  • Be awesome if Blizzard could rerender these cinematics at 1080.

  • Badass fact: If you go to this room in WoW and turn your Ambience all the way up and sounds and music all the way down you can hear bits and pieces of this and when Arthas killed his father in ghostly whispers.

  • can someone say me text medivh in 3:04-3:18?

  • @thecaw35 I failed humanity once before...and I will NOT do so again. If you cannot take up this cup, then I shall find another who will.

  • @661Sunshine Thx

  • The king until 1:16 was actually SLEEPING!

  • the kirin tor and medivh tried to warn them, so they payed the price

    bunch of idiots these ambassadors

  • Comment removed

  • the morral is : speaking in hyperbole won't get you anywhere

  • Warcraft - what was happened to you? You used to be a truly epic and mature tale, but now you are just some teen aimed anime and pop-culture fest!

  • medivh ho is he what is the story

  • is Medivh a mob in WoW?? his name sounds familiar...

  • @DCloonix Karazhan was his tower, and you help him create the Dark Portal in a Caverns of Time dungeon.

  • That Guy was either the king or Arthas did you hear him he said i have failed humanity once before or at least I think anyone care to explain?

  • Here's a good idea if you actually want people to listen to what you have to say: DON'T SPEAK IN RIDDLES.

  • @TheAle89515 i know huh just tell them straight up thats why some of those damn mystics and wizards make bad messengers haha

  • @TheAle89515 How is "travel west to kalimdor" a riddle? lol

  • @grobo11 That wasn't the riddle... the explanation WHY was the riddle... and most people don't just do things you tell them to unless you give them a reason they can understand. (Did I really just have to explain that?)

  • @TheAle89515 Even if he had made a clearer explanation, what makes you think that people would listen to him anyway?

  • @grobo11 Because in lore terenas did everything for his people and if he knew what would happen to arthas and everything else he would surley do as he was told

  • A king who deosnt know how to listen is not wise at all.

  • Who was that guy? Was he a druid?

  • @crazyacid77 Wow. First impression: I don't like you.

    Medivh was the former Guardian of Tirisfal, killed in Warcraft 1 by the armies of Stormwind because he created the Dark Portal and let the orcs into the world. He was possessed by Sargeras though, and here is trying to make amends for what he did.

    He was the owner of Karazhan.

    So no, he's not a druid. He's not any WoW class. He's just Medivh.

  • @KisiroKitsune He is a Guardian. Not any WoW classes playable.

  • @darkwarrior303 That's what I said.

  • @KisiroKitsune He does have a WOW class....he was a mage and the Instructor of Khadgar before he was killed by his apprentice and Anduin Lothar

  • @TheGMAC23 That's simply wrong. Medivh is nowhere near as limited as a mage is in WoW.

  • @KisiroKitsune Read Tides of Darkness and tell me he isn't a mage...He was a powerful member of the Kirin Tor...an order of Mages

  • @KisiroKitsune and I understand that he isn't as limited as a WOW mage but that's because he is part of the Lore...a WOW druid will never be as powerful as Malfurion Stormrage but he is still a druid nonetheless...make sense?

  • Shoulda listened to the Kirin Tor

  • I remember long ago, a few years ago, when I didn't really know there was a Warcraft (had only ever played WoW), I saw this by mistake, and I kept debating in my head if those were actual actors or graphics. I mean, know I can easily tell, but it's amazing that before the graphics actually tricked me!

  • I'm guessing the "one who will" is Jaina Proudmoore...

  • @defern64 you mean jaina proudwhore

  • "The warning has been given. Their fate is now their own."

  • Simply fantastic!

    "If you cannot take up this cup, then I should find another one, who will..."

  • @sphage arthas was a douchebag lol. and yes he did die in WoW: Wrath of the Lich King. He is a raid boss. I had figured that you were being sarcastic since whether you played WoW or Warcraft RTSs he made alot of decisions on his own, like the purging of the city killing a whole city of innocent civilians. he was a douche bag ^^

  • I only wish it looked like this ingame,..for the game play.

  • I got to play Warcraft 3 now. lmao

  • i cant find warcraft 1 or 2 ANYWHERE!

