Every frame is a new wallpaper
Just made myself a wallpaper. This dude is amazing.
I need to save the dragon rising behind him. It's awesome
Make sure you're capturing it with the video at 2160 or 4320.
KMiker I liked the wallpaper from 0:00 to 7:32
i like 0:58 one
So, this is the real "REFORGED"
You *dare* mention that monstrosity *HERE?*
Nah, this is real "CLASSIC WOTLK".
Better than reforged
@@raptus9115 true, that was monstrous
@@linjudy5644 tch reforged is better than this. monstrosity
For me, this will always be one of the best cinematics produced for any game ever.
Don’t mind me, just here liking comments that are ageless. :)
between this and starcraft II legacy of the void
Watched this cinematic like 50 times at least. Best one they have released for sure.
Ironically, the Lich King is a perfect representation of Activision-Blizzard. He succeeded a father who ruled wisely and ended up fucking everything up for everyone.
Right. 😭
Terenas wasn't a wise ruler btw
@@danielwalker6230 Well I clearly don't know jack shit about Warcraft lore.
Do ya know that there was a time when Blizzard was not partnered with Activision? Even during the release of this expansion.
Then of course there was also a time when it wasn't own by tencent either.
The quality improved a bunch. But you have to admit that this cinematic no matter how old it is or it gets, the graphics still leave me astonished. It rly is a masterpiece a beautiful piece of art. ( in my opinion ofc), but I got the feeling you guys think the same way.
It's over 11 years old and still looks AMAZING!
Blizzard since Warcraft 3 and especialy WoW first cinematic was allways jawdropping with their Cinemas. It took other Cinematic trailers years til the reach similar level of quality (i would say with SW:TOR and Elder scrolls Online we got comparable quality Cinematis).
Yeah I was actually having a hard time figuring out what had changed, but when Frostmourne is involved, you can really start to see a difference.
Yes! I'd assume that's why the person did it. It's not a huge leap, but also enhances one of the best game cinematics ever made in a cool way.
@@ZunaZurugi yes for sure
1:15 he is rubbing his fingers just like the cinematic before he killed his father.when he grabbed a flower petal.daaamn so many years and today I just realized it
Guess that's a habit of Arthas
Thats how Blizzard rubs its fingers as well, waiting for more money $$$ :D
Garadares hahahahaha
🖖 Storyline was so apt. Even those who will watch this lore for first time, they will get it.
😌
Nice. Never saw it before. Thanks.
This is like putting glasses on
The fact that the original animation is about to be 11 years old and still looks so good is incredible. The fact that you can use technology to upscale it to look as if it was released last week is even more incredible.
Arthas did nothing wrong.
Yes it was all the jailer
Arthas did nothing wrong.
It was either sacrificing Strathholme, or losing the entirety of Lordaeron sooner.
I always say this, but Blizz' CGI department always outshines everything else. Like, I don't want to play Warlords of Draenor, I want to play that trailer!
Sylvanas did everything wrong.
@Originz Fishing not really. He did technically kill tens of thousands in Stratholme, but lets be realistic, it was the correct call for a multitude of reasons. Strath NEEDED to be culled for everyones sake.
After that he had his soul posessed by one of the most powerful weapons Azeroth has ever known. I wouldnt exactly say his actions were his own from that point on, since his will as literally not his own.
Did he freely decide to pick up Frostmourne? Yes. Did he have any reason to assume it was a worse decision than leaving Mal'Ganis to continue to spread the plague? Hell no. Unfortunately he was put in a lose-lose situation, as a puppet for powers far beyond his reckoning.
Arthas did nothing wrong.

Hence the lack of differentiable upgrade
Friend : Why are you crying ?
CINEMATIC : When my days come to an end...
Both: YOU SHALL BE KING *in tears*
That hurts....
BRO SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
People: OMG 8K looks SO COOL! *watches video on a 1080p monitor
You can still see a huge improvement despite watching it on a 1080p monitor, can't imagine how clean it must be on a 4k monitor or 8k monitor in the future
My phone runs 720
It will still look better on a 1080p screen due to the additional pixels, basically because you are condensing an 8k image to 1080p you get a sharper picture on 1080p compared to a straight 1080 image
@@PlayerNerfed Oh you mean like when we went from a big TV to a small ?
