Blizzard would never allow this. They aren't the same about the game studio they used to be.

Obs mode and the resolution changer plugin = spectator client.

These are at odds with each other, you have to do one or the other. If you mean keep the same amount of map shown, while having more resolution, then that requires remaking all of the sprites, and also would mean having access to and understanding of the code. We don't have access to the code, they probably don't have anyone who still knows the code, and neither Blizzard nor us really has the time or ability or desire to do that.

On the other hand, watching replays in HD is fun and I do it quite often, and I sometimes cast in 16 too, as does Sonic (although he does it oddly).


Gearbox is remaking Homeworld in HD. They didn't make the game originally, but they read the code, understood it, and then started working.

"Not understanding the code" is not an excuse. It's right there, they can devote a week or two to reading it. If they wanted to do it, they could.

http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/the-starcraft-path-finding-hack

Read those 2 articles and think about how shitty SC's source code is. Now think about how worse the compiled files are
Sure anyone can reverse engineer SC for a few weeks to do this but it isn't worth it imo when there's lots of other things that needs to be fixed first

-Replay - spectator resolution slider (Replays can be watched in many different resolutions - the ability to zoom in and out.)
-More replay functionality (Completely optional!)
-Game mechanics would stay entirely the same.
-Backwards compatability to any non-HD version of BW.
-Some of the private servers such as ICCUP and FISH available under de facto settings and an anti-hack program built-in as well.


Hey it seems I did a pretty good job guessing too.

I actually had a conversation with 2pacalypse- in 2014 where I said that BW getting updated graphics would make people come back and he said changing the graphics was a dumb idea

Maybe a Blizzard employee read my blog (Probably not)?

I think it's just the logical thing to do if you wanted to remaster Brood War and please as many hardcore fans, this is exactly how you would do it, Blizzard talked to the community so they ended thinking along the same lines as myself.

I'm not involved in the Brood War world anymore. Are they still playing tournaments and stuff in Korea? And are they gonna switch to HD if so?

thezanursic you are the man. Great post. So glad that we got what we wanted and they are still working on improving the game. If Blizz keep optimizing the client / networking, and implement 2v2 Matchmaking. I will be good with Starcraft for another 20 years.

I'll never understand what prompts people to post stuff like this every time a bold idea shows up.

I'd understand expressing doubt, but gleefully shooting down the idea with conviction essentially implying that OP is dumb for even suggesting it? And then being proven wrong.

What is gained by it?
Tyrant.
