I've seen many comparison images and videos on the internet, but it none of them do justice compared to when you're actually playing in game. Units and buildings show a lot more meticulously detail then ever before, the terrain looks sharp and crisp and the real time lighting effects almost gives the game a new coat of paint. Overall I think Blizzard did a really great job of preserving the classic Starcraft aesthetic while making it feel more exciting and fresh to play.
@MrDgf977 жыл бұрын
best part is, people being confused as to what has changed is what blizzard intended they did an excellent job refining every texture and model to be extremely high quality while maintaining the same old art style only thing i'm not that happy about are some portraits, they took away some of that atmosphere and mystery from terran and protoss
@JoshuaLudwig7 жыл бұрын
100% agree. What I like most about this is when I play I feel like I am playing what I did in highschool. Then I can press F5 and see the original to see just how much went into remastering this. Plus, the bugs and pathing issues of this old game add alot of charm to this remaster.

The autism is on the other foot here. Any normal person takes "remaster" as "oh, they're going to update the game to modern standards and release it again". It takes an autist to think "remaster, not to be confused with remaking a game you stupid normies, is when you keep the same out-dated engine but update the resolution and a few other features that really don't matter". That being said, I really didn't expect much from this remaster after the giant dropped ball that was the Nova mission packs.

Changing engine wouldn't necessary mean changing gameplay, if a designer can abstain from playing around and making it more nowadays like and just stay on course of remaking just the same. I mean, there's noting much to change in gameplay, it's the same in SC2, just the animation is better, and obviously graphics. Look up the Remake and Remaster differences and what they initially mean. It doesn't necessary mean a change of gameplay, it's up to the developers themselves how they approach the "remake".

I've played the original starcraft and its brood war expansion so many times that I'm actually kind of put off by how detailed the models are now. Don't get me wrong, they look fantastic, but they pop out too much, which can serve as a distraction during gameplay. This can be bad because even a small, miniscule second of time wasted can mean a lot in Starcraft, especially if you're playing competitively. The low-res sprites actually made them stand out less, meaning that players are focused more on the management of units and thus on the gameplay. Additionally, I liked how the low-res sprites allowed my mind to fit in what I thought were the details of the ships and buildings and units; having them be this detailed and colored kind of removes that imaginative element, at least to me.
