3 Encrypted Cinematics Available in Patch 9.1

Recommended Posts

54562-most-popular-classes-and-specializ

3 encrypted Patch 9.1 cinematics are currently present in the game files. These usually contain spoilers, so we will need to wait until June 29 to watch them.

All combined, the cinematics have 7.46 minutes.

  • interface/cinematics/shadowlands_910_950and952_1920.avi is 2 minutes and 25 seconds long and has 69.09 MB.
  • interface/cinematics/shadowlands_910_951_1920.avi is 3 minutes and 7 seconds long and has 88.32 MBs.
  • interface/cinematics/shadowlands_910_953_1920.avi has 1 minute and 56 seconds and 54.67 MBs.

There are also lower-resolution versions of the same cinematics present in the game files (1080p / 640p). What do you hope to see there?

My hope for her "redemption" is she tells us how to save Anduin. It would show remorse without her getting any personal cheese. Anything else will likely be hollow.

Very unlikely that they would kill her now, most likely she will live until another patch. Hopefully not a redemption story, but probably it's going to be just that. With how many cinematics there are, it's pretty much confirmed that this is a middle patch and 9.2 will be the last one for this expansion. Can't see how they would stretch this even further, especially with those delays. Jailer's story should wrap up within next patch.

This is my bet. It's the only thing which doesn't feel completely off to me. 

My singular wish is that she doesn't replace Bolvar. He was the one dude I showed up for and his current job is apparently to be everybody's punching bag. I wouldn't even call it a bad end for her. I just want Bolvar to be cool again.

Just blame the horse that dared to die on him and give him enough PTSD to pick it up.

Will be get any CGI based cinematic or not ? Or all cinematic will be like normal Ingame type ?

That's an interesting note.

 

Battle for Azeroth was RIPE with AWESOME cinematics. Was it just a one time thing? Did they plan to do more but then their budget was slashed?

 

On topic: I've said it many times, but I'm just done with the emphasis on Sylvanas. I get it appeals to so many types of fans (fans of elves, fans of undead, fans of archers, fans of women in games, fans of edgelords, etc), but as an OG warcraft fan, I'm just done. I wish we had a few more orcs, trolls, dwarves and gnomes that got some love.

More like the Dreadlords! They had some master plan and were double agents all along, even when among themselves they've never mentioned it before!

Usually it's just humans, orcs and various flavors of elves who get the spotlight, which can be very boring. Other races only appear when there is some content directly tied to them, and then they disappear (but even then, most bases are in human and orcish style). Occasionally few npcs from these races will appear and that's all.

I bet Sylvanas wouldn't have as many fans if they've made her look like an undead, because she doesn't even look like one. To most people, especially those unfamiliar with lore, she looks like a dark elf from other fantasy works. Cinematics were probably for special occasion, that being one of their most favored characters, Thrall.

I don't know the answer, but something interesting...

They made a lot of cinematics in BFA and to (I presume) cut down on what must be the most demanding part of the process they reused character models constantly.

There's really quite a limited cast once you notice. Thrall, Anduin, Genn, Saurfang, Zappyboy and Sylvanas all appear multiple times. Bannerlady from Saurfang's last cinematic seems to be based on the archer models from the main trailer. The rogues also look like they're based on that model. Footmen reappear constantly. Even the skeletons from the SL trailer are reused from the WotLK trailer.

There are some which aren't reused at all -- the draenei, nelves, etc, from the annoucement trailer and Saurfang's son. But they have the camera placed on them little or at all, and don't look half as attractive when you see a still of them. 

So! They like to reuse models. And thus far in SL we've had several highly detailed models they haven't reused, because we've only had the main trailer and several short clips. These are:

Bolvar, Denathrius, the Winter Queen and the Jailor. Also Krexus but boy, he seems irrelevant now. 

Seems to me pretty likely we're going to get at least some of those in later cinematics. Also interesting: Kyrestia is the only covenant leader who doesn't get a model. It seems to me that's quite possibly because they knew they were going to use her polished in-game model instead of the HD ones.

I've always thought her look is best in comparison to the undead around her. On her own she's pretty, but not necessarily unusual. Her cinematic model is wonderfully expressive though.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
