The animation for Worgen(WoW) is pretty well known by most folks by now. The pretty nice animation is served as the "mount" for the class.
However, even if it's pretty nice and cool is it really good enough to be copied?

WoW Worgen "Running Wild animation:
GW2 copy cat: (Check from ~ 2.40)
Comments
The gw2 animation was shown way before the wow one btw, not that it matters, there are only so many ways a werewolf can run.
<Welcome to my world>
Personally, I think that the gw2 charr running animation is much better than the worgen one.
errrr..whaT?
Lol, I can't believe that WOW is copying GW2 now
Needs to be an option for "Who cares."
I mean really why do people care if everything is original and innovative? Is your life original and innovative?
Hey look a Lion copied the Tiger's running style. What a copy CAT(yes pun intended)! Oh wait humans run on two legs they must have copied from chickens! And apparently someone's brain was copied from a chicken.
how the hell would you want a werewolf to run? On 1 leg so it can look like unique?
Where is the option for: It makes sense for both races so who cares that the Charr will run like the worgen...it makes both races more unique than just a typical animal headed human.
-I want a Platformer MMO
not going to dignify this with voting...posting is fine though.
The linked worgen video shows that WoW doesn't even have that run very well implemented...oh, and as previously stated, charr had it first until somebody can prove otherwise.
so...Blizzard...copying GW2 now are you?
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
BOOYAKA!
Shh, Blizzard invented werewolves.
There isn't even enough of a window in time for one to have copied the other (you don't do this kind of thing in just one week and have it in a presentable state for the public especially along with a beta or demo to show with it), it's just a zealous World of Warcraft fan doing his work. Expect much more as we come closer to release, along with the hater bandwagon whose fire shines very brightly on these forums at every release.
I think darkfall was the first MMO i can think of that suggest 4 legged run. It was never implemented however do to darkfall being a PvP mmo and balance issues,
In reality though 4 legged running is not that original of an idea and no one is copying anyone. Plus those animation took a lot different from each other. Even though they are the same thing,
The GW2 animation of Chars from Gamescon (last week of August 2010) is the best "furrie" animation I seen.
Why would they copy the Worgen fron Wow? thay already have one that it at least as good. And just cause they showed them at Gamescon does not mean it was just made.
The whole idea of GW2 is a online game that doesn't copy EQ and Wow in every step, why start now?
I was kinda surprised that the Char runs on all 4 but it looks great. Wow and GW2 released their vids at the same time enough to show that neither of them were actually copying eachother, just let it be like that.
The Worgen animations are not bad but I actually prefer the Char one. So no. Some game more or less copy and paste from wow because they can, not because they have to. Lets actually let GW2 do it's own stuff instead.
Chars are a lot older than Worgen (well, Worgen are ripped from R.I.F.T.S but in MMOs chars are older). Chars were in the first Gw1 campaign in april 2005, half a year after the release of vanilla Wow. Then they run on 2 legs, something Anet have changed later.
I don't think the Worgen are based on chars, they are based on wolfens but either if they would be both games do their own animations here. Let it continue that way thankyou.
*wonders how long till someone says it's copying wow and thats its now a wow clone*
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
Oh I see what you did there, the GW2 video you linked has powerleveling advertisements.
Char: 2005 (April)
Wolfen, I mean Worgen: 2010 (November)
No one is that stupid. I really mean that. Not a single person.
I'm not sure but I don't think I ever saw a charr run on all fours in GW1, though the GW2 video was still months before any Cataclysm video.
Anyway, you can't put a werewolf on a mount.
<Welcome to my world>
You'd be surprised. I've seen it said already so...there you go.
Nah, I said it a few posts up, they changed it for GW2. But none of them had really the time to revvamp the animation to that quality without getting the same idea to when they presented it. I doubt they actually spy on eachother so it is not copying here.
Sure you can. There is no valid reason for preventing a werewolf from eating it's dinner while sitting on a mount.
*Disbelieving*.. If you don't get that you never played AD&D.
No one is that stupid.
Only if you tie about the mount real good. I mean animals aren't stupis and wolfs make horses wish they were on a different continent.
And frankly does a wolf move longer than a horse on a day, so there really is no reason to use a mount. Maybe if it is a flying mount but if you want even a slight piece of logic that mount better be some kind of machine. It would be simpler to cast a flying spell on the wolf than to put it on a griffin.
I did a bit of research and, as near as I can tell, Worgens were first announced to run on all fours in september 2010...
Charr have been SHOWN to be running on all fours since august 2009 (the first video from Anet has a charr running on all fours and jumping).
13 months...that just speaks for its self...
Well, actually, WoW has other druid forms that run on all fours, so you know what? I think this thread is pointless(ly good at giving me a reason to post useless information).
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
Comparing Charr animations to Worgen isn't really fair...to Worgens. It's like comparing Picasso to some kid's 1st grade crayon project.

to the OP, ive played the worgen enough to say that worgen animation is not the same as that GW2 charr video shows...
