Damn i wish i could fucking hear the voices

god damn i havent played star craft in forever. the sounds alone from OPs video took me straight back to middle school and made me nostalgic as fuck.

what are they charging for the remaster? i might have to buy it if they arent asking a ridiculous price.

>>385536598

They got the siege tank voice wrong. That's Duke, not the siege guy

Any ladder games? Or more gameplay vids?

>>385539260
in about 15 hrs a big event starts. A bunch of big name players throughout history will be playing showmatches on twitch starcraft channel.

Those matches will all be in SC:remastered casted by tastosis. After that a countdown starts and PCbangs in Korea get access to remastered.

So basically tonight/early morning there are tons of remastered showmatches followed by korea getting the game.

In other news, ONGAMENET is bringing back the OSL.

What are the gameplay implications?

>>385534981
I have to admit that I never really understood that portrait for the High Templar either. They are supposed to be elite, psionic warriors and masters of the Khala, right? So why is their portrait shrouded in darkness? If Dark Templar are associated with the dark, then you'd think High Templar would be associated with light, especially with their "lightning" abilities.

what stream is this going to be on? Haven't watched starcraft in forever

>>385542686
Probably on Twitch

Just browse games for Starcraft Remaster and it should be easy to find tomorrow.

>>385542686
"starcraft" twitch channel, you can just check twitch front page, /v/ or anywhere else when it's live and there will be links

>>385542547
their like creepy alien wizards with mind melting abilities that self-destruct in order to create psionic abominations.

>>385534981
They didn't ruin them.

They are trying to bridge the gap between designs from the 90s and 2010s.

There were lots of instances in SC1 where the concept art doesn't actually match the portraits (3D art).

Are protoss still written that if you're close to dying you're teleported from the battlefield in blue fire?

>>385534258
The Medic is lacking something, but don't really know what.

>>385534258
Why is the seige tank unit voiced by that NPC general whats-his-name that Kerrigan killed in the Brood War campaign?

>>385543573
I think it was datamined assets so they mismatched em

>>385543478
most times blizz has shown the medic she's had an oversized helmet, though the original SC1 portrait only had the raised visor visible so it wasn't clear exactly. the remastered version looks a lot smaller

The interesting thing about these new portraits is that they bring out details in the original portrait that you didn't realize back in the day due to the low resolution and and pixelated look.

For the medic, the new portrait shows that her top visor is transparent, which reveals that she's wearing scrubs on the top of her head. I never noticed that his was even a detail in the old sprite until I went and pulled this picture to reply to your post.

>>385534981
You're right. They should patch this and add more shadows to portraits. They ruined the defiler too. Black shadows are great because they add some senes of mystery.

>>385547709
The size of the portraits is a small box onscreen. Those are the 4k resolution ones with bad FPS capture. In game it will look 20x better.

Look at the screenshot. See how big the portraits are. In game the portraits will look amazingly detailed especially on a 4k monitor. There are also new lighting/shader passes you can turn on as an option which make it 2.5D. Like explosions will make nearby units glow and protoss blades for instance will have glow effects. all optional.

Wait for tonight's showmatches

>>385548512
I think it's a mass click reaction. Meaning you have to click it a lot and then it winks. So not something you see constantly.

Here is a before/after portrait video so you can see the incredible increase in detail.

>>385541040
they do (and they have recently) but I think they've had that right ever since that lawsuit in 2011 when they actively tried to kill BW in favor of SC2. they've relaxed a little recently and obviously they want the remaster to be a success so I hope they'll relax their advanced jewry

>>385549349
$15 too

Can't wait for D2 and WC3 to get remasters with this quality level

>>385549451
the sales of remaster will show that SC2 is dead and shit. Hopefully they fire all the designers and balance devs who worked on it.

>>385548840
Overall they look good, I give it an 7/10. You have to admit though, they completely changed the zergling portrait, it looks nothing like the original at all.

>dat mutalisk

>>385534981
I think it partially has to do with Blizzard integrating their SC2 style with SC1. What we see here is something inbetween. For some designs you can obviously tell they didn't stay true to the source material. The only time I really prefer the SC2 look is with infected kerrigan. The cloud strife hair wasn't doing it for me in the past.

>>385539804

Why is it that they always lose the feel of it on the way? This happened with almost all remakes, pic related is another example. They just look uninspired and bland, do they not have an art director? Art direction and composition is just fucked.

The best comparison of the feel these remakes always give off are those UE4/Unity fan remakes of old PS1/N64 era games. The technical aspect might be all there, but the art direction just isn't. The end result is inferior to the original, because ultimately what really matters is the art direction.

I thought the science guy had a part of his face completely missing and replaced with three rods that at their end reach the natural level of the face, rather than this metal mask bit.

>>385552519
they've done a really good job. You can disable/customize options too. In fact you can press a button and it instantly switches to old SC graphics.

>>385553541
look at a screenshot of how big these portraits are in game
>>385548562

When actually in proper size they will look perfect.

