StarCraft Remastered - Releasing Summer 2017

[Kokolums]

Wow. I will definitely get this.

If they do a Diablo 2 remastered, I will vanish into a video game black hole for months lol.

A Starcraft related post on mmo-champions? Thats a first!

[Kokolums]

I don't get it... they could have used the current graphics and engine from SC2 and with a bit of effort and artwork could have applied it to the original.

I dunno. There are definitely certain strats in SC1 that require the original style. Not so sure theyd work in the SC2 engine.

If you want a tough SC1 challenge. Solo play, pick terran, map is bridge to bridge combat 98, play vs 5 CPUs and set to free for all. Try to beat THAT!

All those ppl who worked for the remaster could have been working on a new game. Damn... in our faces!

Why with how picky the gaming community is now, most devs take the safe route and remaster their older IP's.. And on that there was talk as to why we have yet to see HL3 and one of the responses from Gabe Newell was that they were hesitant in doing HL3 for fear of what sort of reception it would get..

I hope it will have 3440x1440 Ultrawide support. Not like Overwatch :/

Blizzard: What should we do next?
Random Joe: how about something NEW?
Blizzard: Yeah, lets remade SC with better graphic.
Random Joe: *Biggest Facepalm in the Universe*

So glad I quit Blizz games. Fuckin cash grabbing for years since they've run out of original ideas.

My brother will be over the moon! I myself never got into the original Starcraft, but can imagine this is something a lot of people will enjoy.

Now watch other people bitch and whine for months on end, proclaiming how they've "quit" Blizzard games yet they're here complaining at every chance they get about; Blizzard games.

So, they did Hearthstone, HotS and Overwatch.. no new games, right?
*Bigges facepalm in the universe for you, sir*

Not sure why people are complaining on the remaster... There's tons of remastered titles way before this. They're available everywhere so it's not really that much of a new thing for a "money-grab" because back in the late 90s gaming wasn't a widespread luxury so not everyone played them.

Still if they do carry on, I hope they get round to the Warcraft titles as because right now they aren't able to play in certain setups.

Well after seeing this news and the replies in this thread I am not surprised at all.. I bet if Blizzard ever went under there would be dancing in the streets since there is so much hate for Blizzard seems to be a new international sport..

Even if Blizzard did the same ones complaining about the SC remaster will complain about the WC remaster..

Seems Blizzard just gave up. Recycle, rehash, recombine.

[Thrackerzod]

Never really cared for Starcraft, but wake me when Diablo Remastered is out.

[chase_the_mofo]

You wont see remastered Diablo2 because it would kill that diablo 3 playerbase instantly

[micwini]

Don't see the difference. You guys seriously getting hyped about paying for the exact same game again? lol

Just thought I would leave this here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...o_game_remakes.. Seems that no one bats an eyelid if another company does a remake/remaster of one of their games.. But if Blizzard do it then it is all out with the torches and pitchforks and marching on Blizz HQ..

[Igi]

Don't like it? GTFO. No one is forcing you to play.

Personally i really hope it will be just some kind of patch for people that already have that game added to the Battlenet. Sadly we all know Blizzard greed and they will charge probably atleast 40$ for this...

Realistically, the HD remaster will only appeal to two kinds of players; curious millennials who never got to experience the greatness that was the Starcraft 1 campaign, and Korean players (professional or otherwise) who are going to want the latest, most polished version of their national sport.

Nowadays, your average vintage game costs no more than five or ten bucks. If Blizzard were to set the price of the remaster too high, they would immediately alienate the curious camp, who would fall back on the free version. So, my money is on Starcraft HD costing no more than 20$, if that.

Without even a blink if I don't have to do shamanic dance to make it work on modern hardware.
