Terenas' guards: "Arthas is coming my lord! And his skin is pale as death, he has white hair, his armor has skulls on it, and his new attendants smell like decaying flesh!" Terenas: "I'm sure it's just a phase!"
This is one of the cutscenes that was so well made, it stood the test of time. Still disappointing that the others aren't remade. They clearly show their age.
A cleaned up version of the original. Pretty good. And to all you complaining that this cinematic was not reforged/is the exact same as the original, yes it is. Blizzard said explicitly, MUTLIPLE TIMES, that they would not remake these.
Well from what i recall, i think they mentioned that All cinematics would be remade as Well, same as was the W3 intro cinematic. But thats only what i recall. If it aint true, i think i wont be buying it. Remade W3 cinematics were the only reason i wanted to buy and support the game.
Man, thats a shame. I was looking forward for things like Archimonde destroying Dalaran in a BfA quality-like cinematic, but now i think i dont need to buy it.
They didnt even bother to upscale it properly ! There is a single dude that upscaled them with OPEN SOURCE machine learning software and it looks 10x better !
The one thing they literally told us upfront when announcing Reforged was that the only cinematic that will be remastered is the intro one and the Arthas vs Illidan one although the latter would not be CGI. We might've been robbed of certain things, but this ain't one of em as this is what we've expected from the start.
They literally promised us upgrades to cinematics and this is pitiful. They did say not all will be reworked from ground up but it looks like not all means none at all!
@@almas4663 They also changed Arthas' attitude. He never was a misunderstood hero. Just a bratty royal prince who was too arrogant to accept councel and criticism from people smarter then himself.
Stratholme atleast is (the way they redid it in Blizzcon 2018 demo) and they said few other maps would be redone as well. While Ive not yet played the game to confirm it myself, they talked about Silvermoon and Dalaran also being bit different and more akin to what they looked liked in WoW. Also the WC3 demo maps (Exodus of the Horde missions 3-5) that were originally missing from WC3: Reign of Chaos were added in to Reforged so now when you play the Exodus of the Horde tutorial campaign it has all those 5 missions instead of just 2.
I have always wondered, and now that this is a more "recent" (albeit untouched) version of this cutscene, i ask: Is it an impression of mine or are arthas's guards undead already? I always thought they looked pale and even the royal guards seem unease when they see those soldiers.
They came from Northrend after staying there for a while. Of course Arthas and his guards would look pale. And about the skulls? Probably they assumed they were looted from the enemies they've slain
I always imagine this cutscene with a victorious Arthas coming into the throne room in his Paladin armor - Light’s Vengeance in hand, and kneeling before his father. Then Terenas proclaiming Arthas the saviour of Lordaeron, and - for doing what had to be done to protect the people - crowning Arthas King of Lordaeron. Together they walk arm in arm and celebrate peace with the people of Lordaeron.
I think this iconic moment deserves more than this! Blizzard Is rushing things out again, just like in 8.3. Please Bliz, bring back The unique art that we used to Love!
So glad it's not in 4k like that fan remaster. 4k just ruined the cinematic by showing all the tiny mistakes and technical restrictions back in the day. This is precisely what I wanted and needed: The same foggy fairytale aesthetic that's been going on for over twenty years, lads.
Even to todays standards these old cinematics hold up so damn well, I love it. I'm also really glad they decided not to remake them, because there is no remaking perfection. The "new" warcraft reforged looks like a disgusting mobile game, so they probably would have ruined these pretty horribly.
It's very hard to spot a 720 to 1080P upsacale on a phone. You'll see the difference on a PC as long as you make sure you don't watch this one below 1080 on youtube's settings. CZcams's compression techniques also mean that this upload is very slightly lower quality than the one that will play in-game, but that is very very marginal.
Stop being stupid with nagging, seeing how they did the intro and arthas v illidan i am happy they didnt touch the originals, and if you all forgot original ingame cinematics were in very badly compressed 360p and highest res available was collector's edition 480p which still was blurry in fullscreen. Now you see all the detail original team gave it. This one of few things i like in RF, because they messed messed up everything else.
More detailed in HQ , That's the difference. Looks awesome , look the light effects in the crown. I like what they did. I think they rewrote the audio or it is in a better quality ( My level of English stinks. I hope I don't have spelling mistakes.)
Blizzard: Guys, I think it would be a good idea to leave the cinematics as they are, people would like them to be the same without changes, we just polish them a little. 90% of the Warcraft Community : This entire company must be purged ...
it's the same thing, exept the details is a little more HD than before in other words a little less blurry than before... i'm a little disappointed with blizzard on this....
Am i the only one who appreciates that they didnt change any of main cgi cinematics? Because the ones they did change, were a total stiff anime disappointment, just look at the arthas vs illidan fight
... I don't know if it's just me or not, but some part of this actually look WORSE than the original. I know this cutscene is the exact same as the original only in higher resolution, but there are times when this cutscene just looks... Off.
I like how we were promised and shown upgraded cinematics like culling of strat only for them to make them sub par in game cutscenes. Refunding and never buying from actishition-blizzshart again
Really disappointed wth this tendenxy these last years to do "remakes" "reforges" "remastereds" "HDs" that just improve the graphics (and sometimes not by much and sometimes, sometimes add a little, very little gameplay twist and sell just because the nostalgia factor
What are you doing my son? Succeeding you .... farther. One of my favourite if horrible lines in gaming and fiction in general. And where still working on fixing this mess 25 years later, wait im wrong it just feels that long or maybe that was an idea that poped back in time to my brain now?

