The old star craft launched today with a face lift you can play in high def 4k now with redone graphics for 15 usd or you can get the free version that has the old graphics but its been worked up to play on windows 10 brood-wars expansion in included.
I use to love the game my first copy was in 98 and I played it till I destroyed/lost the disk.
Didn’t say that, but the question is if one can even play without battle.net, so even if you have a physical copy and blizz hq gets nuked, are you still able to play without battle.net. I know it worked with the original game, question is how it’s going to be with the remastered.
I was excited about it at first, but I’m not sure I even want it anymore.
Graphics are better, but I’m not sure I could work my way up to “passable.”
Gameplay is completely identical to the original, by design. No rallying drones to resources, no multi-building selection. You know, just the little interface niceties.
Actually I guess that’s pretty much it.
Maybe it’s my fault for expecting too much, but I wanted more from this than a minor facelift. Yeah, yeah, remaster not a remake and all that. I think most people and companies treat these terms as sort of a continuum, if not completely interchangeable, at least in regards to games.
For a lot of people, this is exactly what they wanted. I’m happy for them. It’s just not for me.