  • @Curtofthehorde94 blizzard.com, if u go to the games tab on the bottom left there will be "looking for older games" thats where i got it from.

  • @Curtofthehorde94 sorry on the botom left after u go into the games tab.

  • Wow that looked awsome.....the only thing is the lip sync was really off

  • @ImBored1003

    Might be cause of youtube :/

  • @ImBored1003 it's because of youtube.

  • @ImBored1003 Warcraft 3 is an amazing game, they put so much more time and effort into there little cinimas back then...have you seen the Pandarian Cinima...its terrible.

  • i hate how some of the voices are off. but the graphics are still good.... but still it annoys me.

  • 0:45 holy shit, graphics are so epic THEY EVEN INCLUDED LITTLE DETAILS LIKE ANTS!

  • @DamnedUsernameThing

    I read in an Blizzard interview to the cinematics of Warcraft III that they actually designed every little piece of stone on the ground in this council hall. One might think it is a flat texture with bump mapping and whatnot, but it is not. It blew me away to read this Oo

  • @TeronGer

    Anyway it's much more difficult to model/texture/animate characters than floor bricks. It's like ten times more difficult, just look at all close-ups to the faces.

  • @Vormblood

    Ofc, I agree :)

    I was just pointing the additional effort they put into that scene when a normal texture with placement mapping would have done the same.

  • The human mage (The Bird) is Medivh he was the last Guardian of Tirisfal, an ancient line of protectors bestowed with great powers to do battle with the agents of the Burning Legion.

    He was corrupted even before birth, and possessed by the spirit of the demonlord Sargeras who used Medivh in his plan to conquer Azeroth. Medivh contacted the orcish warlock, Gul'dan, and together they opened the Dark Portal

    Shortly before the beginning of the Third War, Medivh returned as a mysterious prophet. ^^

  • 2:41 U MAD BRO?!

    (I couldn't help but think of this when I heard this part)

  • WC3 FTW!!!

  • Music when Medihv said "I have failed humanity once before..." ?

    3:04-3:24

  • blizzard please make a film it will be beast!!

  • "There is no proof of your plague!" "Oh jesus shit fuck we're all dead."

  • Its funny because the man was totally right and the scurge took over lorderan and the Hunmans went to the forgotten lands XD

  • i liked it when Medivh turned from adorable birdie into a guy. pretty cool.

  • the majority or gamers are in their 30's dude.

  • this trailer still look sick, no mater how many time i watch them.

  • Are these cutscenes from the game?

  • Hmm Medivh's voice reminds me Raziel's voice from Soul Reaver... He is a very very interesting, and marvellous character.

  • @sphage Too late, he's dead.

  • u stupid wow players... the only real warcraft is 1,2 and 3... U only know how to put on your shinny ass armour and don't know anythink about story, because Wow dosent really have one...

  • are you seriously beating on people for not knowing some storyline?

  • @Deronoth lol

  • Somebody sounds mad, posting on every video. Do you have life? In want to know. Also, Medivh > Anyone. If not for Sargeras having put himself/spirit/whatever into Medivh's mothers, Aegwyn's womb, Medivh would be the fuckin king... of.... awesome?

  • Actually it has. Multiple ones, in fact.

  • While I agree that Warcraft 1, 2, and 3 are far superior than WoW, no need to bash those ppl who don't know the story.

  • woah woah kid, no need to attack the "slow lore kids", if they can enjoy the game by sheer wow alone and no lore, then so what?

  • well then they should shut the fuck up!

  • The World of Warcraft is only for those people, who want to try Warcraft on theirselves...and I think its a great idea..its great game, but you cant compare Warcraft with WoW.

  • You do know that BLIZZARD creates ALL of the lore right? WoW is based on WC3 right when wc3 ends.

  • You are right, and it's not bad thing if Warcraft IV would base on WoW, however what most of us are concerned about is, that what if Warcraft IV would continue where the last WoW expansion "ends"....it would be so damn confusing and lame for us all WC RTS fans, if all the great villains would be dead, new characters we know nothing about and so on...

    No, Blizzard should do WC IV for the RTS fans, NOT only for those who have played WoW and so the story should continue where Frozen Throne ended.

