And we're even going through the old cinematics and upscaling them, and remastering the sound and everything.
I wouldn't say it's a full new game because the gameplay is exactly the same as how it's been for 20 years, but when you look at it, you go, 'man this is totally a new experience.'īS: All of the artwork in the game, all the menus are brand new and have been remade. It's a lot more than just a small content patch. GD: I think when you see the 4K sprites, you start to understand the volume of work that was done here.
#Starcraft remastered changes Patch
GS: Were there any thoughts of implementing this as a patch instead of rebranding it as StarCraft Remastered in order to push out all these assets, like 4K and matchmaking? So, this is one of those times where we could really make it shine again. But again, you go to these tournaments and they're showing a 640x480 resolution screen up there and it doesn't really hold up.
#Starcraft remastered changes upgrade
People are still playing this game, and why aren't we the ones that are supporting it? And as we did this, we're thinking, 'why don't we do a whole upgrade pass on it too and see if we could keep the aesthetic, and play the HD and SD versions.' We're not changing any of the gameplay because that's why people are playing it. I think we haven't had a patch since eight years ago. Then, it kind of became a bigger thing of 'hey, let's give it a refresh in terms of the graphics and other things.' That was the motivation behind it.īrian Sousa: It's amazing that after almost 20 years people are still playing this game, and I think Blizzard could have stepped in a little bit earlier to keep supporting StarCraft. Grant Davies: I think StarCraft has been such a huge and influential game over the years and it lives large in so many people's memories that after 20 years, the time felt right to circle back to this franchise and fix some of the issues, like working on modern operating systems. GameSpot: What was the impetus for doing StarCraft Remastered? We also sat down and spoke with Grant Davies (Senior Software Engineer) and Brian Sousa (Senior Artist) to get more insight on StarCraft's path to the current generation. And while there are no changes to the tried-and-true gameplay, new graphics and quality of life changes will give fans a reason to jump back or keep playing StarCraft. With StarCraft Remastered on the horizon, GameSpot had the opportunity to play the modernized version of the iconic real-time strategy game at Blizzard's StarCraft Remastered Summit last month.
