Yeah it's not often a PATCH gets it's own pretty awesome video. I liked it. I'll never see the place, but it looks nice.. Title: Re: Black Temple Vid Post by: Chenghiz on May 17, 2007, 08:29:22 PM About my reaction. Sweet video, too bad very few people will ever actually enjoy the content.
Title: Re: Black Temple Vid Post by: Dren on May 18, 2007, 09:10:46 AM I thought the same thing. Then I realized that the instance itself won't be anywhere close to as cool as the video either, so I figure I won't miss much.
I probably had a better experience of that instance than anyone that actually goes there. It's all good. Actually, I wish they would put out videos like that for all the instances, even the old world ones. Title: Re: Black Temple Vid Post by: pxib on May 18, 2007, 03:54:49 PM The style and feeling match the Rufus Cubed gang that Blizzard hired to do gameplay reels after they won the video contest with The Return. I imagine this is proof of concept for further story-based content introductions... much better than the strictly play-based stuff they did for the Eastern Plagueland "World PvP" addition.
I've thought for a while that MMORPGs would be well served to hire a few machinema whizzes to do promotions like this on a monthly or even fortnightly basis. Offer player cameos to folks who win contests or complete certain in-game events... promote seasonal changes, patch additions, and history injections via visual storytelling. Let's hope that Blizzard not only continues this trend, but inspires other games to copy them. |
