BW and SC:R are fully compatible, so if someone doesn't like the remastered graphics can still play on the ladder using the free 1.18 against others with the hd version

That doesn't make sense since you can zoom out on the remastered version so it would be an unfair advantage.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but where did you get that info from?
I had a dream I moved to Korea to become a GSL champion. I slept in PC bangs and practiced only vs the PC. I named my self Death and faced Life in the finals. I beat him, but ended up dying as I killed his last building.

Read the last question in the remastered interview.

Q: Are there any plans to make BW and SC:R compatible? If gameplay is designed to be identical between both games, can players choose to play BW and SC:R and play against each other? Would replays be playable in both graphic modes?

A: Players will be able to connect and play, watch replays, or share saved games seamlessly between free Brood War, and the SC:R upgrade. It’s all the same client! Each player and observer in the game can opt to play in standard or high def individually, and you can switch instantly and seamlessly at the press of a button right inside the game or while watching a replay.

So any idea if the 1.18 will have widescreen too?

Looks fantastic. I'm glad Blizzard chose to stay very close to original graphics.

Instant buy, just because of nostalgia.

Now I need a Diablo 2 HD.

Here are my qualms with the remaster graphics so far:
Minerals are too bright imo
Sunken colonies look awkward on creep, we'll have to see what creep colonies and spores look too
Zerglings are ugly, look like a failed abortion version of the winged-zergling version in HotS
BCs look anorexic
Tanks feel too different from the old one and elongated in non-siege mode and too clunky in siege mode

It's in the interview.
It seems like they're keeping the same viewpoint for BWHD just with widescreen.This zoom out stuff is only for observer mode? Someone confirm?

There's a weird thing going on in this image. One of the Goliaths at the top is just mirrored from the other, which means the light is hitting it from the wrong direction and the asymmetrical aspects of the design are inconsistent. I hope this is just a placeholder and not the approach they took for half of the angles for each unit.

e: Note that this was also the case in BW, but it was a lot less noticeable because the units had much less fine detail.

I think that's what they literally had to do to update the graphics. The original 3D models that were used to render the old sprites may no longer be available so it's likely that they had to hand-draw new sprites on top of the old ones.

The hand-draw remastered portraits may be more debatable, but I think Blizzard is using talented artists like Mr--Jack so I have some hopes that they'll turn out well.

As opposed to using a real photograph of a Mutalisk?
