A YouTuber films all cutscenes from Warcraft 3 with the graphics of World of Warcraft. You can check out the impressive work here.
World of Warcraft is fundamentally based on the events of the strategy game Warcraft 3. However, that game is now over 15 years old, and many newcomers are reluctant to “slog through” such an old game just to know the backstory. But now there is a remedy in the form of a video.
The YouTuber José Barrios Villarroel from the YouTube channel JoseBV has taken the audio files from Warcraft 3 and used them as a basis for some Machinima with the graphics of World of Warcraft.
What is shown in the video? The video showcases the first 9 “episodes” of Reign of Chaos, the campaign of Warcraft 3 as a movie. There are scenes featuring Arthas, Jaina, Thrall, and Medivh. Everything is based on the storyline of Warcraft 3, with only a few points being revised to make battles look more spectacular.
For those who prefer to see the English original, you can also check it out here. On the YouTube channel, the cutscenes can be found in multiple languages. Each time, the videos were slightly adjusted to accommodate the different speech lengths. Here is the English version of the first episode:
Of course, the storyline is not complete yet. Whether the remaining parts will still be released remains to be seen – after all, JoseBV creates the videos in his spare time.
Cortyn says: Watching the video has rekindled my excitement for the “good old” Warcraft 3. I’ve forgotten many details of the story, and perhaps some things will stand out that I missed years ago. It’s time to raid Stratholme again and purify the whole city…
What do you think of the video? A cool thing or unnecessary since the original exists?
