Real-time strategy games are about more than just gathering resources and commanding armies. They’re also powerful vehicles for storytelling. The full opening cinematic for Stormgate, the highly anticipated RTS from the team at Frost Giant Studios, has finally been revealed!
Directed by Frost Giant Studios in partnership with acclaimed post-production studio Platige Image, the opening cinematic was previously teased during Frost Giant Studios’ segment at The Game Awards in 2023, as part of the Stormgate trailer introduced by actor Simu Liu. A die-hard fan and skilled player of StarCraft II (which many members of the Frost Giant team worked on), Liu will be playing the role of Warz, one of Stormgate’s central characters.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but my optimism is extremely restrained.

Blizzards dark intense realism ended with Warcraft 2 and diablo 1. They've always had their own style especially for in-game visuals that is a mis between stylized and comic book looks. And remember, a cinematic is not supposed to look like the game, they are different entities with different purposes. That's why In-game blizzard art was always fun, metal, stylish and clean and packed body proportions that were not realistic.

I like it. but it lacks a bit of gore and horror. I like the chaos but a bunch of oversized bats (which I like) are not menacing. but I seriously don't like the reboot's virus at the end (lol I am old). it looks to clean, too human and over the top lines. from reading the novelette, I expected something more solemn from the thing. I thing that the voice direction of the guy was thrown off by the animation. if it was a bit slower, and we couldn't see it's face, it would evoke a more commanding intent of obliteration, instead of playfulness/challenge (as the line by itself is kind of ridiculous).

The color palette and environment art are great in my opinion. The things I think could be improved are: - We don't know the protagonist or why we should care about him. Maybe starting the cinematic with him talking normally with the girl and then making the alarm start would have been more impactful. (or some other way to introduce him) - I don't personally like the characters' artstyle (the protagonist and the villain's face especially) - There is no tension, and some of the reasons I can think of are: - The music is pretty underwelimg, I think some more dramatic music would have been much better. - We don't know what the monsters want. They don't seem to be attacking people nor destroying the environment. They are just flying by ignoring everything. (except for the one who threw the guy away, but that happend after hundreds of them flew by) - It feels like nothing happens when the monsters come out. The protagonist shoots, but we don't even see what happens to them. I think you wanted to convey the feeling that the protagonist is powerless, but for that I think it would have been better to show one of the monsters being hit and not caring about it. The way it is now, it feels like the protagonist is weak rather than the monsters being strong or overwhelming. For example, in starcraft's HOTS cinematic, you see a lot of zerg dying, but they clearly still manage to overwhelm the terran, and that worked very well imo. That's just my opinion. I'm still looking forward to Stormgate, I just hope you can improve those aspect, especially for the campaign! Hope this helps

Ok as someone who is excited for this game and it's story let me tell you what I like and dislike about this trailer, sadly more negatives than positives. Positives- Artstyle- I love the artstyle even if others hate it(with exception of the main bad guy). It will make the game age better than others without needing to introduce a graphical update every 3 years (though this style can be more refined. Which hopefully will come with time and more development) Sound design- The sound design in this cinematic felt great, the portal opening, the music, the birds, even the crunch that the gun has when it fires. All sounded great imo. Voice work was also well done Enviroment/Set Piece- the environment/set piece looked really nice and to me told me enough about what I needed to know. Negatives- Literally everything else not mentioned above.... In fact I'm not going to organize this part and turn it into a rant. Dude what in the hell is going on? None of what is happening on screen makes sense. And no not in the "I'm sure if I had story context it would make sense!" way, but in the way it is directed. ok where to start on my gripes... This part is going to be disorganized as all hell but hopefully worth it? When the MC of the cinematic pulls the gun on the scientist he had more than enough time to shoot but didn't? Which by the way seems to be a trend with (who i am now dubbing DA for dumbass) DA. Also why did everyone but the scientist go flying like that? I'm sure a blast like that would fuck his arms up even if he was holding on to a rail. Ok after DA gets up and the other scientist is getting picked up by the shadowflyer, DA had more than enough time to shoot the SF before he was past the rail (not that he ever made the attempt in the first place). Now we have DA shooting at the SF's in the air... MISSING every single one, which by the way isn't even my main issue with that scene... we clearly saw they can grab people and throw them off... so you are telling me they only felt like doing it for that ONE guy???? ALL those SF's and not a single one wanted to grab DA? Why? That is the laziest fucking plot armor I have witnessed in a long time... and I watch a lot of Donghua where the MCs have ass pull powers at all times. Ok then comes the part where he gave up shooting the SF's that weren't a threat to him in specific, funny enough I didn't have an issue with him giving up there. Dude was already worse at aiming than my niece is when she plays halo. Ok the villain... A. He looks like shit... pretty sure the community you aren't listening to established that ages ago... good job not listening! Truly an Ex blizzard dev team for sure!!! B. wtf was his spiel? Dude there were 2 people left in that room from the looks of it. Of which he could just kill? My question is why even say it at all in that instance? Just kill them and get it over with and say that shit in a city or something man. I feel it was horribly written and storyboarded. And if THIS is your best foot forward i have nothing but fear for what the rest of the cinematics will look like. Mind you i am hyped for this and have 300 hours already in the beta. This isn't me as a hater. But merely someone who cant suspend my disbelief when it is obviously THAT bad.

