So, i was at this year Blizzcon and i got to play Warcraft 3 Reforged. I know its just an early demo but i think they can do even better on the lighting and graphics of this game. I would give the graphics a 8.5/10. I know that they are using the same engine and im ok with that. I think Warcraft 3 is one of the best RTS games at its time and still is. But, when i came across this video, i knew that it looked much better than Warcraft 3 Reforged, especially the environment (the cliffs, water, tree & tree size, foliage, and the colors are much better)
this is just a fan made video using SC2 engine or Heroes of The Storm engine

I would love if the footmen looked like this!

Teaser leak. Jesus. Not even bothering clicking that blatant clickbait for views crap.

Hello, yes, I made that teaser, i am the greatest terrain artist in the world though, but if blizzard wants to contract me for tips they can feel free.

The terrain os beautiful but it doesnât look much playable for an RTS. It will make a dope custom map RPG or something though.

I agree these graphics are far superior to what we saw. I vote cartoony!

I prefer the cinematic look of the footmen they have in the current build more than that.

100% AGREE! THIS IS WHAT I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE. seems like the community is split on the graphics

People who say âthey are betterâ have no idea whatsoever on what good graphics for a real time strategy game are.
The reforged engine is not done, I bet at the release the graphics will be blizzard like in a very fitting shape.

Wc3 reforged uses the old engine not a new one.

Just to let everyone know, in that video, those models are pulled from Heroes of the Storm. The Alterac Valley map. That was made using the Starcraft 2 Engine. Itâs obvious they arenât using that engine in Warcraft 3 Reforged because they want to keep the mechanics the same. I personally love the Heroes of the Storm look, but I do think the Reforged look is so much fresher and more innovative. I love what theyâre doing with the designs of the units and hope they keep going in that direction.

Iâm not sure how far they can go with lighting, shaders and animations while still working on the same engine. The only thing I can say is that the color panel in this âteaserâ is indeed superior to what was shown of Reforged so far.

Itâs pretty great, but itâs not better than what we got in my opinion. A lot of the visual appeal is the terraining and the appropriately sized trees and narrow, beautiful passages, but none of that works for an RTS.

Guys same engine means a laptop could run reforged and that is where the money is at.
Nice troll mate but I rate 0/8

I wish Warcraft III - Reforged would be made with cartoonish graphics like these showcased in the video here. Feels more like a Blizzard RTS game.

Itâs because of the mists that makes it a bit cooler I think.
But seriously. Let each game have their own unique design. Copying Heroes models straight into this game would have been lazy and pretty overused too.
Heroes, WoW = High poly cartoon-models.
Warcraft 3 = Low poly cartoon-models.
Warcraft 3 Reforge = High poly realistic-models.

High-poly realistic may have worked if it wasnât an overlay for an old engine/set (as needed to be inter-ropable with the legacy game) but was a completely remade game instead. I know art and style are still subject to change, but I highly doubt it will end up much different than we have been shown, generally speaking. I donât think it feels very cohesive as it is shown.
