GamesRadar leaks Mists of Pandaria (WoW) videos and screens

Looks like Guild Wars' Pre-Searing Ascalon.

That is exactly what I was going to say... if I planned on being nice about it.

"So they've finally reached 2006 visuals?"

The primary reason I could never see myself getting into this game is how bad it looks.
 
I tell myself this is the WoW expansion that I don't buy. I mean, I bought Cata, leveled to 85, and haven't played since. It would make sense that I don't buy this expansion.

And yet, that old familiar tug is there, gnawing away at me.

I did the same but don't have any of the pull to get back into playing.
 
Just doesn't really do it for me. Where is the big bad guy in this expansion?

The worst is that if I do resub, I'm bored within three days or so, and then I don't touch it for another 27.

I didn't do it with Cataclysm though. I haven't even bitten on their free offers to play for seven days, mostly because I'd be unguilded and don't have anything outside of the gear I got from questing up to level 85. I didn't even run any of the Cata instances.

I did most of the instances and a few heriocs, a little pvp so I was in pretty decent starting out set but the more I did the less I felt like doing more after that, logged on less and less with each day and then that was that.
 
I think the whole concept is awesome and really a breath of fresh air. I'm damn tired of stupid dragons who keep going insane and undead. It's tired and played out. Running around in some pretty asian style zones with new asian style clothes and armor is going to be awesome. Not to mention playing a monk and beating some bastards down with fist weapons. Yeah...gonna be awesome.
 
Everytime a new expansion has been announced I haven't been subscribed to WoW. I've come back for every expansion, but this is the first expansion that I honestly don't care about at all.

It looks good, but I'm just not feeling it for some reason.
 
Showcases what was lost since classic. Part of the enjoyment of clearing Scarlet Monastery was banding up outside the gates to clear the elites on your way in (or hoping someone else had done it for you).

Now, you'll sit at the auction house (or screw around with your solo daily quests) and be teleported with 4 players from another server when your queue is up.

Oh man those were the days... none of this instant teleport to dungeon of your choice, you actually have to ride you mount (or walk) there.
 
I don't know how people can say this. If ANY game came out looking like this it would be slammed into the ground universally. It looks like crap.

It's totally subjective. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't. I don't know why people say this kind of stuff.
 
I thought I loved all things rpg, even

But this just looks like it has goofy disaster written all over. I'm sure the fan base will like it, but it isn't doing anything to draw me in.

Are you kidding me? Blizzard has mastered portraying their art style on their old game engine and they still make beautiful, jaw-dropping environments. It does not look like crap at all.

Fuck no. World of Warcraft's art style is a timeless masterpiece. Here you can look past the usual shit like 'Oh my god low-res textures' because the style is just so brilliant.

The thing is, the textures aren't low-res anymore. Maybe compared to most modern games but it's seriously higher-res than vanilla WoW or BC. Reason it's looking "dated" is because the models are low-poly. But hey, if they keep wrapping these super-artistic textures around low-poly models then I've got no problem. Looks awesome.
 
Maybe gatti-man only looked at the picture of the panda chick (barf)
What I'm saying is we need more pics in da house.

Oh yeah I agree but that's just the ye' old complaint when it comes to WoW's graphics. I don't care either way as I love the art style to death and enjoy the game.
 
Looks better than TOR at least.

No, not even close actually. I've played both games wow doesn't hold a candle to swtor graphically. If you want to say well the art is better I would disagree there too. Art hampered by ancient graphic design still ends up looking terrible, especially at hi-res.

That does look great but the character models and most textures pull me right out. Wow has some nice set pieces but to me the game got ugly about 4 years ago and now it looks like a $15 Indy project to me. That's my opinion and i will stop derailing the thread now.
 
God, those videos got such an itch going to go explore that stuff. Exploration was always my favorite part of MMOs (and the lack of it lately is a big reason I haven't played MMOs in forever). But yeah, not going to buy an expansion and resub for a month just to look around.

Exploration in WoW??? When did you play last? Vanilla?

you're mad. wow still looks gorgeous.
it's only going to look dated if/when they release WoW2
 
everything looks great. honestly, i started playing wow last march, and i've never even noticed the so-called low poly characters. i still think they look fine considering the scope of the game.

these screens look even better. can't wait.
 
Looks like what I expected it to look like.

Not very exciting to me, heroic scholo and strath...yawn. More rehashed dungeons?
