Yeah considering the use of WoD Gul'Dan, trying to find a way to use Karabor and the past version of Shadowmoon Valley would've been nice, since they're canonically how they look now, even if that version was a different timeline.
@@TonyNumber9 Allow me to politely disagree. Saying that BFA is "Best Lore" is almost nearly heretic, when we had TBC and Arthas with WotLK. While BFA... well, i guess at least it makes Sylvanas fandomship happy.
Alot people that think BFA lore is crap are those never read books and knowledge characters well enough if it is no quest text, normally people like wotlk is through warcraft 3 gameplay and then wow through vanilla to wotlk we get hints then final fight against arthas

@@iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT he never joined the burning legion side willingly its just kil jaeden suddenly appear and told him to kill lich king , illidan knows kil jaeden is too op fighting him that time is suicide so he needs time to prepare for war against kil jaeden
@@sans1843 I meant in the original defense of the ancient war, and later too. He told Kiljaden he was going to recruit for the burning legion, but turned out he was also training demon hunters to fight them
Problem with that is that there is no updated Lich King model. The only reason this trailer was possible is because Legion was so demon centered and Illidan returned, which is why he and most characters related to him got upgraded models. Take a good look at Kael'thas in this trailer and you'll see it's still the same low poly TBC model. I believe for the close up at 2:38 he used a clever trick by using an updated blood elf player model, but that only worked there because you can't see his gear.
Watching these remastered cinematics really makes you awe how good this game was back in the day. All the hard raids, dungeons, the guilds, the friends you made. Such an incredible experience.
@@ЕленаТимошенко-х5ы I mean we just got to play as the Broken. For them it's hard enough to stay sane at all, evidenced by the many feral Broken that roam Outland.
No he wouldn’t have. Legion was a mistake, and I’m surprised at the sheer number of BC fans who ate up an expansion that retconned the only plot of BC.
You do realize the "plot" of TBC was all over the place, yeah? There was next to no consistent story. They re-wrote TBC because it didn't make much sense. I believe even Blizzard admitted that TBC was a mistake in the lore.
GGTeMpLaR incorrect. In Warcraft 3, Illidan’s arc was that he wanted to show his brother that the demons had no control over him...so he became a demon and was cast out for it. Not sure which part of that screams “he is the chosen one, destined to destroy the Legion and bitchslap the holy light with his dick #hailvoidlords” BC may not be my favorite expansion, but making illidan the villain was the second logical conclusion from The Frozen Throne (the most obvious being that he was dead, either from being pwned by a human or being slain by his master for his failure - fuck Legion, there was no “grand overarching plan”, he wanted power, Kil’jaeden offered him power, and he didn’t care if he broke the world and created the Forsaken in the process, he wanted power).
Kael'Thas: Then we must seal them... permanently *makes a happy face* I don't think your meaning of "sealing them" is consistent with what we're thinking Kael'thas
Well if this was your last remastered cinematic for this year (2019) hopefully you come back bigger and badder in 2020 and beyond. Simply breathtaking!
This is the kind of thing that keeps me going in WoW, through my years, this expansion has been the worst yet and everyday I think about quitting. However seeing these old cinematic's and just remembering the game in it's glory days of being a real active MMO, and how exciting and unique the raids were, gives me hope and makes me play another day. Absolutely stunning video sir
I have a feeling this was to stay as faithful as you could to the original cinematic, but I was kinda disappointed that you didn't use Warlords of Draenor's Temple of Karabor before its takeover and corruption. A missed opportunity, I think. Still, an excellent video! Gotta love using newer models and techniques to bring life to old videos. Especially loved how you used Illidan's old WarCraft III voice. I missed having Matthew King for Illidan. :l
I still hate the way Blizzard did Kael'thas' model. His arms were NOT MEANT TO CLIP OUTSIDE THE CLOAK LIKE THAT. They NEVER were, but Blizzard didn't know how to do a full body cloak like that with WoW graphics and models at the time!
They still don't know. I find it funny how they waste time on cloak designs when every sane person just hides their cloak anyway due to it clipping through arms, weapons, legs, mounts - basically everything.
@@skyhdlyra "almost gave us something awesome", "chickened out" . just no dude. That's not how concept art works. Not on WoW, not on cars or anything else basically.
This is incredible. The amount of time and effort you must have put into making this is very apparent, and from what I've just watched it has paid off tenfold. Again, it's absolutely amazing. Well done.

This remaster is awesome, and replacing the old Gul'dan model by the new one was clever, but then, you should have done the same with the Staff of Sargeras, that Ner'zhul used to open the rift that ultimately created the Outland. It's not something too big, but it would have been a nice little detail. ^^
@@RatchildUK Ah, a "connaisseur", that warms my heart. ^^ Also,, neat trick when zooming on Kael'thas face, he switched it with a new Blood elf model instead of keeping the low resolution model.

You did your best i can't deny that. But imho this cinematic is just too old to look nice even in a remastered version. Watching it just felt off for me in multiple places (some of the models don't age well and their emotes are just off putting - especially the broken models). Again i'm not denying your hard work in comparison to the original the improvements are there - it's just that they can't save this cinematic One change i would suggest tho is that you could've used the Temple of Karabor on Draenor as the "before" for the Black Temple (i know its different than what is in the cinematic but it *is* a remastered version so you're completely free to change things from it to make it better)
Somewhat excited but at the same time frightened by seeing your "Probably my last remaster for this year" got something big coming up this year, eh? (please don't tell me you are quitting this :( )