  • @rexxar12345 Wow has about as much lore as WC 1 2 and 3. It is just presented differently. Such as being told stories by the NPCs. also You read the quests. which most people dont. There are also books and scrolls all over azeroth that tell different parts of the story. the game is set up way after WC3 so you are looking at the lore from the view point of someone that has to study history from folktales and ancient writings. well not all are ancient but a good bit are.

  • @ComocosonoEWL That's well written man! you convinced me partialy, but i still have a bad opinion.

  • @ComocosonoEWL You have a point...and i agree with you. But the only thing i really hate about wow is the continuos slaughter of heroes in order to refurnish the raiding community. But wow has its lore....and i must say most part of it are very good..... but most of wow players don't care about the lore..... unfortunately.

  • @ShinXari touching on what you said about "the continuos slaughter of heroes in order to refurnish the raiding community", i would have to agree to this. But furthurmore, what tends to irk me, is that the death's of these major character's such as the Lich King seemed downplayed compared to their roles in Warcraft 3, etc. You see them as powerful and fascisnating characters but then in WoW, they are merely weekly sources of loot. I also worry/wonder about the WC4 storyline (assuming it is made).

  • who was the guy in the red cape? im trying to put the peices together and figure out the secrets and common knowledge of WoW. nerdy eh?

  • @VietBrotherz the crow? He is Medihv

  • its Medivh or something...

  • He's Medivh, the Last Guardian. wowwiki him.

  • king terenas is an utter fag, it's all his fault arthas even became the lich king and killed everyone.

  • I don't think i would play warcraft4 in 2020..

    I'm 30 years old then..

  • I'm already 28 and will still play Starcraft II when it's out and ofc Warcraft 4 whenever it will be released :P

    I just love playing games. Especially from Blizzard^^

  • @TeronGer there won't be a warcraft 4 the Warcraft series ended when WoW came out :P

  • @TheRockingChar

    I sitll hope, they just continue with the story after Warcraft 3: TFT and ignore WoW ;P

  • @TeronGer I am with u man !!! If they will create WC IV please ignore WoW and start from FT ending .

  • @TeronGer

    They can't continue with warcraft because WoW is after warcraft 3, making it impossible to make a pre-quel to what's supposed to be a sequel. Having to update and re-finance WoW and it's story line in general :D

    That's a mouth full, read it over a couple times

  • @TheRockingChar not true.

    More than one statement of Blizzard says that history of warcraft is not affected by WoW. But is true, if it come out, it will be not tomorrow, maybe in a couple of years. At the moment the have starcraft2 giving much profit and it planned addons.

    After that there will be most likely a Warcraft IV. There are enough statements given by blizzard to prove that...

    But maybe we have to wait like the period between sc1 and sc2 ;)

  • lol

    i'll be 23!!

  • @Lawless9o Your loss

  • Do you know if there is going to be Warcraft 4? Maybe in 2020?

  • 2015-2017 my guess

  • or galaxy of starcraft

  • damn king thats what he got for not listening to medivh, now the scourge destroyed lordaeron and his son murdered him lol

  • That's right he wanted to save humanity but he was incompetent with dialogue hehe so it was his fault again.

  • So lorderon was the humans capital until the plague spread then it was stormwind correct? Tryin to get the lore down lol

  • There are several human Kingdoms in WoW lore. The Kingdom of Lordaeron was the dominant Kingdom in the north, and the other smaller Kingdoms around it mostly deferred to its power. To the south was the Kingdom of Stormwind, who are the playable humans. They're as powerful as Lordaeron was.

  • haha king and uther have teh same voice..."what is the meaning of this!"

  • no they dont, they have different voice actors.. tony jay voiced the king but he died

  • lal :I those guards arnt really awake during duty are they? They just stand there chilling while something magical and might dangerous for their king's happening xD. Same with arthas.. I know they didnt see it comming but they just stand there to once arthas slices a sword trough the king's belleh O.o

  • kings neck

  • Even Arthas cannot be completely blamed for his devotion to his country land. He was Fighting for his people to the end. I would not leave my country while I believe it can be saved and it would take me to see that EVERYTHING is lost for me to leave my country. So I cant understand Arthas and he was heading to a City that he thought might be plagued. His Countrymen. He had no time to listen. Jaina was the only one in a position to do this Arthas and Terenas had a duty to fight to the end.

