Nope, no time for WoW on top of everything else gaming right now. I still feel 100% ok in making that statement, though, because I've seen most other cg that blizzard has produced. *If* the intro to WoW somehow matched "Flight of the Osiris", I still wouldn't be swayed, as Flight is several years old now. Also, one cg clip that's on par or even surpasses the industry leader isn't enough to wrest that title away from them. They have to show that they're going to be doing it consistantly at that level for that to happen.

With Blizzards schedule, I'm not even sure they have releases close enough together to be able to reach the top of the heap and stay there. And frankly, it would be foolish for them to devote the resources to do so. Square has made a name for itself in recent years largely based on it's stunning animation, while Blizzard games are known for their amazing gameplay. If they release, on average, say one game every two years, it just doesn't make sense for them to make something that most of it's target audience will go "Hey neat, and btw, can I hit esc to skip this everytime after the first?".

For the record, I've liked a fair number of Blizzard games a lot more than the average drivel Square produces, I just don't see how a valid argument can be made for Blizzard to be better at cg than Square.