@@Naeinsengimnida I can't remember the term (maybe like down sampling?) But because your taking 8 pixels to make up 1 pixel for 1080p the overall picture is crisper. The reason big TVs (presume you mean the really old ones with the massive back end) looked crap compared to modern TVs is not due to this, rather it is simply because those old TVs could only display 480p so each pixel was stretched to fill up the screen (ppi or pixels per inch) so higher resolution means a higher ppi and therefore a sharper picture (so a 1080p resolution has over double the ppi of a 480p one) however the limit is determined by the display and source of picture, so your monitor can handle 1080p however if the picture was captured at 480 then the picture will still look crap since your display has to project it at that resolution.
If the source was 8k then technically you would view it at 1080p but due to down sampling it still looks sharper then a native 1080.
Father: "And I know you will show restaints when exercising your great power"
Son: "lol nope"
Son: *Shows restraint by raising a gigantic undead dragon*
Yea that's the point of the cinematic
bro do you know the realse date? it will be please with price ? or free to play?
@@lyricsworld8113 Not sure if I am accurately responding to what you were trying to say, but this expansion is over a decade old and you need to either play a private server for free or pay a monthly sub to go through this expansion
@@user-nv1du1nf8d ya considering he one shots the whole raid at the end of the fight
The fact that something from 2008 can honestly be on par with 2019 cinematics/CGI by simply increasing quality truly shows that this trailer was well ahead of it's time.
Watching it at 1080p was just orgasmic. You never really realize how blurry it was until you see all those crisp lines and go "Holy shit, this was from 2008?"
I put it down to people loving what they do to create it, same for what's said about the first LoTR trilogy and same for all kinds of visual effects from years gone by. You can have all the technology you want but if your heart isn't in, it be a struggle to be top quality even with the best direction and management you can get. Or that's how I like to think of it all anyway.
I guess it's hard to improve on perfection
No one substitute Lich King . The best expansion ever .
To this day this is to me the best cinematic ever. Long live the King.
I'm seeing details in places that I didn't even know were places
The details in the sword and the army was amazing..
I enjoyed watching this on my 1080p monitor. lol
u are not alone my friend.
Ya but it doesnt matter, on youtube it scales to your monitor anyway the only diffrence in the settings is the Bitrate.
You can still see the increased fidelity on a 1080p monitor so it doesn't matter.
agreed, 4K playback on 1080p looks incredible
Make sure you force the youtube resolution to 1440p or higher for the increased bitrate, 1080 on youtube is trash.
Blizzard give this man a job
they did it was called warlords of draenor, the servers had 30000ms and crashed constantly
give who a job? the dude or the AI? :P
@@max16 you realize it is dudes that create and apply AI, do you?
you do realize by using :p emote it indicates that i am joking. or do you live under a rock and have no concept of feeling.
@@max16 he probs lives under the pineapple under the sea
The scary thing is, this just looks like an in-game footage from the next gen of games that will come out within 5 years from now.
I mean games already have this level of detail shoved onto the screen, but no matter how good graphics get, general gameplay won't look as nice as a short, storyboarded cinematic designed to look as nice as possible
Man, their cinematics team sure packed a punch with this one. Masterful
My favorite and best cinematic made by blizzard in my humble opinion and now it looks so wonderful like never before. You did an awesome job! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
ture, and one of the best songs ever made too....in wow.
It is what it is...best cinematic of blizzard ☝🏻
Finally the cinematic we've been waiting for!
This is easily one of the best cinematics ever made. The sound, the words being said, and when the music starts playing... all perfect. Graphics are insane, still to this day. Seeing this still sends a shiver down my spine to this day.
Ultra 8k definition! Ultra coolness Lich King. Amazing job. I love you.
As someone who went into Computer Animation cause of the original video. This..... this pleases me.
Me: you can't improve upon perfection
Upscale: watch me, scrub
"Remeber our line has always ruled with wisdom.... and strength" goosebumps
This, this is just perfection. I'm speechless and I can't thank you enough for making this a reality
from a time when blizzard did good games! this is the real warcraft movie!
