I do wonder if the "buy once, use forever" policy for the original Brood War at PC bangs (a pricing policy that almost no popular game offers to PC bang owners anymore) will actually make PC bang owners reluctant to opt into Remastered, pushing ppl to keep playing 1.18 instead.

Ok so just to be clear, this isn't new and already happens with every blizzard game? I get that pc bangs don't like it, but it's consistent at least right, not blizzard trying to be extra greedy.
At the same time one can certainly argue if it should be like that

I guess PC Bang regulars don't really care about ladder (the are used to play on fish) or graphics anyways and continue to play 1.18 (or whatever the name for the "free" version will be after SCRs launch).

PC Bangs will lose potencially new or returning players that are drawn in by the new release if they don't offer it or charge extra.

It's only a temporal problem though. Sooner or later a platform will offer SCRs online content for free. Shield Battery is already close and if tec27 stays true to his promise and makes it open source, there will be a korean Shield Battery version for PC Bangs (that keeps out dirty foreigners) in no time.

After that it's business as usual (one copy of SCR for the entire PC Bang to use the assets, and then set up the custom server for each place).

For anyone interested, I stumbled upon a remake of the Broodwar intro sequence:

I like this. The original was really dark so hard to see. Also, someone in comments mentioned this is fan made?

LOL it's fun but yeah, no way in hell this is Blizzard's work. They're 100% about the CG. People may not remember but their cinematics were hyped as fuck back in the day.

Interesting to see widescreen versions of the 4:3 UI in addition to the 16: 9 UI. It arguably looks more polished than the 16: 9 UI, and I wonder if they will have another option to switch between the UI layouts.

Please NO!
Real actors making it bad. Its like some sort of command and conquer rip off, terrible damage to the intro. And that finger movement of the firebat look like one of cheap costume. Completely 3d model remake wouldve been so much better.

I want to see a real Starcraft movie with real actors. I want Sandra Bullock to be Kerrigan. Brad Pitt as Jim Raynor and Morgan Freeman as the Overmind.

Cosplayers trying to act, it's more like

That trailer was a ripoff of the official remastered trailer, a WCS trailer, and a fan-made remake of the BW intro.

I have no idea who the other voice actors are, but I think Tricia Helfer is already a pretty good cast for Kerrigan

SC documentary seems nice.
The only thing that sucks is that I'm starting new work at the SC:R premiere date and I'm leaving the town for some training, so I hope the hotel will handle WiFi so I can spam games after work :d
