EPTMe? I already made my point.The graphics themselves don't bother me but i like the new widescreen mode too much to go back.And to put widescreen in SD you would need to edit the UI, which i am not sure is even possible unless you are blizzard?

there are some things that are better to me with the SD Graphics : animations, clarity especially for displaying team color, and in some cases the art direction it would be neat to be able to play it widescreen with the bottom UI not looking distorted or woot btw i would suggest maybe 3v3 (& 4v4) ladder : o because the issue of balance comes up a lot i'm fine with just playing custom games premade vs pick ups but is that ideal?? and the stats, its nice :D | ||

As much as it sucks that they «dont care» about starcraft, I think we should be happy for what they’ve done for the game and that we have had this amazing game for over 20 years | ||

However there's still that bitterness that if this game was open-sourced or in the right hands it would be in a much better situation than now. Let's be honest most of the things discussed here are not that complicated from a video-game development perspective considering how far long the industry has come in the past 20 years. | ||

Regarding 1.16.1 people should remember that blizzard added new reverse ramps recently for maps that are incompatible with 1.16.1. Not a huge issue but another reason why there should be an alternate server for the new version of the game in case the bnet servers do go offline or become unplayable at some stage. | ||

the zoom out is a great feature, though. a bit smoothed out SD would be a great balance between the two, imo | ||

But I still can't get over how they managed to make the original graphics worse when they released remastered. It can only be deliberate. I did a round of experimentation with SD graphics in remastered last week, and I'm starting to wonder if this idea of "smoother" or "less pixelated" SD graphics in 1.16.1 is a bit of a myth. It's true the graphics will be skewed a little at most screen resolutions, but at some resolutions they are not skewed at all, and at higher resolutions this is barely noticeable anyway. Does anyone here have some good screenshots of 1.16.1 so I can compare the two? | ||

Need functioning match making, cool channels/features for a real sense of community. The sky is the limit when it's not blizzard working on it. | ||

Does anyone here have some good screenshots of 1.16.1 so I can compare the two? Here's the comparison done at same "integer-scale to 480p" resolution (top is 1.16.1, bottom is SC:R SD): ![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/6ZmV2N5/SDvsHD.png) Non-pixelated 1.16 is a myth, it was probably non-integer scaling at 1080p or 1024p that resulted in a bit blurry image. Pixel-wise there are minor artifacts, but what's more important is loss of color, pay attention to red arrows. Also bottom panels look a lot worse and blurry. | ||
