Sprites in Hd? Not sure how that will look

thekhurg2820d ago

Someone already did this as a mod for sc2. It's wonderful. Not sure if they ever completed it all but what I played several years ago was flawless.

2pacalypsenow2820d ago

If its a remake with the SC2 engine that would work idk about just a remaster with higher res

BitbyDeath2820d ago

Thought it said Starhawk for a second there. Damn.

Daver2820d ago

I thought it was call starcraft 2

Shubhendu_Singh2820d ago

As much as I love Starcraft 2,
The Story of Starcraft 1 and BroodWar is far far superior to SC2.

I envy the guy who would be playing SC1+BW for the first time when this gets remastered.

Sciurus_vulgaris2820d ago

Starcraft 2 story really went south from Heart of The Swarm on wards. Silly retcons, ruined the Zerg and Overmind back story and the introduction of 'space magic' was just lame.

vallencer2820d ago (Edited 2820d ago )

I miss the music the most. Sc2 has good music but it's nothing like the original. My God that game was amazing. I do know that you can switch the music in the menus to sc1 and brood war. But while it is amazing it just doesn't fit because it's still not the original game.

ONESHOTV22820d ago

good joke but starcraft 2 was it's own game

Shubhendu_Singh2820d ago

YES. YEAAASS !
Goddamn I can't wait to play this again. (like I need an excuse)

Now c'mon Blizzard. Do a Warcraft 1,2 and 3 remake/remastered too.

CorndogBurglar2820d ago

I would rather they come out with Warcraft 4 before remastering the old ones, considering how long its been since Warcraft 3.

But yeah, I would take a remastered WC 1-3 also :)

OpieWinston2820d ago

Blizzard please announce a WC 1-3 Remaster as well.

VJGenova2820d ago

Diablo 1 + hellfire redux too please! Does sierra even exist anymore? Sure they could get hellfire cheap.

CorndogBurglar2820d ago

One of my favorite games of all time.

Just release it with the level editor and everything, like the OG please.

ONESHOTV22820d ago

man i had a lot of fun with the level editor i would spend hours creating a custom scenario

It Seems Pretty Clear Why StarCraft 3 is Not a Thing Yet

Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.

They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.

Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.

Jingsing160d ago

The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.

What needs to change in the RTS Genre

RTS; it's a beloved genre...but it's in dire need of originality or it risks being consigned to a small pool of fans.

In my opinion, they have evolved and become more complicated. Way back in the day with command and conquer games, they were easier to pick up and play. I’ll actually go further back to a $70 Super Nintendo game called “Metal Marines”. Not sure if I’m off the mark, but these cellphone, real time strategy games become overwhelming quickly to me. There’s too much going on at once and it turns me off. Not sure if there are any on consoles to be honest. If there is a RTS that is on PS4, I’m open to the recommendation

waderae1137d ago

Metal marines... what a game, and Herzog Zwei too.

Ensemble Studios and Westwood closing spelt absolute disaster for RTS games, with exception of blizzard, no one made any real good ones. Microsoft and EA ruined two top franchises before closing the studio. such a shame

BenRC011136d ago

Over complicated. Dawn of War 1 was almost the perfect rts, its all been downhill since.
