==Diablo 3 Cinematics==
[[File:Cinematic-candles.jpg|thumb|300px|Candles are lit in the intro cinematic.]]
As of December 2009, there have been three Diablo 3 cinematics released. There are no plans to go back and retroactively create introductory cinematics for the Barbarian and Witch Doctor.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/barbarian-and-witch-doctor-cinematic-trailers/] Click to the linked pages to see each cinematic, as well as screenshots and plot details.
* '''[[Cinematic: WWI 2008]]''' was the first, released with Diablo 3's premiere at the Paris WWI event, June 2008. This cinematic introduces the game world, hints at the plot, and shows some great scenery.
* '''[[Cinematic: Demon Hunter]]''' was the fourth cinematic, released at Blizzcon 2010. This one introduced the [[Demon Hunter]], and made clear the growing expertise of the Blizzard cinematics guys with the machinima style of in-game movie making. (Though many fans found the dialogue painfully corny.) In the film the Demon Hunter finds signs of a massacre, tracks the one human survivor and defends her from another attack of demons, before recruiting her as a new Demon Hunter.
==Final Game Cinematics==
There will be extensive cinematics in the full game, approximately as many as we saw with Diablo 2twenty minutes of them, with the movies shown divided up into multiple short films which will be viewed before the game, between after each act,[http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p1.html] and afterthe final battle, much as they were in Diablo 2. [[Kevin Martens]] and [[Julian Love]] commented on that during a Blizzcon 2009 interview: [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/exclusive-blizzcon-interview-julian-love-and-kevin-martens/]
::''Diii.net: Can you comment on the cinematics? The overall length and presentation? When will players see them during the game, and how long will they run for?