That was the most amazing thing I have seen this year. You made me emotional towards this. Thank you.
Best expansion hands down
This is honestly just so amazing, thank you for making this beautiful upscale.
Теперь Артас самый четкий пацан на районе.
Причём на этот раз - во всех смыслах этого слова.
Jeezh that really gave me chills!!! After all those years i still gets it seeing this Cinematic...Wotlk was simply the best times of my life!! :D
I still get goosebumps for the perfect music, the sword, the snow, the Frost dragon's call. Top notch nostalgia for me ❤🥰
after all these years i still get chills watching this
Even for an old cinematic it still holds strong. Especially for its time, they were top of the food chain. And this remaster is just sublime. Great work you've done here.
Dem tears in your eyes when he points the sword in 1:35.
that was bloody amazing, especially as he slowed the perception of time :')
definitely orgasmic.
Arthas and lich king might be dead but they are still alive in our memories and hearts 💖💖
Best epic game cinematic ever..no doubt..Long live the King!..
Well damn, that just automatically restarted my WoW subscription...It was a thing of beauty. Excellent work.
"For when my days have come to an end, you shall be King." Pog
I missed you. I still remember the first time I watched the trailer. It was best trailer I ever known.
coming back every now and then.. well done dude!
Holy shit, seeing the side-by-side, the old one looks muddy and washed out compared to the new one xD Still looks good, but the new one just looks that much better, it's insane.
This trailer beats Blizzards remaster of this trailer incredible work UpScale ! You beat a multi billion dollar company 💎💎💎👑
wow getting some sickass wallpapers for my pc from your 8k upscale
Absolutely breathtaking. Great job!
Best and last expansion I've played before I quitted. Thanks for the great memories!
Good lord. Watching it was incredible, and I knew it was fantastic. But when I saw the side-by-side comparison, I was floored by the improvement.
Best intro, best character only to be made better by your upscale! Fantastic work
Brilliant work!! Thank u :') !
Hello, I just wanted to say that I have watched a few of your videos and of the ones I have seen this is by far the most impressive one. Every detail is perfect, thank you for this.
It's insane to see this and have it be JUST as good as the D4 cinematic released in this past BlizzCon. This trailer was more than a decade ahead of its time. AMAZING
Omfg this is amazing, possibly my favourite trailer in history looking mind blowing. You sir, deserve a medal!
I keep coming back to this. It's art. Not only this cinematic, but the whole storyline of Arthas.
Can't wait for the original WoW cinematic to be remastered!
It is amazing and sad at the same time. To remember how amazing Blizzard once was and where it is now.
the work on the metal pieces is incredible!
Holy shit... this is amazing. And it even smoothed out the frames without those ugly ass motion blur artifacts tvs do. Im damn near speechless.
I loved the nostalgic playstation intro.
I was 6 when wow was released and I have played it ever since, nothing has come close to how good wrath was, this game has been in most of my life and I still remember it all like it was yesterday.
I thought this cinematic can't be better! Great job! Thank you!
The video is incredibly sharp!! Well done!
Details are killing me. Great job
There was taken an amazing trailer with visuals that already almost looked Realistic, gave it a new coat of paint and made it beautiful. Impressive.
Glad you did a side by side. Makes me appreciate the upscale more.. I would of never notice as much details/clarity added if it wasnt for that.
This is by far the best upscale video among all of them!
Of all the video's to use for this 8K test.....I approve.
Best expansion trailer there ever has been
I'm late to the party but after that crisp video... Instant subscription!
from time to time i watch this trailer to recall me how awesome was those years. It was another life!
Can't wait to see the withered one's hairline in 8k
Man this hits me hard with nostalgia. I spent hundreds of hours on this expansion yet haven't spoken to any of those people in years.
This is really impressive, good job!
It's amazing at how you can see every speck of the snow and every strand of hair very clearly.
Это невероятно. Отличная работа. У меня ощущение, что я действительно наблюдаю за Артасом.
Beautiful...
Thanks for Upscaling..... Thanks for my old memories........
I didn't know I needed this... but I really appreciate it now.
