BW HD remake wasn't mentioned with 1 word at blizzcon. To me, the topic is more then over, should be closed like said above. So even after we get a guy with personal insider knowledge AND Blizzard posts official job postings of a remake you won't believe it? I will bet you literally anything that the remake is coming. You seem to be under the false assumption that Blizzard is obliged to reveal everything they're working on at every Blizzcon. | ||

If their finished product is anything like sc2's lobby system it'll just anger the bw fans. | ||

From that source i can 1,5 million % guarantee you that they are not working on BW HD. Im simply ignoring people who claim to have insider knowledge but can't provide any evidence. To the job posting: could as well be a minor patch, could already be cancelled, could be anything. | ||

This is why Blizzard fucks everything up these days. They refuse to admit they just can't do some things, and when they do admit they don't have the technology it's some bullshit excuse for something they could easily do. | ||

The ONE thing people didn't want, the ONEEEE thing people asked Blizzard to NEVER do was make BW in SC2 no matter their technology or whatever bullshit, and they supposedly want to do it anyway. This is why Blizzard fucks everything up these days. They refuse to admit they just can't do some things, and when they do admit they don't have the technology it's some bullshit excuse for something they could easily do. EXACTLY. It's SO arrogant to do it in SC2's engine, and it's silly that they have any hope that balance will be preserved. The slightest alteration of unit behavior caused by this shift could have fatal consequenses for balance. And when the inevitable balance problems occur? Then it's time for Blizzard's endless carousel of balance tweaks a la SC2. Thanks, but no thanks. In the previous speculation thread that was dozens of pages long, no one even contemplated the possibility that it might be in SC2's engine. It's that ridiculous. | ||

Really, I can't get the arcade to load. My PC locks up and when it does load it takes several minutes. Doesn't matter because nobody plays it anyway. | ||

You shouldnt assume that this project has the same funding or as many people working on it as a next big title has. I feel like its a side thing for them so they can cash in on the younger people who didnt grow up playing these games. | ||

If they just stick to sprites and replicate the movement/mechanics that make BW what it is, I'm okay with it. On the other hand if they just make 3D models and just call it "BW HD", I'm not sure how well the community will react (if positive at all). I mean, we already have this in the arcade in SC2 as fan-made projects. I'm hoping they just stick with sprites | ||

Even if they bring out SCBW HD, it will fail so hard, it will be as dead as LOTV. I say Blizzard, bring it and crash as you always do. People in Korea will hate you even more after that huge middlefinger towards the Korean scene, who all in unison do not want any Blizzard involvement in the future. | ||

As long as people still want to discuss it, they should be free to do this. This is the BW forum. Also your statement is contradictory, because if it were discussed to death then new threads wouldn't pop up. Stop trying to silence people plz and let them decide when it's actually discussed to death. Also, if you guys don't have something new to bring to the discussion, please refrain from bringing the negativity. I didn't close the other thread and never planned on closing this one either. Please re-read my first post. I merely stated that there isn't any evidence aside from a rumour and that blizzcon (implied in my post) was the best chance for us to hear about BW HD. If people want to keep speculating, by all means, go ahead. I'm not planning to stop anyone lol. | ||

(Whether it will be replicated, he doesn't know.) So, I think it's going to happen eventually, but it may or may not be soon and it may or may not be an exact reproduction of BW in ways that would matter to a fan of the 2000--2013(?) pro scene. But what is the point when there is already Starbow and other mods that basically did the very same thing? could as well be a minor patch Speaking of patch. The fuck did happen to patch 1.17? | ||

BWHD will come but it won't be in the sc2 engine and it won't change gameplay at all. it will just make it easier for people to play and as a bonus a good matchmaking system would be a god send. custom hotkeys would be nice as well and more cool sprites? there is so much they can do to make it better, and none of that has to do with touching the mechanics or gameplay of bw. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + We at Blizzard are proud to announce BendoverWatch, or BW for short. We are taking legal action against any future brood war tournaments, we want to erase that game from the face of the earth. Any current BW players are free to switch to the new BW. From now on, BW will always mean BendoverWatch and it is illegal to mention brood war. I just hope our playerbase won't be split anymore than it currently is. If you look at it that way, it might even be good if the remake is as different from bw as possible, because then there won't be any migration from us. | ||
