Damn, in WC3 they had a bug, graphics would switch to Reforge after a new patch.
Shit was terrifying.

Since Reforged came out we have to make sure to never accidentally click on Bnet and update the game... I honestly don't get the hype for remastered in most cases. I suppose they did a decent job with Broodwar and maybe Diablo 2? I haven't followed too closely. But those games were still being played either way.SC2 has aged well and it's not even that old. Why bring a remastered version now or in the next few years? What would that change? The DoW example, at least from the graphics perspective is a good case against it as well because the improvement ist marginal. I think DoW looks incredible for an RTS from that era and now the edges are a bit sharper and the resolution is higher? Wow, really worth the price tag... If they actually fixed how clunky the units respond in that game, that would be a game changer but I'm not sure they did (and I'm sure people would be mad about that if they did...). Has someone here played it? | ||

Has someone here played it? They fixed most of the issues with reforged. If you select classic graphics it plays the same, but with some cool QoL features. Ingame hotkeys, grid, camera distance adjusting, clock, miner count, etc. The "reforged" graphics setting is unsalvagable. Models were not designed for an RTS. | ||

Has someone here played it? I’m about to this week hopefully. As someone who loves RTS games, and a big Warhammer 40K fan, I haven’t played the series. I used to go very all-in on a handful of games, and not explore a lot (also being a kid, only so much budget), so that lapse is more explicable! Even if it’s not a huge upgrade, if it works well on modern systems, and also has all the bells and whistles, and the expos all in one place, it’s not too bad for 20 quid. If it’s a 60 quid product, or ostensibly a remake I would expect more. I think remasters of this ilk, like it’s some decent QoL but it’s not gonna make much of a difference for people who’ve kept playing the game. For those who either had a fun time 15 years ago or w/e, or who never played a classic, even a half-decent remaster is great to have. As a gamer who was bound by my father’s hardware choices basically all of my old games are unplayable. Pre-Intel Mac games, they’re built for fundamental architecture that’s not just one iteration old, but two. I could, of course just rebuy, but it’s nice to have titles that are built for modern systems if one is gonna do that. | ||
