This was just posted in the Diablo 3 general thread but I can't imagine anyone but the most dedicated D3 followers are still checking that very often so I thought this deserved a thread of it's own.
I really like the style of this cinematic although I've been told parts of it look to be inspired heavily from Guild Wars 2.
Enjoy!
I have a lot of D3 stuff on my youtube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you're interested in seeing high level PvP with commentary when release comes!
yeah the opening half of the cinematic with the animated drawings reminded me a lot of a guild wars 2 trailer
i might be alone in this but i didn't particularly like the intro cinematic... i felt the beginning half's action and feeling of "epicness" was dulled down by the use of stylized art even when animated... had it started off witht he drawings and evolved into full blown CGI i think woulda worked better...
the second half of the intro was bland...
and I really couldn't put my finger on why I didn't like this cinematic as a whole until just now... and i blame it on blizzard for releasing the cinematics out of order... watching this after already having seen the Black Soulstone movie diminishes this one's effectiveness... maybe that's just me

These D3 cinematics all have this full blown war and apocalypse feeling whereas in D2 it was like a creepy horror movie of sorts.
And am I the only one that's bothered by the script? Everything they say sounds really cheesy. And why is Leah shaking her ass so sexily while walking?
Blizzard really is the king of CG. Epic as always, everytime one of these gets released you wish there was a movie about it. Still hyped as hell about D3, and this sure made it even more so
Blizzard just one upped Guild Wars 2. The part where the crow flew off into smoke and hundreds of burning angles were falling off a cloud was fantastic.
I do notice that when Diablo burst from the ground they borrowed the animation of the frost wyrm breaking out of the ice from the WotLK cinematic.
