WoW updated character graphics.

Gotta say, I am impressed with how much they can do with a 10+ year old game engine.

i havent played this expac much. But i will most likey be coming back for the next

I still check up on the changes time to time though I haven't played in a long time.  Was hoping for all new models to be revealed.  Their human models have always been the worst, in my opinion--in need of the most reworking for animation and graphics.  Hopefully we'll see some updates for every vanilla race soon.

As for the advertised changes... I feel uneasy about that gnome female face.  She looks mentally challenged to me crossed with a Disney princess.

No troll, goat or cow remodel?  Meh

Go back to outlands, but in the past?  Meh.

[Photoelectric]

Cow remodel has been included.  Nothing for humans, night elves, or trolls yet, it seems.



P.S.: they updated the engine before the last expansion.  Hence the fancier graphics in the current expansion.

im pretty sure they plan on do remodels on all the races, are they not?

[tjcaustin]

Totally missed the cow.

Only the vanilla ones, as far as I know.

edit: oh here we go, a page to preview character model changes in 3D

Why is this even necessary?

Just because.....they want things to look better?

Actually thinking about going back for this expansion. Have been playing Molten-wow on their WoTLKfor the last 4 years or so.

Wow. This is very nicely done. I hope they do something unique with this new expansion. Too bad wow is not a game for me (it requires a lot of time and as a student I don't have it). Good job blizzard!

Your post? I have no idea.

You pretty much only need to look at the faction leaders with the new models to see what's coming for them, basically.


Human male models are the absolute worst in the game. Glad to see they are getting this update.

The characters will have better gestures too.. Really nice to see that they added that too.

Will the /rude gesture for orcs have a visible middle finger now?

[absyrd]

I need an excuse to start playing this again. It being purtier won't hurt.

LOL.. better.. I agree it's better.. but they're not trying very hard considering how much money they've raked in..  I'd think the wow crowd deserved more..

Found some blue post where it said that they will be updating draenei and blood elves as well in the upcoming content patches and such.  So it looks like something that will happen beyond the initial release of the expansion, where only vanilla races will be updated--could be quite far in the future.
