I have always loved the cinematics within Blizzard games. They always add so much to the immersion, scale and quality to their games. One thing that I hope is that we will get the cinematics for D3 in true HD. The ones from WoW and SC2 seem to be not as sharp as they could be. I know it's probably a balnce between quality of definition against fitting them onto the disk. Idk. Thoughts?
While I'm not positive, I'm pretty sure the cinematics follow the resolution setting you choose, while their quality and detail stay the same regardless of your settings. I think in this day and age it should be assumed every PC can run HD video. I'm currently using a 2002 Acer with 1GB of ram and no video card at all, and I can still stream 1080p video off youtube, or watch 1080p digital downloads. Keeping in mind my screen isn't HD though haha.. Either way I believe there was mention of cinematics in D3 by the dev team at one point, can't recall exactly what was said. I'll search around and see if I can't trace my memory. I'm really excited for them though

I have always loved Blizz's cinematics, all the way back to Warcraft 2's short clips that only sorta connected to the story.
And SC2 was just disappointing, what with most of the cinematics being the in game engines. Sure, there were more of them, but they just were not as awesome.
Anyway, I'm sure D3's will be in HD, and, while we will probably get a number of in act cinematics made with the in game engine (like the introduction trailers for various characters).
Shoot when I watch D2 cinimatics I am like "WOAH!!!" cause there just that awesome....

The character trailers are in-game because that is what they are, it's just to show off what they can do with in-game graphics.
The real cinematic will be most likely with a amazingly crazy good graphics just like the rest of the 2008 & Up cinematics have been. Major eye candy so even people who don't play the game will be like "Woah, look at that commercial" or something along that lines.
