I really love game cinematics! Even game trailers that offer pre-rendered footage, or just plain awesome (near pre-rendered footage quality), short, video/combat sequences and the such are always astounding to see. Care to share some that you've found?

Below, I'll include some examples of the game(like) cinematics/trailers I enjoy.


WH40k Dawn of War game cinematic.


League of Legends season 1 trailer (shamelessly stolen from the resident thread).


Trailer for WH40k Dawn of War 2.


Trailer for Warhammer game (kinda low Q).


Trailer for WH40k Space Marines. Not the best example of what I like, but the quality was within acceptable range.

EDIT:
I DIDN'T MEAN TO POST


Another Warhammer Online trailer. This one is really cool, but kinda leaves me with an amputated feeling.


ANOTHER WHO trailer. However, it's an especially awesome piece an example of what I'm searching for.

EDIT:
wtf i swear i didnt hit post


Old WoW trailer-cinematic. Seriously, Blizzard always makes cool cinematics.


Sweet WC3 game cinematic, pre-rendered.

EDIT:
WTF


awesome WC3 cinematc; I usually don't like one-shot duels in cinematics, but when it's executed well, as in this video, it's also sweet.


WoW BC trailer. Pretty epic.


WoW WotLK trailer. It's all right, has a nice cool factor to it.

The beginning cinematic for SCBW is another good mention of the kinds of game(like) cinematics, trailers, etc. I'm looking for. I'd really appreciate it if you shared these sorts of videos and such.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Not a typical 3D render scene but cool nonetheless.

Dragon Age. Just <3

Slaughtering demons is always fun, no?

Lots of explosions. :D

Mostly ingame graphics, but still an awesome battle.

And don't you forget this...

This is one continuous storyline, so these are meant to be watched in order.






5 is my favorite part, 2 being my second favorite.

Sacred Ashes +1
The game is actually called Dragon Age. Dunno why they wouldn't say so in the title...
Sacred Ashes is the name of the quest that is depicted in the trailer.

About Dead Fantasy... well I'm not a big fan of these eastern martial arts fights where the characters defy the laws of physics but hot chicks and cool moves still made it enjoyable.

Yeah, about a year ago he said the next one would be out in about a year, so soon. I'm sure he'll keep working on the series for a long time.

Fix'd. Also Ill fucking kill Activision if they ruined MW3.



And you know what, this was one of the most epic trailers for a video game I ever saw.

Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!


Sorry about the text at the bottom. This is the best youtube version, and even this doesn't do it justice. Fullscreen and headphones = love. Sadly, I can't record at a good, consistent 24 fps.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
