Arthas Beats Illidan [REFORGED] vs The Original Warcraft 3 Cutscene

Original was fast and ended a bit too fast imo but the new one is well slow as hell and ended very slow too with the most lackluster slash ever. The one thing I like about the new one tho is illidan transforming everything else I pick the og.

I give you the difference between people who are doing a job for money vs the people who are getting paid to do what they love.

This will never make sense to me, the death knight was one of the worse, weakest hero, and a support hero at that, PLUS Arthas was cursed at that time (was losing 1 hero level every level), Illidan was a strong warror-class hero, theres just no way, hw should have ANNIHILATED Arthas

How tf did Illidan lose this fight smh

This is bad. It looks like bad Clamation. And to think this is comming from Blizzard,the king of cinematics. They really put 0 effort into this

Illidan sounds like Keir Starmer.

One can only hope MS pushes Blizzard to truly remaster Warcraft III like they proclaimed it would be!!!!

I don’t play this game. I have heard of Warcraft’s glory and the hate against blizzard. I keep seeing one by one each part of the video game industry famous series get dragged into the dirt (warcraft, halo, sonic until recently). all i can do is look back to when hype was at its highest and video games were made to be video games that last a lifetime

Reforged was so hyper-realistic it's boring. The anime-style pacing in the original version was what made it compelling

The original was so much better. Short but sweet. And the music was on point. The new one is long, boring, and stiff. Trying too hard to be cool and failing. Plus no music makes it feel empty.

the older version is way better than the reforged one in my opinion

🥱

Somehow I think that the lack of music in the new one is nicer. It really shows how horrible this fight’s location is. A desolate wasteland of death, with nothing but the sound of metal hitting metal.
But the camera angles made the original look visually better.

They failed to clear a very low bar.

Well... they tried...
Oh wait no they didn't.
The old fight was more dynamic... absolutely shameful... And some shots (like Illidan laying bleeding on his back nowhere to be seen) are even worse, less impact.
0 effort whatsoever.

xLetalis, I did not know you were a Warcraft fan too ❤️

The reforge one looks like was made by someone who never made a fighting scene before, super boring and slow

The blade is ridiculously huge, but the handle is much shorter than the original one. Makes it look practically stubby.

We need Warcraft 4 continue

I like how back in the day Frostmourne was a sword and not a surfboard.

Lmfao I don't even get what the problem is with the new cinematics? Guess people just refuse to take off their nostaliga goggles I guess.

Say whatever you want, but the real fuck-up is that Illidan's blades do not have tiny pandas on them in the remaster.

Despite being drastically shorter, and using the blockier lower res models I honestly prefer the the original from 2002. There's a sense of speed, weight, and desperation, as well as a feeling of Arthas and Illidan genuinely trying to kill each other that is just utterly lacking from the remake.

2002 looks more action packed.

I personally don't see a reason for all the hate. I think the remake was alright. Wasn't perfect, and didn't exactly live up to all the promises, but I never expected it too honestly. I can't say I'm angry or disappointed. I expected it to just be warcraft 3 with a graphical upgrade, and that's what we got.

the 2002 has more intense skills but it ended very quickly.

I don't know man
Looks pretty good to me

I feel like the new one could be pretty good, just for some reason is made too cartoony, like everything in the new version, and the movements are too weird idk. Something about it just doesn't feel right to me. Although, I do like the extra sequences added.

but of course he didn't die (even though in the original cinematic you see him on the ground dead). dumb empty scene.

among all people why that annoying evil prince who should win, Lilidan , naga and blood elf were united for freedom and piece from undead yet the evil are still win agaist them

Me, not knowing anything about Warcraft: “Are those 2 supposed to be looking at each other or are they talking to someone off screen?”

I think ya'll are suffering from nostalgia bias. the new clip looks way better

It's not a terrible job but the weapons look bulky the cinematic makes them look like they don't know how to fight either. The weapons look fan made like what you'd bring to a convention

Old one is better

The original looks more realistic. Reforged is like watching a kids movie and anime

I love how Arthas build the momentum to his upper-cut swing to his sword after a skip on the original. So powerful! The remastered feels like Illidan grabbed the sword, Arthas is barely swinging it.

This is right up there with Master Chief vs Locke as one the worst fight cutscenes ever.

the old cinematic looks dated but still badass. the new one looks like fucking ass.

Fun fact there's 1 more swing in the original than in reforged. Really puts things into perspective considering the duration of each

Wasn't illidan supposed to be the underdog in this fight

Ain't nobody inviting this version of Arthas to a cocaine party

Why in the begining is Illidan giving his back to Arthas?

Honestly I don’t think it was that bad. It was pretty much the same cinematic as the old one. But if they changed it people would still find something to complain about

I recognise that voice.. Final Fantasy Crisis Core maybe..

Idk about ya'll but for me both are shit.
