That's the extent of that statement. Since this is a transcriber oral interview I'm sure it sounded better with an audible influx. | ||

So, because there are some things you consider crappy in the game that you like and they are making you miserable, you will be happy if another game makes the other fans miserable... This is a common trend among us, Slavic folk, we never seem to be able to not be envious of another man's happiness. So sad, imo.

Ah, then I guess you should've mailed the Classic team at Blizzard and told them what exactly is stopping you from enjoying this 19 year old game so they could, you know, buff the graphics in 3d, balance the gameplay somehow, put mbs, automining in, I don't know, make it more palatable for you. | ||

In the part between unit selections and the minimap at the bottom left, it looks like there are six 0s (zeroes) for each of the Protoss icons. :p I just can't seem to unsee it.

I want to be able to enjoy BW on a modern OS without much hassle, so from my point of view 1.18 with a ladder and a functioning anti-cheat would have done the trick already. While SC:R does include some things I can understand as necessary evils to bring it to the modern age (Hotkey remapping for patrol/hold or widescreen come to mind) it overall seems like a decent package so far. The last bit I'm hoping that makes it in are three graphics modes: 4:3 "original" as well as widescreen with both the old and the HD models. Would be a shame if I felt forced into using the HD models simply due to the aspect ratios. The difference in screen estate is pretty massive in the end - hell the difference between 16-9 and 16-10 is already rough for competitive games in general. | ||

Also, will custom maps from BW be playable with SC:R? That is a pretty important feature for bringing people a long. | ||

So, to me - and I think a lot of others - the bad aspects of SC:R in terms of the graphics/artwork are: - Archons: Too uniformly spherical with far too smooth edges. First off, it deviates fundamentally from the core design, which we were lead to believe that Blizzard would adhere to "Switching from SC:BW to SC:R should feel like having watched the former without glasses, and then putting them on". Secondly, it makes them look fat and quite honestly, goofy. - Dragoon attacks: Seems as though the way the 'Phase disruptor" projectiles travel across the screen has been altered by having the speed be nearly constant as opposed to constantly accelerating. This is one of the many examples regarding elements of this game's design that you don't realize you care about until someone tampers with it. A Dragoon attack should be akin to the cracking of a whip or the firing of a catapult. It just isn't visually satisfying otherwise. The impact of the projectiles as is (in SC:R currently) simply doesn't pack any punch. - Death animations: The death animations all suffer from a serious and seemingly systematic flaw - they take too long. This is a problem for a number of reasons. 1) It clutters up the screen. This is mostly, if not exclusively, a consequence of this flaw as it relates to unit explosions (not so much other death animations). This problem leads to decreased visibility for the player and creates a lot of distracting "white noise" on screen for spectators. 2) Having prolonged death-animations - almost 'slow motion'-like when compared to SC:BW - lessens the positive audio/visual experience for players and viewers alike. In SC:BW unit deaths are "short and sweet", giving an immediate and high-intensity punch to the viewer's/player's senses - just the way it should be. Also, please stick to your own stated design philosophy and simply focus on improving the graphics instead of reinventing the artwork. I'm specifically thinking of how the deaths of Zealots, Marines, Zerglings and Ultralisks have all been changed dramatically for the worse. Not only is there less blood in the case of Zerglings and Ultralisks, but there is also a non-aestethic problem stemming from the way in which Marines perish, or more specifically the immediate aftereffects of them having died. Previously (in SC:BW) when a Marine had just died a ring of blood was created centered on the spot where it had stood which enabled viewers/players to visually estimate how many had been killed in a particular engagement. In short, please refrain from being hijacked by your impulses to put your own stamp on the game's artwork and animations and simply stick to your initial goal of making SC:R a more high resolution version of SC:BW THANKS. | ||

So when is SC2 going to get the suspense treatment and lose all the observer tools? to be fair i have actually heard people say stuff like that when saying that scbw has a better viewing experience.. i have never heard a point by point explanation of it though, especially since the later broadcasts from like 2008+ had unit counters and the such | ||

If they wanted to keep the "mystery" not having options was probably best. | ||

SC2 Community Feedback Updates has proven that. Also, aside from the bolded sentence at the end I thought the poster shared their thoughts in a reasonable manor. you could try replying with counterpoints if you disagree with the posted though. It my just be me, but I dream of a day where we all stop responding to each other because we have something negative to say about someone else's post. Please be constructive guys, I know you are all capable of better posting on TL then what has transpired over the last month. | ||