The sheer scale of power you felt from this trailer is so different from other trailers in the way it inspired new players like me. So glad I found private servers for wotlk I just cant afford to pay for life for this game when Ionly wanna play an hour or two and find out if I even can get sucked, but I tried retail and it just sucks.
from just a newbish perspective starting and stopping at wotlk then years later jumping into retail a few months ago its just garbage leveling up. Theres no sense of improvement, i miss buying my spells and getting starting armor that actually felt like an improvement when I got to a new town, I miss having to walk everywhere manually early on so you just gotta get used to making it a real journey, and always having enough money just to get a couple new things, incentivizing me to do more to get stronger. mobs in the world felt deadly, you gotta look out and learn how to be efficient and only maybe take on more than one which made the simple combat in the beginning interesting. I jump into retail and because I was in a town at the right time an npc gave me a trinket worth 30 gold and im like level 7.. my wotlk *funserver* isn't even like that.. I just do a couple less quests between zones and make lesss money for doing less quests so now There's a chance I can actually reach endgame. So glad I haven't seen any random Arthas figures standing there for no reason anywhere it's blizzlike so I shouldnt worry but some can be just a little too pointless imo
If you were a new player during this, just imagine how this trailer felt to someone who play Warcraft 3 and then waited around 6 years to finally see Arthas again after his story in the Frozen Throne. I can't even begin to tell you how magical it was to finally see Arthas again and they absolutely fucking killed it with the trailer.
Ufff ni a comparación. Excelente trabajo indudablemente!
I'll never forget popping this disc into my computer for the first time and watching this trailer after the download. Amazing
I still get chills when I watch this. The speech the music. RIP arthas you were the reason I started playing wow. Icc was my favorite raid ever and I love that I got the achievement mount during current content
Wow.. Incredible cinematic. WoW: Wrath of the Lich King - History cinematic Warcraft.
GOOD JOB!
Greatest video game trailer ever made. So many great memories playing during this expac my God !!
Amazing work!
Everyone's PC is on fire after rendering this.
This is so beautiful 😍absolute perfection ...
I tell you man, I’ve played since vanilla. My brother came home from a friends and was like dude there’s this badass game called world of Warcraft, you level up and you can be a warrior or a mage, and when you die you go back to your body and keep leveling. I was so into RuneScape that I didn’t even care. After we finally got it, he tried for about another month to get me to play it. I gave and tried it. Within 5 minutes I was addicted lol. BC was amazing when it came out, but idk what it is but when I got this expansion, after I watched this intro video, I got so pumped and got chills and goosebumps. My goodness when he stood up and pulled Frostmourne out, the shing sound… for some reason I thought the Lich king was a badass good guy that would be an ally. Because I didnt know shit about Warcraft lore.
I’m still playing in shadowlands and just got maxed out in PvP gear on my Druid, name is Druud on skywall but every so often I come back and just experience the nostalgia of this. I have yet to watch the Warcraft movie because I was kind of upset that they didn’t even include the lich king, or this type of cinematic, (really I just haven’t gotten around to watch it, still) anyway I’m too drunk for this
Amazing work!
Imagine a wow movie about arthas/lich king with this kind of music and setting. The chills.
ur pfp just says it all m8 3Head
5:22 the difference is incredible ... i trully see it.
2:59 just look at this shot man, holy shit
Absolutely not, looks almost almost exactly the same. Slightly less blur, VERY slightly less.
@@Dodgeprlk r u high lol
That was the exact shot, the closeup of Frostmourne, that made me go Wow! on first watch.
This is probably my favorite cinematic from Blizzard. This and TBC were amazing. Thanks for the upscaled video!
My god, very nice work !!!
U did a great JOB !! Blizzard should offer u a job as cinematic and ingame scenarios creator :D
So that he can refuse their offer ? :)
Or , in a perfect world that Blizzard decide only to do animated tv series and respect both their artists and fans , than you can accept their offer in this condition :) That was really amazing dude , good job.
Definitely Nolan should make a movie based on this storyline.
It will beat Endgame, for sure.
💙
thank you, it made my day.
This is my all-time favourite cinematic and WoT TBC and WOTLK will always hold a special place in my heart! I truly miss those days :)
