Basically my reaction ! :D. I hope that the Diablo: Wrath short is like 40 minutes long or something.

That's the making of / preview of the 100% unlock :P.

[Omacron]

Finally got around to watching it. Frikkin' amazing. I can't wait.


I do wish Warcraft and Starcraft got some animation though, instead of just comics and novels. Kinda like what Bioware is doing with Mass Effect and Dragon Age (and I think EA also released some Dead Space films of dubious quality).

I could see this being the first step for them to create more animation projects... Even though i do enjoy Anime (which they seemed to be interested in) i do not think it would suit any of the three Universes and i would rather see more of this :D.

I'm not a huge fan of the wings on the other angels. I always loved the ribbons of light on Tyrael and kind of wish they were universal in the style. The animation quality was decent, but I didn't get a strict Diablo feel from it. Over all it was a nice introduction to some of the Archs.

[Lord Grimtale]

Reminded me of Spawn a lot, not that that's a bad thing.

It seems the ribbons are there when they are in movement but when stopped they take a more solid form

Kinda neat concept actually

[Insane Guy of Doom]

That makes me think Imperious is headed on a dark, dark path.

[Omacron]

I liked it. Wish it was longer, wish Blizz would do some more animation for their other franchises.


I do wonder if Imperius isn't just "headed" on a dark path, but that he's already significantly different from the other angels. While the rest favor cooler colors (which we couldn't have figured out from the book of cain) Imperius is much warmer, and even has orange wings. Similarly, he's the only angel with a helmet rather than a hood... as if he has to hide something. And then Diablo said he's afraid that the other angels might find out what he "really is"- while that could speak of his personality... perhaps he's something else, something more than angel, already?

I made the same observations, also Imperius didnt want Diablo telling the others anything so he struck him down quickly

Something is amiss

What if Diablo wants to use Imperius himself as a host with which to merge?

[Crazyterran]

Imperius bled like an angel when Diablo hit him.

I imagine he's becoming twisted with his desires to vanquish the forces of Hell and anyone who would follow them.

He killed Diablo because he couldn't stand one of the prime evils being allowed to live, and his pride may have been hurt he needed the others help. He seems as a very pride driven character, to me.

That's besides the fact that Diablo goaded him into it, in the attempt to split the council's unity up.

[Curll]

That makes me think Imperious is headed on a dark, dark path.

Yes

[Dagren]

The fact that this short was about Imperius hints that he'll play a big role in Diablo 3. He reminded me of Varian in a way, with his anger issues and all.
With Varian going on the path of redemption, I guess we'll see the other side of the coin with Imperius.
But I'd really like it if Blizzard could surprise us with something entirely new. I hope they have new stories to tell instead of just recycled ones.

Anyway, I liked the short. It's good to see other people appreciating it here. I saw so much hate on other sites that it's disturbing.

[neoshadow]

i was most intrested in the fact diablo was so short,and looked like the D1 incanra tion,rather then the D3 form we`ve seen,

[Crazyterran]

That was a pretty good animation thing.

Though, someone from Fires of Heaven made me laugh with:

"God damn those anime fags, making even Diablo look gay."

[Omacron]

Well considering Diablo has a different body every time he's reincarnated and the fact that perhaps the short takes place sometime in the past I don't see a problem with that. :raisedbro

A thread with MASSIVE SPOILERS from the collector's edition cinematics. (http://www.diablofans.com/topic/40773-cinematic-spoilers-updated-2/)

[Lon-ami]

Anyway:

The cinematics of the game are already around. They've got LOADS of spoilers.

Only got some images, though. But they won't avoid my leak-finding skills for long :P.

5 more days, damn it!

Edit: Genesis stole my job!

Seems it's the same guy from the site I got them originally from (seems they're removed from there now :(). All photos here: http://s1249.photobucket.com/profile/boiler149 :). Edit: damn, he made it private >_<.

I liked how Auriel called Imperius actions a Sacrilege :D

[Crazyterran]

It's probably because he acted against the council's wishes, and slew him on the spot. (and got demon blood all over her robes.)

Yeah pretty much, but it adds really dark connotations for deciding stuff on his own

[Crazyterran]

I'm telling you, he's going to go bananas and try to kill all the Humans, since he'll blame them for Diablo's return from the void. (Since he possesses a Human to come back...)

[Slowpokeking]

Where is Izual?

[Mark_Romaneck]

Where is Izual?

Now I know I cant take you seriously

[Slowpokeking]

I think he should still be around the hell, all we did in D2 was just free him from that monster's body.

Also, since they were sieging hell, shouldn't they free Inarius?

[Vil'rexin]

Also, since they were sieging hell, shouldn't they free Inarius?The Angiris Council gave him to Mephisto with their own free will. Why the hell would they give a shit about him?

[Ashendant]

The Angiris Council gave him to Mephisto with their own free will. Why the hell would they give a shit about him?

