Broodwar is peer to peer. Their are no "servers" as such. We host our own games is my understanding. Can you tell me what the benefit of connecting to this "server" would be.


Hopefully they make the connection exactly like Warcraft 3 / Starcraft 2 lag could destroy the remasters popularity.

however do you ever get such low lat as the low you can get in good conditions in bw thx to peer to peer? I dont think so
the sprites in the gif dont look averall very good to me (dont like marine gling ultra death animations, but i think i do like the goon and archon after all just bit different, tank is a bit weird too shiny seems lightning is off? idk some shading and animating to be done), like I just prefer the original sprites or some animations but thats ok cause the option is always there to play with these

Well I don't believe this is the final product or anything. I think they made a mistake somewhere uploading old material or who knows what. They need to issue a statement soon though because keeping those low quality gifs up is going to confuse people.

Being able to use the original sprites is cool ( I know I'll be using them) but remember, Blizzard is going to force the Korean tournaments to use the remaster and I assume the new sprites. Anyone looking forward to all future BW competition being a eye sore???

The "nostalgia" excuse is tired as hell, these sprites are just low quality. Blizzard needs to go back to the drawing board and delay the game if needed to do this right.

one thing I don't want to see happen is smtg like the crashes currently happening that were apparently introduced by 1.18 remaining with the game, it happens too often (someone crash at start of game, everybody wait 45seconds)

ASL4 will be using remastered, rather waiting for it. I can only presume the same for the rest. So, I think this past ASL and this upcoming ATB are the only remaining tourneys that will be using the standard version.

Do we actually have any information that blizzard is forcing these tournaments--- and any future online or offline tournament -- to do this? Adoption=/=forced adoption afterall.

Even if they broadcast live using remastered (observer), it doesn't prevent players from using the standard version since both are compatible, it's the whole point.

Seems extremely likely that they will, given that they also forced the ASL to switch to 1.18 this past season (and only relented after much complaining from both fans and pros). Blizzard's "if you don't want to switch, you won't have to!" statements only go as far as they don't affect their own bottom line.

People always talk about nostalgia clouding our minds, and brood war having bad graphics, but I love the graphics and nostalgia has nothing to do with it! I never played this game before august 2015 basically. If tournaments end up being only watchable in the nominally HD graphics (as shown in the presented gifs) I will cry.

That's a big statement without any actual proof. I respect you tec, but people shouldn't be making statements like this without any verifiable evidence.

I gave some in the previous statement? Or you could go back further and look at what Blizzard did to Kespa's BW leagues after they made they same sort of statements about BW vs SC2? There's plenty of history behind this.

yep, I'm aware of that. My comment was regarding what we the viewers will see. Once remastered gets released, there is a high chance that any and all BW tournaments will be casting the game using the HD graphics, rather than the standard ones that we've watched for so long. My only hope is that the new gfx are close enough and look good enough in the final release so that we can enjoy the match rather than nitpick about some of the smaller changes.

eurgh those death sprites look bad. In the sense that they don't look like the originals (but in HD) which things pretty much looked like before. Tank shell impacts and tank explosions looking different too. What happened to keeping things the same but higher res?

Like a lot of the nitpicking (it's too shiny! etc) has been a bit much but these things are just straight up different, and I thought that was against their mandate.

The mutas popping too.. just everything in those gifs

I watched and interview with the head designer(?) of the remaster somewhere on youtube, and he said that some sprites were not recoverable since the game is so old that Blizzard no longer had them. They had to make a lot of sprites and make them look like old bw or at least similar with HD.

@edit
BTW. Does anyone else have this feeling that it looks more like a game from 2003/2004 era rather then a new 2017 game? Maybe its just lightning or something but it looked rather graphically poor.

I think that we should wait some more before passing any further judgement on the sprites etc... I just highly doubt they changed sprites since they showed the last trailer and hopefully they prove me right lol.
