Problem with these types of videos is that they are made by people with passion. Something that current blizzard despises
Which makes you wonder, do they despise passion itself? Or the fact that they still have it and blizzard doesn't?
Considering they probably don't even hire based on merit anymore, but based on what you look like.
something that quarterly reports despise cuz its destroying everything for short term profit
@@TheUmbroDragon they despise anything that is against "the narrative"
the twatter twats have infiltrated the gaming industry and must be purged
They made a canned 60 second blip of nothing ... there is no game it's just a short movie.
Hire this guy ?
Blizzard: No, sorry - no professionals.
?_? What would he be used for doe? cause that's just one nice render of a scene, like my dude, that's useless :D for a full project.
@@pepsikthelegend8367 how do you think the game was made? everybody worked on one piece, it wasnt just one dude who made the full project idiot
@@pepsikthelegend8367 no more text emoticons for you! Bad!
@@pepsikthelegend8367 Yeah, it's like people still haven't learned that these "in engine" what are effectively just cinematics are never what we actually get when the game comes out because it's not actually viable. You can get to that level of quality in an isolated in engine render, but it's not actually practical for the real game. I bet if WoW looked like this in actual gameplay, there'd be huge complaints about how large portion of the player base can't run the game over 40 FPS.
LOL
The reason this looks so good isn't just the fact that the graphics have a huge improvement. It's the fact that it still manages to capture WoW's style and vibe which are core to its visual appeal. Sure, there are plenty of graphically impressive fantasy worlds, but they often look very generic. Vanilla WoW always maintained a very distinct charm to it. This manages to not only highlight it, but carry it into the updated visuals.
Warcraft is an absolutely amazing universe. It hurts my very soul that current day "Blizzard" holds the rights to it.
As someone who think WoW asthaetics in general are disgusting I agree. The art style is something unique and those thing are precious, even to a "hater".
@bryanm498 I'm not sure what's to hate about it but okay I guess. My only complaint was that the scale of a lot of structures is completely incorrect. Like you go into a house and it seems like a gnome is supposed to live there but it's not a gnome house. It's a human house.
Wow is drawn, this isn't.
WoW didn't even look "good" when it originally came out, I kinda hated the super cartoony cell shaded look.
Thanks guys, happy you liked it!
You fucking legend!!
You da man.
Stunning job! Thank you
Really amazing job! Just awesome
I know that we'll probably never see something like this from Blizzard, not even close, but at least you brought us joy and faith in future developers sharing this amazing showcase of art and talent. Thank you!! I hope you can build your own MMO some day, I sure as hell will play it if it looks as good as that showcase.
One of those you think you do but you don't moments, wow 2 would be awesome but lets be real it would still be made by the blizzard we have today not the blizzard we had 20 years ago.
4 battle passes a year with a giant shop would be the first thing they dev for it.
Ya not really sure why people are asking for this. The best your going to get is private servers, some of which do a far better job than blizz has since late wrath imo
@@tylerk9455 yeah, turtle.
you are not wrong, but you also have to look at the INSANE level of buy in to play WOW today you have literly 20 years of content to go through (not all of it good) and let be honest here, an archaic gameloop/engine. although blizzard has done wonders in updating the game for mordern audiances. It's just old.
And also no matter the quality of the game itself. A WOW2 would bring in a HUGE level of new players as the wow brand does still have pedigry.
you sound like a guy who doesn't have a phone
@@crassletter1437 wow 2 would be a complet restart, what is not bad if u wanna start "new". but ppl seems to not know what time and effort a MMO needs to get made. if they would announce wow 2 on the blizzcon 2024, it would not be rdy before 2040. and most likly scrapped.
The narrator of the intros is what is missing RIP he was the magic
can be replaced with AI.
@@vincentwolf1456 Even your comment can be replaced with AI, even my comment can be, even us as people can be, let's go!!!!!!
There's no way of kicking off a fantasy adventure quite like having a wise old person giving you a heart-felt speech in a deep yet mystical voice.
