Witch of the 2 new trailers is the best? I dont want to compare the games just the trailer.. i dont play either game so dont really care :) Just curious what ppl think about the trailers.

WoW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDlaHzBo5NE

WAR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKOhzfkCdbY

WAR looks impressive... but WoW is already in... and with the human conduct of psycological inertia people will by default stay in what they are and avoid changes, this includes mmo switching...   non of the less they are great games...

By the way I am looking foward for AION...

Honestly? I think Warhammer wins out. I saw the Lich king trailer, and while its great and looks nice, warhammer just grabbed my attention. Sure it was sweet seeing the former body of Arthas stirr to life, wander from the throne, and with a thrust of Frostmourne, force the remains of a large dragon to crash through the ice and soar through the air.

Warhammer though, felt like it had more. There were several suprises in the game. Like when the Squig Herder brought out his pet and started beating it over the head, only for it to seemingly devour it, in reality he's chillin insiide the thing. Theres more, but for those who are reading this and havent seen it, I wont spoil the rest for ya :D

I disagree---  I think when it comes to eletronic entertainment people always want something new.

Also anyone who doesn't have a lvl 70 character is going to be uninterested with the expansion.

Plus Warhammer is just a flat out better game then Warcraft (been testing). 

Look at Everquest 2 they could release 5 more expansions and it will do nothing to increase their player population.  Sure you will have die hards but Warhammer is gonna blow socks off of Warcraft.

you want a better warhammer cinematic click my sig.

Definitely agree with Cursedsei.

The WoW Trailer was brilliant and up to a Blizzard standard. But you have to realise the obvious:

WoTLK: Expansion

WAR: Game Release

Naturally significantly more resources went into making the WAR trailer what it was. 3 minutes of little action vs. nearly 5 minutes of MASSIVE action. I'll still say Blizzard had slightly better art direction, but by now its pretty much an artform. That isn't to say WAR's cinematic wasnt just purely stunning. Certainly the best thing I've seen for some time!

I think it was smart that both companies made their videos with different focuses. They can't really directly compete with each other in terms of themes.

Thumbs up to both CG teams

I was underwhelmed by the wrath of the lich king video, as I want to see some freakin gnomes already. I was thinking to myself, ok when is the action going to start? and it never did.

The WAR cinematic however kept me entertained the whole time.

Personally I think Mythic needs to buy WHA's trailer from that and use that as there cinematic for a TV commercial or something like that lol.

My 2 cents on this.

Alright you have the WoW trailer. Looks great, very pleasing to the eye. Arthis looks totally badass as does the dragon....thats pretty much sums up the entire trailer

WAR. You see different, individual units with their unique abilities battling it out, winning and losing. You have a good old fashion war going on and you get to see what kind of role you play exactly in it. On top of all of that it looks amazing!

Over all, the WAR trailer wins, not only for its aesthetic value but for its representation of what is actually in the game.
