Cinematics In SC2

[LDawgg]

After seeing the trailer for SC2, and for WotLK, what do you expect as far as the cinematic cutsceens in Starcraft 2 go? Will they be as crisp as the trailers? How long/short will they be? How often will they show up? What will be in them?

[HazzaDaShiz]

I'm expecting very high quality cinematics, to be honest.
I doubt they'll be as crisp as the trailers, though they may well be close or equal.
Maybe after every mission?
And storyline fill-ins, furthering of the plot, justification of the next mission.
I think.

I doubt theres to be a cinimatic for every mission. More like at major plot points.

I'm thinking realistically that it'll be like BW, with an intro and one medium-length cinematic per campaign. Secretly though I'm hoping for multiple cinematics like the 6 minute SCG intro. That was amazing. Although I'd prefer multiple small ones to just one like in SCG. I doubt they'll go for the SC1 lots of little insignificant cut scene style again.

[DarkMirror]

I really hope they'll go more along the lines of SC cinimatics again. With all the crazy number of paths it can take, I wouldnt be suprised if there were a number of them.

Blizzard really steps up the bar with the cinematics. They just take them over the edge. And I love it. Hell, I would buy SC2 just for the cutscenes because they're going to be that good.
There will definitely be several throughout each campaign.

How do you know that Ghost only had one cutscene? Only one was released, but that doesn't mean the game couldn't have been cinematic driven.

I expect SC2 to have several high-quality major cinematics, and several small ones.

Gah, I saw it announced somewhere, but I can't remember... Looking around...

The Warcraft 3 cinematics were DivX quality(a.k.a. super duper awesome quality).I expect them to be more than that.

I hope they release the SC Ghost cinematics as SC2 bonus extras if you beat the game or something. They were pretty nice looking.

[Sento]

With the quality cinematics they showed at blizzcon and all that, it's be a real dissapointment if the cinematics in-game werent as good, so they will probably be excellent quality

Yeah, but they won't.:concern:

[masterofhobbiton]

Chim used plural forms, so I followed suite.
