The new game looks oversaturated lcd and the old looks like greyed out crt, perfect greyscale, you know what I mean? I'll drop starcraft remastered in a heartbeat just to watch these anew. | ||

Sure the remastered 1999 doesn't look great, but its leagues ahead compared to 1999 one. At least you can make out faces. But I think that's because originals are in such low quality in first place, altho I swear when I watched some of these proleagues on tooniverse back in the day on TV, I swear it looked lot more watchable on TV. Biggest obstacle for SC2 recruit like me from watching these old games are its quality and I'm glad OGN is remastering them, even if the letters look off. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/TQArv4t.png) I agree, and this isn't something a crt will fix. This is a camera pointed at a projection and is at most 240p. 1.16 on CRT was amazing, I agree, but if this is the best way to preserve these old games so be it, hopefully the old versions stick around without OGN going after them. | ||

If anyone remembers "emperor of the terran" (Boxer DVD) which also contains games from 2002 i think - - that what its ("old games re-releases in 2025") probably should at least look like. | ||

As a way to show just how far the meta has morphed & evolved over the last 26 years of course. | ||

As a way to show just how far the meta has morphed & evolved over the last 26 years of course. That would be hilarious. I kind of both want to watch it with 'forgiving' Artosis and 'this is not how you're supposed to play it' Artosis. | ||

But, as usual, people exaggerate terribly... It's completely fine, way better than the grainy mess vods that are still available. 10/10 unreasonable complaints, definitely enjoyed that. | ||

I think it depends on how you look at it, resolution seems quite fine but the image is so unstable with all the texture fizzling that I cannot watch it for more than 2 minutes before getting sea sick. But everything outside of the gameplay looks so sick and funny, like the extremely detailed chairs and desks that look extremely uncomfortable. Makes me nostalgic, even though I'm not much into bw and was three years old at the time of recording lol | ||

At least, I would like to know the date, please. very sad that they aren't putting dates or tournament names in the titles. no one here on teamliquid has any authority on this and probably no contact with those who do. | ||
