lich king imagine that shit
Literally the same.
Arthas trilogy would SMASH
LOOK AT THE PLEASURE ON ASMONS FACE!!!! He looks so enthralled haha I have always enjoyed these cinematics drom Blizzard. They truly invoked IRL feelings
Watching this on my iPhone.. wow that’s 4K? Nice
Probably an unpopular opinion but it looks EXACTLY the same as it did 12 years ago I fail to see the point of a remaster which to my knowledge may have only added a pixel here or there.
it's way more than a pixel. you can see the difference in 4k for sure. the boots alone are so much crisper
How cool is it that the jailer was behind all this? Right guys? Right?
here's the thing - this is exclusively about Arthas part as the lich king - it's not about Ner'zhul or any other part of the lich king that's what's interesting.

They don't put "Classic" on the title because it is a remastered, not a remake.
my body is fucking ready!

Jesus Christ on a bike, it would be a gigantic world.
What Ever I played it back in the Day and loved it.... i would never play it again specially with the Community that Exists Now...
The memories
The difference is barely noticeable, some little details in Arthas' armor are like little more blinged out or little more crisp/sharper looking but that's about it lol. I dunno maybe I'm just going blind.
pretty much. its just rendered at a higher resolution. you can really see it on the boots with the fur

Amazing this company can just sell these people the same game over and over.

editors be on redbull or something, like this just occured.
I wish they could remaster old pixelated textures in retail. Just autoupscale them ffs
we should never have killed the only true king
Всё таки нет ничего лучшей озвучки
Absolute masterpiece 💯
I watched this 4k version, it's just AI upscaled, and on a 4k monitor it looks like 2k (1440p)
can someone pay me a month i fucking miss this game too much man
powercreep is so bad, at our current ilvl in retail, arthas might as well be 35 anima
Does anyone else like me think this remaster actually looks worse? Some of it looked more cartoony and off.
I don't see the difference, maybe with a side to side comparison i can spot them. Just shows how good Blizzard cinematics are.
Does remastere mean they will make the unit textures in higher resolution, or just cinematics like Warcraft 3 reforged (aka warcraft 3 refunded)?
The Warcraft movie existed, right
What the WoW movie should've been, Arthas story.
Game of Thrones basically copied this for Season 7 ending Teaser.
And then delivered nothin' from a great undead battle....
True lich king who could beat sylvannas
_remasters the cinematic_
_uploads it on youtube that is known for it's shitty quality_
warcraft movie we wanted: Arthas fighting Illidan/Arthas becoming the lich king
warcraft movie we got: some guldan garbage
they need to continue the movies so they can get to arthas
that shit would print money
The movie was fucking garbage and I don’t play WoW. My one friend made me watch it. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was much better than the Warcraft movie.
Warcraft shouldn't be a movie
But an animated series would be great. Warcraft has too many things Live-action movies cannot recreate.
After all this time? - Always
Is WoTLK doing well? Like, a lot of players? On one hand I see people talking of queues.... on the other, EU servers appear to be fairly dead?
To think GoT ripped this off.
Wotlk hype! Wotlk hype! 😆
Yeeep this is what the movie should have been. Major missed opportunity.
Who would do it better though, Blizard or Square Enix?
they should put actual graphics on wotlk
I seen this one like 1 year ago xd
Bald
How’d we go from this to pandas and fox people
blizz started making games for LGBTQ because they have less impulse control over their wallets
It's an AI upscale, alot of detail is just becoming soft instead, it looks bad.
This remaster looks worse than the original one, the upscaling makes it look less realistic with the lightning and particle effects
@Microsoft seperate @Activision from @Blizzard
Now all they have to do, now is do the same to the game.............................................................................................
How far blizzard has fallen
Upscale's was better than this 'remaster'
they fixed the colors, lights and particles. its way better than a simple ai rescale
@@FrosenHell Can you specifically name one of the fixes? Also, what Upscale did was not simple. He himself trained a BasicSR model based on thousands of World of Warcraft images that he used to upscale the video.
@@SeanyKrabs look when he touches the snow and swipes it. Notice the snowflakes. Or the blue aura on the eyes and the dragon's
@@FrosenHell Do you have a timestamp? I just compared the two clips, and they still look the same to me. Only noticeable difference is increase in resolution, but there are weird aliasing artifacts
How was this a remaster? I didn't see a single thing different
It's a remaster, not a remake
if you do a side by side comparison the difference is pretty clear. the new one has better lighting and resolution. its a remaster not a full remake.
compare them and you will see the difference. they actually did a good job remastering it
Textures on the armor and dragon are much better.
Its upscaled to modern standards and has better lighting / particles. Its not supposed to be a completely new cinematic
i love it
There’s like 0 action in these WoW cinematics. They are either cheesy, corny, or just lack umph. 🤣 Truly forgettable cinematics.
Unfortunately, level boosting will forever ruin the game for me.
Just play fresh start. No boosts there
@@Azuma951 Is there a server that don't have boosters at all?
this guy need to get a life
Big fan but ngl this cinematic is overrated
