From what I have seen, yes, rewinding in replays have been requested more than watching replays online.

The other super important thing about this feature for Blizzard is that it's a great way to bring casuals into the game. People who might be intimidated by a match can still enjoy hopping into a replay and spectating a saved, well played game by good players with other people.

This is one thing that also really hurt the WC3 experience - how do I watch a replay together with a friend? We'd have to get on vent and sync up.
hmm.

Pardo's "no online replay on release" means "we want to charge you extra for that feature." Simple

That is becouse SC players assumed that watch replays online will be implanted.

I think you can pass it off as a "toy" if you consider the fact that they would be able to release the game in December 2009 while adding this feature in January or February next year instead of delaying the whole game those couple months just so that they can have it on release.

That wouldn't make sense.

interesting concept...

what is a replay editor?

and is it similar to the play-from-replay feature?

Honestly I am very upset about this decision. Me and my best mate were planning on playing as competitively as we can against each other, and every time we had a match where one of us was saying 'ok htf did you just beat me' we were planning on opening up the replay and pointing our mistakes, tactics or micro out to each other. This will severely decrease the efficency of our learning process as a whole. We'll make do.. but still, epic fail.

Unfortunately this sort of attitude was to be expected the moment they announced a three-part game... Though seriously... what's the big deal about getting multiplayer replays?

This has nothing to do with a three part game.

Multiplayer replays represents an enormous social aspect of broodwar. Watching replays of tournaments with friends is awesome, and watching replays with the people you play against is one of the best ways to improve.

I've watched as many replays as I have played games in the last 9 years.

Would you not play SC1 when it was released just because there were no replays at version 1.00? Come on. Release the game already, it is goon enough.

I didn't play WC3 and that was a big reason.

When SC was released there was no rts with replay option it was a new concept. Most players were SP then, and discover mp with SC, much more popular then War2, or any other mp.

Im convinced that BW would be long dead with no replays to be honest. And not being able to watch and comment with friends is pretty bad considering that most of the time thats the way to share interesting non pro replays, im not gonna download the BO3 between X e Y but if X comes and tell me on bnet: "hey i just won against Y wanna watch?" i almost sure going to watch with him.

From an international esports perspective, this makes little sense. If we really can get into a situation with very minimal lantency then live stream generally sucks ass. Things like the TSL couldn't be broadcast live due to potential latency issues. Replays were an easy way to work around this and allowed the games to be played lag free while also ensuring a lag free cast. Sure there was the delay, but after the initial "omg its a replay" no one cared that it was a rep.

That, in addition to everything else said really pisses me off =[

Rewinding in replays is a new feature that would be useful to help analyze games. Watching replays online is an old feature, assumed to be carried through, which is ESSENTIAL in analyzing games (and just generally enjoying the beauty of SC)

Can anyone please confirm they are at least fixing for SC2 the map issue war3 has with replays? I was assuming they are, but now that they're doing this, I can't be sure about anything anymore.

You did not understand any of posts here. We want to watch replays online with friends! That's one of the best things to do lol. It's just as if Blizz said "hey Tasteless, Artosis, Day[9] - in SC2 you CAN'T commentate pro games, we don't want to have commentators in SC2". Plain sucky. Man, i agree with most ppl - screw LAN but hell, reps with friends, is this REALLY so hard to implement? :/
I sometimes gather with my SC-playing friends on bn and we just watch reps and analyse them, it's just fun and SC2 won't have that option, it sux sux sux :/


This news just screwed my day


Come on, SC replay system was IMO better than WC3 one and now SC2 system is gonna be even worse than either SC or WC3's one :|

That wasn't really the point though.

The SC 2 team got two lists: the first one is a to-do-list, all things on that list needs to be in the game at launch. The second list is a wish list, things on that list are what the SC 2 team wants to add beyond the launch, whether it is in patches or expansions.

Now, the SC 2 team saw that the rewind feature was heavily requested so they put that feature on the to-do-list, while the online replay feature wasn't requested for as much so it went to the wish list.

I'm sure that if people start to request that feature in a polite and constructive manner; that they will add that into the game in one of the earlier patches.

It's not just no multiplayer replays, it's no multiplayer replays while the game is brand new and they are vital to people learning the game with each other. Adding it later is fine and all, but that won't make up for it not being there when people want to use it most - when they don't grasp the game and want to exchange knowledge with each other over the games they have played. This is a very disappointing move
