Hiring Hurricane for these trailers was one of the best choices Blizzard has made

[@rahundsigma]

The only content creator they NEED. All the other ones they bring on are so meh

Does Hurricane works for Blizzard now? Since when?

[@NostraDavid2]

@@VampireConnoisseur Probably freelance stuff, like WillE and PlatinumWoW

[@Dolbic.]

which is sad that the best thing blizzard can do is branding and marketing, but not actual game developing.

[@thedarkflowkiller]

the only good choice they have made in the past 5 years

[@Valvax4500]

This is pure Warcraft. Blizzard hiring this guy is the best decision they have ever made marketing-wise, this dude knows what he's doing and it brings me joy.

Blizzard needs to ctrl+C and then ctrl+V his art style straight into retail. If they want it to survive, they have to do something like that.

He's carrying them hard if he is doing this alone. Far better cutscenes than anything they put out.

1:50 is why The Lich King was the main and best villain of Warcraft. Fighting him wasn't like fighting any other boss, it felt like challenging the protagonist of the entire setting.

@@baitposterto put it simple , they only care about money

@cliq379 You uhh, kinda missed the point. WoW doesn't feel like WoW anymore, it's strived so far away from it's roots, it's just completely alien to what it used to be.

This makes World of Warcraft feel like World of Warcraft. Very good trailer.

[@richardhutchinson4663]

That was awesome! Puts into perspective what is actually happening when people are "raiding" in the instance raids. It's not just one group going in necessarily, it's a lot of raid groups. Very cool visualization of that concept.

It basically represents all players

[@Gio-ey3to]

this doesnt actually happen in raids sorry

[@00dragons00]

It kinda does though. Maybe not every single one but the majority.

[@tamiko_chxn4974]

It also explains why all the bosses are just waiting to be killed 1 by 1 instead of just charging against the group
