Ingame cinematics may not be nearly as pretty, but the voice acting is top notch and it really draws you into the game. I hated the in-game cinematics of Warcraft 3. There are few worse ways to destroy immersion than watching a character get killed and seeing their "corpse" phase through the ground. =/ | ||

The graphics engine is great for what it is. An RTS game where each unit is meant to be viewed from a long distance and it can run well on older computers. But this is not an FPS game, the in game cut scenes aren't going blow you away. | ||

In game, I'm just killing things and not paying too much attention to the story because I'm busy actually doing stuff. On the other hand, the purpose of a cinematic is to forward the story, so more attention is spent on things like graphics. So if I'm watching a dramatic death scene or something, the vanishing body just kills the mood. Something that is an acceptable break from reality for gameplay reasons is not necessarily acceptable outside of gameplay. It's all about willing suspension of disbelief. | ||

Keeping the story progress through in game scenes lets you stay immersed. I think Blizzard intends for you Spazer to enjoy the story while you are in the game. | ||

It looks like we are going to have only intro and outro. For comparision in original StarCraft the cinematics were 20 minutes long and in Broodwar 12 minutes. What do you think about it? Is it enough? Possible DVD space issue - 4.7gb of room and cinematics likely to be 720p at a guess | ||

And while most of SC1's cinematics were fantastic, a few of them were pretty throw-away. Like that cutscene of the Norad II crashing, or the cutscene of the Zerg jumping into a random wormhole, or the cutscene of the Wraiths yelling "Yeeeha!" | ||

About the graphics engine. Blizzard has released a SIGGRAPH paper back in 2008 as reported on TL. It has been Blizzards intention from the start to do a lot of story telling through the normal graphics engine, and worked on making it look | ||
