    I love L2's  CGs.

    I like GWs movies for hair and music =P

    GW definately



    But all GW was in-engine shots.  They do scripted sequences, not cutscenes.

    Gotta throw in for Blizzard on this one. Especially since they're famous for their beautiful CG sequences. In fact, for awhile people were actually paying to buy all the CG cinematics from Starcraft and Warcraft 3 on a stand alone DVD! Seriously, who here wasn't floored by the intro to Warcraft 3?

    I also think when it comes to CG and PC games blizzard holds supreme not just cause of WoW but like the guy said SC, Diablo. I still love the Lord of terror CG from diablo when we are first introduced to baal or when diablo walks into the portal to hell.

     

    My vote for blizz.

    I liked the Warhammers trailer the most. The others I am pretty sure are done by Sony's Cinematic department or that one Korean Company that does most game trailers for games in general.  They just seemed uninspired and didn't really tell anything about the game, just hey this is what the characters and theme kinda look like.

    Personally, the Archlord ones are my favorite.

    There's no doubt that Lineage 2's CGs are the best there is.  There is NO comparison at all.

    Which one has the best?

    Easy

    Lineage 2

    Followed by EVE maybe.

    I must say Blizzard. Their cg movies generally have a much higher level of detail than those other movies. Their art and design is superb and they have originality, they also have much more of a plot than the others. They serve as perfect ways to present characters, classes and story.



    The "asian" ones all kinda use the same formula, are uninspired, look very a like and in many cases do not serve as anything else than eye candy. There is no real point with them except showing of some fighting.

    As much as I dislike WoW, I must admit CG intro of the original game is simply mind-blowing. It's not just fancy technologies, but rather the way it's directed. Simply wonderful, especially the dwarf with a wolf in the beginning, I love how snow lies on his beard. That said, I found The Burning Crusade intro quite dull. It's all right, but nothing special. In fact, my favorite CG of all time is Warcraft 3's, especially the one showing the return of Arthas. Square Enix used to make wonderful CG too, but recently they somehow decided to use them for dialogues (I'm talking about offline games, my apologies for offtopic), which doesn't make much sense to me (it can be done using game engine easily, while it makes sense using CG for massive scenes too difficult to render).

    I cannot explain the sadness
    That's fallen on my breast.

    And will not let me rest.
