I've been a hardcore gamer for quite a while now since I was like 10, andthe trailer for Diablo 3, the music, the suspence, and the words, just gave me a chill, and I dont think I have ever seen a better trailer for a video game.
I really liked the Starcraft 2 trailer, and think it's at least on par with the Diablo 3 trailer, and I'm not even a Starcraft fan, heh. So no, I don't think the Diablo 3 trailer is the best ever, but it is good. :]
Yah that trailer was designed mainly for the revealing of d3 in june. If you notice it kind of hangs you in suspense about what game it actually is you are watching the trailer for....It gets more descriptive each moment until the big demon at the end pretty much seals the deal followed by the d3 emblem. For what it was designed for it was awesome but far from the best trailer ever.

I thought the trailer was actually pretty lackluster. The narration had large gaps in it, which are usually used to anticipate the climax, which really didn't happen. The ending just wasn't powerful enough, and as I said, the gaps in narration were a bit too long, at least in the beginning, which just came off as annoying.
A couple of the narration lines should have coincided with scene changes, which were a second or two off. The beat at the end was pretty fast, but it was way faster than the scene changes, except for the very end.
Don't get me wrong, I liked it, and it was still kind of cool, but it wasn't impressive. I've only watched the trailer two or three times so far since it came out. On the other hand, I can't even count how many times I've watched the SC2 trailer in the first week alone since release.
It's hard to say what I didn't like about it, but I just wasn't that thrilled with it. I used to play D2 way more than SC and I've been anticipating a D3 game more than SC2, so I don't know why I watched the SC2 trailer way more than this one.
yes the sc2 trailer was awesome. so much power to it.
I think the diablo3 trailer was to many of us, lacking. I think its because:
A: it has been diluted heavily as to cream the suspense (just take a look at the threads here at dfans about how ppl have been interpreting every image)
B: We were expecting a trailer. We never got a trailer, we got a teaser... (theres quite a difference I.M.O.
Going back to point (a) what i mean is, the story behind D3 is so huge and secret that this is all thatcan be revealed for now... Mind u, D2's 'reveal teaser' felt the same way back then. And so did WC3.
I think the real game cinematics are gonna own.
Remember 'The sister's Lament' from D2.
"East... Always, into the East" with Diablo II scrambling together on screen in flames. Way cool.
D3 will be cooler...
Ummm... no. The thread subject asks if the trailer is the greatest ever. I didn't think so and I gave my meager reasons why. I figured this would be a thread where people could share their impressions of the trailer and why they did or did not like it.
Are you the police for trailer police? If so... be gentle... please...
All I know is Diablo III's trailer is the best they have ever made to date - it totally owns Oirignal WoW / BC / Starcraft 2 hand down... but I bet Wrath of the lich king might take the crown so to speak soon.
I'd rather see the actual custscene that all of those scenes fall into.
Blizzard cutscenes are always awesome, at least the CGI done ones. The only ones I've seen that come close are the intros for Dawn of War and Dawn of War 2.
Other than that, I really want to see the SC2 intro now.

I'm a HUGE Blizzard fan and all, but truth can't be denied, so here are the two really best trailers/CGI Intros EVER (imo):
Damn dude, I'm a HUGE Fallout fan, and Fallout intros are awesomely superb indeed! But I think te opening poster is talking about CGI stuff, and Fallout is more cartoon + "real world" scenes.
By the way, give it a lurk here: www.nma-fallout.com I bet you'll feel home :thumbsup:
It could have very well been the 4 year inticipation that helped me feel like it was the best ever, but at the same time it was badass!!
I'm pretty sure blizzard made that teaser trailer for all the fans that waited SO long, it wasn't meant to capture peopels attentions so much as it was to please the fans, which is what I liked the most about it.

The original Dawn of War intro is so sick.
"Incoming!"
And then the Dreadnaught comes and starts blasting the hell out of the hill.
The trailer is K, but I don't think it's even great. It did give me goosebumps, but that's only because it, was, well, like: "Aaarrrgghhh it's DIABLO!"

watching it still gives me goose bumps, sends shivers down my back, and makes my eyes water. (yes I know... all symptoms of nerdgazim)
and I doubt I will ever forget the day this game was announced and this trailer revealed.

Goddamn Dreadnaughts are cool.
Okay so getting on topic, I thought the D3 trailer was pretty awesome. The best? Can't really say... maybe.