@@vincentwolf1456AI voice overs sucks
RIP Tony Jay
I friggin love how graphics need to be updates, clearly, but the audio is timeless!
If only they had made billions of dollars over 20 years. They might have had the means to develop the game from scratch with a modern engine. But oh well.
Could easily be done by blizzard, its designed to run low pc specs for a reason. Not everyone has a pc like Asmond lol
@@Generalkillamanretail WoW doesn't give a Sh*t about out dated PC anymore , I should know my PC gets Nuke in "Valdrakken"
How it looked in my mind back in the day.
Somehow both nostalgic and futuristic, but hit right in the feels all the same.
goddamn I wanna lvl that warrior right the fuck now
Blizzard - you think you want, but you dont 😂
You know you dont want to level, you want to buy a boost, then buy gold, then run gbids all weekend just to do the same with your alts all over again. - classic wow atm
Blood and Thunder my Troll rouge would wait as well
Shaman for me! Druid Tauren as well :D
@@MsWergo Wow 2 = Wow mobile
A WoW 2 has been LONG overdue IMO.
"wow2" is literally a meme, stop expecting it to come, it never will
What is WoW 2. Explain what you think it'd be. Would it be an MMORPG? Okay, then, you've played it. There's only so many ways to skin a cat and they've all been done by the genre.
wow2 would start with microtransactions bro
@playNsleep if enough people want it and vocalize that, blizzard would eventually do it because it's fairly easy money. For the first few years of pre and post release development.
@@TheBulge WoW2 is Burning Crusade.
If WoW 2 comes out like this I will sell my kids, divorce my wife and buy all the mounts to show all players I am still unable to raid with real gamers and achieve anything, but man, I will be enjoying the game.
exploring wow with next gen graphics will be my epic journey in mmorpg
Video finishes too early, when the zoom to character scene finishes you're assaulted with fomo/cash shop slop/battle pass hell.
as an overwatch player this hits too hard, here comes random 90€ dollar anime colab #13, two two tiers battlepass upgrades (bonus sexy mercy skin)!!! SHOP NEW !! ding ding ding
😂😂😂
Assaulted, Lmaooo
purchase new inventory slots, purchase new action slot please, purchase new bag.
Never gonna Happen even If you fast Forward to the end of time. Blizzard isnt capable of doing great stuff for a Long Time.
So hardcore classic and Season of Discovery Season 1 and maybe 2 is not great stuff? You kiddin' me?
@@BeyondDaXcan't tell if ur trolling, it's hot garbage
@@BeyondDaX season of discovery is poop incarnet
Wait, people were praising SoD, what happened? (I didn't check on the game in a long time)
@@turbotrup96 A few vtubers were at the time
Wow man. I didn't think I'd be impressed, but just seeing something so familiar look so realistic and stunning, it made me feel like I was there. Just imagine how gorgeous Azeroth would look. They could really make so much money. Sure it would take a long time, but the hype would be incredible, it would absolutely pay off for Blizzard.
the pan out from razor hill to the orc starting zone was pretty great. amazing work
I'm superior to trashmongold lol
Chills dude. Makes me to want play classic again
When Asmon said ”this is what it looked like when i first played” you got an accurate description of what nostalgia does to you.
Wow2 would have been awesome but let’s look to the future, not build hopes on what we wish for and never will enjoy due to trauma
I mean at the time the graphics looked great.
Imagination is the best graphic card you will ever get
@minuette1752 18 years ago when I was 15 it felt like I was there and still does. I met great people who felt the same way. We were all absolutely engulfed in the fantasy if it all and at the time it was something none of us had ever really experienced. Now we take it all for granted and corporations have ruined video games. Ooooo what a world.
It's not true though. I played vanilla WoW when I was also a kid (or a teenager) and it did not look like that nor did I ever think it did. I thought it looked decent and the artstyle holds up today. I think you're taking Asmon too literally.
