The thing that boggles me with these trains of thought is... What would you expect of a Transformers game?
If a group of individuals can show that much love and passion for the franchise (and War For Cybertron was reasonably sturdy in the grand scheme of things), I'm sure they can pull something off that's worth dropping day one cash.
I know I will be.

So was the Wrath of the Lich King intro, except that was incredible.

It just focused on the story of it instead of OH MY GOD ACTION SEQUENCES! Tying it into the speech from WC 3 was awesome, probbably my fave intro from all of them so far.

Not to mention the big hole in the ground left by said undead dragon skeleton. I'd hardly say it was unrelated to the story, I mean, they eventually put Sindragosa in as a boss fight.

WotLK expansion was the best in terms of story and continuity. Arthas is a far more interesting villain than Deathwing (only thing Deathwing talks about is destruction, the Demon Soul and wanting to **** Alexstraza) and actually let people continue on from the last Warcraft game.
The cinematography in the LK cinematic was far superior to the Michael Bay-esque model of the Cata one. It's as if Blizzard wanted to alleviate the backlash that the LK cinematic got from being too much talk and loaded up Cataclysm with explosions and fire.
I feel nothing for the Cataclysm cinematic (and the expansion as a whole).

I actually really enjoyed cataclysm. But the cinematic for WotLK was way better.

The Deathwing fight is way more epic than the Lich King fight, though.

And? We're talking about interesting from a story perspective.

It did seem a little odd that it took until now to get around to Deathwing, considering a lot of other old Warcraft figures got covered during BC. Then again, Cataclysm was what made WoW playable for me, so *shrug*.

It was especially odd considering we hadn't heard from Deathwing since WC2. I would've thought they'd jump straight into Malfurion's whereabouts and ignored Deathwing.

Orly.
Just goes to show how little I've been following of the WC lore now.

Yeah, Malf came back when Cataclysm hit. The previous guy went mad or something.

Just want to say I've watched this trailer way too many times. I'm not usually a fan of the pure CG slow song emotional game trailers, but goddamn does this make the inner G1 Transformers nerd inside me sequel like a bitch.

I'm abit late to the party but I've just watched the VGA's and here is one thing that stood out to me.

I swear he was talking about Minecraft.
And after watching the trailer for Fortnite, it just looks like a Minecraft ripoff with a different engine.
Just change Creepers into Zombies and cubes into scrap.
