How fucking cancerous. People are going to pay full price for this, then pay for "skins" in game, plus emjois and sprays and shit. I fucking hate these millenial "gamers"

>it's real
Fucking hell. This is getting out of hand.

>>382431605
millenials are 1980s - 1995. this site is mostly gen z.

I remember when you could unlock pallette swaps. It's crazy they make you pay for it.

>>382430753
What did you expect?
They know their old games are more popular but they can't milk them. That's why they bother with remasters in the first place

It's only that one skin per race, cosmetic only, the Remaster only costs £13 anyway (only £3 more than the game was previously, and original Brood War is now free and completely playable (and icCup is still going).
If you don't want it, don't pre-order. If there is no indication the game will have SCII-style micro transactions (which it won't), why do you care?

Next would probably be paid custom maps, fully compatible with the new battlenet.

Does the Remaster even have LAN support?

>>382431839
This is their only remaster though?
They still sell their old titles, but not milk them. Extremely classic games aren't even available.

>>382431858
Oh please. Blizzard has microtransactions loaded in every one of its games, and this will be no different.

>>382431984
Yes.
Under the hood the game is almost identical. To the extent that you must have Vanilla StarCraft + BW installed to play it.

>>382431858
Sc2 had microtransactions? Stopped playing shortly before the zerg campaign released so I may have never seen it.

>>382431572
Yes exactly. I'm glad we agree.

>>382431572
I hate this fucking argument, they can't get away with pretty much anything just because it's cosmetics.

That's why every online game now has loot boxes, and it got to a point when it's not only cosmetics anymore, like in Battlefront 2, and people still defend it, they say shit like "it's not p2w, it's just a shortcut to progress faster!".

>>382431992
Aren't D2 and WC3 getting remasters as well?

>>382431984
>Next would probably be paid custom maps, fully compatible with the new battlenet.
The actually had this planned originally with SC2. The only reason they didn't do this is because they fucked up so hard with the editor and the hosting system that nobody bothered making maps at all.

So because it's old it should be free?

Depends how many good blizzdrones buy the cosmetics in SC Remastered

>>382431994
How do non game play affecting cosmetics ruin your experience? Sounds like you hate these transactions because you have a gambling problem and can't help but lose mommy's savings on Blizz items.

The nexus, hive and commander skin is given to you for buying the game, you would have had to shell out cash for the remaster anyway.

So you can't unlock skins and can't feel a sense of progression? Is that what the main gripe is? This isn't LoL, the sense of progression is actually getting better in the game and climbing ranks - that is the essence of SC.

What happened to this board?

>>382431994
The dimensions and artwork of the units is in some cases closely tied to balance, so I doubt they would try to cram in more skins to the detriment of the balancing act that is old BW.

If you go to the Classic forum it looks like the classic game team actually give a shit about this one.

>>382431572
Amazing how fast we went from being outraged over horse armor to people genuinely arguing LoL's champion unlock system isn't pay to win.

NeoBlizzard is in itself a red flag for "we will add microtransactions".

dont try to blame this on activision, blizzard is scummy enough alone.

>>382430753
But they made SC and Broodwar completely free.

>>382432246
Because they're selling the game. Selling cosmetics would be fine it was F2P

>>382432282
Giving a shit is no synonym with being competent, HoTS devs clearly care about the game but it's still shit because they don't know how to balance so save their careers.

>overreacting to a $15 remaster because they're adding something to incentive a purchase

I hope it does well so we get Diablo 2 remaster and Warcraft 3 remaster also.

>>382432246
A voice of reason at last.

If the game retains all its functionality without the skins, then it isn't an issue. Neither me or my friends care about skins, especially in games like Over watch, and don't consider this an issue.

Must be the case, then, that the people who moan and complain about cosmetics are the ones who are most likely to buy them.

>>382432336
>>382432329

You receive the skin for buying the game. Use that low IQ of yours to figure that out.

Even if they added more skins to the game for purchase, it wouldn't affect the base game.

They're making money off of people who have spending issues or just want to splurge without affecting people who just want to play the game - what exactly is your principled philosophical position on it? That companies shouldn't make money or change up business practices? There's an argument to be made if they started Jewing out and restricted gameplay features behind paywalls, but that isn't the case here.

You are paying for the remastered models, and functioning auto-matchmaking and leaderboards.

I think they've learned with HotS that not their every project can be a success. They don't care though, they only do it for Koreans, that's why they enabled FISH (but not iCCup) with their newest patch and that's why they've announced it in Korea to begin with.

Achtually in a sprite based game like BW it can actually deeply affect the gameplay.

Besides that because it's a skin not a mod, whenever you are in a match against someone with a retarded skin you just can't disable it.

Lastly they are milking a two decades old game, literally raping it's bones.

din't they released the remastered version for free?
the one with new resolutions (wide screens), run on newer windows, and HD textures.

