SD or HD work for me.

I prefer HD for casting for obvious reasons, but really I just want my button remapping.

Overall, as I've always said, I fear SB will never have the player pool even a degraded and falling apart SCR ladder will have. The more it takes for a person to be engaged and playing a game, the drastically smaller percentage of players will want to involve themselves to get there. Probably unpopular to say, but ...

Ignore the troll, it's a Blizzard shill who has been doing this for 2 years.

right cause then if my screen is using 1920*1080 then it could be trying to draw the game in SD at 1280*1024 within the 1920*1080, these screens if you switch to a non native resolution you get input lag : s
however i can confirm even using my old CRT on remaster it still wasn't drawing the SD graphics properly (that CRT was running the 640*480 like all CRT can do)

i mean have you tried wimpwimpwimp? cause it doesn't work here, SC:R switches to its own resolution which you can't pick, if I set my screen to 1280*1024 i get my input lag and lower refresh rate on desktop, run SC:R the resolution switches for it and the SD graphics are drawn badly as always

besides you want to be able to pick that resolution from within the game so it starts it up automatically and not switch your desktop resolution every time you run the game


Strange. On this PC Brood War never changes the screen resolution - the game respects whatever resolution is running at launch. This is also how I like it. Having the screen resolution change whenever i alt-tab would be a pain in the butt.

I never noticed input lag using non-native screen resolutions. I did some googling, and apparently this can be an issue, depending on your hardware and if it is your graphics card or your monitor handling the scaling. A GTX 1080 graphics card supposedly needs 80 microseconds to rescale – that’s not a lot.

I guess if your hardware is such that you’ll have to run the game in your monitor’s native resolution, then you have a problem. Still, the difference to my eyes at least between perfectly scaled 1280 x 1024, and 1920 x 1080, really is quite small.

Edit: In Options: Video: Display Mode, selecting "Fullscreen" means the resolution will change. Select Windowed (Fullscreen), and it will not.

Wait, I'm a little confused but is wthe whole dislike of Remastered graphics more of a 'I just like the old feeling' of the original or is it an actual competitive difference? Because every pro and semi-pro I've seen play on stream all use the new graphics.
I personally really like the new graphics, makes watching the game much cleaner and combined with the upgraded spectator/replays it's really clean.

All you need is to get Korean streamers to swap to Shieldbattery, which they'll gladly do if remastered continues to be plagued by hackers. At that point the entire Korean community will switch, which is like 98% of the player base.

I like the remastered graphics and I know from personal experience that a lot of people will not watch 1.16, I've heard it over and over again that it looks bad.

It looks fine to us all because we're used to it, but to anyone else it looks terrible.

They have been working on making it work with RM.

Accurate.

I have a slight preference for RM, but it's subtle. It's when you want to show the game (or proscene) to non-playing friends that RM really shines. It's an almost instant nopekthxbye from friends if I show them 1.16. With RM, some of them will be engaged enough to consider giving it a shot.

It's not such a big hurdle for 1.16 fans/players/former pros, if you're referring to my post about the Zealots. It's something someone can easily get accustomed to. As other posters have noted, RM/HD is definitely better for the casual viewer, especially those coming in nowadays and who haven't been around since the 00s.

However, I do note some small differences, particularly in the physical size of units on the screen*. SD Zerglings and Zealots feel "fatter" to me. HD Zealots had already cost me a game. Not that it is HD's fault, but that was the point where I said to myself it's just not worth it to get used to the new models.

I still prefer SD overall, but it's not an objective "this is better" type deal. It's just what I'm used to and instead of learning the new graphics as an old man playing a video game, I'd prefer to stick to the basics. But, if I could play in SD while streaming in HD, I would.

Hope this all made sense from one grumpy old fart!

I think jealous' points are on key. I too gave the HD graphics a try and thought I got used to them, but found that I really missed SD graphics even if they are worst with RM so I've since went back to playing SD. SD graphics just feel timeless to me though I can also understand why someone who wants the newest shinest graphics might not like them when compared with HD graphics and dynamic lighting too etc...

I watched some ASL/pro-fppov vods last night from before remastered came out, and it's really mind blowing how much worse SD looks in RM. Really made me miss the old graphics, I'd definetly go back if someone were to fix the awful RM SD renderer.

I think you all are being disingenuous about this topic. HD graphics are objectively better no matter how you slice it.

As a matter of fact HD graphics are the sole reason this game is not dead at the moment. People will still argue against this but realistically SC:R HD graphics are probably the lowest quality a viewer and newish player will go for in this day and age without dismissing the game entirely because of that. (not just SC, just games in general).

The game was doing just fine in Korea both player and viewership wise before RM. I don't know what you are on about.

Other than watching replays/matches on HD I don't really care about new graphics. It's only really good for spectators cause when you zoom in and out graphics don't become distorted. But for playing I prefer 1.16.1 SD for sure.

Not only I want it to be fixed but I also wish they could add widescreen mode for SD.
