has somebody saw this? This guys says that Gorush was invited to play the game this week, and Gorush stated that Blizzard has only revealed 1080p. When you upgrade it to 4K(Pressing F7), the graphics get enhanced, there are better ligth and shadows, aditional glow effects, there is water animations, etc.
While GoRush mentioned that it was 4K graphics, there were talks on TL that F7 enabled extra effects and particles that made the game look nicer. I'm pretty sure this is what GoRush was talking about when he said '4K' graphics: Not actually 4K resolution graphics, but extra added effects that can be togged with F7 key.
But for some reason, I didn't see F7 being mentioned on Lowko's Vlog where he got to try remastered alpha version (it only mentions F5).

I feel there's a bit of an aura of complacency with revival BW right now that's obscuring the fact that the game absolutely needs new players at some point (hopefully the current bunch can carry it for a long time). A free game with good matchmaking hardly guarantees that kids will start playing BW, but it's really the best shot BW has for generation change, and in the best case, growth.
i have to disagree i rly hope they keep it this way i was super scared of all the smurfs just make new account go MM and then first lose new account go into MM ... it would REALLY destroy a working MM system if it worked that way also cheaters would risk nothing so u had cheaters in mm, now they can lose the money/account
I am still a bit confused. So the old bw version won't get any ranking system either? I mean there has to be some way to somewhat define how good you are, no?

You should be able to ladder with sq (no HD), but without remastered I guess it depends on what happens with iccup/fish (well, i guess it's safe to say that iccup will die for the most part)
Not everybody can "ladder" on fish right? (latency). I really would expect that blizzard at least gives the 1.18 users a way to find fair matches. That would mean a ladder though and that is apparently not happening. I get that they wanna give remastered some special features, but if you cannot even make sure to play against equally strong opponents on 1.18, what is the point?
I feel like I'm just gonna buy this now, and hope that they give nobody reasons to stick with 1.18 at the cost of being expelled from any public ladder (which means ease of finding public games vs similarly skilled opponents without cuting yourself off from all the other players who might just do fun games)
btw I like the aiur nexus and stuff its funny and look quite good, probably not over the top, however I much prefer the protoss UI at bottom of screen in original but w/e eh, will see! (out of the 3 race UIs in remastered, I like the Z one, but the T and P ones feel bit squarish or smtg, almost like they look older than the original u know?? just too squarish/undetailed)
(about the special CC/Nex/Hive, will this apply to any you own, or the first one you have/make?)
I thought it was going to be $9.99 dollars. Maybe i was being too unrealistic. Anyways, after seeing the battle chest that being offered to korea, I will not be buying the game until we are offered a battle chest as well. Not hating, it just that the battle chest looks amazing!

I mean i will buy remastered no matter what, but the move is still a bit weird. Making bw free to play seems to not havy any impact if it basically means you cannot really "ladder" (not necessarily with matchmaking ofc, but some from of ranking/ladder)

yeah it means if smtg is disliked in using remastered to play competitively, people using 1.18 would want to go to another ladder and be cornered to low pop private servers splitting community but since remastered seems to play like original AND can also display (and sound?) like original... why will anybody want to stick to original? unknown (pc requirements a possibility for some) I hope the ladder system is good
