Blizzard are the only ones who realistically accept that using a 2020 level of hardware on a game as old as WoW is a waste; when even the cinematic they produced are only ever intended to be viewed on 1080p hardware.There's only SO much accommodating they can do to keep those for who WoW, as one of a myriad titles they play, happy.The more higher resolution/newer titles that any given player plays, the more disillusioned they're gonna be accepting that a game this old is wasted on a machine that requires a budget of $2000 or more.Sure; upscaling software exists, but if Blizzard were really intending their cinematics to be viewed in 4K, they'd produce them that way themselves.Learn to accept that this side of a WHOLE engine rewrite, Blizzards' WoW cinematics will ONLY ever leave their machines as 1080p... and just because YOU can afford 4k/120Hz - or whatever mode above 1080p you chose - game play, you're probably is the fraction of 1% of players that do.
you people complaining WHY CANT BLIZZARD UPSCALE THIS :((((( when we've literally never had cinematics in CGI quality before for expansions, minus BFA.How are you people SO GREEDY? stop crying about nonsense that doesnt even matter when we're being given the best of the best quality of cinematics for FREE WITHOUT ADDITIONAL EXPANSIONS.would it be cool? YESwould it be cool if they were 60 fps? YESbut stop *!@#ing pushing this NONSENSE that "its just a switch they have to flip!" when you literally have no experience working in rendering or other techs. my god.
This whole discussion is dumb as hell. Do you genuinely believe the only versions of the cinematics available are some 1080p crushed youtube version? What do you think they show at big events? What do you think is gonna go in future art books? What do you think those new wallpapers came from? Those werent rendered frames, they were screencaps from a high quality, native resolution video. https://imgur.com/a/wqe2LcWJust release THAT, somewhere where it wont be compressed horribly.Jesus people they don't render this stuff to look like it does on youtube. It gets downgraded after.
this major character, on the video still (Sire Denathrius), always reminds me Lee Pace actor :D I like this.
I cannot wait to kill Denathrius.