@KatzenminzeWarVergeben 22 күн бұрын

While I agree with almost everything you sad, I think the "why not shoot the scientist?" part is unwarranted, as we know from the online novel that they were friends for ages, plus he was decieved only a fee minutes before the cinematic that Cullin would have given up. So imo it is kinda reasonable that he wouldnt shoot his old friend, especially with him being likely very confused/shocked/etc at the moment. Dr Culler having the whisperer also explains why he isnt just killed (Though I feel like thats gonna happen soon after). However, as I said, I agree with most of your points. The villain looking weird, (though I like the idea that he is some kind of fallen angel from the third species, that would explain his design) the bats just randomly taking one dude...

Reminds me of when I first saw a poster for SC Broodwar in a mall back in the 90s, I became obsessed too.

@ahmedkfji4695 Ай бұрын

I think frostgiant could have have taken stormgate in two different direction. 1) push further into the niche genre that rts is, to pander more to the already established fan base. 2) create something that would appeal to a wider audience. Obviously frostgiant's art department chose the latter. From what I can tell, developers that choose to cater to a variety of people, usually don't attract anyone. Btw, this is coming from a Stormgate backer. Personally, I think they should have went all in on the gore, infested, demonic art style, and let the different game modes garner different people's attention

@jayhobspeedruns Ай бұрын

The major issue I see a lot these days is in trying to go wide with appeal especially artstyle wise your game fails to stand out in the market and stick in people's brains. You look at early games that spawned into popular franchise Doom/Fallout/Warcraft/Starcraft/Diablo/Gears of war/Halo obviously thought went into making gameplay fun and engaging but speaking purely artistically those devs just created things they personally thought where cool and worked from there. Also certain technical limitations but overall they stood out for those reasons the most in my opinion. Also I don't even really know if this style even does it's job of appealing to a wide market. I mean Overwatch was insanely popular but I really don't know how much of that was down to the artstyle.

@RedHazeCh Ай бұрын

This committee approved cartoon style doesn't attract anyone, kids nowadays are into stuff like murder drones so adding a bit of edge to your art style won't hurt

I'm sure the game will be fantastic and I'm looking forward to the many years I'll enjoy with it's multiplayer, but this cinematic doesn't sell it for me too much. Some feedback from what I've seen. There's no "selling" of the power of these bats outside of the one random guy that gets dropped and some rubble in one very specific area. The extreme far shot was pretty brilliant, but I feel that should have been sooner after the portal was opened, possibly seeing these bats wreak havoc on the surrounding buildings after that shot could have been good. The demon's face feels like it could be a bit more demonic, kinda looks some bloke in armour. The camera was shaking more at 0:30 than when the portal actually opened, feels a bit too smooth. It might be intentional to not show any kind of impacts to match the style, but it feels a bit *too* soft. Even if you are going for the saturday morning cartoon vibe, shows like teen titans and xiaolin showdown had impact shots. The models and environment work are brilliant overall though

I'm completely willing to be patient I'd wait forever TBH. But the open beta is scheduled for this year. And unlike this teaser trailer released previously which I wasn't a huge fan of but actually liked a lot more than this one, it seems the game is moving in a direction at least art style wise that is pretty locked in.

So in a campaign story they explain everything.

What are you on about, 'nailed the atmosphere'? The one thing they didn't nail WAS atmosphere. It never once felt intimidating, suspenseful or scary. It was generic and unoriginal and bland.

@@Grumbledookvid exactly lol, this game was promoted as the next generation of rts and making rts go mainstream again, pumping so much money into it from the communities pockets on Kickstarter and they cant even get the main trailers to be good. How can they not see how unremarkable all this marketing is? Its so damn forgettable and lacking of character its crazy to me that they are serious about this going big. Regional at best

Tem algo me dizendo que tem como melhorar, achei a crescente em tensão do clímax meio mucha, acho que devia ter saído alguma outra criatura, para dar uma sensação de mal presságio com os voadores e em seguida alguma coisa maior ou diferente gritando ou fazendo algum barulho (para dar uma ideia de arauto de algo maior); e sobre a grande figura do clímax, ele me passou uma ideia de algo queira me ameaçar (mas pode também posso imaginar que ele queira me intimidar, que devo dizer que não foi bem executado, se tiver sido essa a ideia central), outra coisa é o visual, o visual de humanoide mecânico me passou uma ideia de superioridade (um ser com propósito maior, exterminar ou expandir), mas o Voice acting deu uma ideia mais agressiva ao invés de metódica. Em resumo acredito que possa ter uma direção mais cinemática, minha expectativa estava em algo mais forte, mas ficou um pouco ameno.

You know the moment you get really excited to for it to start playing but as soon as passes the 20 second mark you regret it's only upto 3 minutes long, man it was like watching WC3 opening cinematic when I was kid (footy & grunt fighting). Again please reconsider monetization go paid instead of free to play!.
