As much as I would love to see the graphics updated to be more hi-res for some reason Unreal Engine that I see these videos of just somehow just doesn’t look as cool for me.
Then I found this video someone made of Elwynn Forest was the just HD graphics instead and this just seems way better then what I’ve seen with Unreal Engine remakes
Honestly agree. Would prefer Unreal Engine to used for any potential WoW Spin-offs, With Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard, these future projects seem quite inevitable.
I hate the realistic Unreal Engine stuff. Everything looks like it, everything’s the same. I do like that HD version, though. It keeps the style of WoW, but updates the graphics. Very clean, very nice. The only drawback would be what it might do to people’s computers.
WoW is already pretty good looking on modern machines.
I don’t really think they need to do a graphical overhaul of any sort.
WoW’s artstyle is wonderful as it is though and what makes it unique. They just need to upgrade old cities like Stormwind to look more like Suramar and Boralus. They can pretty it up and still keep WoW’s iconic aesthetic.
Agree. That’s why I liked the video so much. It uses the hi-res graphics used in BfA and Legion for the older zones and definitely makes things much better.
Dang that looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
It’s basically just bringing the quality of new xpacks to an old zone. Should be fine. It’s more that Blizz doesn’t have the time to rework old zones unless they’re playing a big part in current content.
True! I wish they did have the time and inclination. But I understand why they don’t.
WoW should upgrade its graphics to look as good as Ashes of Creation.
I wouldn’t mind if some of art style was updated to look a bit more realistic but I doubt they can push it too far. I mean people complain every expansion because they are worried their 15+ year old dinosaur computers might not be able to run the game.
Just leave it as it is . I think it’s beautiful and can get lost in it still . Updating it could possibly ruin it for me .
I’d definitely prefer it to remain as stylized and artistically distinct as it is now. With each expansion, regardless of what anyone thinks of the actual content otherwise, I think they’ve managed to refine that more and more, and I’d hate for them to trash it all just to stay on trend.
With that in mind, even just a little texture upscaling in some areas would do wonders imo, if they can’t afford a full overhaul (which is completely understandable lol).
