WoW: Admire 25 years of Warcraft in high-resolution 8K

Youtuber Upscale has made it his mission to make game trailers and compilations of old video games as high-resolution as possible. Diablo fans probably know his 4K version of the Diablo 2 trailer from 1999. In his latest video, Upscale has grabbed Blizzard's "For Azeroth" trailer and tried to squeeze out as many pixels as possible.

From Orcs vs Humans to Reign of Chaos to today's story, Upscale shows how to get a little more out of Thrall, Sylvanas and co. visually. With the videos we know from modern times, this may not be particularly breathtaking. The art is to get as much as possible out of the especially old hams from 1994 to make it as visually bearable as possible for our today's demands.

Even if you don't like great graphics, the video is still worth watching for Warcraft fans. Make sure that you have actually selected 4320p or 8K for "Quality" in the video settings of Youtube (cogwheel at the bottom right). As a rule, the quality always adjusts automatically. If you are on the road on your smartphone, you might want to watch the video at home on your PC or wi-fi first because of the high data consumption on 8K. From minute 4:26, the scenes of the original from Blizzard are once again juxtaposed with the pimped pixel count.