@DriveCancelDC No. What the guy said it exactly right. Asmon was saying that when he was a kid it felt like the game looked like this. At the time and in those moments many of us were engulfed and loved it. Obviously it didn't look like this lol.
The issues is, you can use most modern graphics as you like, but that doesn't mean that all your playerbase will be able to enjoy it, as many WoW players probably don't have the hardware to play a game with such graphics. One of the biggest advantages of older MMOs is that you don't need a top-tier computer to enjoy it to the fullest. So yea, you can make WoW2 on Unreal 5, but that cuts off a large portion of your existing fanbase.
there are games with good graphics that work on decent computers, i don't think anyone is using computers from 2000's and if they are then they probably shouldn't be playing it for a subscription model at the least. If they cant optimize the performance then hire better developers, than asking ppl to pay tips (most stupid joke i heard from blizzard).
when i am paying money 100 euro per year for something then i expect it to look and feel good, they can make a separate game for that low-end users as u said. but it no way justifies ur logic of it needs to accommodate most users (low-end computers). I play ff14 (not a fan, just started playing it) on a low-end comp and even that is 10x better than what wow looks like and it has the same number of player base with good performance optimization (never seen a problem there).
Even ff14 is making a graphic update in dawntrail, they are doing justice for the amount we are paying them for the game. I dont see the same coming out of wow. No one care if u give a lot of content that is unappealing. sure there can be few that enjoy it bc they are fanboys but the majority wont.
there is SOME truth to what youre saying, however, Final Fantasy 14 has looked incredible for over a decade without any graphical overhall and it can run just fine on lower end pcs. The key is in the dev team optimizing the finished product. most standard tech can run good graphics now. what slows it down is the post rendering and lighting - the assets loading super far back. all these usually have toggles in the settings. the overall graphics in this video would run just find with a lower shadow render and shorter view distance, and ray tracing turned off (this wouldnt affect the overall upgrade).
@@HiveofIndustry well all I am asking is do justice for what we pay, nothing more. It seems people are taking our hard earned money for granted and returning nothing se expect in return. Give us a product we enjoy and everyone ja happy. Wow has so many servers, for different user bases. Focus more is what I am asking. :)
I wouldn't even imagine what places like the enchanted forest would look like with this type of remattering.
With the number of time times Orgrimmar has been remade in a different engine, wow2 could have been released.
I didn't know WoW2 would only contain Orgrimmar or Durotar as a full game
@@Szabysvk it would and now you know
is it technical possible to update the engine of the wow we have ?
@@LegitOoter nope
The music still gives me goosebumps
When the camera stopped at the Orc, I knew that was how gameplay would look like. I wish there was more footage! A big well done to all involved in creating it
Was half expecting a store popup to jumpscare me as soon as the character was going to be controllable.
The best-case scenario is we get WoW like this clip but it's solo player like Skyrim was and you can pick your race and go through the story and worlds. Mayb have a small group of friends to do dungeons with.
No way you are getting these graphics in a wow scale mmo it would have to be a different experience and I'm ok with that!
I'm superior to trashmongold lol
Yeah i mean they would have to make an entirely new combat system. The reason wow's combat system feels good is because its very minimal. It would not work in game with graphics like this.
Could easily be done by blizzard, its designed to run low pc specs for a reason. Not everyone has a pc like Asmond lol
In WoW 2 you can rent this cutscene for a month with instore credits after you sign a loyalty oath.
10 year subscription minimum or no intro for you.
Whoever made this put in more effort than Blizzard did in the last 3 expansions.
As Asmon said, this is how I looked the game the first time I played almost 20 years ago (played a NE Druid but Teldrassil felt immense and epic!)
"Harsh wastelands of Durotar" 'ROAR'
"BASED in the Warrior city of Orgrimmar" 'GRUNT'
These adlibs go HARD!
