ActionTrip joins the ranks of sites that posted a preview of World of Warcraft. Here's a snip about the graphics:
Graphics are, or rather seem, to have a great advantage when compared to other MMORPG's we've seen developed thus far. The environments are embellished with a substantial spectrum of colors and textures, which mutually shape an opulent world just waiting to be surveyed. Once you've eyed the screenshots and the trailer, you will recognize that the game possess a great resemblance to the designs and artworks of Blizzard's upcoming RTS - Warcraft III. This means that all of the models have that special cartoon-like appearance. As we've ascertained many times in the past, the games from Blizzard Entertainment always point towards a first-class animation system; especially when it comes to portraying life-like and self-motivated character models. What's more, they are set to be distinctive, so it will never occur that players run into mirror-matched opponents. Creating characters comprises a commendable technique that allows characters to actually substitute polys, as opposed to merely replacing skins. The method applies to the moments when you change the characters armor and clothes. World of Warcraft also utilizes a powerful 3D game engine which gave the developers freedom to induce all sorts of imposing environment effects (sky alterations like mist, shifting clouds, and so on), as well as visually impressive water surfaces. Various shadow and lighting effects were also incorporated allowing an eye-catching color change in the environment as the day and night cycle passes. |
