[Mutagenic]

It let me boot it up, but it looks like it's the legacy version lol.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Showed on my launcher, 4GB.

I am sure they didn't said anything about the cinematics because we are going to be surprised by the all new remade cinematics.

They are re-rendered at 1080p and the convos are done over comic-book style scenes, iirc

 

[FriskyrumX]

Just got an update for about 800MB on the blizzard app for Starcraft.

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOO

Yep, still regular-ass starcraft. I guess they'll push the hd patch in the next hour.

nevermind, there it goes!

 

[StayDead]

THE GAME IS OUT!

 

[Mutagenic]

The update has now made the HD playable.

 

[FriskyrumX]

Dude I'm literally Freaking out pressing F5 in the Menus.. oh my god.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Real-Time Lighting needs 2.2GB of VRAM or else you can´t activate it. How does it look?

 

[bounchfx]

please tell me: are Custom Games back? or just the main title?

 

[FriskyrumX]

I just checked it out, it's pretty good!

please tell me: are Custom Games back? or just the main title?

Everything is back.

Really? That's unexpected. I think I just barely meet that requirement with my GPU. We'll see once I finish installing.

Yep, custom games are still here. Same as ever. They work as they always have.

 

[Woorloog]

Everything. Remastered is a graphics layer update, 99% of old stuff works still. Or should, anyway.

 

[Mutagenic]

Oh man, I set the command center rally point on minerals, and SCVs just sit at the minerals instead of automatically mining. I forgot how to do all this.

Edit: Nvm, I guess the original SC never had auto-mining. I don't remember that at all.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I really hope you guys enjoy this remaster! My PC is busted so I'm not gonna be able to play for a very long time.

God damn. Who would have thought fucking Starcraft would be the game that makes me need to upgrade from my 760.

oh shit, so wait, does this mean remastered can crossplay with non-remastered players? because if so that's awesome. I missed that info

 

[calder]

Surreptitiously watching the twitch stream on my phone... day9, tastless and artosis and i'm losing my mind it's so awesome why am i at work


EDIT: this is bullshit smh nerf lurkers now smh

 

[AndersK]

WE DONE HIT PAYDIRT

 

[ScOULaris]

God damn. Who would have thought fucking Starcraft would be the game that makes me need to upgrade from my 760.

Noooooooo. My GPU doesn't make the grade for dynamic lighting. How disappointing.

I might have to upgrade just for this too.

 

[AndersK]

This game looks better than starcraft 2. Holy shit

 

[fluffydelusions]

This game looks better than starcraft 2. Holy shit

I wonder if it will eclipse the sc2 playerbase lol

 

[Mutagenic]

They zoomed in a little and I don't think realized it.

 

[AndersK]

Obviously it technically doesn't, but I'm seriously wowed.

Edit: THE MUSIC

AAAAAAAHHHH

 

[FriskyrumX]

Dude the nostalgia, my childhood, I can't handle this man.

 

[AndersK]

Oh Man I'm gonna suck at this until I remember rally points don't mine and the 12 group limit.

 

[deoee]

The match I'm watching right now is better than the last years of SC2

 

[Rizific]

If I'm only interested in the single player campaign, should I play SC or sc2? Don't care about story, just want a fun campaign

 

[FriskyrumX]

Man I'll forever love Tastosis/Day9. Always got me laughing my ass off.

 

[capitalCORN]

Both have fun campaigns worth playing through. Go nuts!

1 is harder, but very good.

2 is honestly better, if you Only care about the gameplay. Missions are incredibly varied. Anything else, 1 does mostly better.

 

[Syf]

Just gorgeous. They totally nailed this.

 

[deoee]

For me SC1 >>> SC2 but I have only played Vanilla of SC2

 

[Tahnit]

Need word on how this looks at 1440p!

 

[nkarafo]

So

Is the music re-arranged or not?

Is there any place we can listen to it?

 

[zonq]

The stream's sitting cozily at 20k viewer, awesome! I hope it goes up even further

thanks all. i only have vanilla sc2 and never really played sc1. ill pick up sc1 anyways.

 

[AndersK]

Oh. My. God. F5 toggles the old graphics real time.

 

[capitalCORN]

Man I'll forever love Tastosis/Day9. Always got me laughing my ass off.

Don't forget the short but brilliant casting career of Superdanielman. I still remember....

 

[Foxy the Fox]

Welp, every time I try to see the cinematic intro of SC and Broodwar, the game crashes

OSX btw.

 

[Syf]

It's the resampled original soundtrack that's in SC2, thankfully. Apparently they listened to the feedback about not wanting the alternate take they posted a while back.

Sucks. Maybe post that in the bugs forum.

 

[Cels]

where are they playing this

bizarre decor

Just tried campaign and a custom offline and music is the original soundtrack thank goodness!

I've come across two annoying bugs at least on macOS - every time I launch the game from the Blizzard launcher, it launches in a tiny window even though I've set the game to launch in full screen. I can fix this by changing it from fullscreen to windowed to fullscreen back again but it happens every time I start the game.

The second bug is that if I use the keyboard arrows to move around the map then immediately try and use my mouse or trackpad, the cursor gets stuck - I have to wait a second after I stop moving around the map with the keyboard and then move the mouse. If I use only the mouse to move around the map, then there isn't an issue.

That's too bad. I wouldn't mind listening to a higher quality - re-arranged SC1 OST. Besides, if i didn't like it i could probably just change it with the original music, seems you can do that in the game with the graphics already.

The re-sampled original soundtrack is still low fidelity.

 

[Lagunamov]

I cannnot open the options menu

 

[StrikeFirst117]

OK I never got to play this properly and I severely regret it, this remaster is fantastic and the realtime F5 to switch between before and then is crazy and cool to compare them from time to time.

 

[Woorloog]

Scroll wheel is zoom.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Having issues installing. When it's finishing up, it says there's some error. Try updating again, comes up with the error.

 

[deoee]

Now we need Command & Conquer remasters

 

[FriskyrumX]

Now we need Command & Conquer remasters

Gimme Zero Hour all day.

 

[Cheezeman3000]

I just now saw the preorder bonus thing for the first time.

Does that mean I now forever miss out on the preorder skins because I happened to not see anything about the game or its release date until now?

Because seriously fuck that shit. Not buying now.