  • King Terenas was Old you must remember. He is far too old to be leading his people to Kalimdor and fighting the Night Elves , Undead and Orcs and they did not know that the Plague was the Undead so he had no reason to go on such a long journey. How would you act if some dude walked up to you and said move to the north or you die.

    Furthermore it was ARTHAS who was the stupid one for not seeing the truth. but Arthas is cool in his Paladin AND Death Knight Form..Even though I do prefer his Paladin

  • Gah, I forget his name, he's a mage that was a guardian, but is dead now (In WoW's lore)

  • you talking about Medivh?

  • yeah

  • dumb humans! they should have listen to that man! otherwise they wouldn't be facing extintion!

  • Their reaction was natural. If you have a well-built kingdom, you won't leave that so easily. Besides that man could have been anyone. He didn't gave any detailed explanation.

  • yea, that's right.

  • because they didnt let him do this

  • well, Medivh kinda should have figured that out and at least told what was going on instead of speaking in riddles. "Heya, im Medivh, sorry for messing up that last time, but the plague is created by the undead out to kill you all and the demons are coming to spank you, please forge an alliance with the races in kalimdor and run for your lives."

  • @xbspiro He should be like , A gigantic legion of demons are comming to kick your ass so you should unite with the orcs to defeat them and jail your son because he will start an endless killer and will be corrupted by a sword .

  • @TheEMPEROR800 Maybe that would do while speaking to a psychologist about a nightmare of yours, but not in a diplomatic context. Not a bad try though. :)

    The best thing would have been to let them draw their own opinion by hinting one piece of information at a time. However, this is a rather slow process.

  • he can be called a mage, as you can call every warlock a mage (mage is not a strict term, its very open, like sorcerer, being who uses magic...)

    you people are just blinded by WoW classes...

  • Hah , samo srbin moze da bude ovako pametan , bravo care ;) totalno si u pravu

  • hahahahaha :)))))

  • I thought he was like... a Human druid xD

  • Mage empowered by other powerful mages.

  • @VyserisSrbija He is, or at least was, a mage at one point. In The Last Guardian, they often refer to Medivh as "The old mage."

  • He was possesed, opened up the portal which brought in the horde of orcs. In that way he did fail humanity indeed. You can consider him a mage, but since he (in warcraft 1) summons a deamon when you rush ( as the humans ) to kill him. You could also consider him a bit of a warlock. Eventually in warcraft 3 ( and now?), being a prophet, he probably still has great magic powers. But a druid? Druids do not use arcane magic, it's not because he can change into a crow or raven that he's a druid :)

  • why are you binded to classes and spells from WoW?

    you don't have necromancer for a class, and would you call a necromancer warlock? :P

  • no that's medivh a guy that's not really "human" anymore he gave up his mortality

  • Silly you... The bird - man is a witch, which did not concern to uniform рассе. Long all to explain, it needs in game to be played

  • Lore >> Game Mechanics

    Use your imagination

  • Hes a mage

  • this is lordareon right

  • yeah, lordaeron kingdom was the alliance once.

  • what did he mean by "i have failied humanity once be4"?

  • He lead the Orcs to Azeroth. You can read the whole story in the novel "The last guardian" :)

  • @TeronGer yeah he was in the orcs camagin and helped them

  • i ama death knightt

  • And then he wen't to thrall...

  • Medivh is not a druid. first of all, he's actually dead...this is like his pseudo spirit/whatever. second of all, in life he was an UBER powerful mage, the most powerful ever. so, if you want to call him anything he's a mage.

  • May I suggest the book "Arthas" as well as the book "The Last Guardian". Those of you who does not know Medivh should really get your reading glasses on, since he's one of the most amazing character in the Warcraft universe.

  • lol

  • This need clarification once and for all:

    Medivh is not a priest or druid. He's a mage, or "Magus" and falls under the category of "Guardian of Tirisfal" when it comes to school of magic.

    No Priest. No Druid.

