How in Hellscream...

Did Blizzard get from this beast:


...To this piece of crap?

[Soulwind]

Face and arms are fine. They probably thought ogres needed to keep their belly, with all this roman aristocracy thing they have in Draenor.

Had the artists had more time, they could have made a 'brute' model for guys like the Butcher that looked a bit more like that artwork.

[CosmicGuitars]

Because it's concept art, and they probably wanted to keep them resembling like the ogres we know instead of making them look radically different?

This thread is going far.

Concept art is concept art, many things just looks better on the pencil strokes and paper. I have hardly seen a game who completely followed their concept art.

Doesn't the ogre model goes back to vanilla (where according to tinfoil hat people, wow was better)?

[Corzo]

Try googling strongman, the ogres ingame look alot like strongmen, (Men who train only to be strong, and don't care much for looks. They are the guys lifting rocks and moving trucks.)
I think they look good ingame, they don't look aesthetic like bodybuilders, but like beasts who could roll a boulder up a mountain.

Well, the skeleton does but the skin doesn't, they have recieved their updates.

vanilla was 10 years ago..surely they could come up with something better now, warhammer did 7 years ago

This is more into the direction of the Ogres ingame:

Ones a sketch and the other is computer animated. Thats why!

Here's a pic of Illidan!

And here is his in game picture


all art and concept art is better than the actual product but WoW has its own style they got to incorporate. That ogre would look so out of place in WoW's universe!

this. sad but true.

Are you honestly trying to compare concept art/illustrations with in-game models?
No wonder you are disappointed

[Deleted]

Yeah, WoW is going downhill fast. Just look at this flawless execution from concept art to ingame model from way back when the game had a soul!

Darn those greedy jerks and their need to harsh my artistic buzz!

I prefer the big Ogre myself, but I do like the skinner Ogre too.

[Golden Yak]

Warcraft Ogres have gotta have big bellies - concept art is cool but I never thought of it as 'fitting' for a WoW ogre. I actually miss some features of the old ogres, and their nostrils like wheel arches.

[TheMediator]

That first image doesn't even look like an ogre, it looks like a gronn with armor on. Pass. I actually really like the direction of the ogres in-game.

[ro9ue]

There are very few games that have achieved the same exact look as their concept art.

That new Crowfall game looks like it's doing a decent job of it though. No other MMO really has imo. GW2 probably has the best concept art of any MMO (imo) and the game looks nothing like it.
