Who has been long-awaiting a Warcraft 3: refunded patch?
All four remaining players are very happy!
This is cool, but I will wait for the reviews first.
With always online DRM, I’m sure. Fuck you Blizzard.
RIP Warcraft 1 and 2.
RIP Blizzard
I would definitely play Warcraft 2 remastered. I’ve played the version on GOG and it was solid, but a remastered version is always nice.
Haven’t played Warcraft 1 in over 25 years. Wouldn’t mind trying it for fun.
Got into it yesterday, there’s a toggle to switch between old and new graphics during gameplay. And there’s also an option for original or updated music, it was an instant nostalgia kick lol
If the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.
You mean like updating unit selection in Warcraft 2; it is limited to ~9 units per control group from what I remember.
I watched someone stream it and freaked out that they grouped 10 trolls
Orks and humans had no multi select 🙃 apparently they’re adding that in though which might make it playable.
I remember trying to replay Dune 2 a few years ago.
The lack of many QoL/UX refinements made it really difficult to play.
There are open source engine rebuilds for Dune 2 that offer lots of QoL/UX refinements so it is really great to play but at the same time those changes make the game way to easy.
Dune 2 was designed and balanced with the limitations in mind and removing them utterly breaks the difficulty.
Did not know about this about the open source engine rebuild. Will have to try them the next time I feel like playing Dune 2.
I don’t mind the easier difficulty. 😀
There exist a few but I personally had the best results with Dune Legacy: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dunelegacy/
I love the old games but I wish that unit pathing and attacking would’ve been updated a little. Or at least for the remastered version, or have it an option in the settings.
Another thing that always bothered me a bit was the max amount of selected units in many older RTS games. Sometimes it’s limited by the UI too, but they could update that as well.
Guys, it doesn’t look good. They basically just spit-shind it.
I’m still going to get it 🏴☠️ but I’m not holding my breath.
Omggg
