Hello All
I think It's quite obvious the evidence is heavily in favor of a Warcraft 3 remake and I still yet have not found 1 valid reason on why Blizzard started updating War3 other than remaster. So for purpose of this thread let's assume a remake is in the works tho if you believe this not be the case feel free to message me.
My question is what you think the Remake will have? and What do you want the remake to have or not have? There a lot of people far more experienced with Warcraft 3 than me so I'm quite interested in your opinion. I ll just state the obvious ones to make it easier for you.
Also note: I'm assuming it's most likely a remake/remaster and not Warcraft 4 since with the current RTS market and fear of the fact that current Warcraft 3 veteran fans don't want change and just want nostalgia so it's quite likely that Blizzard won't touch the game's mechanics and will just remake the game. Also conflict with WoW is another valid reason.
EXPECTATIONS:
What will Blizzard most likely Include in the Remaster/Remake?
- HD Models and remake of the graphics so it fits modern standards. (tho It will cause trouble with already created models and maps at hive).
- Better Platform which allows for hosting of custom maps, ranked matches and chat with friends.
- Better connection and servers, possible removal of bots.
- Some sorta of MTX or in game store for cosmetic items so the game has longevity financially unlike it's predecessor
- Some new maps and balance changes to melee.
- Removal of LAN hosting
- Updates to the game after lunch.
HOPES:
Now for the top I just assumed Blizzard will go for the most cash-grab scenario which is quite likely, however down here is what I also want it to include tho it's unlikely:
- Possible Extra campaigns. Not really following of WoW story-line, not also conflicting with WoW story line. But rather prequels which add to the stories campaign. Like for example Scarlet Crusade. There are tons of stories in the second and Third War Blizzard can put in. I think this scenario is more likely if they make a new campaign.
- Remake of the original campaigns so they are updated with modern standards (graphics and sound wise). Possible extra additions to them. e.g more details on siege of Silvermoon
- Updates to the game engine so it's more functional and crashes less while also re-engineering the terrain engine to make path-finding easier
- Updates to the editor so it had more features while also adding the option to make it more functional without the need to rely on third-party programs
- A Hosting system for custom maps which makes finding them easier but unlike Starcraft it does not only feature the most popular ones but also adds room for newly added maps to be tested and shine if they are good. Also a much larger size for custom maps to be hosted on battle-net.
- Possible room for Modders to collab with Blizzard and make their maps monetized with cosmetics if their maps are quit well done and popular. Kinda like what they done recently to Starcraft 2.
- New models and possibly 1 or 2 new custom maps created by Blizzard themselves like Azeroth grand prix
- Some love to custom map community while also some updates to the game's soundtracks as well as maybe adding some new ones.
Let me know where I'm wrong and what you reckon Warcraft 3 remake/remaster will have? Also speculate on the time of release or announcement as well if you can.
Thanks
