Comparison videos around Azeroth. Sometimes random WoW videos too. Walk with me in many timelines around World of Warcraft #shorts #worldofwarcraft #comparison
I feel the same way about a lot of aspects of the game. Even just what mounts people ride, back in the day it felt like most people were on some sort of believable war steed. Naturally some goofiness going on still (especially for gnomes) but it genuinely felt like you were in the world of Warcraft that I grew up with in the RTS games. Now if you jump into retail, you'll see people riding basically anything but a typical mount.
@@mickcraftgaming Even gnomes were less goofy back then, creating real and tangible technological feats with the manufactory capabilities of the dwarves, like the tram, war ships, mechanized robot suits, gun accessories, and more. Now they are literal cyborgs with a dry mechanical sense of humor and no real innovation. They became a bigger joke than goblins.
The game has always had a sort of silliness to it. "I come from the orcs. We eat with spoons and forks. We love to eat our pork." NPCs like Haris Pilton A murloc chef on a pirate ship. You guys are imagining the modern game to be something it isn't. I've played every version of WoW. I can say the game is the most polished now that it has ever been.
That was the most painful change. And the hoof sound when tauren is walking was driving me mad. Luckily I left all games, so it doesn't bother me much more.
@@Wellshem Couple that with the "You don't understand. If we don't stop Team Rocket they'll... catch 'em... alll?" xD But yeah. There's always been a sort of goofiness to the game. Go play vanilla now, it's there. Tell me you don't feel a bit goofy with some of the quests and such.
Tbh WoW was always considered cartoony. I still like it though, and there's a good technical reason for the cartooniness - helps it look good without being too demanding on hardware.
I like the shorter draw distance and more fog. Blures the zone edges better making world feel more fluid rather than a harsh unnatural mountain randomly poking straight up in the distance.
I get why people dislike the new animations, I just think they're wrong. Warcraft has always been this very heightened fantasy, even back during the RTS days. I mean, look at how oversaturated the colour palettes were in everything back in WC3, and the character designs were always super chunky and exaggerated. The new, more over-the-top run cycles fit that aesthetic. As much as you want to treat this game like it is serious shit, it isn't. It's always been a bit silly.
Скажу одну важную вещь, в старых модельках был дух варкрафта, не знаю почему , но старые модельки были лучше, намного лучше, да и они куда лучше вписывались в мир нежели новые, очень контрастируют на фоне мира.
I prefer the old animations far more than the "modern cartoon" style of today. Warcraft had a stylized art look back then too, sure. But it was rougher than today. Everytime i see today's graphics i imagine a gnome, a human, and a tauren taking a selfie making funny facea
While I prefer most of the older animations, male trolls I think got a big upgrade. They’re one of the tallest races when they actual stand up straight but they always hunch. The added bounce in their stride makes that lank feel like it’s getting put to use
So many classic andys saying WoW was super serious before and not goofy casually forgetting that classic wow isn't a hardcore mmo and is extremely casual and cartoony for it's time
The only one I like better in the new one is the undead animation. I prefer the old ones on all the other, the new ones look ... idk goofy, silly... can't describe it.
the new animations have so much more life and character, y’all are just made that you grew up and games aren’t as fun to you as they used to be. also why’s the dwarf footage faster than the others
Idrc about this whole comparison between Retail and Classic Wow. My only matter is that I'm just Glad im not playing a fucking COD game anymore. I really do enjoy both Retail and Classic as like a sign i came back home from a long hiatus after a terrible experience with COD.
I adored the classic Tauren model. Always felt epic to play a huge, beefy Tauren warrior. Now Taurens move exactly like Goofy from Disney. Looks absolutely retarded imo. Same for Humans and Orcs. Idk why they overemphasize the arm swings so much. I always wonder who approved those models....
I only tried WoW shortly for Legion and Classic, never really been into it and if I am being honest, as a total WoW noob? I can't even tell the fucking difference here. Which one of the two is even the newer graphics?
HAHAHA I was going to say the one you can’t argue is worse is the dwarf, for sure a downgrade. Then you show it at the end haha. Looks like it’s fast forwarded
they wanted to achieve the charging bull look but they should keep old animation tbh (as with ALL races) and maybe use the new ''charging'' animation for i dunno.. maybe warrior charge?
I feel like dwarves, undeads and taurens old model were better. They are so “bouncy” today… The undead new casts made me change my race. It was a serious race, now they just move weird…
Robert `the devil` Kotick: "WE ARE 2023 BLIZZARD; WE NEED MORE SPLASH; MORE ACTION, MAKE THE PLAYER FEEL EPIC WHILE RUNNING; WE NEED FIREBALLS SHOOTING OUT OF THEIR BOOTS; MAKE RANDOM GUARDS BOW TO THEM, THE PLAYERS ARE GODS, MAKE THEM RUN LIKE GODS!!!!!" 2 months later Radom dude "So, Mr. Kotick, the new numbers are out and 85% of the players have left since Dragonflight was launched, but Classic has (once again) safed our asses" Robert `the devil` Kotick: " YOU FOOL! THATS ONLY BECAUSE WE DIDNT MAKE THE GAME EPIC ENOUGH!!!! NEXT TIME WE NOT JUST MILK DRAGONS, BUT ALSO UNDEAD, GIANT GOD-LIZARDS; I WANT KRATOS AND ELLE FROM THE LAST OF US; BRING ME GANDALF AND FRODO; WE DOUBLE DOWN ON EVERYTHING!!!!" Radom dude:" Sir, if this goes on you can say goodbye to your new boat" Robert `the devil` Kotick: "Alright, Ill stop fucking around then, lets make some good content, centered around what made Classic such a great game!" Eandom dude: "What really?!" Robert `the devil` Kotick:" NO YOU FOOL!!! DO I LOOK STUPID?! WORST CASE, I JUST CUT ALL YOUR WAGES IN HALF!!!! WE GO FULL GANDALF WITH THE NEXT EXPENSION!!!"
I feel like old wow had mystery to its style a sense of large dangerous myserious place. When I log into wow today it feels like i’m playing a disney game. Why is everone look like they are on steroids? Like why is everyone running around looking like the last boss of a raid
Wow retail is the proof to me that graphics are not the most important thing. I find it so boring level up in retail, the nice graphics don't shine my eyes. When I go to classic it's another vibe, vanilla was made for leveling and exploration. This is wow.
Oh god this is so insane. Even the casting and weapon swing animations were better 15 years ago. Now everyone has the exact same "raise both hands in the air for spender" animation. Its so tired man. And Blizz wonder why we all prefer classic hardcore atm. Even AWC players are playing hardcore not retail
The newer models are too cartoonish and bouncy. The amount of body motion when characters are running totally detracts from any sense of realism and gravitas.