>>385551243
Same reason they don't understand the importance of art style as a whole, or story for that matter. Funny how 64x64 talking heads in SC1 made for a much more compelling story than the super high detail CGI with expensive voice actors of SC2.

>>385553738
The actual look is completely off, everything has that semi-cartoony look of SC2 that sucks ass. See >>385538241, they just look so goddamn generic. Them being small won't change that.

Why can't they just have a toggle to use portraits used with the old models? Just recapture the animations in higher resolution without touching ANYTHING else, just higher res capture of the frames.

>>385534258

Most of the portraits look fine imo, but the terran Ghost/zergling/most Protoss/Hero units are distinctly changed and sc2-ified. Generic terran units and zerg look okay.

Oh shit my eyes are getting bleached

>>385548840
>>385555250
Most of them are impressively good. The only ones I'd bitch about are the High Templar (his face isn't completely concealed by shadows), the Medic (I will miss the Latino here), Jim Raynor's Armor not being black, Zeratul's lack of his headband diamond (in the end they want to make it compatible with SCII so who didn't expect that?) and Raszagal looking too pimp and clean compared to her original version.

I don't like the dragoon though, the blurry low quality feed really gives out a feel to it.

>>385559339
He never had them, I think it's just to get you thinking that he's not "normal" in the Zerg campaign.

>>385559895

The SC1 portrait seems to give his eyes a yellow tint, but maybe it was just the lighting.

The unit sprites seem fine. But I don't like the portraits. Suddenly everyone is a fucking model tier.

Protoss in general is the weak link. All the remastered portraits look quite similar to one another, where the original aggressively used lighting to make them distinct. Like, for what reason did they dramatically change the colour of the lighting for the zealout, scout and carrier?
Also gotta say I never noticed the Dark Archon was wearing a hood in the original.

>>385562918
I mean they could always just have duke as a legendary skin, there are skins that change voices or completely change how the hero even looks like samuro monkey skin.

Also it's weird to think of duke as a siege tank when you only see that in extra campaign stuff and not the main one, for most people duke is "that prick in the battlecruiser."

>>385534258

>Artanis still has his nerve cords cut.

You would think they'd fix that

>>385564592
He had them short in Brood War, actually. You can see it in his original portrait and the cutscenes, even. Unless I'm misremembering.

>>385564328
duke is killed in his tank.

They're adding in new plot points via comics right? What are they'll give the episode 4 executor an identity? I doubt it's Selendis since she and Raynor act like they never met before in WoL.

>>385548840
Nu Kerrigan looks like shit

>>385564328

Wasn't Duke in his siege tank when you first met him face to face? My memory is quite hazy on the campaign.

>>385559862
I think that applies more to the archons. Should have made them hazier.

>>385565164
he is a BC until the last bit of brood war

>>385565164

He has a hero seige tank programmed into the game but it went unused. He's always in a battle cruiser.

>>385565038
>>duke is killed in his tank.
Duke is killed in his battlecruiser, i distintcly remember because that was the one and only time i built scourges in the game.

>>385565164
When you meet him face to face you do in the norad 2, the downed battlecruiser, you may be thinking of the extra campaign blizzard did, forgot the name, it had jimmy and duke working together

Any word if the remaster will have the Stukov triolgy built into the game?

>>385565229

Thanks for clearing that up.

>>385565385

I only remember Duke was in a BC in the final mission because I don't remember using spawn broodling on him like I did Fenix.

>>385564328
Duke was supposed to be in a tank for a mission that got deleted. It was also the mission where you first met Tassadar

It's hilarious how they give a direct comparison just to show how lazy and shitty of a job they did on nearly every portrait remaster. They ruined the art style on every single one of them. The protoss have it the worst by far. The ghost is the most butchered.

The best option for this remaster would be original portraits + remastered graphics.

>>385548840
I don't like Kerrigan's new constantly pissed off expression

In SC1 she's pretty easygoing for a Ghost until everything went south, which made her infested form that much more horrifying

>>385565806
i like it a lot, i've heard the SC1 terran time a thousand times already so having a new interpretation is refreshing.

Hell, that's my attitude to the whole remaster. I GET why people are pissy at the changes but i find it great it is even getting touched up to begin with. Nostalgia fagging will always ruin everyone's perception and expectations, if you get into the remaster with the mentality of "i have the original right there, just by pressing a button" it will be a lot easier.

Also it actually has a cost so anyone that's just annoyed at it just saved like 15 bucks, everyone wins.

>>385569509
Where the fuck did her braids go?

With the shit Kerrigan went through she has good reasons to be on bitch mode 24/7.

The goofy portraits were better than this edgy shit (blatant in Terran). Kerrigan is fucking ruined too in both forms. At least most zergs look decent, except the fucking zergling.

Crazy how the protoss lost all unique features. You couldnt even tell them apart if they mixed the portraits up.

>>385577401
Yeah. For some reason they were able to keep Tassadar's unique features, but you're mostly right about the others.

Going back over the old portraits again, Artanis really looked like a young, fresh-faced Protoss. Now, he looks just like all of the others. Fenix had a unique look as well, but it didn't transfer over

So did they fix 1.19 or is it still shit?

