Recycling the same 3D engine over and over wont help hiding some ugly situations :|

Cataclysm looks and sounds great, I can't wait for it! Seriously thinking about levelling a Worgen first before my main.

first I thought that was a shaman ;D
now I'm not sure what that picture is about..

[Luris]

Nothing impressive so far. I hope they pull a great job like they always do

[Hypothermia]

I'm digging the new water rendering engine in the expansion.

The water looks so awesome.

[Getreuer]

Maybe it's just me, but it's look like they have changed the gfx on water, so it's looks more "clean" and better.

Anyways, look's fine, but i can't still imagine a worgan in tier/pvp gear :s

[WInddu]

Icecrown looks great:

From the screenshots I can see the new art style Blizzard is heading towards in the new expansion.. and I'm loving it. Much like Outlands was an upgrade to classic WoW and Northrend was an upgrade to Outlands, from a graphic and art style point of view, we'll see a similar upgrade in Cataclysm. I don't see a reason to all this whining about how the game still looks bad. Because it really doesn't. You gotta understand that realism is not something Blizzard is aiming towards and the cartoony graphics have been there from.. from Warcraft III actually. I have played games like AoC but I really don't think I'd prefer that kind of style. Blizzard could pull off realistic graphics if they really wanted to, it's just not Warcraft.

probably because its an expansion for a ~5 year old game.

if they upgraded wow they would lose so many customers b/c peoples computers can barely run wotlk as it is.