Mephisto is dead, and broke the pact made with the Council i think they probably would want him back

I have some doubts trough

We know that the Prime evils have gone to the Abyss because of the soulstones, but the other lesser evils of pain and anguish are implied to have faced something similar but without having a soulstone

[Slowpokeking]

The Angiris Council gave him to Mephisto with their own free will. Why the hell would they give a shit about him?
They gave him to Mephisto because they could gain some benefit from the demon at that time. Now it's different, and he's still Tyrael's brother.

Even Izual's betrayal helped the Prime Evils a lot, if they could turn Inarius, that's not gonna be something the Angels want to see.

[Leviathon]

The cinematics were neat although I'm not entirely sure how they'll do an expansion with the ending it had even if they left a very tiny hint of what the expansion may deal with.

You've already watched all the cinematics including the ending one? :eek:

[Lon-ami]

I don't like the cinematics in general:
-Diablo looks ugly, looked better in 2008 trailer.
-Half the cinematics are non-action, the other half don't have enough action and are too short.
-The plots around Tyrael's and Diablo's new "style" feel pretty lame. I hope they're properly explained in-game.
-Stupid deaths and betrayals. Still, will wait for the game to see if they're well or not.

The cinematics are awesome. Period.

1. Ehh, considering he's one of the lords of Hell, I don't think the idea the creators got in their heads when coming up with concepts for Diablo was ever to make him "pretty". And considering he's in a female body, he still manages to look badass.

2. May I remind you of the Diablo 2 cinematics? They didn't have all that much action in them too, in fact one of them consists almost entiely of 2 people talking for 3 minutes, yet they kicked ass back in the day.

3. Tyrael and Diablo's new images are awesome!

4. What exactly are you referring to? Deckard Cain's death? The dude was like 100, did you expect him to live forever? Also, what are you basing your opinion they're "stupid" on? The cinematics alone?

Seriously, Lon, give the game a chance. I don't think your criticism is valid, considering your opinion is based solely on the cinematics - the one department that the Blizzard guys, despite all the hate they get for various aspects of their games, have not only improved but excelled at to perfection over the years.

Spoiler tags added accordingly.

[Omacron]

Diablo as a game is chock full of action. The Cinematics are there specifically to slow things down and help move the story along.

Ah saving Leah would make sense since it did seem pretty tragic what occurred to her.

The Black Soulstone wasn't destroyed either by the looks of it.

Overall I liked the cinematics and know I'll get more detail about what I saw in them in the actual game considering there will be those in-game books such as what we saw in New Tristram.

[Omacron]

That leaked product schedule from years ago showed that they planned 2 diablo expansions.


Inarius doesn't die in DIII, right? He'll probably be a boss in one of the expansions then.

[Slowpokeking]

Those 6 shards in D2 that was not destroyed can be used to make at least one new soulstone.

[Sonneillon]

Pbth, obviously the Prime evils soul stones and peices of the world stone are going to be all combined into one entity.

Personally, I hope they do bring Leah back to life. I kind of have a thing for bookish girls in trouble. That, and we need a Horadrim to tell us to "Stay awhile and Listen".

[Mark_Romaneck]

If Tyrael has become wisdom then its safe to assume that some of the council has met grisly deaths

This pleases me

Malthael is the Archangel of Wisdom (and Death). Tyrael replaces him, because Malthael dissappears mysteriously.

[Slowpokeking]

Was Inarius a member of the council before he left?

He was an Archangel, but not a member of the council.

When I speak about Diablo sucking, I mean the 3D model. In 2008 he/she looked badass, he looks cheap now.

Just watch it by yourself: http://youtu.be/EgbUSsblCSQ?t=1m43s

As for the other things, I hate:
Herp derp I can become human by just stripping off my wings! Diablo, whose soulstone was destroyed, and Duriel, who wasn't ever imprisoned, are all inside the black soulstone for some reason! Adria is a betrayer, and probably the companion of Magda who helped her take control of the Coven, so, why did she send Leah with Cain?

Ehh... Diablo looks the same back then and now?

Also, an angel being stripped of their powers after falling from grace because of their actions/beliefs and being cast out isn't a new cocept, you should know that. Even for the Diablo setting that's not a precedent. I'd imagine the progenitors of the human race became the first humans themselves when they left their respective domains. There's absolutely nothing stupid about Tyrael becoming mortal. Also, his wings and powers were taken away from him. By force. I'm guessing there was some magic involved too. It's not like one day Tyrael woke up and said to himself "Hey I don't want to be an Archangel anymore, I wanna be a real boy. All I have to do is just take these wings off". Seriously, Lon, you're grasping at straws to make your argument.

As for the rest, I don't know. I have to play the game to see how those play out, I guess.

[spidey1980]

Actually he chose to become mortal and ripped of his wings himself.


@Lon
Don't judge the entire story on a few cinematics. We have absolutely no idea what will happen during the actual game, which is where most of the story will be told, obviously.
You've just seen about 5 to 10% of the story. I'm sure playing through the game will fill in a lot of gaps.

As for Diablo's look in 2008. It's the same as now. I have no idea what you were watching there.
