Giant pauldrons

That giant helmet is not much better. Both look cartoony as fuck.

SAY THE WORD

This, what is Blizzard's obsession with fuckhuge pauldrons

NIGGA

Soulless

i legitimately love fuckhuge pauldrons, but even i think this shit looks stupid.

No it's not.

they ripped it from Games Workshop.

blizzard's lead designers are hacks

I really don't like how the remake looks, the original is much more charming. Many of the units themselves look pretty cool, yes, but not in-game, at least in the footage we saw.

PAULDRONS

Sure the giant pauldron looks somewhat off, but it seems like it would protect from side arrows.

How did the alliance become fucking starcraft marines?

That's not a proper tabard

if any of you twats would look before getting upset you would see that the pauldrons are fuckhuge in the OG cinematic.

But no one on Yea Forums has ever played this game.

Sure, and how exactly is he supposed to SEE anything directly not in front of him?

>literally pauldrons so big they are blocking all sight to the sides

why would he.
Charge the enemy or else

they looked ridiculous then and they look ridiculous now

He obviously would have to do quick small side turns. Most battle in the past weren't as chaotic or cinematic as people think, they were done in sets of structures, like formations, and so forth.

It wasn't that bad.

They're so big they act as a cage that prevent him from falling on his head and snapping his neck when some fuckhuge demon knocks him away.

I bet they will make children npc invincible

Blizzard is a parody of itself at this point.

You forgot the dragon scales

Tho pauldrons could be bigger, not much protection there

It makes you look freakishly roid-huge. Power-fantasy, intimidation, whatever.

Based Orc Warrior

this desu

GW just turned all their fantasy humans into SPESS MUHREENS so obviously Blizzard had to follow suit.

They haven't shown the sorceress model yet. Jaina's midriff and tits are intact though.

That would only be fair as they did hide the grunt's asscheeks.

Removing mutton-chops for that crap was not and will never be okay.

The old humans were badass dudes that fought and struggled daily to survive, what little moments of comfort they had sifted through their lives like grains of pretzel-salt occassionally sifting through their immense moustaches. They weren't some genetically-created supersoldiers designed with nothing else in mind, they were absolute chads that went out and smashed evil in the throat because taking evil in a fair fight would've been a retarded suggestion.

Those men were the heroes of the Empire, that place has since been taken from them.

I hate how even warhammer fantasy(aka age of sigmar) made this almost the norm. Even the order races are full of giant pauldrons now. And they went full current WoW artstyle in general too. I fucking hate that shit.

Blizzard was first going to do WC3 HD as a quicky remastering ala Starcraft HD, but then thru internal opinon and some focus testing they came to the conclusion that if you just brought the game rudamentary models up to 4K Status they'd look like a Mobile Game.

I agree that the WoWified/Cutscene style models is jarring at first, but at least it looks like a AAA game. Frankly I'm just glad I have a chance to go back home and throw more Flying Hammers as the Mountain King.

Can anyone fill me in why Blizzard is so obsessed with comically ginormous pauldrons? I just don't get it.

Attached: fat wojak.png (640x783, 90K)

Not him but that is a tabard, notice how it goes in under the belt and breastplate. Why he wears a tabard on the INSIDE of his armor is beyond me however, it's like someone putting a tshirt on over a sweatshirt.

>Someone on this planet actually likes Age of Shitmar

Isn't that the unholy tetranny of shit remakes? Sasuga dumb feelsposter.

I don't like them, but I'll play devils advocate and say that it does create recognizable silhouettes, which is a useful thing. It also helps further differentiate distinct factions by pushing their unique aesthetic into large pieces of armor that the eye is immediately drawn towards.
There are a lot of different art styles in Warcraft and big pauldrons help define them at first glance.

Those pauldrons would weigh like 80 pounds each. No fucking way. Arthas would have Arthritis in like 3 months of usage

I can't believe you are stuck in 2015. Just wait til you hear about who is running for president in the republican party

Because Orcs in Space I mean Starcraft was such a megahit that Blizzard probably assumed that they needed to keep the Space Marine look.

Do you not have shoulders?

That's still not a tabard. Stop learning medieval/renaissance harness parts and fashion from World of Warcraft.

Fixed that for you.

Stormcast could look cool if their design was used for like one angelic sort of hero. An army comprised of dudes looking like that looks like complete shit.

underrated

We need to go deeper.

They only need to tone down the shoulders, make the swords hilt a bit more realistic, the blade more straight, the shield a bit thinner and it's very good.

this is great
wtf nu-blizzard is doing

the funny thing is, to any wc3 player they instantly understand the design. if you do not understand the design you are literally admitting you have never played the games.