And I'm just bored now. I hate the gold/blue bullshit they throw on the protoss now.

Nearly two decades of Starcraft, and it wasn't until the remastered that I noticed that the cerebrates always had a transparent outer casing. Fucking hell, how did I miss that?

>>385578323
I only just recently noticed the large red bulbs on a drone are actually its eyes.

>>385578323
Because the original portraits were shit

>>385578674

I like the original portraits and all, but I do have to admit that it was hard to tell what I was looking at a lot of the time. I STILL don't know what the fuck the ultralisk portrait is supposed to be. I mean, I know that it's his face, but it looks completely different compared to the in-game sprite. Also didn't notice until now that the dark archon wore a hood.

>>385577401
I guess they did it on purpose so they look more like a unified race? I liked the variability of their skull shapes in the older portraits though.

>>385578674
They weren't "shit," they were tiny, pixelated, and animated slowly, so a lot of the details didn't necessarily come across clearly.

Look at how many people interpreted the original portraits differently. It's only now that we have the HD Remaster versions that people are learning details of these old models for the first time in like 20 years. It's interesting how much our minds and imaginations filled in details and interpreted those old portraits. In a way, that's part of their charm

>>385548840

>>385542547
and I still don't understand why the HT portrait was so dark to begin with.

>>385548840
>Lets make everything glow, look really cartoony and then slap as much bloom as we can on it, haha!

Most of these are awful. Where the fuck is Twincruiser and Sam to sort this out?

>>385579290
>and I still don't understand why the HT portrait was so dark to begin with.

My guess is they wanted to make the protoss seem scary and mysterious, which is why they made the HT portrait dark. I honestly think it works, as I wasn't a fan of how overly bright the SC2 protoss were.

That being said, I don't mind what they're doing with the remastered portraits. The HT/ghost portraits are still dark, but they aren't as pitch-black as the originals were, so you can at least see more detail.

Honestly I don't think they're bad but they removed what I really loved about Starcraft: the grit. In a medium overpopulated by sterile future aesthetic (sans Warhammer) Starcraft felt so dirty in a believable way. The marine armor looked like a retrofitted spacesuit, the vultures were punk ass bikers who joined a colonial militia. Just stuff like that.

>>385552519
I know next to nothing about the abe games but they had a lot of black shadows right? Starcraft is the same way.

So back then they didn't understand what ambient lighting was, and so a lot of shadows were just pitch black. It gave everything a gritty look, like a noir film, it's a nice contrast between dark and light areas, and the blackness functions as a negative space.

Of course new artists who don't know a fucking thing have fancy lighting toys to play with and just do what lets your see more when seeing more is not better. Half of a powerful image is what you don't see.

>>385559029
Literally anyone with an image processor and 60 seconds produces a better result.

But what's retarded is this green light. There shouldn't be any of it, except maybe in his fogged breath because that's actually in front of his goggles. Everything should be top lit by white light like the old portrait.

>>385575008
I don't know this but if they weren't retarded they should've made it where you can have 16:9 viewport with a 4:3 hud. Player face cams could go on the bottom left and right

I don't get the vulture change either, in the original portrait you could clearly see he was adjusting a pair of glasses and not pressing a button. I'll give the SCV a pass just because you can see the snot coming out of his nose when he picks it

I feel like this picture is a perfect representation of what's wrong with SC2 portraits.

Unit model looks like shit. No dynamic angle to make it look stand out. No attempt to create any interesting lighting or shading to give it atmosphere. It's literally just a bald guy with goggles in a suit with no attempt to give the image any life. SC:Remastered portraits look better purely by virtue of being based on the originals which had some actual effort put into them.

While it is a little too "future-tech" for a marine, I liked the idea of the hologram on the cheek acting like a dogtag/showing medical information. But then again in the old SC1 armor (which I'm pissed they're not using) sometimes it said their blood type on the top of the head.

I dunno, I kind of like the idea that the Marines need that much tech just to be able to survive (not for long) on the battlefield against Zealots and Zerglings.

Remember when this was just supposed to be a regular marine instead of Tychus?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZd9n373vf4

It was hype that all of that effort and tech went into a tiny, expendable 50 mineral unit.

>>385590340
I do love the SC2 marine look, but I can't help but feel like a lot of character was lost. Not to mention I hate the idea of tons of heavy machinery being required to suit up, it doesn't make any sense for smaller outfits and militias.

>>385590340
It goes against the design thought process of the terrans, shitty and run-down and industrial. Marines are supposed to be the ultimate cannon fodder, criminals that nobody will miss when they're gone. The original suit reflected this, it looked like a cheap worn down astronaut suit or something, which consisted of only the barest essential life support to keep a guy alive in vacuum. The SC2 suit looks like it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce and maintain, all that money going toward a unit that's going to die like 9 seconds after deployment.

>>385590842
Making a vacuum sealed suit, self-powered, and full steel? It's probably pretty damn hard to put on no matter what-- the militia still have barracks facilities presumably putting it on for them.
