Wait, if this is the release of the remaster, then what did downloaded, played once and never touched again months ago?

Don't really care as the original is free now and works perfectly fine
Blizzard will probably find some way to fuck it up anyway

>>382284503

What exclusive content? Will the remaster have new content? Is it going to be more than just HD Starcraft?

so it's paid dlc

Yea exactly. They will push updates to both versions so you can play on either on the ladder.

>>382284503
I going to take a will guess an say that you played the original SC now in the battle.net launcher

Can't wait.

Warcraft remaster would've been alright.

>>382286338

>>382286462
Your point is so wrong. This is a HD version for modern computers. It's not a port in any way. It's also not a rehash, it's literally just a modern upgrade to an old game that didn't even have widescreen.

ports are from console -> PC or Pc -> console.
rehashes is Madden 2069

>>382286615
They have plans for both D2 and WC3. D2 is probably on the back burner because they are working on a new diablo project and still have the failure of D3 kicking along with DLC and semi success in asia.

I think you mean blew it up and then put a filter on it.

Why is this even a thing if you can just play the game for free anyway? I didn't even know there was a free version since I've had a pirated copy for like a decade and didn't need to care.

>>382287645
It's a new team inside blizz. Its' not existing burnt out metzen and co running it.

It has a chance, plus because it's people remastering old shit it's people who are more passionate about the old games naturally. Since they wont really get to do original design work like they would on a new project.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-stilwell-40557418

>>382287925
SC2 would have been dead regardless of the kespa shit. It just wasn't a very good RTS.

I've never played BW before, if I download this and play online will there be other beginners?

>>382288053
What if you bought it on bnet? Do you get HD free, or is it just too bad? Not bothered if the latter, I got my money's worth already, just curious.

>>382288327
No, play the campaign and wait for remaster to play online with matchmaking and a rush of noobs.


I would just learn to play and stuff now. The online will be better when the HD release hits.

>>382288401
Probably have to buy it again, I don't think there's a way for Blizzard to determine who had an original CD key and who bought off the b.net.

The only thing you're missing on this is just the prettier graphics, you can still play with people who own the remaster edition if you just have the free original game.

Fuck you. Last season of ASL Blizzard made people play in the newest patch in 2 days of matchs. Guess what? The games was a bug mess and most of the favorites players like Jaedong lost. After that they got back to the old patch. The shit part is that blizzard made they play in the newest patch after 2 groups already played in the old patch.

>>382287925
I actually liked SC2 more then BW, the story was shit but I had more fun in the campaign even though on brutal it was easy. Maybe its because I don't like playing strategy/micro games multiplayer

>>382289615
it actually looks good. wonder if they improved on what they were initially working on.

>>382286962
LAN tournaments, for starters.

Why would you host the match on blizzards servers far as fuck away, when you have servers at the venue.

>>382289615
>animated portraits

The only thing that had me a bit worried.

It's not perfect but things are looking pretty good.

>>382289813
Jaedong got fucked over but that was an issue of them switching versions mid tournament. When suddenly valks aren't bugged the meta changes a fuckton, so they should've stayed with one version.

The next one will use the remastered version if I remember correctly, and so long as there's no more ebin switches everything should be fine.

>>382284842

SC2 has a better campaign from a gameplay standpoint than BW, but the story is an anime style cringefest. Guaranteed if you have a friend that likes anime they'd think the SC2 story was good.

>>382290060
I like some anime and I thought the story was dogshit compared to the epic that is sc and bw. It really does play out like a Chinese blockbuster.

Are people really quibbling over $15 for a miniature expansion pack? I'd get the upset if the Necromancer were being sold for $40, as though Blizzard were trying to say it's just as valuable to the player as all the Reaper of Souls content, but they're not doing that. I'll freely concede that the Starcraft Remaster has more value (assuming the customer isn't some Diablo crackfiend who will be attempting higher greater rifts for hundreds of hours on one character), but it's not like the Necromancer Pack is expensive by any means. I think it's a solid price point for them both, considering they're comperable products. Maybe in an ideal world Necromancer Pack would be $10-12, but that extra $5 ain't exactly going to break the bank.

>>382283940
This entire situation is soo funny, that I'm shitting myself everytime when I see something related to SC Remaster. It's like "Ohh snap, we fucked up Starcraft 2 soo much, that we cant even do anything with it."

