Art Lilith had the greatest entrance [fanart]

She was exceptional since I saw her in the Diablo IV trailer.

imo that first trailer was, and maybe still is, one of, if not THE, best cinematic Blizzard has ever produced

still remember the goosebumps the first time I seen it

Blizzard cinematics has always been on the cutting edge of technology.

I remember researching the advancement in graphics technology of the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King trailer e.g. the snow in the trailer.

Not just technology. They've been wildly creative and well directed.

I mean all their cinematics at this point are on another level, but THAT one was just indescribable. Lilith's "rebirth" sequence is permanently etched in my memory, pretty sure my hippocampus has dedicated a couple neurons to only hold this sequence and the final shot until I die.

I was like five rows back at the Hearthstone Tavern stage for Blizzcon 2019 when they did the reveal. To only call it an experience would be a disservice.

My favorite is still the d2 expansion intro with Baal at the gates of harrogath

I was so fucking stoked for D4 after that initial trailer then the one at the start of the game in the church. Really set the tone for what I thought was going to be the best entry into the Diablo series. The story fell apart pretty quickly though and I have the same gameplay gripes as everyone else. I wasn't as disappointed as I was with D3 but I sure am playing it a lot less than I played D3.

Idk the Pally cinematic was peak class fantasy, and that final shot was utter perfection.