Reforged or not, this is still one of my favorite cinematics
This is the exact same thing as the original right?
@@STOKERMATHALLAN Okay
@@yanomamo89 still the models are pretty outdated, like Arthas looks great, but the orcs and other humans are pretty weird
Just in HD
I think it's a little more HD than the original, but the original was good on graphics anyways so harder to notice
Aren't some of the sound effects a bit more crisp and clear than the original?
Close to 17 years ago peeps, still holds up incredibly well.
I'm glad that they kept the original Scenes but now in HD.

Good. They shan't.
They didnt even bother to upscale it properly ! There is a single dude that upscaled them with OPEN SOURCE machine learning software and it looks 10x better !
one of the Best cinematics ever, remembering all the lines after all those years!
Still gives me chills years later!
I don't think this cinematic was reforged.

@@NoName1462 I'm not complaining. Just confused why a non-reforged cinematic is being titled as though it's a new thing coming with Warcraft Reforged.
They literally promised us upgrades to cinematics and this is pitiful. They did say not all will be reworked from ground up but it looks like not all means none at all!
@@nickiboy777 they were clear early on: the intro and arthas v illidan
@@nickiboy777 The only pitiful thing is how naive and delusional you are :)
Great move to keep it original. You just don't fix perfection
Nice clean up. Couldn't ask for more.
The higher definition makes it look so much more clearer... So happy they didn't remake these ionic cinematic though :D
They should They are not matching the canon story anymore. And deserve a graphical update.
@@099Nitro I know a lot about canon.Why it "didn't match" though?
@@almas4663 read the chronicles and novels. They changed stuff from the original presentation quite alot.
@@099Nitro In novels the only thing different in this scene was Falric and Marvin taking off the Guards..But Falric and Marvin are in this Cinematic
@@almas4663 They also changed Arthas' attitude. He never was a misunderstood hero. Just a bratty royal prince who was too arrogant to accept councel and criticism from people smarter then himself.
Still one of the greatest cinematics of all time
To this day this scene is one of the greatest in, dare I say it, video game history
Does anyone know what is Terenas saying while Arthas is monologuing in his head?
Looks like the same cinematic. Are any of the maps different?
Stratholme atleast is (the way they redid it in Blizzcon 2018 demo) and they said few other maps would be redone as well. While Ive not yet played the game to confirm it myself, they talked about Silvermoon and Dalaran also being bit different and more akin to what they looked liked in WoW.

Oof
Ah, originally back from when blizzard wasn't completely terrible.
Mmmm.. I expected a new one version, but.. okey, that's nice as well! :D
I have always wondered, and now that this is a more "recent" (albeit untouched) version of this cutscene, i ask:
Is it an impression of mine or are arthas's guards undead already? I always thought they looked pale and even the royal guards seem unease when they see those soldiers.
They are the famous Arthas's royal guards, Falric and Marwyn.
@@MrAndrosh oh, oooooh. So they aren't ONLY undead, they are death knights....
Well, thats informative.
They came from Northrend after staying there for a while. Of course Arthas and his guards would look pale. And about the skulls? Probably they assumed they were looted from the enemies they've slain
Ahh. Just like how I remembered it!
Best story in Warcraft!
SMALL INDIE COMPANY
Arthas with frostmourne sword 🔥🔥🔥
"Deja que se cierren tus ojos, ahora que los mios se han abierto"
"Este reino debe caer!... y de sus cenizas se levantara una nueva orden"
This was so epic. The universe built by the three Warcraft RTS games was amazing.
Sadly one stupid WoW Raid later this story was done...
Remember the first time you played, the shock you felt when basicly the entire Alliance was crushed by Arthas and the Undead 🙈
I always imagine this cutscene with a victorious Arthas coming into the throne room in his Paladin armor - Light’s Vengeance in hand, and kneeling before his father.
Then Terenas proclaiming Arthas the saviour of Lordaeron, and - for doing what had to be done to protect the people - crowning Arthas King of Lordaeron.

