StarCraft Remastered

[Eat_Bacon_Daily]

For anyone interested in some SC1 Fun Facts
There are a 4 secret missions in the SC1 campaign. 3 of them involve Stukov coming back to life, one of which is only obtainable through the N64 version of StarCraft. The other secret mission can only be obtained by finishing the 9th zerg mission within a certain time frame.
Source: StarCraft Secret Missions
Would be cool if they added the N64 mission officially with voice overs in SC:R.

Also there are 2 unused StarCraft 1 missions that have voice overs, here they are if you are curious

You get bug fixes and improvements, including the ability to rebind keys; observer mode; modern anti-cheat measures; compatibility improvements for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10; and more.

Couldn't they just included all the remastered stuff into a patch? Why make and ship a new "Edition" for something that was supposed to be part of the game from the start.

Part of the game from start? I don't think they ever dreamed about 4k resolution in 1998, or it wouldn't need remaster and redoing sprites from the start. Anyway its called business, there is absolutely no motivation to do this 4k resolution thing for a company if they release it for free then. Also i doubt the original 1998 version could handle the whole thing, that would be a massive patch. Don't misunderstand me, I would be happy with the free patch too, but I understand they took many work in this remaster and won't just giveaway it for free, it would be wasted time for them. And telling just because you have a ~20 year old game (that you can buy for a maximum of 3 euro now) you are entitled for this remaster is kinda off.

"free-patch won't include matchmaking" I'm sure it will , or you couldn't play together with the remastered version.

Free-patch comes this week I've read. Matchmaking is said to come when SC:R is released.

Edit: It's localized in Japanese! (SC:R)

Localized in 13 Languages: English, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (LatAm), Spanish (European), Polish, Italian, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese

 

[Hotwer]

Will there be redub in all localized languages?

Got a Starcraft tattoo today to celebrate.

Not really, booked it 3 months ago. Coincidence?
I can actually predict the future.

Wen is it & will it work on the free downloaded version ov the same game as this thread here

I got some pretty worrying news for our little map maker community.
Because I expect any features that hits StarCraft 1's battles net will likely be carried over to WarCraft III, i've been looking at the upcomming patch BETA information and I saw this

According to this image, Blizzard seems like they are planning on adding a "popular games" tab, which would be a terrible thing for the Map Maker community if it hit WarCraft. This would separate the already few BNet players into smaller factions, but more importantly choke out up and coming maps, just like it did in StarCraft and DOTA 2. Hope you like DOTA, Legion TD and Footmen Frenzy because that's all you'll get! "But can't you just ignore that tab". You can, but many won't.

Perhaps i'm going overly dramatic, but I just kind of feel that if there is no push back from this feature early on, there will be no stopping it.

I dont think most of these remastered things were intended into the game back in 1998. About the shipping, I suppose its fair enough to say that if copies get sold nowadays that they are compatible with modern hard and software.

Why did I just hear about this? THIS IS AMAZING.

Also, I've looked all over but cannot seem to find if the Patch/Remastered has gone live, and if so where. They all say "later this week"...

I do not understand your question.

I suggest you visit the official StarCraft forums, to see if this release suits you and your computer.