They need to uses Classic Plus as a platform to overhaul the game engine and restart the entire timeline. Work their way back to WoD and actually FINISH THE EXPANSION.
imo thats what they should've done with classic + redo everything once they hit the branch that made the game worse byt statistics ( cata) destroying the world, making everything dead n gone. And have WoW 2 ready with a new engine etc by that time to transition from classic + cata . Keep old wow alive for them but push new wow instread.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they took a bit of a different order of how they did expansions in a potential WoW2/ true Classic +.
Looking back, it kinda feels like we killed off a lot of the big names from the Warcraft games fairly quickly when you consider how long WoW's been going.
@@SheikMMO The statistics say sub growth was constant and reliable until wotlk, not cata. Wotlk turned meteoric growth into stagnation inside of one damn expansion.
@@thattigercat player base started dropping with cata, therefor think new and make something else plus the xpack was a perfect Segway for something that could be been wow 2 branch as everything got destroyed. Thats what i meant
@@thattigercat Tbf, just because the sub growth stopped in wotlk doesn't mean wotlk was a bad expansion. At some point you can't grow anymore, because all the people who may even consider buying your product already have it.
I was waiting for the ingame store to pop up when the cutscene ended
you guys ever wonder...what if they came out with a deal that's like: double your subscription so like 30-40$ per month but you get all the mounts/cosmetics whatever. i wonder how many people'd do that.
If this ever becomes actual, they should make it where the alliance and horde guilds can join with other guilds of the same faction, and then take over certain zones. Imagine having an alliance super-guild of like 300 raid members and going to raid zones. And then rebuilding the ruins in them over the time they occupy it. We could have more cities and more flight paths. And it could lead to other things, they should make it so that the player guilds can raise NPC armies, and these armies can guard these rebuilt cities while they are building/after.
So you wanne turn it into a pvp game again which would cut out 90% of the playerbase
Only circumstance i'd play wow again tbh, never gonna happen though so there we go
Cool Story tho
blizzard has cinematics with much better quality tho? just play it then if you are true to your word.
Youd come back for a graphics update when the gameplay is still dogshit? 🤡moment
@@kek651 you didnt even read what he said
@@deabogg he said he would play WoW again if it looked like that, and that thing is just a cinematic which blizzard already makes
Highschool just slapped me in the face, for a second there.
this tickled my belly like i was a child again, not in the pastor kinda way, but fun kinda way
I am gonna tell you right now, if they rebooted wow and it looked like this. Even I would go back to wow. Like honestly that is all they need to do. Go back to regular wow on Unreal 5
rebooted? its still going strong my dude
Would play female undead rogue for the insane backflip animations and stuff.
@@playNsleep I know, I am saying if they rebooted it, meaning starting over in a new engine
@@confusedashell020 …it would be so wild! All those Outland locations would be amazing!
@@playNsleepSo there is still 12 million players like when I played????
Better graphics won't make you feel the same as you did back in 2004.
Those graphics would
If something like this ever gets released, idk man, incredible
I remember before we got flying , I managed to get into a area where there was no graphics just the basic lines then I got stuck in a hole and for2 hours I couldn’t get out eventually having to hearthstone back to the inn.
you sat in a hole for 2 hours before you teleported out...what you doing in that hole?
@@Vlad-bu3mr trying every pixel to get out I didn’t want to teleport out since it took me an hour to find a route to where I fell in . ( the invisible walls)
0:19 why does this look like the plains of eidolon from warframe lol
It's the lighting and color tone
Same engine
This terrain looks like the official Unreal Engine 5 Demos that were shown
If wow had graphics like this, I would even play it for the first time. 😂
As soon as this hits ima play wow again
I wanna come home and its only when it looks like this
There's a very good reason why WoW looks like what it does: lowest common denominator. The people with a PC so bad it's a wonder it even turns on.
A PC with a GPU so bad, integrated graphics gets insulted. It can't open more than two tabs in Chrome, but it can run WoW.
Look at you mister fancy pants.
