Well I'm not gonna lie but this was extremely disappointing and anyone who knows how proper animation looks like will agree with me.
It must have been made on very short notice because it was really short and really low on actual movement and it still managed to look poor and very un-fluid.
They should have went with their full CG thing because at least they know how to do that well. This 2D/3DCG mashup was just not good.
It's about what I expected. Looked like a Saturday Morning Cartoon. I cannot stand this style animation. it looks cheap and low budget. The voice acting over all was abysmal. For a 100% unlock, this was a major let down.
It was free. Stop whining.
There are plenty of free things but that doesn't mean they're good or welcome.
Not talking about the clip, just about that logical fallacy.
I agree, it was a comparatively bad video, especially for a 100% unlock, hype-builder.

Amen.
Looking at it from any angle still makes it look weak. Graphics? Almost no details, nothing to catch your eye on. Audio? Nope. Action? Still nothing, which is very disappointing, looking at how Blizzard's cinematics make you shiver just by looking at standing still character. Lore? Whatever, raise your hand if you didn't expect Imperius to be suspicious for some reasons.
Ehhh, seeing what Blizz gave out for completing 100% on StarCraft 2 promo website before it's launch, made me wait nervously for this video, but it turned out to be disappointment.
Anyone else feel like the Diablo one fell short? The Starcraft one was amazing. I found myself wanting to play the game even tho I was never interested in it before. The Diablo one felt like I was watching a trailer for a bad Avatar cartoon rip-off.
Disappointment
Yes, the D3 one was a major let-down compared to the SC2 one. It really didn't build any hype at all, whereas the SC2 one got everyone excited.
If you want to compare SCII with D3's 100% unlock, then I also suggest you compare D3 cinematics to SCII's 2D animation...oh wait.
I'm talking about what was possible the single most hyped cinematic for Diablo 3 prior to release (after watching SC2's, and expecting something as great). This animated short was very bland...even the story was lame.
Yep. The best pre-release cinematic for D3 that actually built hype is the dark soul stone cinematic. This cartoon video is probably the worst, with the class reveal videos being much more hype-building.
If your still logged in could you ask this question for me please?
Does the game key region restrict the use of game client in any way? For example, can I log into my account with a Korean Diablo 3 key attached with a US client? NOT a question about server

they only enabled the button for literally a second at two times...the chat is nearly over and i doubt they'll be re-enabling with the huge queue
also...they just confirmed tier EIGHT droppable gems...so much for it taking a year just to get a radiant star
I enjoyed watching the archangels in action, particularly Auriel. Also, the ending where Imperius goes through with "killing" Diablo in front of his fellow council members made for a good moment to show the perils of crossing the proverbial line.
My biggest disappointment? I had been hoping the animated short would be about ten minutes long, not six and three-quarters. Although, I think the fact that it was only done in 720p (and not 1080p) comes as a close second.
To put things in perspective, this cartoon short was the opening band. You were not expecting it and might like it because you like Diablo 3, but you're really here to watch Diablo 3 cinematics. The real act starts in a week, so it's okay to show up late.
I dont like the fact they gave this job to Korean director full of Japanese influence. It doesn't make this video unique in Diablo way but instead is pushing it towards Manga animation style.
Man this fully took me back to the days of watching Aeon Flux on my late nights. To have that style with my favorite Blizzard world is just too awesome. Very well done!
Peter Chung knows a hell of a lot more about animation than anyone around here. If you don't care for the style, I get it, but don't insult the man's work.
I don't really care who did it. I know it looked bad from all perspectives and that's what matters.
Even though I've only finished under 10 anime series, I think I have the right to agree. I didn't really care for the story, from the information given, we already know Imperious is the prima donna diva of the group. This just shows 'when' it started. Originally, developers mentioned that they made this short because they couldn't fit it into the game. I thought, if they couldn't make room for it in the game, then it probably wasn't all that great to begin with. I was right.

gah:(
thanks anyway
This is old school, kick ass animation!
was convincing the world he didn't exist.
My question is How are we suppose to be scared or threatened by Diablo if we know he's been whipped like 5 times already?
