BlizzCon 2009: The Cataclysm trailer

The Cataclysm cinematic, as first shown this afternoon at the BlizzCon 2009 opening ceremonies, is pretty darn epic (as all of Blizz's cinematics have been, really). If you haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet, fear not - there are options. You can watch it embedded above in this post, or you can head on over to Blizzard's official site and watch it streaming or download a high-quality version.
And you definitely should watch it if you haven't yet. There's a ton of good information right here on WoW.com, but a video is worth quite a lot of words. There's even a gnome in this one! (A priest, near the end.) Not to mention goblins, which I hear are the new gnomes. I am incredibly excited.
BlizzCon 2009 is here! WoW.com has continuing coverage, bringing you the latest in Cataclysm news, live blogs, galleries, and reports right from the convention floor. Check out WoW.com's Guide to BlizzCon for the latest!

Drop the whole it's the same old content, it's not. Everything is being completly redone. The 1-60 content is old, it looks like crap, I'm amazed people still by the game it's so dated. This redo of the old zones are going to bring them up to date graphicly. It would have been easier to make a new world like Outland than to redo the old content because the bar is going to be so high in order to make people think it's worth it.

Cataclysm depresses me. Seems like the Night Elves lose practically everything. 8'(

They pretty much do =((

And seem to gain pretty much nothing in return. Le sigh.

Giving them the mage goes against so much lore.

That was my 4th time watching it. I love the narrator's voice! "Venturing boldly into the forgotten bastions of antiquity!"

The trailer has done what I didn't think could be done; it's convinced me to buy another WoW expansion.
If I could add one thing to the trailer, though, it would be this:
WARSTOMP AND BUBBLE HEARTH MACRO.

ZOMBIE JESUS H TAPDANCING CHRIST!
Is that... a new model...FOR AN OGRE!?!?

And I thought the WotLK trailer was awesome.
Narrator aside, I got chills when he said 'Deathwing has returned."

"Heroic Classic Instances: Dead Mines and Shadowfang Keep" did any1 else see that, or am I just seeing things?
deluded spider Aug 22nd 2009 2:22AM
You're not seeing things. :D They mentioned that it would be "what you'd expect" for heroic mode at level 80 or 85 or whichever it'll happen to be. Fun! I love SFK.

This expansion doesn't really excite me much at all. Old wine, new bottle pretty much.

Since when does seven entirely new zones = old content?
That's only one fewer than Wrath has.

Sometimes mate, as wine ages it gets better ;)

WOW! Everything is exactly how WOW Insider predicted it.
It is almost as if they were professional journaists who went with the story because they trusted the source.
Imagine that.

they got it from mmo champion

Just a tip for future posts - please don't write articles about the evils of gold selling and then have it sponsor your embedded videos. Its no longer just the "cheaters" keeping them in business.

Goblins and Worgen... Human Hunters and Tauren Pallies... LV 85 HEROIC DEADMINES AND SFK?!?! :D :D :D

Heroic deadmines?... Fuck yeah!
And meh narration could have been better. The girl who did the original WoW narration and the 2nd one was good...
This one [narrator] sounds like a wanna-be Peter Cullen (He does Optimus Prime's voice and Ironhides voice too)

Urgh, I think you are forgetting the number of trash mobs in deadmines. I suppose it would be ok if they just cut the "HUH!" agro sound away from the Defias Miners ;)
