About Tyrael's new voice: is it just me, or does he sound like a black man? (Not being racist here, or saying that's why the voice sucks. Just curious)

Where did you find those videos? I'm curious to watch the Diablo cartoon.
Theres alink somewhere in this thread, diablo 3 wrath, just google it. About the voice actor i prefer the old one, i dont see why the old one wasn't used as he was featured in the last wow expansion and Malfurion Stormrage, so obviously he still does game voice acting.

I checked the spoilers and im excited for this game. the cinematics are awesome and very intricate. the music was timeless. i cant wait for the soundtrack of these cinematic scores.
im really looking forward to how blizzard will present these ideas to us. I'm more interested in how point a went to point b instead of the points spoiled already.
and shame on people who won't be getting d3 just cuz they dont like the cinematics. spend that money on rewatching the avengers in 3d over and over again lol.
Thing is, I don't want to be playing D3 and then be constantly reminded by how much the story irks me whenever I do quests. Probably won't be that bad though... but that final cinematic, the conclusion to a story driven single player*, is enough to give me second doubts (which I was already having after they announced no offline play)
*well, really it's loot-driven. So at least there's that
I really hated new diablo form, where is my beefy, muscley diablo that enters the gate in d2 it was a warrior diablo back then, now we have a spellcaster diablo (bodytype-wise) his shoulders almost reminds me of tier 5 Warlock set in WoW
Goddamnit Blizzard, why did you have to ruin something so close to my heart! Now I know how the Mass Effect people felt with ME3's ending... (okay, I'm being way overly dramatic. But still. Not cool Blizz)
First, Tyrael's voice actor is good. However, he's just not Tyrael. We had Diablo II + LoD and 10 years or so to settle into his character. His new voice just does not fit the character at all.
Cinematic quality - excellent, like always. Especially the angels. Holy shit those were fantastic.
Cinematic content - ugh. I was holding out and hoping that Blizzard would redeem the absolutely atrocious story from SC2 with at least a decent story in Diablo III, but the way they told the story in the cinematic is terrible (over-narration, terrible script for Leah and for Tyrael at the end) and the story itself is very meh. Like others have said, far too Hollywood, nothing dark about it, no subtlety or anything like that. Just pretty crappy and too many rehashed plot devices that weren't done uniquely at all.
I dont mind that they rehash pot devices or generall concepts, but when they do they should deliver them in a nice new package with atleast some unique twist to it. D3 unfortonately did neither of those things. THe last movie just makes me cringe.+ Show Spoiler +
MAN DEFEATED EVIL EVEN THOUGH WE SAID MAN WAS DUMB!!! HAIL MAN! I WILL TAKE MY PLACE AMONG YOU NOW! AS A MORTAL! FUCK YEAH GLORIOUS RIGHTOUS HOLLYWOOD INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH ENDING! YEAH!
Seriously compare this ending to Baal deceiving a guy, killing him, burning his current residence(mental hospital but still) to the ground as he walks away freely, laughing with his own soulstone. You just know shit aint over yet and shit is gonna hit the fan in the next expansion, Baal is pissed son! And the best part about it, when i played Diablo 2 i had no clue it was actually Baal until that last scene, not once did i think it could be him because i had no reason to. They didnt tell me everything, they held information back and in writing this is what causes the reader/viewer to get INTERESTED! It's freaking dramaturgy 101 Blizzard, god damnit.

Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself. They really jumped the shark on this one.
I like Tyrael's new voice actor. I don't think it is too bad. I mean, it is hard for some to get used to is since we've played the old games for so long and it takes time to adjust. The same goes for Zeratul's new voice actor in SC2.
