BlizzCon 2009: Worgen animation
Our own Mike Schramm brings you video of the process Worgen players will undergo when they transform, fresh from the BlizzCon floor. Enjoy your piping hot man to beast-man transformation! I know I'm going to be keeping my Worgen in his bestial form as much as possible, myself, but it's still cool to watch.
Update by Mike Schramm: Since we took this video at the Art Panel, I've played the Worgen on the floor, and this animation is now fully implemented in the demos here. Going into combat as a Worgen does a quicker animation that sends you into Wolf form (yes, you must be in Wolf form during combat, and it's purely cosmetic). But hitting the transformation ability while a human will give you this animation -- it looks great.

They really need to update the old human models, hell all of the old models now what with the new race/class combos.
Compared to the BC races the Vanilla ones are looking exceedingly long in the tooth and adding in even better looking Worgan and Goblins is going to make them look even worse, might even need to update the graphics on all of the pre-cataclysm races.

Has it been confirmed that you get to customize both forms?

I'm wondering how they would do the character's physical. I mean, will in the character page, will you have to make both a human and a worgen's attributes? (physical)

I'll make a deal... Alliance can have worgen for cataclysm as long as we get the Arrakoa on horde-side for the next expansion. Racial = Flying without a mount. I'm considering faction transfering my DK to alliance as a Worgen. Or maybe the druid if Worgen get their own forms.

The guy animation is really cool but....
I am a female gamer and I haven't even seen a simple animated version even just standing in a screenshot. I demand justice for this!

Hopefully they will do something to make all other races as appealing
as well!