My shitty PC, like you said can't handle the Legion after WoD, even WoD so bad on that computer. After Legion I bought 1050 ti 4GB VRAM, ryzen 3 2200g, 8gb RAM PC and still going with it. I'm gonna buy a new PC soon but still, populated zones still gives bad performance. WoW don't give a fuck about low PC's anymore, game so big now. I support Asmon's "RESET THE GAME" idea with this argument.
@@Gundalfokay, see how much you had to upgrade your PC, now imagine how much you would need to upgrade it if all the graphics were upgraded to this level. It would be insane.
I’m old. I was there when it all began.
1. Make the game look like this.
2. Consult with Asmon on how to keep the game fun like vanilla was, and wow2 would dominate.
3. ruin it all just like they did with overwatch
The guy never played "Vanilla". He played Classic, he joined "Vanilla" pretty late when it was all about farming honor gear right before it ended.
Consult with asmon? Lmaoooo
The game needs more than just Asmon consulting on this.
they would rather consult Sweet baby inc. LOL
just imagine using VR doing all the same daily quest which normally will take 4hour on pc except now you need to do it physically by ur own body movements 😂
Love the SC2 soundtrack choice for this.
honestly if they made them all under the same monthly sub then.
Vanilla, TBC and WOTLK should have been WoW 1
Cata, MoP, Wod and Legion could have been WoW 2
BFA, shadowlands and Dragon flight could have been WoW 3
then have the War Within and newer could be WoW 4.
So just change the name? I don’t get it. What does that change by calling it wow 1-4?
@@MrdevdevIt's like poetry, it rhymes.
@@ComicGladiator yeah okay george lucas
Man ffXIV online 10 years ago was still shitting on wows game design and graphics and somehow blizzard keeps that shit looking like Jagix Runescape garbage..... Long overdue is an understatement.
Nothing short of ending WoW now and putting in a WoW2 is gonna happen.
We are also getting a upgrade to the graphics with Dawntrail that, we got a taste with the character model with Clive using the new male Hruy and damn it is noticeable compared to the player models atm.
I mean this is how the game looked like when we first played it right?!
That fire is super scuffed.
You’d have 12 players. That all who could afford a rig that can play it.
700 years? That will be crap in 700 years. In 700 years you are prolly wandering around Azeroth in person. In some form of mind tech interface.
Good thing we'll all be dead by then.
Correction: OTHER companies will be using the mind tech interface. Blizzard will still be trying to find ways to monetize the air you breathe while you're playing WoW's 36th expansion.
Only fucking idiots can't tell when people are joking 🙄
My PC is screaming just watching a video of it.
oh cmon the fire looks like something from their warcraft 2 cinematics ..
Impressive for its own thing... but absolutely NO THANKS! The best thing about the wow art style is that it not just another game chasing the "realistic" style. That's a huge part of why it has lasted as long as it has, since the art style is not instantly outdated. And that with a hand painted style they get to be more artistic with the colors/textures.
Yeah, I wish more people understood this. It's also far less fatiguing, has much more clarity and is much easier to run than a "realistic" style.
Ask anyone under the age of 25 what they think of WoW. You guys are so much cope thinking the artstyle held up it looks like wizard 101.
@@another_turtle The game is 20 years old and is still the most popular MMO out there. You shouldn't be asking the people who haven't seen games evolve over 2 decades, you should be asking the people who have. You can mod Wind Waker's textures to make it look like it came out yesterday. You can't do the same to something like Oblivion, despite all the mods. For MMOs, stylized is so much better for so many reasons. The lighting in realistic-looking games will look especially dated as tech progresses. There's also the matter of how many people can actually run the game. If you want a huge community, you want stylized.
@@tucci06 No one under the age of 25 plays MMO's anymore, its the only big MMO besides other niche ones. Also it has a very dedicated addicted fanbase. Objectively it looks bad and is severely outdated. Modern wow is literally just a spreadsheet simulator you could play the game just by reading text.