>>382433906
Consider this: in the pro scene, they got upset at an update that made it so shadows of units didn't merge, it was a flat shadow.

This may seem small, but this actually affected how they strategized, allowing them to count units in a space. Something like a color change can lead to other implications. They alter the rate at which you absorb information about the match, and in high level SC, this can be the difference between life and death.

>>382434093
>din't they released the remastered version for free?
No they didn't, they made the SC original free with their newest patch
They also wanted to fix some bugs but decided not to

>>382433906
But the clickable area will vary depending on the skin used. A skin which is pixels smaller is an advantage on the autism that is competitive rts play.

>>382432831

Pro scene can have their own rules set, like they always do. I think CSGO is the only exception where they can play with skins, most other games that have comestics usually have a strict rules against using them during tournaments for consistency

>>382433951
>How is making a gold Command Center "raping it's bones"?
Doesn't fit the storyline, has no reason to exist, isn't even based around a personal achievement. It's just more of the skin insanity that has creeped it's way into every game.

If a game should have a pre-order, some small cosmetic is the best way to do it. It's not like this cosmetic is somehow a deciding factor for people that didn't know if they wanted the game.

Having source code literally would do nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Because it is a sprite based game the target changes with the sprite size, unless those were literal recolors, which they aren't already, the target size changes.

>>382436096

While I don't know if it's the case in BW because I'm not a rampaging autist who throws a shitfit over the tiniest details, many RTSes have collision and selection areas entirely independent of the actual appearance of the units and buildings.

>>382436692
you seem really accusatory, i wasn't even the guy you were talking to before, i just responded to your saying that having source would change nothing
right now you can pretty easily mod anything in an mpq, stuff like sprites, unit properties like attack and hp and other things, ai scripts, lots of stuff. however, you can't really change the way the game engine itself works, which is what having source would make much easier.

Clearly, the SC pros are apparently some incompetent monkeys. The fuckhuge buildings which have been recolored will completely ruin them and dismantle any understanding of the game they ever had.

>>382436984
there is literally mod to move units under/on water and having water structures.
I still don't believe source code is a big deal

>>382437235
>>382433791
>>382433906
considering that original starcraft will be online-compatible with sc:r, i'm assuming that skins will either be disable-able or you'll just be able to play original starcraft and not see them

>Clearly, the SC pros are apparently some incompetent monkeys.
Or they will take any advantage they can get. The actions are counted in milliseconds for a reason.

From a gameplay perspective it's shitty, from a business perspective it's rape.

The game's fucking cheap and you know exactly what you're going to get.
What's the problem mate?

>>382437420
Any 'pro' who can't deal with a change in graphics isn't going to be playing SC:R anyway. Because, y'know, changing the graphics is literally what it does.

>>382437420
Oh yeah, I'm sure their play is going to be heavily effected, now they will no longer be able to understand what the big building in the middle of the base which is getting resources from workers is. It will probably take them entire milliseconds to realize that the glowing Zerg building with the exact profile of a Hive is not, in fact, a Protoss Fleet Beacon or Terran Starport. This could even decide games, what if a pro believes the central building in a Zerg's base is in fact a second Spawning Pool rather than a Hive? I'm sure that could happen.

>>382437372
that's not a really big change, though, it's just a matter of modifying unit properties. units that can exist over water are already a thing in the game so they don't really need to code anything new in for that to happen.
idk how big of a deal it would really be and i'm not sperging out at the guy who turned in the disc like some people, but i'm sure it would make certain kinds of changes and especially certain kinds of additions easier. for instance, if you wanted to add a new type of terrain like lava that damages units that pass over it or maybe add destructible terrain or something, you could implement it a lot more easily if you had access to the source. it's probably possible without the source, but the difficulty is going to be at least an order of magnitude higher.

Yes yes, the sprite size. The sprite size. It'll make pros unable to recognize a Command Center near some minerals, I mean it's in the center of a base right near the resources and SCVs are bringing minerals and gas to it, but for a split millisecond they could believe it's a Barracks, Academy or even a Missile Turret. What if a Zerg pro thinks it's a Missile Turret and avoids it with his Mutas for a split-millisecond? They won't know what it is. All because of the fucking sprite size.

It's amazing how every time there's a major blizzard release you fucking shills come along like flies being promised shit. Not even the guy you were talking to, you're just disgusting selling your integrity like that.

The Protoss are slightly underpowered in BW right? What would fix them? Making scouts slightly less shit?

>>382440136
they're incredibly powerful at lower skill levels. Tbh terrans should be rewarded for sticking to the hardest race until you get good, at which point you dominate both zerg and protoss.

