Not going to attack you. BWHD would still be BW but BW with mbs and such would not be BW at all. Graphically changes are fine... but when you change gameplay..=/ | ||

Even with its great gameplay, eventually its graphics will become more and more primitive in comparison to the ever-glossy games being released right now. Of course the hard-core fans will always watch BW, but if we wanted to attract new fans, we do need to keep up with the aethestics. No. BW looks great, it doesn't resemble some PS1 aged game or something. | ||

I played BW before SC2's release (even during the last couple years) and I've never thought SC2 to be near as fun to play or watch as BW. However, it's a truism that BW's outdated graphics makes it difficult for BW to draw in new players. Graphics is like packaging for consumer products, and consumer product companies know the value of refreshing their packaging design every few years. Edit: On October 25 2011 11:50 Vuk_91 wrote: What.The.Hell.Are.You.Talking.About.? Brood war has THE best graphic ever! Period. I mean you can have 200 supply vs 200 supply battles with both players bringing in like 6-7 control group of units,and you can still clearly see every unit,and if you are a player,you can also (without any problem) target any enemy unit,or control and micro your own. I really can`t understand all this stuff. You want to tell me that Quake 4 is somehow better game than Quake 3??? Or (God forbids) Heroes of Might and Magic 4 (or 5) vs 3??? Other then that,design of some BroodWar units is just great! Can someone actually tell me that tank from SC2 looks better than the tank in BW? All other units look good too. Maps are simple,no unnessesary details which can only make units harder to micro. And at the end,you want to play SC2?-Play it! You think it`s better?-No problem! But for the love of God don`t come in OUR tiny part of forum and insult OUR game by saying such blasphemous things like "Brood War needs to be HD". I really think that this conservative, defensive and narrow-minded mentality will become the death of BW. Something needs to change for BW to not remain merely "our" or "your" game. Unless you really want BW's fanbase to remain as it is, you must agree that the game itself needs to be revamped superficially. Even if the graphics were not changed, the game needs to be made more accessible. With all the compatibility issues arising in the past few years with new OS and hardware, BW is only becoming more difficult to access for new players. If nothing changes (and to be honest, I don't think anything will change; Blizzard is hardly going to do it), then BW will slowly fade into the game that is better than any modern game but nobody plays it anymore because it was "so year 2000", and BW fans will become that annoying guy in the background who keeps reminding everyone that Daggerfall is better than Oblivion or that Baldur's Gate was so much better than this SWTOR trash. Sure, if you're resigned to the fate that BW will not be revamped, then the fanbase will remain an insular, ever diminishing group of sad people remembering the glory days. One day, TBLS will retire, and if the skill level subsequently drops, how will you feel about watching pro BW? Isn't it better to have some revamping of the game to encourage new talent to come in? I don't understand why so many BW fans don't want any change at all. KeSPA will not save BW. KeSPA will try to save KeSPA, any means necessary. | ||

But definitely not soon enough to see it on TV/streams anymore ;_; Less graphics discussions please. I like my video games with edgy squares : P | ||

It is so much more elegant than 90% of the mediocre 3d that developers were trying to throw into every game in the early 2000s Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all. But I do wish Blizzard would do something to BW, at least so I could get it to scale to my monitor properly. | ||

Wow so thats pretty much 50-50 BW vs SC2. | ||

ohohohhohoho I can see it now .. Zealot build time nerf because 2gate proxy too strong at the D level, Barracks requires supply depot because proxy rax bunker rush too hard to defend at the D level, Siege Tank nerfed and marines buffed because more unit diversity is wanted in TvP, DT build time increased by 30 seconds because DT rush too strong at the D level THE POSSIBILITES ARE ENDLESS WITH BROWDER REBALANCING BW | ||