@@another_turtle Yea well then tell me how are the more "realistic" looking wow killers going that were supposed to overthrow wow with their fancy graphics?
Spoiler most of them are either dead and gone or look like ass because realistic graphics from 2010-2018 did not age well at all.
DUDE this looks sick!
They forgot to add the pop-up window for the in-game store
WoW's graphics are timeless and perfect the way it is.
Everyone saying I'd play WoW if it looked like this .. nothing about the actual game would change .. it'd still be run to X, kill Y and go back to Z. I've played much prettier MMORPG than WoW .... that didn't make them better games, just prettier.
Lmao good joke, you do standup?
yeah thats why they changing the ui and graphics, keep the old graphics
until you make something amazing like this lol
SURE. AN ALSO NO.
Even WoW's developers would disagree with you with their graphical updates and animations changes.
tech is not ready to roll it steady for 700 years still :D
This video: how much MEGAscans of rocks and mountaints at 8k from Grand Canyon do you need. This guy: YES!
and this is the 1 to 1 redesign. Imagine having the upscaled world with the bigger villages and huge cities
Hits you right in the nostalgias
THE MUSIC
Forgot to have the giant ad billboards and the shop permanently in the UI with one click purchases to catch those misclicks
It looks gorgeous, but I wonder how much power would be needed to make a game at that level of detail? My computer already runs hot playing WOW, and I don't even run it on max settings.
How much will this expansion be?
i was really expecting to hear the walking sound
Dude in 700 years that'll be real life. You'll load it up and jump into the sim.
Blizz Legal department : "no no no to real to handle" 😱
HOLY SHIT WHY CAN'T THIS BE A THING
Wow man i never thought of wow 2, i think that would be freaking awesome man!
I got goosebumps watching this, it's been 10-15 years since last playing wow
"In 700 years" more accurate words have never been spoken
On November 23th, WoW will turn 20 years old. The fascination WoW once had is long gone. But seeing stuff like this... gives me hope that a visual overhaul might give me similar feelings when I first played this game.
nostalgia in 4k
When some one moved a chair in the past. Blizzard would still be the studio we knew and loved. And they introduced WoW 2 with upgraded graphic and up to date gameplay!
Looks like the WarCraft3 Reforged Trailer...
Imagine this was their vision for season of Discovery!
So the game finally looks like the cinematic?
cool
My computer overheated thinking about running this
For the first time in ages I wouldn't skip the intro
Smacks table. Give me a starcraft mmo
I have been playing classic HC 8 hours a day lately and tbh, the graphics don't bother me one bit. I'd still love to see a version of wow with this level of graphics, also, with full voice acted quests. The voice over addon really makes classic pop.
I think my PC is burning just by watching asmon react to it...
I'd love to bring my kids into WoW 2 like this.
Where's the ingame shop though?
Imagine launching this as vanilla wow 2! ❤and re doing each expansion as this engine, wow 😍
great cutscene, it's just too bad my PC is going to go back to 2008 and and WTF BOOM meme the second it trys to run this game.
This is incredible. I would do anything for a entire remake of WoW looking like this, Classic era, full populated pvp server of casual players. No mods allowed. Pure OG WoW with graphics like this...... fuck. Just upload my conscience into it and ill live there.
I can already imagine the RGB light show on the cloud effects on AMD Radeon hardware.
This guy would probably make a kick ass wow movie
AXCEL doing great things too with Project Grunt.
If this ever happened, id come back.
I want to see another warcraft movie made like this, but I'm pretty sure I'd need 2 pcs to play something that looked like this
There is literally no wind yet the fire is going crazy :).
Istg if they do full reset in WoW 2, going from vanilla to whatever now, perhaps with an alternate timeline? I would jump in.
It looks amazing❤ I wish to play WoW like that someday. Maybe in 10-20 years😂
🎮 Amazing vision for WoW 2, Voolcan! Keep it up. 👏
