Preview of the Motorbike vehicle in Grizzly Hills
Did you doubt that engineers would be
the coolest players in the expansion? This
little demo of the motorbike coming (supposedly) to engineers in
Wrath of the Lich King is, as our own Dan O'Halloran said when he saw it, the first movie of
WoW where the death metal actually belong. The thing tools around Grizzly Hills
at top speed. Maybe it's just the way it's been implemented on the private server, but if those jumps are possible on the live realms (physics? in
WoW?), then
vehicles in Wrath are going to be awesome.
Of course, this doesn't exactly signal the return to swords and sorcery that players were hoping for in Northrend — what does it mean if we've replaced the spaceships of the last expansion with tanks? But WoW has always had a steampunk feel, and this does seem like a natural extension. Ladies and Orcs, start your engines!
