Warcraft 2's problem is its core gameplay, not the art assets. The graphics and sounds are what make it worth playing today in the first place and those don't even need a remastering. They're perfect the way they are.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath
Exactly! I just love the look of it! It's like the only cartoony game that I can stand. I think it's because it perfectly juxtaposes the cartoony with the grim. Or it's because I played it as a child when I was more attuned to cartoons. Either way the unit quotes, the narrator, the music makes it a very pleasant experience.

But just take a look from 02:02 here, that's some athmosphere:

Looks like today at 19 CET is some kind of Warcraft 30th anniversary stream. They'll probably show something related to this remaster.

Blizzard went from one of the best studios to one of the biggest shithole companies in the scene. It's just shareholders and their money mixed with ideological woke tranny elve shit. A digusting creature of a studio that does not care an ounce for the culture of videogames since the end of WotLK expansion. Diablo3 was already unredeemable ULTRASHIT and that was already 20 years ago. The likes of Bethesda and Bioware can't even compete with this rapid decline.

Warcraft II is one of the games that didn't age one bit. Neat, clean, readable graphics, simple and usable interface, a godfearing oldschool RTS. It's really fun, together with Diablo (1) they the best Blizzard games. I played both Diablo 1 and Warcraft 2 on release on a Pentium 1 60 MHz PC and these games were as good then as they are now. Remaking/remastering it for the sake of modern audience is disgusting. The modern audience should be fed to rats, in my opinion, along with each and every employee of nu-Blizzard.

Looks like they'll increase the unit selection in Warcraft 2, not sure about 1. Also right click to move in 1. Meh, who cares. It's still the same primitive games with only one faction in two coats of paint.

How many times can Blizzard sell the exact same 5 games?
How many years could it possibly take to come up with a new game?
Will there ever be an end to the mobile menace?
Will players ever realize that they wasted their life and their savings on WOW?

Just bought War 2 Remastered. Looks, sounds, and plays fantastic.

You crybabies can just continue wishing death and destruction onto the game industry, or just have fun playing some good ol' game.
How have they handled the cinematics?

warcraft1 AI upscale. they dont even bother with making lower part of the body - its just a big black shadow. Archers holding xbow with one arm. Or Grunts holding axe like a shopping cart.

I guess they can't see a good way to monetise a RTS game which is why we don't get Warcraft IV or Starcraft III.
