Starcraft 1 Remaster

It doesn't look like SC but with SC2's engine.

probably one that mods out like everything like base building, having to use multiple units, no longer have to manage multiple resources. So you get rid of all the 'complex' and gritty details of playing an actual game and just simply pick one unit out of a bunch of garbage and press maybe up to like four abilities because it fits neatly to your four fingers, oh wait most people play with three, so make the last ability like some super comeback button you get not too early also you level up over time and theres smaller units that you don't control going down over three lanes and towers inbetween and the general match goes for an hour instead of 10 mins

I abhore these fanboys and these comparisons. You're not supposed to play zoomed in like that, Jesus Christ, it just ruins the aesthetic of the original so hard.

Do you have autism?

the remaster is compatible with classic games so probably you're going to play the exact same maps

...

it's literally the same game. buying the remaster only unlocks the new graphical options. same engine, same client, same everything.

CASH GRAB!

Simple, interoperability with non-remaster versions.

Unless they've changed plans, the original is going to be made free and will be able to play online with people playing on the remaster. It's important they don't give the remaster any actual benefits over the original in order to do this.

If you WANT to play a game from 1998 that fucks up it's graphics if you try to play it on a computer made in the last 10 years I guess you can. I personally would prefer playing a game that actually outputs in widescreen and doesn't look like a Commodore 64 game.

Especially with Starcraft since the original game's multiplayer community completely abandoned Battle.net and used private servers. So this might unite the multiplayer community at least in the West again.

close explorer.exe

Bam works fine.

It looks good. I have no idea what people like are complaining about.
But it should be free update for those who bought SC1 though.

that's a really simple thing to fix. run in compatability mode with 640x480. and 256 color mode.usually the resolution won't need to be changed for me

why fuck with compatability modes and loaders when 1.18 is fucking free? It adds modern resolutions, windowed, borderless fullscreen, hotkey changing support and apm alert.

Man, the new soundtrack sounds pretty cool.

What, 1.18 adds modern resolutions?

Agreed, it looks very nice, true art assets instead of lazy filters. About the only complaint I can muster is that they didn't increase the number of frames in the animations, especially turning for larger units, though I guess that might have interfered with the perception of some gook hyper-autists for all I know.

I wonder if they'll have somebody do the same for WC 1/2, or more likely D1/2?

because everyone is completely fine playing old games on windows 7 except retards who can't google the solution

they already said W1/2 aren't enough fun to warrant a remaster and the annivesary D3 dungeon shows how serious blizzard is at treating old Diablo games

Did a colorblind person make this?

Either end explorer.exe when you play the game or get a multiplayer launcher.

This is some top tier bait.

Hopefully they don't make the game too easy or remove the limit on troops that you can select.

They're not touching the gameplay is any way. They're even refusing to fix the horrible pathing units like Dragoons have.

...

The update isn't rolled out yet. Once it's out the legacy version will be made free. The graphics/vo/music update is coming summer.

Watch it in fullscreen, they really are new assets, no shitty filters.

the thing is, those horrible mechanics balanced the game, like clumpling your mutas in 1 unit or the horrible pathing.
They aren't avoiding the issues because they are retards or incompetent, but this is mostly focused for the korean's that actually love Starcraft/BW and have been doing it for almost 20 years, with little to no help from Blizzard, because they wanted everyone to migrate into SC2. Their pro scene is huge in numbers and money, even today, so changing anything will provoke more backlash than anything.
If you touch the gameplay, no one knows what the fuck will happen in terms of balance (since the game had a very good balance between the 3 races), for example, adding more units on control groups might make Zerg easier since you rely on massive waves to overrun your opponent and trade cost efficiently.

Most people need to understand that this isn't meant for western audience, even less for newcomers to the genre or the game, it's focused to put Starcraft back into relevancy in korea (the most adept country and fanbase).
You guys like that for the most part, assuming you are purists and elitists, but if you start complaining, I assume that's because you haven't really played/watched SC at a competent level.

This

Starcraft is a really carefully balanced game. To the point where the competitive community still has uber good players that play all of the three races. If you change one thing it can completely destabilize the game's balance and ruin it for people who pay attention to it.

At the same time though some things have been changed by Blizzard over time. Like there's a really good video on all of the differences between the game's patches. And it's usually small things like how much zerglings cost.

I mentioned that because I consider it a positive. I agree with everything you've said.

...

I don't get the negativity here. It's just the old game with re-mastered graphics, if you don't want those you can just keep playing the original for free.

We wouldn't have this problem if Blizzard wasn't holding the source code hostage. The community could have fixed these issues long ago instead of having to wait for this remaster. (this isn't a problem with only Blizzard or course)

"my gender pronouns are ms/doubt/fire"

All of them.

Thankfully a buddy of mine kept his old HDDs with a quarter of a gig's worth of UMS maps.
