I also believe that there are plenty of users who never bought sc and enjoyed the game. 15$ isnt too much to ask to be honest... Just change your mind like you treated a person a nice meal for dinner and made a strong bond. Blizzard did a lot of work to get this sc hyped again. Clap clap  You are right that it's not too much money to ask for it, but i am still a bit concerned about there being no matchmaking for 1.18. It has the potential to divide the community. | ||

1. The protoss interface as others have pointed out is shit, but I have to imagine it's just a rough draft so hopefully it's not a problem. The zerg/terran one looks good enough imo. There are also a couple of alignment issues with the UI/graphics, but once again hopefully not a problem on release. If the product was perfect, then it wouldn't be in development, it'd be released. 2. $15 is a lot less than I thought it'd be, which is cool. Was expecting more like $20-25. 3. Mixed thoughts about matchmaking being exclusive to remastered. There is the obvious argument about spliiting the community, but I personally don't think this'll be that big of an issue. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think most people who are 1/2 serious about playing bw will get remastered even if they don't completely care for the skins. A counter argument for keeping matchmaking solely for people who play are smurfs/hackers, as there really wouldn't be a way to stop people from smurfing/hacking in a free game. | ||

The only problems I have are with Eggs and Archons looking weird, Protoss UI and Zerglings being out of place (to tall?). These are not a huge issues. Superexcited. Note interesting thing from the Artstechnica article: "Blizzard Classic already announced that StarCraft Remastered will include a "make game look old" button, which I tested roughly every 20 seconds in my session. The default key binding, F5, will switch the game's graphics from new to old and back again at any time. What Blizzard hadn't made clear until this week's event is that there's another on-the-fly visual toggle, currently mapped to F7: a combination of real-time lighting and environmental effects." | ||

Yeah it's interesting I read that and I mean they have gone to Korea 10 times and started development 18 months ago. In that same link: "We did a lot of research and asked a lot of people about 16  versus 4:3," Sousa said to Ars. "We thought that was going to be the biggest problem, right? But the pros we asked about it, they all said it doesn’t really matter."Stilwell confirmed that Blizzard's SC:R development began "18 months ago" with trips to South Korea to recruit the original game's professional players as consultants and testers. "We've been there 10 times in the past year alone," Stilwell said. The community was adamant that various issues remain untouched and even "broken" in any remaster, with the game's "automatic pathfinding" cited as the biggest example (meaning, if you tell an SCV to walk to a distant point, it will still likely take a circuitous and even incorrect route there). However, the Korean community wanted to make sure that its preferred matchmaking solutions, including Fish, be made compatible with SC:R." The only thing I worry about is lag/compatibility issues like 1.18 had at launch. But sounds like they've been working on the remastered a lot longer than I thought and I assume longer then 1.18, so hopefully there are no performance issues.

If you press F5 it will change from the remastered edition to classic graphics (and vice versa). | ||

The recent drama with ATB has dampened my enthuiasm quite a bit, too. Would probably still buy it, since I never actually bought a legit copy of the original game... BTW was hotkey remapping taken out? I don't see it anywhere in the list. Would be really surprised if that's the case. | ||

The game is less expensive than most people thought. And I don't see how paying for new features hinders anything. | ||
