Why does Classic look so much better than Retail?

I agree. WoW cinematics (real cinematics I mean) are awesome. I hoped to play with that kind of graphics some day since I saw it first time. Just watch WoW vanilla cinematic, it’s amazing but our computers are still weak and can’t render that stuff. May be one day.

I’m not sure if this post is supposed to be sarcastic, but I am 100% sure that Classic looks awful next to retail in pretty much every way.

Yeah those cinematic’s are awesome still

Yeah we should be at Holo Deck level of computers by now, not sure what’s these people are playing at tbh. Pure laziness.

The AI overlord that will take over the planet soon will hopefully give us better computers

Your rotten undead eyeballs cannot see the horror that retail wow has become, you are a lucky soul

probably out of nostalgia when you see classic that retail just doesn’t trigger and you then associate the good feelings you feel with classic and not retail to how the game looks because idk man I’m not your subconscious I don’t know how you work why are you even asking me this

It really does. I tried to play it a couple of years ago and I couldn’t deal with the geriatric visuals.

It might run better but it doesn’t look better.

In any way

Ironic. You’re posting a picture of a dwarf with ugly facial features. Oh yeah Classic uses different facial features while retail dont. Retail uses the same face template with no distinguish facial features like this.

Stop doing crack would help.

I get ya. Classic’s more fun. I play on a classic private server and it’s soon getting a new update.

I am still pissed that this face style doesn’t exist in “new” models.

For the real Lara Croft experience your character would explode into tiny pixels if you put them into a slutmog or took their clothes off.

Yes I am that old I still remember that rumour in TR1 that was programmed into TR2

And are we still doing “Classic is better than Retail!”
“No retail is!”
“Isn’t!”
“is!”
“ISNT!”
“IS!”
“ISNT ISNT ISNT!!!”
“Neil your bedroom’s on fire!”

It’s because you can run classic on full ultra settings and your pc/laptop thinks nothing of it.
Try running modern wow with same settings and your pc tanks.

But go back to 2005 , with a 2005 mid to low pc and yeah you wouldn’t be making this post. That’s what the majority of us played on lmao

…but Retail has ducks!

Retail has definitely better graphics from a technical point of view, this is not even a discussion.

What is discussable though is that the closer we get to realistic and more detailed graphics:

  • the closer we get to the Uncanny Valley
  • the more difficult it becomes to fill any “missing” information with one’s imagination
  • the easier it becomes to notice anything that stands out

This is more evident in the cinematics.

HAHAHAHAHA, get eye glasses.
I was happy to download classic to play for the nostalgia but I logged off the second I saw how ugly it was back then.
For real, you need eye-glasses.