If Starcraft 2 is soo shitty and unbalanced right now, but Starcraft Brood War is soo godly balanced etc. then why they dont bring balance from BW to SC2? Does anyone in this fucking Blizzard HQ even think? It's like all this George Lucas shit when they do "The Phantom Menace" Epizode of Star Wars. Everything George Lucas invent was soo fucking shitty, soulless, stupid etc., but Hey! It's George Lucas, he cant be wrong, and we're well paid, soo why even bother.

ego of the leads/devs.

having too many cooks in the fucking kitchen.

in that order, really.
you have the egotistical people who want the project to be "their own" and not simply follow the footsteps of the previous creators, despite doing just that actually being the best course of action. copy/paste a games' lifetime of experience? no, i'm able to make better choices despite being completely new! (ego)

then you have the idiots who are probably in charge of the money, who absolutely want a return on their funding no matter what fuck you. these people will actually destroy dev teams mid-work and force broken shit out the door because MUH DEADLINES MUH SCHEDULE MUH CHRISTMAS SALES FIGURES

Then there's just too many fucking people working on the project trying to get their own shit into the final product. how many writers does it take to produce a functional script? count the fucking names.
if that number is higher than 2-3, it's shit by default until proven good.

It's mostly a reskin, everything else uses the underlying programming for complete multiplayer compatibility with non-remaster players, plus not messing around with the balance

Going by the history of SC1 and the fact that it's still alive after Actiblizz tried to kill it with SC2 you are completely and utterly mistaken.

Third party support is made and continues to make SC1 great. Blizzard made a masterpiece by accident, and SC2 proves they learned nothing.

>>382291361
Reminder that a big part of SC1's great balance is that the mapmaking has been perfected over a decade.

I remember how shit the SC2 maps were the first few seasons of the GSL before I dropped off. I have to how good they are now.

Just the typical response to anything Blizzard does these days.

So is BW going to be more popular than SC2? I haven't played since WoL and I want to get back into a popular strategy game, but I don't know what to play.

>>382293780
It will be absolutely identical to the original gameplay mechanics, which was demanded by the fans.

Because they lost the code it's a from the ground up remake but with 4k res spirites, more unit rotations, and widescreen support. There are options for certain fixes, but at the core the original game is designed to be intact. It's even going to be cross play with the original.

>>382293780

Fuck your utter bullshit. It wasn't "immersive" for being artifact-y as hell anymore then the graphics, that was just the absolute best they could do with general PC tech at the time. There was no artistic retro shit going on there, Blizzard was trying to be cutting edge (and succeeded) in their look and feel. We're not talking pixel art here. It makes no sense in universe that they'd be using that shit and it makes no sense not to remaster the audio too anymore then leaving the graphics. Upgrading that stuff is the entire fucking point of SC:R. You can literally go play the original, for free. Or route the audio through a filter system yourself and achieve any level of shitty AUDIOPHILE AUTHETNIC WARMNESS yourself.

>>382295631
>Makes sense early Terran campaign as you are on some backwater piece of shit planet.
No it doesn't. They have fucking power armor and orbital starships. Quality voice audio is a solved problem right now with a tiny fraction of that tech. Plus what about the zerg and protoss, do they run their telepathy through radio too? Fuck off.

>>382296053
Yeah, I listened to it. Basically sounds like a duller version of the original.

says they will even literally let you swap back and forth between original and new on the fly.

Plus you can just do the old school thing and swap around the actual sound files anyway. They'll just be sitting there on your drive, it's not like SC is dynamically generating this shit they're just playing them back. Back in the day that was the main way to mess with music/audio same as graphics. They'll probably just be a bunch of ogg files or something (since that is license free).

"We had no code and no art assets," Blizzard 3D Art Director Brian Sousa confirmed to Ars Technica. The 2017 project's entire art pipeline was "eyeballed," Sousa said, with recovered concept artwork, sketches, and original boxes and manuals used as reference materials. Not all code was missing, as Blizzard has been issuing patches to the original game's code base for nearly 20 years. Also, a member of the sound team thankfully had backups of the original sound and voice recordings, which are now reprocessed in higher-fidelity 44,100Hz format.

What are you fucking talking about? They've always had the actual core code source, that's how they made patches all those years. What they lost were most of the original assets, so they had to remake almost all the graphics from scratch. What they found more recently was audio, one of the original devs luckily happened to have copies of the originals in his garage that were still readable. So that's just been redone as 44.1 kHz.

>>382297403
>>382297526
They didn't have the complete game source until that idiot turned it in in May.