Эх молодость(
Guys this is not a reforged cinematic....this is a 2002 cinematic. Completely untouched!
I don't think they changed it. Other than some stuff looking a bit higher quality, but that could just be me though.
Fall of one king and the rise of another.
Where is the reforged part ?
Was expecting a renewed version :(
I think this iconic moment deserves more than this!

This cinematic is peak kino
1:26 "Vous n'avez plus à vous soucier du poids de la couronne... Je me suis occupé de tout"
Rip vf, tout le monde t'aimais.
So the English version still lacks the extra dialogue at the end?
just like the old one
First Azeroth (Stormwind) is destroyed in Warcraft 1. Then Lordaeron is destroyed in Warcraft 3
creo que quitarán el "deja que se cierren tus ojos... ahora que los míos se han abierto"
THAT'S MY BOYYYYYYYYYYY
Didn't see that coming.

Deja vu.
nothing changed, just 1080p instead of 360p
F for Terenas
May your eyes close, as mine just opened.
hard to make it better then the original was timeless made by good game devs
Them feels
Blizzard said they wont change anythin in the game ppl they just made it more HD
Am I only one who can't spot difference? I watch this on phone tho.
None of the cinematics got updated, blizzard said they wouldn't touch them.
@@obi-wan-cannoli Yeah you are right it's remaster not remake

Слово Reforged тут лишнее!
They changed the runes on frostmourne
Yeah now my tattoo has 2 extra runes
World of Warcraft needs cinematics like this again
Not bad for a 21 years old cinematic
WHAT? Reforged?
So the cinematic graphics weren’t brought up to current graphics?
I wish they went all out and redid all cinematics from scratch. Its just the same game with some polish
One of the best cinematic of the Warcraft universe. Thx god it's even more better now ^^
Is it reforged or replayed, or more accurately refunded
I was hoping they would remake these like the trailer one but the upres Is good too
It's the same as the original 20 years ago :s
Same as usual.
I want to see the community make warcraft 3 cinematic to humiliate blizzard
Can you still hear these echos above the Undercity? I always loved that
If only blizzard put new movie on it
Its the same cinematic, i thought it could be remaked
Artas is Alexi Laiho?
I though they remade the CGI cinematic? oh well
Arthas class changed cuz ret paladin was too weak. I dont blame him.
Cinematic looks great 👍 though.
So just more resolution...? and thats it...
Stop being stupid with nagging, seeing how they did the intro and arthas v illidan i am happy they didnt touch the originals, and if you all forgot original ingame cinematics were in very badly compressed 360p and highest res available was collector's edition 480p which still was blurry in fullscreen.

Arthas is bae ❤️
A bit more detail
Blizzard got lazy...
More detailed in HQ , That's the difference. Looks awesome , look the light effects in the crown. I like what they did.
I think they rewrote the audio or it is in a better quality
( My level of English stinks. I hope I don't have spelling mistakes.)
did really arthas killed his father? or some other dreadlord killed?
in undead campaign, arthas didn't know his dad dead.
Errrmm yes, he know that he killed him!?? 😁 He only says he didn't know that the urn contains his ashes
They reforged only the trailer cinematic, i got got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Blizzard: Guys, I think it would be a good idea to leave the cinematics as they are, people would like them to be the same without changes, we just polish them a little.
90% of the Warcraft Community : This entire company must be purged ...
People forget these cinematics take more than a year to make on today's standards and Blizzard said right from the start they wouldn't remake them.
It will be no problem for me it they werent charging 45$ for this thing, that the price of a full new game!
@@MrShadowThief they actually did say they were planning on remastering them but i guess bliz needs cash and they nostalgia baiting now
@MrCarlbarker These ARE remastered.
HD? wow Blizz. Thanks but I have this in 4k on youtube xD
it's the same thing, exept the details is a little more HD than before in other words a little less blurry than before... i'm a little disappointed with blizzard on this....
Why reforge something that's already in a good quality?
Am i the only one who appreciates that they didnt change any of main cgi cinematics? Because the ones they did change, were a total stiff anime disappointment, just look at the arthas vs illidan fight

no1 said there will be newer ones.
It's literally the exact same video from the original WC3 with a new, unarguably worse, voiceover.
Great dissapointment.
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REFORGED AND ORIGINAL HERE!
Yeah but just how Reforged is this, really?
upscaled, maybe some minor issues fixed while upscaling. Not much I would dare say though.
i dont see anything new
