StarCraft: Remastered

[FeelTheRads]

Portrait videoes of all races now. EPIC

Most look good and respect the original portraits but a couple are "wtf". High Templar for example was cooler with the face covered by shadows in the original. And Artanis looks like baby's first Zbrush sculpture. But overall much better than you'd expect from this kind of remakes.

 

[Average Manatee]

Protoss definitely suffer the most. Protoss faces are pretty much interchangable and what set the portraits apart was the environmental cues, but those are all diminished in HD.

Also Queen looks cartoony. Terran all look pretty nice.

 

[trais]

You kiddin'? Terrans look awful, especially the "heroes". Raynor, Kerrigan, Duke and Duran look like dorks, Stukov look like he's been dead for couple of days at least and Mengsk went from charismatic sage to a washed up rockman looks.

Heroes look off for every race, but the terran units are fine. Well, maybe the marine lost some of its character.

Changing everyone's head shape was not a bright call.

Lol Christ you people are just as bad as the nerds on the official forums whining about some Protoss units having blue eyes in new concept art.

fyi for anybody who missed it: Last night's games were awesome. Especially both of Bisu's games.

No mention of Warhammer 40k.

At least somebody knows.

Everybody knows, and NOBODY cares. Literally. Starcraft > Warhammer any day of the week and twice on sunday, bro.

Diablo 2 remaster now pls

 

[RhodokMasterRaceOfficial]

D2:R will probably be the only viable competitor that Path of Exile will ever have.

 

[Quatlo]

I hate this gay sc2-esque artstyle. This shit looks like from a comic book, while sc1 was way darker and gritty. They can fuck themselves.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Protoss were completely butchered with the new art style, predictably so. Terrans are mostly ok. Zerg are surprisingly good sometimes, while unfortunatly some of the most iconic units like Hydralisk went from genuinely nightmarish (in a good way) to comic scare level.

6/10 overall, not impressed but it could have been worse I guess...

 

[Daedalos]

IT's not a new art style, you guys realize that rigth ?

It's the same sprites and graphics, just touched up to 4k.

This is how the game always should have looked, but the tech wasnt there in 1997. So.

The game was gritty, because the sprites and 2d graphics were shitty low res compared to today

I love the remastered graphics, looks so fucking good.

 

[RhodokMasterRaceOfficial]

lmfao has anybody complaining about how the new art is so radically different actually played the original game recently? I mean recently as in before March or so when the remaster was actually confirmed? It looks exactly the fucking same. Y'all are like those other tards on the official forums whining about portraits.

durrhurrrrr the eyes are blueeee

So what about the old cutscenes in the campaigns, anyway? What do they plan to do with them? Redo? Make higher resolutions from the original source files, if possible? Or just leave them as they are?

 

[Alienman]

Wondering that myself. Hopefully they didn't get the Beamdog treatment.

They're either doing next to nothing, or playing whatever they have done very close to their chest.

Blizzard confirmed in an interview a while back, that the cinematics will be upscaled and remastered into 1080p, but not remade or redone in newer gen graphics.

What they are adding tho, are graphical interludes between missions and chapters, to tell the story in more rich detail.

I would have liked remade cinematics, but the old ones still hold up 100 %, so its a non issue

 

[Morgoth]

The Starcraft cutscenes, alongside the Diablo II ones, are despite their technical age still the most suspenseful and atmospheric cutscenes of all Blizzard games, or of any video game for that matter. It really started to go downhill with Warcraft III and onwards.
