OK, these're fucking amazing. Literally best CGI I've seen, ever. Yes, better than the Final Fantasy movie.

When will they add totems for the Tauren? I saw it in this video as it fought the dwarf -_-

Its too bad the WOW game engine didn't look like that. Neat video.

While that would be sweet, i'd hate to shell out the $$$ for the system to run that, heh

i give it 5 years for video games to look like that.

...the graphics cards will probably dim the lights on your entire block or pop the circuit breaker, but it would be sooo worth it.

I just think it's amazing how they can create characters in the game with such a sense of style, that almost cartoon like feel from Blizzard models... but their cinematic artists can take something like that and turn it into something that looks so detailed and life-like. They definitely have some of the best in the business, I can't imagine anyone being turned down a CGI job if that cinematic was in their portfolio.
