StarCraft: Remastered Souns

the terran song sounds like fucking shit

Worse than original

>>376817621
I agree, that guitar is just drowning out the actual tune

>>376817621

the riffs are way to strong in the terran, there is the "jingle" in it that is drowned, the actual track isn't "BRR BRRR BRRR BRRR"

>>376817621
Original for comparison.

They goofed, they goofed hard.

The synth was clearly the driving force behind the melodical structure of this piece, but the drums and the guitars are just too loud in the remastered version.

>>376817621
It's layered like ass. Very poor choices.

what the fuck is that brass?

I don't mind the violin added, but it sounds like they ripped this version from the Heroes of the Storm rendition of these tracks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZMGXUk23CY

are you guys ready for Piglord vs Shine tomorrow?

Why does it sound like half the song is playing the background

>>376818847

Because it does

It lacks the oomph of the original. What a shame.

>>376817621
meh

It's like one of those random remixes you can find on youtube

it's nice to hear the song in an alternate way, but it's not really better

>>376817621
I mean the original sounds like it was using only electronic synths and the new one sounds like they got live instruments together and recorded the synths.

Hopefully we have the option to switch between soundtracks or can overwrite the files.

>>376819817
raynor probably. pretty good

>>376819692
>>376819817
I am unsure, they seem to be concept art for their portraits, they haven't yet said wether or not they would attempt to animate the portraits or just try to upscale the originals with some magic voodoo or some shit.

>>376819817
Looks like Raynor with short hair like he had in SC1. What's the problem?

>>376820305
Sounds like a live band recording that isn't mixed too well vs a tight electronic recording of the original

I like the second half of the song but the first halfs great parts are lacking in this, and yea the guitar is pretty shit.

>>376820294


Well no shit they're going to make it more similar to the way he looks in SC2

Did you think they're leave it inconsistent?

>>376817621
The entirety of that project is a mess though.

>>376820294
They changed all the portraits.

It's a travesty.

Let's all thank our lord and savior for giving it back to Blizz so that they can continue pulling shit like >>376819817 and >>376817621 instead of fans making a proper version for free that will get support for decades.

>>376817621
So do they have the master recordings of the original tracks or not?

Sounds like a generic cover now.

>>376820986
OpenBW seems to be fully compatible with replays already so presumably it's an essentially complete implementations of mechanics, since otherwise it'd desync

All of it has been visibly remade rather than remastered.

>>376821554
Sorry anon, look who uploaded it

>>376821831

In SC 1 I always imagined him as some average skinnyfat grunt that accidentally got caught in drama, but SC2 made him as this perfect guy with too much jaw and chad hair and muscles

>>376817621

It sounds like SC2 shit. If I wanted that plastic fake shit I'd play that instead of brood war.

I miss the ol' backwater Marshall

And based on that portrait art I really hope they don't go for the SC2 aesthetics. I fucking love the marines' power armor in SC:BW. Looks like repurposed astronaut suits.

>>376822386
I swear to christ they better not replace his VA. His Heroes of the Storm VA is god-awful

>>376822063
Jimmy was just a backwater Marshall that defied Dominion orders to save a town and got caught up with revolutionaries and eventually the Protoss.

Pretty wild ride for a regular dude.

>>376822063

That was his entire point in SC1. He was literally just some random cop who caught up in the whole rebellion and interstellar war between ayylmaos bullshit and tried to make the best of it.

In SC2 they made him terran thrall, some kind of messianistic fuck who cant do wrong and here to redeem mankind. His hots voicelines are the worst, they tried to make him likeable so hard its cringeworthy and failed on all levels, he comes off as a preternatural slimy douchebag.

>>376822386
So the brown thing in his head wasn't a protoss tiara?

>>376822631

Blizzard completely blew the entire protoss aesthetic and voices in SC2 so no wonder their bullshit is seeping into the remake too.

>>376817621
so can you play with the original OST or fuckin what cuz all i need is the nicer unit sprites

>>376822386

He looks bored

Did they redo the music or just enhance it somehow? Is radiofreezerg remastered too?

>>376823419
They haven't remastered everything, but it seems that the ones they used in hots for the terran themes are what they went for

I sill don't get why they hate the original synth music so much.

They've done this with the remastered tracks for SC2, they've done it in HotS and now they're doing it here.
At least most of the stuff they're doing isn't this controversial.

it's shit. the synth and actual melody has no impact and has been relegated to the backburner for the guitar/strings, which admittedly doesn't sound bad, but takes away from the original heart of the piece.

>>376826626
The music IS bad though.

Post that shit to /mu/ and see what they will think about that.

>>376827296

/mu/ is no less musically inept than the rest of the general population, they're just more pretentious about their shitty opinions. It takes actual musical understanding to appreciate guitar work like that guy's.

That said, /mu/ would love that remix if it was posted inconspicuously. Because due to aforementioned ineptness at music, the quality of the music isn't what matters to them - only how much it looks like the artist is a "sell-out". And you get maximum sellout points by looking like you're trying to shill some random youtuber.

I shouldn't have taken you seriously.

>>376817621
Why can't they just use the original music and make it more clear sounding or whatever? It really lacks the oomph that the original had.

>>376828742
the lo-fi of the original is what gives it the oomph

>>376828742
When music remasters happen, they usually remake the soundtrack from scratch following the original soundtrack, and they are using high quality sounds for the new songs, hence it sounds too clear and not similar enough to the old ost.

>>376828742
The original was an accident of sorts.
They made a track and recorded it, got it to a point it sounded "good enough" and shipped it.
Today, they are swimming in dosh and modern tech, they can make the tract perfect as it was designed back then but as it turns out, the original idea was worse than the final, crippled result.

What the fuck is wrong with Blizzard's artists?

I was gonna call you out on csaying Jimmy looked sort of black but he kinda does in that pic. That darkness is too much for just shading to be the case and it's kind of gay as fuck.

It is however hardcore RTS gamers and while this kind of move wont kill the game it sure as shit is a badly attempted trick to 'le ekspand le audiuns'.
