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?

What support? SC2 rarely receives patches and has a ton of balance issues that plague it for over a year still (swarmhost, raven, adept, warp prism, invincible nydus, etc).

I get what you meant, but honestly i think Starcraft Remastered making Brood War even more popular might help push SC2 devs to get off their asses in terms of patching SC2. One would hope.

Because just watching a few Brood War games it's night and day difference between how well designed Brood War is and how well balanced it is compared to the shitshow SC2 currently is.

I dunno about some Brood War elitists but I was kinda hoping Blizzard would tinker with a secondary "Modern SC" mode that has unlimited selection, MBS, etc like in SC2. But it seems they are scared to do that.

I just hope they do this with diablo 2 or warcraft 2/3. Diablo 2 could use this treatment actually too

That's the point, it's literally the same game. Just giving to BW a bit of freshness and add "modern" features, like obs mode, windowed mode, keybinding, etc. It will be free for people already owning BW.
I'm amazed how some people can still find reasons to complain about such cool initiatives like that.

just wanna say, though I too have positive opinion about this remaster, it is seriously mental that minority opinions get warned so often or systematically on this forum. When you Frolossus say "nobody", you are wrong first (many dislike 12 unit selection or no MBS and have little gripes against the pathing, maybe not those who are currently playing because hey they probably have left at some point for this reason and/or others), and second any habit of actually banning minority opinions only goes towards enforcing a dominant ideology (dominant on this forum).

sure some people may tend to be negative no matter what and he might be like that, but anybody has also a simple right of having a negative opinion about this and I disapprove of TL tendency to bury/hide/suppress way too quickly certain types of posts or discussions in kind of an authoritarian way

maybe this guy is known to be someone else who trolled or abused before, but if not sorry but his opinion is OK even if I dont agree with it in this case. Even if he is wrong I see little reason to warn him here. Sure the classic team is rly doing this right and we are not even going to have to buy the HD version it seems to play with others and its just win/win, but why not just let people answer to this guy instead of just cutting it

it makes me want to stop reading and posting on TL sometimes

for example, a closed or locked thread is not just closed, its buried, also something I rly dislike

Those aren't the little portraits you see at the bottom are they?

Cus the 3 here are obviously painted in 2D. But in the footage they shared, the unit portraits are animated and thus must be in 3D.

I made a long post on the official blizzard forums addressing my concern with the updated marine graphics, which got deleted twice... Not sure why but I'll add it here.

So, the updated marine does not pop out on the screen as much.

On the Starcraft Remastered homepage, where there are the 5 graphical comparisons, there's a group of brown marine/medic getting killed by yellow muta/ling. I'm sure you've all seen it by now.

I don't know if it's just me, but the marines really badly blend into the dark road tiles. In the original artwork,they're less "realistic" looking, but have better visibility because of the lighter grey color glints on the armor. The new artwork looks cool but has a darker grey metal design, which seems to blend in with darker tile sets pretty badly.

Does this bother anyone else?

Protoss Pylon explosion animation seems a bit overdone. Animation seems to take up too much space, and lasts a long time. Bright as well, and obscures the units near it. Don't really like the style of the explosion either, old style was better.

Overall the graphic improvements are good move though.

it looks like they have two forms, a walking form and an attacking form. below we see some goofy units walking around that I can only assume are zealots. they have no psi blades and just walk with their hands out.




but below we see the zealots attacking with their stabby stabby motion like usual, with psi blades lookin sexy AF



so I dont really know what to think about this. the stabby zealots look great, but whatever is walking around the top left corner in the first second of the mp4 looks hideous