>>382297585
They didn't need it through either, they had enough (again, blizz has been actually patching and rebalancing SC all along). Getting the last little bits filled out was a nice bonus but it wasn't anything they couldn't recreate anyway easily enough.

The hard part was all those high res sprites and shit. Art assets from total scratch and making it match the old engine is a huge time suck.

Diablo was not about RMT

Gameplay is better on both SC2 and D3, but instead their story and narrative is shit.

When? The first month? If you played it competitively at all those were always highly important.

>>382296221
>There was no artistic retro shit going on there
Actually the game has a real low tech aesthetic for being in outer space. That's why a significant portion of the Terran forces are styled as backwater space cowboys/hicks/militias.

>Quality voice audio is a solved problem right now with a tiny fraction of that tech
Any form of interference or signal decay diminishes the quality. And why waste precious bandwidth on getting super crisp audio when it only needs to be understandable. Even today in war radio chatter is usually full of noise and low bitrate. That's what happens when you operate on the edge of your abilities and are trying to use bandwidth efficiently. Fuck you want to keep the signal as minimal as possible just to make it harder to be detected and tracked. And that's not even talking about radio jamming and overlapping signals.

>Plus what about the zerg and protoss
You don't hear the zerg's telepathic signals, just the various animal/monster squelches they make. Protoss is the one race where crystal clear audio would make sense.

This is debated, though.
I've noticed a lot of complaints about SC2 being full of hard counters.

And D3 just spoils the player senselessly. It's a walk in the park in terms of difficulty, and rare items are everywhere.

>>382296616
>faithful
>accurately

They're cramming SC2 style shit in there, and that's after trying to straight up kill BW with SC2. BW was and still is great and that's without the remaster or Blizzard support. This is just them trying to cash in and with back the fans they lost now that they realize SC2 is dying, and yet they're still too arrogant not try and force some of the SC2 aesthetic on SC1.

You can't treat fans the way they have and expect them to welcome you with open arms. Everyone who cared back then and kept BW alive are still wary of the shit Blizz pulled in the past.

BW is way more fluid and fast compared to SC2.

>>382300274
in what way? no it's not. lol. if you mean you need to do stuff faster, yeah. but in SC2 every thing is faster and more fluid like the movement of units and mechanics of the game.

>>382300692
Things in sc2 are more streamlined yes, but because of how the game is designed it leads to a lot more things like mass unit battles and death balls dancing around each other whereas in BW skirmishes happen all over the place, action is a lot more erratic because of everything else that needs players attention, things that SC2 automated or simplified. On top of this they chose not to include very high skill, high variance units in the game like reavers and vultures, normalized things like movement ai so nuances like dragoon ai being retarded which balances the unit, and stacking mutas. Basically a lot of the changes from BW to SC2 streamlined gameplay, and removed a lot of the quirks that made the game so good, which homogenized gameplay overall.

Will it be a remaster like Crash or just you regular boring remaster?

"Blizzard Classic already announced that StarCraft Remastered will include a "make game look old" button, which I tested roughly every 20 seconds in my session. The default key binding, F5, will switch the game's graphics from new to old and back again at any time. What Blizzard hadn't made clear until this week's event is that there's another on-the-fly visual toggle, currently mapped to F7: a combination of real-time lighting and environmental effects."

>>382297767

They hired their competitors

f7 - real time lighting and environmental effects

Explosions light up units around the boom with this effect and the units have more of a 3d effect. This is brand new news and wasn't talked about before. Basically they have been showing us a toned down version of the real highest level graphical options, optional though.

You can also press a key to turn every sprite back into low rez originals on the fly.

Another new option not talked about before

more angles, units can now visually show a wider array of angles so they shoot where they are looking. Optional and graphical only.

I still hate Jim's redone portrait other than that the rest should be tolerable. I really want to see what they did to the cutscene when Tassadar crashes the Gantrithor into the Overmind. The remixes of the OST are shit, I expected better.

>>382307015
SC2 has a lot more units, and blizzard themselves have said that they are taking a really slow approach to balancing because they want to create a stable enviroment and go into maintenance mode

>>382307015
SC:BW balances itself because it's so much gookclick skill. A single lurker drop can kill every worker, a single DT drop can kill every drone. The way the game functions makes it balanced, not the actual unit balance.

If you had SC2 style controls in broodwar it would be broken shit. The thing is the game is so difficult to play it becomes more about skill than the races. The balance is still T>Z>P though.
