Warcraft: Orcs & Humans - All cinematics and mission briefings

[@joelalain]

wow havent seen this in like 24 years... and remembered that intro like it was yesterday!

[@aliceblack6242]

Warcraft series is immortal:)

[@KarnageKollectibles]

Man I still remember it like it was yesterday booting up the family PC that took about 5 minutes to start, then putting in the floppy and playing this game all day. I miss that shit. No worries, no stresses of life, just gaming bliss.

[@mileshill7196]

The Warhammer influence was THICK in that first game.

[@gypruzzcaccamo6586]

It's because it was supposed to be a Warhammer game at first, but deals failed, so Blizzard made their own game.

[@andrewvincent7299]

@@gypruzzcaccamo6586 Best thing that ever happened to Blizzard. Warcraft became a cultural phenomenon for awhile and made Blizzard a lot of money. Warhammer is still cool but it's pretty niche and hasn't broken through the mainstream.

[@gypruzzcaccamo6586]

@@andrewvincent7299 I think it's mainly because it has TONS of lore. Basically all my friends that were ever interested in Warhammer or Warhammer40k and asked me about it in the last 25+ years, always told me that they would really love to get into either of them or both of them, but the sheer size of lore always scared them off. While both Warcraft and Starcraft are much easier to get into... I mean, not counting the last 15+ years of bullshit from WoW lore.

[@JPerez-d7t]

Yeah warcraft in its vague and unfleshed state was a great plot world to design fantasy stories in. Fantasy is best lived as just that; fantasy. Too much lore and people lose interest. Make a story people can imagine the details for

[@Truthhurtsbad]

I'm here to collect more info on this game as an employee lol.

[@StevenMichaelCunningham]

I want to use the war craft 3 world builder to recreate the entirety of the lore as a progressing occurrence no matter the do's or dont's of the player or players. You get to be involved in this or that be it critical to the lore or not but it continues on as is. After that....it is a free to wander just as it ever was. Voice acting & all. You choose between being a commoner, noble or imperial amidst it all. Or you elect to go rogue entirely with one of the backgrounds being a thing you learn of yourself. 🤷

[@dvened]

any update?

[@ladyvictory5326]

@@dvened yeah fr this sounds sick.

[@ゆっくり青蛙子]

A game gave us very high-fantasy vibes and atmosphere... Wow's map was first designed in the concept of this game's lore. The human original areas are so well designed because of this.

[@joelubas1752]

The next World of Warcraft should feature an alternate history where the humans win this war

[@LordThomasPassion]

Or, if Arthas listened to Medivh.

[@joelubas1752]

@@LordThomasPassion that could be. But let’s talk, what do you think the aftermath of a Human victory in the First War would look like?

[@leeeroyjenkins555]

​@@joelubas1752maybe it just skips tides of darkness and goes into the beyond the dark portal arc?

[@joelubas1752]

@@leeeroyjenkins555 that’s exactly what would happen. The hypothetical sequel with the Human Ending features that. It flat out says that. Could be interesting, no? I guess it could happen say if Orgrim Doomhammer’s attempt to take control from Blackhand failed.

[@joelubas1752]

@@leeeroyjenkins555it could happen. Doomhammer’s mutiny fails. What would Beyond the Dark Portal look like

[@Retnoob]

I want to hear this human credits music with the full Blizzard treatment somewhere during the Worldsoul Saga.

[@donwald3436]

Welcome to the World of Warcraft? lol

[@zlosliwa_menda]

Ikr, biggest foreshadowing of the 20th and 21st centuries.

[@watergirl929]

Lol right!

[@Notenoughwin]

That's where they got it from!

[@bobdole7451]

These guys should sue! Activision stole their idea!

[@twonumber22]

If anyone can help me remember a game very similar to this with one difference being that you also built water bases or something like that and ships that attack and transport? I'm trying to feed a nostalgic itch b/c I have a terminal illness. Thanks in advance

[@andrewmitchell1829]

Loktar ogar!!! This game is hard maybe I just suck

[@theblackgoatofthewoods]

Love theise games! But Blizzard made one tiny error. When the Orcs win they talk of "the Portal" and if you don't know about the Dark Portal you will think "Portal??? What portal??!"

[@cheddar950]

i think it kinda gives an answer to the question presented in the start cinematic.

[@theblackgoatofthewoods]

@@cheddar950 All it say there is that the Orcs presence is a mystery

[@cheddar950]

yeah but then you kinda go."Oh, they came through some kinda portal." and also the manual told of the portal a few times.@@theblackgoatofthewoods

[@theblackgoatofthewoods]

@@cheddar950 That is assuming you got it on cd. I had the discversion with no video and at the tender age of 7-8 I didn't read any manuals.... Since my english was not that good. So when the endtext talk of a portal (my dad translated) I was like "What portal?" It could have been expanded a little while being part of the game. The orcs getting reinforcments for the final battle and the humans investigating a rumor after the death of Medivh....

[@cheddar950]

yeah im not trying to prove that the game is perfect, just that when i played the game for the first time i just thought it made sense.@@theblackgoatofthewoods

[@anotherordinaryguy4992]

How do I download this game?

[@aliceblack6242]

You can buy it from gog.com :)

[@leeeroyjenkins555]

​@@aliceblack6242wish it was free like sc1

[@kaitracksmalgom]

Wait these campaigns have different endings which one is canon?

[@zlosliwa_menda]

The orc campaign's ending is canon (Stormwind is sacked), but some parts of the human campaign that don't contradict the orc campaign are canon too (notably the Karazhan mission where Medivh is killed). In Warcraft 2 we learn that some of the humans of Stormwind evacuated and sailed north to other human kingdoms. For some reason the movie doesn't follow the canon and does its own thing. But I prefer to think the movie simply doesn't exist.

[@gypruzzcaccamo6586]

It's actually a mix of both. Same for Warcraft 2, and also for Warcraft 2's expansion.

[@justin5002]

Still remember having to explain what an orc was to my dad😂😂😂

[@PadraigG8]

NGL, I checked out after the Orc campaign.
