It's not the full-length CG movie everybody's been begging Blizzard to make for years, but the Diablo 3 :
Wrath animated short teased in this behind-the-scenes interview looks
fairly cool. Blizzard's lined up some impressive traditional 2D
animation talent to make it happen.
Blizzard's Chris Metzen and the president of animation company Titmouse
Chris Prynoski might be a match made in heaven, not least because of
their shared predilection for wearing sunglasses indoors. Joining them
are two more from the Blizzard team, Nick Carpenter and Nick Waugh, as
well as director Peter Chung, known best as creator of the Aeon Flux
series.Chung hints that the short will reveal some backstory to the Diablo 3
universe that's not in the game itself. "There was no way to fit these
ideas and characters into the game," he says. "This was a chance to pull
all that material out and let the audience enjoy it."So, all that's left to reveal now is the actual short. Though I think we
could definitely do with fewer of these hype-generating campaigns, I
understand if May 15th is simply too far to wait for on top of the
decade we've already spent growing old in lieu of days of clicky fun...
in which case, this may just tide you over.
