This is much better than I expected, amazing job!

However, I still see 3D graphs, models are not exactly 2D.


The engine is identical such that even replays are compatible between the two. The engine is NOT 3D, rather using 2D sprites presumably generated from 3D models?

Just to add another graphics comparison I just made, here are the old and new Zergling run cycles. I'm very happy they didn't try to modernize the ling design to look more like the SC2 ones or anything.

[image loading]

One of the reasons they look a bit different is because a lot of the team color areas in the original sprites were added by hand. So in the zergling when the upper arm was in front of the body or head, it switched to being team-colored, and only becomes brown again when it isn't blocking the body. The new one stays light brown the whole time, so the upper arms will stand out a lot more.

(Also though, while details like the individual toes in the webbed feet were always meant to be in the model, I don't know that they needed to be so brightly colored. Makes the new sprite a bit busier than if the toes were also team-colored.)

I always thought those were horns, why in the world does it have human arms coming out of its head...?



It's never been a secret, there was a picture of the original model used to render the ling sprites in the manual:

[image loading]

As for why it has hands, you'll just have to look back at their old concept art. Both Samwise and Metzen's ling concepts (also in the manual) had hands, though only Metzen's had thumbs. (I'd guess the idea of having hands at all was influenced by Xenomorphs and Tyranids.)

Love how the remastered graphics look, but seeing in greater detail what the artists originally intended makes me appreciate how much more I love the designs for the iconic looks of the starcraft 2 units, and how they look in game. (Except the lurker, still prefer BW lurker better)

OMG this is the best news I've heard in years. I don't give a shit what the graphics look like as long as more people are online. I would play SC today if the online wasn't dead. As long as I can play all the old custom maps from before, I will be happy.

Wow, the new hydralisk model looks so fucking badass! I never knew that's what the model actually looked like...And the portrait too! Wonder what the lurker looks like .

Can't wait for ladder play!

This is exactly what a lot of people like myself wanted. Just a better UI, and modern matchmaking with a better battle.net would improve this game a hundred percent over. Getting matched to similar skill players, and having leagues or global rankings would be much more motivating to keep playing
This is going to bring in new players to both this and SC 2. Its a winning situation really.
I just hope they do this with diablo 2 or warcraft 2/3. Diablo 2 could use this treatment actually too

I have overall a positive impression of the remastered graphics so far : ] could feel really nice, hydra and zealot for example seem not the easiest to redraw and they look classy (marine too it seems, I like the dark metal touch), looking forward to seeing more animations and stuff! terrain, buildings, UI.. yes
i might say some things seem a tad shiny or polished but overall rather impressed and happy how its going

Dii is another game I could play ez with it's shitty graphics since it is one of my fav games of all time but if they remake it they need to do something big time about the Chinese market on b.net.

Even if nothing was changed and a lot of people started playing Brood War again I would be extremely happy. The HD graphics, matchmaking, and other improvements are all extras for me. Time to start practicing again!

Im buying it 100%.
But why is the original gonna be free? and we should pay for the new one? .
I paid for the original and now I gotta pay again? .

I just expect the remastered doesn't cost more than $30 or I would be disappointed

In the Marine comparison picture, the tileset shows the bones of a dead Hydralisk! Neat.

I sincerely doubt Blizzard would charge the price of a new game for this 20 year old with a coat of paint.

I hope for a remake of diablo 2, making alot of skills available and more tough decisions while making attribute points more relevant as well.
And also adding some sort of "end-game" such as survival mode and adding a serious pvp mode.
Would make the game really really good, probably the best arpg in the world