>>382439819
You don't increase the risk of a misclick by changing some colors and adding sparkles on top of the already existing building, my friend of low intellectual capacity. The profile and shape of the building is the same, so it won't affect shit, this if the engine even registers your clicks based on the actual visible sprite and not a separately-defined bounding box, which would make much more sense as it's easier, more consistent and faster to check.

>>382440275

I thought Terrans and Zerg were equal at high level play.

>>382440305
>You don't increase the risk of a misclick by changing some colors and adding sparkles on top of the already existing building

Note that you should compare with the remastered sprites, not the originals. I mean those skins are definitely from RM and not the original version. All the RM shit has minute differences compared to the originals in the first place, other than the Command Center being flipped, seems retarded/pointless if it's going to be like that in-game for real, they seem to have the same profiles.

Why are you so particularly asshurt about these 3 preorder building skins but you're not asshurt about shitloads of units (all of them?) in the RM version actually looking slightly different compared to the originals?

Either spend $15 for the game and some skins or spend $15 for the game and no extras. Or don't buy the game at all.

Who is this hurting?

AND THE ANTHOLOGY IS FREE NOW AND THE VERSIONS ARE EVEN COMPATIBLE

I think it's good that they are doing this. If BW can turn a profit for them all over again, then there's reason for them to promote the competitive scene for it.

I think there's a social stigma behind. Sure in TF2 it ruins the original art design but I think the main focus is that it ruins the feela nd purpose of the game.

How does a pre-order skin of a game you understand to be 1:1 SC1 affect the core product?

Evolve is a different story, or any other game with features locked behind pay walls, or is a drastically worse game than previews allow.

/v/ is now so filled with /pol/acks and idiots that seeing cosmetic items is a reason to trash the game - no brain cells utilized.

The best threads here are ones about fucking animals.

How do preorder bonuses make a game better? Preordering only make sense when you want to reserve something with limited stock. Applied to video games is pure cancer (unless you are preordering some physical limited edition or something like that).

You are either a shill or retarded and disgust me.

>>382453504
you just know

Your not a true Starcraft fan unless you preorder :). I'm very excited for this game and can't wait to replay all the fun campaign missions in hd and see the pros kicking ass with the new sprites. And not a shill, I've enjoyed Starcraft since I was a kid and don't see any issue with the preorder bonus. If you come into these threads just to grope and complain mabey you should just kill yourself?

>Most pc fags are also poorfags on this boardthat pirate everything, that's why they get so mad at blizzard
Always makes me laugh when some console peasant is bragging about someone being poor with PC while a single decent GPU costs more than your garbage station 4 with a couple of games it has.

>>382454486
Most of the time is just shitposting, "LMAO you can't buy premium shit!!", just ignore them, you dweeb.

How does it make it worse?
You can forget it exists and still get the same game

>>382454486
And yet most pc users are third world subhumans with completely shitty computers.

>>382454689
I didn't saw they make them worse, don't switch the question on me.

Now, explain "us", the consumers, why the preorder bonuses of digital products are good for us and not just jew tricks for gullible idiots.

I thought SC:Remaster would be free ? - guess i was wrong.

Brood war was shit it only got popular because some autistic south korean neets saw it as a ticket to stardom, I really don't understand the hype behind this remaster.

Also they haven't even shown the true highest graphic settings in the game. based on whichever sprites are currently live: a depth map, a brightness map, an emissive map (solely for "glowing" objects), a normal map, a specular map, and an ambient occlusion bake
- "2.5d" graphics setting with dynamic lighting
- more angles on all the unit graphics, meaning vultures, goliaths, etc will "turn" in a smooth way instead of sliding at weird angles.
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."
Turning this on adds seven graphical passes on top of the engine, based on whichever sprites are currently live: a depth map, a brightness map, an emissive map (solely for "glowing" objects), a normal map, a specular map, and an ambient occlusion bake. Toggling these adds a little bit of GPU overhead, as do optional lighting maps on pools and "heat waves" on lava. The result won't make you believe you've gotten a truly realistic coat of paint, but it does help the older-engine medicine go down a little smoother. "It gives this 2.5-D feel," Sousa says.

The base game IS free.

The only thing costing money here are the upscaled sprites for 4K support.

I looked it up. Farmville never charged you for building reskins.

Shame on you, Blizzard. CDPR is the West's last hope.

>what's the problem?

The game looks like dogshit like your face

But I guess if I saw dogshit in the mirror every day I would think it's normal too

someone needs to post the pic that shows the real blizzard died a long, long time ago

>>382454905
let's stick to this specific case
it adds some value to those who want to pre-order

So everyone is pissed becasue they think blizzard will put more skins in the game? Th-they wouldn't do something like that!

Ah yes, the slippery slope where Q4 2018 sees the Rainbow Reaver skin for $49.99 + tax + tip.

>>382457283
I'd buy a rainbow reaver