I wanna see how they will fuckup undead. And censor hot night elven archers and huntresses

They'll censor the undead too because of the Chinks.

yeah they should recreate the art based off of a style no one cares about and has never been used by them.

This isn't a remaster. It's a reimagining and the new imaginers can't make a good game to save their lives. If they could, they wouldn't be remaking their old stuff.

I've beaten RoC and TFT on Hard. I know the lore such that I can trace a straight line from Kil'Jaeden to Sylvanas. It's telling that me, a stupid incel, knows more about what made the original great than NuBlizz.

Glad you could make it Uther

the model for the new footman is based off of the cgi cutscene. it is so obvious to anyone that has played the game, that cherrypicking concept art is irrelevant.

I watch my tongue with you old man, I may be the prince, but you are still my superior as a paladin.

How much do you think all that shit weighs?

This honestly looks so bad. Normally I'm not as pessimistic as the doomsayers on Yea Forums but holy shit. They don't even look like their WC3 counterpart, it's their faces. They look like some cheap Chinese CG fan movie or something. I don't even care about the armor or huge shoulders, the faces just look so incredibly off.

Left graphics suck tho

OH NO NO NO NO HAHAHAHAHAAH

And the one on the left is? It doesnt even look human. Looks like a mess of polygons from ancient computer times. Its ugly as fuck, and nobody wants to look at that old ass garbage unless theyre doing it ironically. Get with the times grandpa. Better graphics arent a bad thing just because you cant comprehend them anymore. I bet you still use a flip phone faggot lmao. Go change some diapers and get yelled at by your wife or something dumb out of touch boomer. We video games now.

The right looks fine.
>Mobile game
All youre saying is that some mobile games look good despite the platform they're on.

For real. These designers would really benefit from trying to wear some

Just make the pauldrons smaller and the shield wider to cover more of his body and it'd look a lot better I think.

BEHOLD

How can you be so fucking stupid like blizz

A soldier only needs to look forward, where the fight is. Like horses. Truly genius.

Only problem is the giant pauldrons, even on WoW it looks fucking stupid but blizzard will never get rid of them because "lols its a meem!!!"

They were proud ffx was considered the best looking ps2 game of its time. So now they mostly focus on visuals

I only liked wc3/WoW cartoon art back in the early 2000s because it fit with low poly constraints.
However the Art concept or reforged are pretty good so far.

>he says, as he enjoys the literal grimdark scifi rip off

Yes which is why irl armies in the past clad their soldiers in armor with impractically huge pauldrons and trained them to do special maneuvers so entire infantry units could shuffle around and check their flanks in unison since nobody could turn their heads.

Botw is very cartoony too. Cartoony graphics are way cheaper to make and require less ressources.

If it's not a tabard what is it then?

ENGAGING DEFENSE MODE

...or becoming a turtle

Post that ugly one with Tryande one the moonsaber. It reeks of chink drawing.

Not him but its a loincloth.

A tabard is basically just a giant sheet with one hole in it for your head, it goes over the outer most part of your armor and is used for identification in a battlefield when worn on armor.

Basically think of a huge poncho.

Jesus the more you look at it the more retarded it becomes.

LOOK AT THOSE SHOULDERS. Holy fucking shit while the original has pretty big ones this is just a fucking meme size, they are so large you literally could not fucking SEE anything to either side of you.

Why is he now wearing a tabard and why is it UNDER his fucking armor. Why has his plate been replaced with scales and why is his helmet completely fucking different.

Its a dev trick if you make the armor covering the shoulders fuck huge you dont need to animate the shoulder underneath rotating which can lead to weird clipping and graphical errors, they did the same thing in mass effect with Krogan armor and maybe humans? I cant remember precisely. I can undestand doing it for the rank a files in an RTS but it would nice for some extra detail on the hero models.

dropped like the sack of shit that it is.

See

It's not a fucking loincloth either dipshit.

What the fuck? Can anyone confirm this?

Why can't Blizzard do anything right?

Reminds me of the Faraam armor, which is aesthetic.

literally the most soulless remaster ever made

Yes, it is, any cloth (usually cloth, but also leather/fur) over your crotch, whether asymmetrical on your ass as well is a loincloth. The only other option is a skirt, which this is not because its not covering his entire bottom section.

Have a nice day kiddo :^)

>OLD GOOD

I'm surprised you didn't put an mspaint comic along with your post to really drive this point home.

Not him but you cant justify those shoulders, they are beyond just being a bit large it looks utterly moronic.