    People are way too obsessed with the fact that he can turn into a raven. That doesn't make him a druid.

    When Medivh says he will find another who will, he ment no one individual in particular, but had several in mind. He ended up with Jaina, Thrall and Malfurion.

  • The Raven dude is like a Mage+Druid+Preist

  • no he is talking about jaina. the guardian already had plans to move the horde and the humans to kalimdore. he knew thrall would not fail him. but after the king blew him off he tried for Arthas. then the task fell to jaina who passed the test.

  • druid rock!!!

  • he isnt a druid...hes a archmage...different from regular ones

  • who's Medhiv talking about "i shall find another who can"? Arthas Menethil??

  • No, he's talking about Thrall.

  • is medhiv a druid ?

  • Mage.

  • hes more like a high priest, if i understand his background correctly hes the sole protector of the everglades, as his mother was before him

    when medivh was still in the womb the main demon (the 1 on the ice throne) posses him when hes still weak

    this deamon reveals himself once medivh and the world are ready to recieve the orcs into the world, after this, medivh stays to protect humanity

  • Nah just the last Guardian of Tirisfal

  • Yes, he's a druid

  • a movie wouldnt be such a good idea a tv series would be better if done correctly

  • I hope the world of warcraft movie is gonna be with this graphics !

  • i hope they'd do that, too! But i heard that they want to use real life actors and stuff...

    But i also heard, that the movie's gonna be released in 2009 :P And I don't think that's going to happen (unfortunately) ^^

    But... We'll see, when it they release it!

  • yeah i heared this too(Real life actors)

    but i cant imagin how it would look like .

    you know theres a real human but an animated tauren(im from germany idont know if Tauren is right)^^i think the tauren would be animated because im pretty sure there would be no human in a tauren costume^^

    so ... i hope they animate it like the WoW Game Trailers^^

  • haha guys in tauren costumes would be so awesome :D

    But really... I don't see any reason why you would make a real life movie when you have an awesome animation team that makes trailers like this one. And the feeling of an animated movie is much, much better for this kind of movie, too!

  • yeah

    so just let us hope that they´ll animate the WoW movie

    and just dont Fuck this up

    i realy hope that they gonna animate it and make the WoW movie become the Most epic movie of the last 4 years :DxD

  • I think even better :D Blizzard make things epic and so shall the movie.

  • I heard it's live action or something.

  • the "other" Medivh was talking about is Jaina Proudmoore...notice Theramore is in Kalimdor.

  • i want blizzard to make A MOVIE on warcraft!

  • @Hypersup they are

  • This is my favorit video on wc3 same with that night elf ending one with the world tree

  • true but you still have to relize what it contribute. wasent for lotr elves would still be thought of as the little guys making sanatas toys lol. alot of things got its roots from lotr

  • If Blizzard would make a movie of World of Warcraft... with the quality matching this quality, they would... outbreak imo!

  • Wtf guys,there are like a hundred movies of warcraft 3 and WoW,which shall we believe??

  • the ones that blizzard makes?

  • Yes..

  • "i will not institute quaratine w/o proof" fucking dumbass

  • WoW is a good game, but they really needed to stick with this amazing storyline, Warcraft is the best, even better then LOTR

  • QFT imagine a warcraft movie amazinggggg

  • they are making one

  • i love warcraft storyline and its lore but i wouldnt go that far lol LOTR is one of the best fantasty storys ever. i mean if there was no lotr WoW would be much diffrent then it is today. lotr is more well thought out and has much more to it trust me go read the similrillion (its like the history of LOTR what happend before lotr took place) its so well thought out and so much detail you dont remember half the name in it lol good book tho dont get me wrong tho blizzard did a good job

  • ...But, not everyone likes LOTR...

  • rofl are you sum kind of supernerd or something lol and you watched the same video a week later

  • there is 2 smart people in this movie its 1 of the councilar guys and Medich the rest of humans can go su-ck ba-lls

  • lol?

    who was better?

    humans and undead rocked orcs were monkeybrains like elves the treehugiehippies...

  • got some mother fucking chills from this Cen, Brovo, now if only they hadent fucked up everything with WoW.....

  • i feel like i am in cinema lol
