Warcraft 3 remake on the SC2 engine for the 15th anniversary in 2017

There is no game that I would want more than a remake of Warcraft 3 on the SC2 engine.

 

[roytheone]

I want a Warcraft 4 so bad.

It won't happen, but god would I love it.

I think that now that the StarCraft II trilogy is finally complete, they will start to work on Warcraft IV. It will happen, eventually, but it will probably take quite some time.

 

[zeox]

Also: Didn't some High Res Icons pop up a while back that pointed to a WC3 remake?

I think those were tied to Starcraft 2, as they ported some units over from wc3 so people could use them in custom games. I could be totally wrong on this though

 

[Possumowner]

Minewarcraft....no..warmine..ive got it minecraft,build your own warcraft universe,oh wait

 

[Dmax3901]

I dunno a remake of such an old RTS seems pointless to me. Just make a new one.

 

[Rosur]

Warcraft 1-3 HD announced with release date then also Warcraft 4 announced being in development (as Starcraft 2 is now done)?

 

[Trace]

Warcraft 4 or Warcraft 3 HD. Either one is a day zero purchase for me.

 

[Klart]

WC4 plz. Don't give a rat's arse for grindfests like WoW.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

ITT pretending SC2 engine is good.

 

[Dinskugga]

Please let it be the rumored WC1 WC2 remasters. Or WC4

 

[LurkerPrime]

ITT pretending SC2 engine is good.

It looks pretty, at least. That's all anyone ever wants from remasters.

 

[Trace]

ITT pretending SC2 engine is good.

Just give me WC3 with updated models and a new campaign.

That's all I'm asking for.

Well, and a limit of 500mb+ for custom maps.

 

[StarPlatinumTheWorld]

Warcraft 3 for iPad.

 

[ekim]

Warcraft 4 plz. thank you.

 

[Houndi101]

F2p Warcraft China only

Goddamn amazing first post.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Seems like a no brainier really. You would have to think blizzard would want something to take advantage of the movie releasing next year. I know they have hearthstone and WoW but it would be great timing for something new in that universe.

 

[Rex Griswold]

Watch it be you can use your WoW characters in D3.

Spoiler

I want that. Badly.

 

[Xiaoki]

Would be hilarious if this was just an official announcement for Chinese WoW: Legion.

Make a big announcement about it so they can get Chinese players interested in WoW again because most of WoWs lost subscribers have been from China.

 

[texhnolyze]

Can we still play them though?
Warcraf 1 & 2, I mean. I can't find them on Battlenet.

 

[Atram]

HD Remake from Warcraft Orcs & Humans would make the most sense because of the Movie.

 

[ekim]

Let's go a little bit crazy here:
Considering the movie next year, it's a story driven single-player 3rd person hack&slash like Rune, Die By The Sword and Severance. (original twist: it's open world)

 

[fedexpeon]

ITT pretending SC2 engine is good.

LOL yup.

But hey, if we get to play WC3 in HD, I am fine with the SC2 engine.

 

[maniac-kun]

Well the Dragonball reference could be this:

1. WoW
2. The Burning Crusade
3. Wrath of the Lich King
4. Cataclysm
5. Mists of Pandaria
6. Warlords of Draenor
7. Legion

Game of Warcraft
play it on your phone!

1. WoW
2. The Burning Crusade
3. Wrath of the Lich King
4. Cataclysm
5. Mists of Pandaria
6. Warlords of Draenor
7. Legion

Seven playable races in WC4.
Believe.

 

[Chillz0r]

The movie is going to be based on the first Warcraft sortof, and since they retconned the shit out of the first 2 games for the sake of WoW, a remake of those is the most logical thing. They could even have the film actors dub the ingame characters and stuff.

I very much doubt its W4 unfortunately

 

[zeox]

what's bad about it?

 

[SlickShoes]

World of Warcraft original game level 60 style but stripped back a bit ability wise and now ported to iOS.

Well a WC1 remake is probably the same amount of work as a WC4 (sans the story). I doubt they keep the "select only one unit at a time" and so on.

 

[Hektor]

what's bad about it?

Its performance sucks ass.

 

[Dunkley]

better yet

Pretty sure that's what he was referring to.

And I'd play it.

 

[Sölf]

As much as I want Warcraft IV, I don't see an announcement until 2-3 years after SC 2 has been released and finished. And then at least another 2 years until release. So most likely WC 1-3 remastered or something similar.

 

[HowZatOZ]

'I am back' can very easily be attributed to Illidian's return in Legion. I highly doubt a Warcraft is actually being made, as much as it hurts to say that.

 

[davepoobond]

I doubt it is anything but updating the old game to be able to run on new systems.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

what's bad about it?

it's made to run on near decade old PCs and very CPU intensive, it uses lockstep sync, there's a limit to observer slots,...

 

[zeox]

yeah, I totally forgot about the CPU use. did not know about the lockstep sync and yeah, that really sucks

 

[deleted]

I think those were tied to Starcraft 2, as they ported some units over from wc3 so people could use them in custom games. I could be totally wrong on this though

Ah, that makes more sense actually.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

Well, if they're gonna remake Warcraft 3, they better hurry before someone does it as a dota 2 custom game

 

[Nocturno999]

A rebalanced WC3 HD please.

 

[HellBlazer]

Well, it's not going to be a completely new RTS when Legacy of the Void isn't even out yet. I'd be down for some kind of Warcraft Trilogy Remake though.

 

[Ushay]

I would really like to see a single player Warcraft RPG. Something like WoW with a party and pausing like Dragon Age. Or maybe some kind of Devil May Cry type of game where you play as people like Sylvanas and Thrall.

Now that would be very, very cool.

 

[ayob]

i would like a warcraft 3 remake that's expanded on

For example: Game 1: Warcraft 3 Remake (includes tft)
Expansion 1: All the Lore from WoW expansion's
Expansion 2: New Lore released along side the final WoW expansion

 

[ayob]

Wasn't there a rumor a while ago of warcraft 3 getting ported to the modern battle.net?

 

[Redevil]

WarCraft 4 is just too good to be true.

 

[Magwik]

Hasn't there been talk of a Warcraft 3 remake for a while now?

 

[Xyphie]

I wonder what happened to the game Mike Booth was directing a Blizzard. He left earlier this Summer because it "wasn't a good fit" after working there for about 2 years.

it's made to run on near decade old PCs and very CPU intensive, it uses lockstep sync, there's a limit to observer slots,...

Just out of curiosity, are there any RTS games with Starcraft-esque scale that don't use a lockstep simulation? Non-determinism seems like it would be incredibly messy in such scenarios.

 

[FreezerGeezer]

I'd simply foam at the mouth and pass out if a proper Warcraft 4 was announced.

Make it be...

 

[zoukka]

Can't be Warcraft IV with the Starcraft expansion right around the corner...

But I want it to be... oh so bad.

 

[Apath]

Just give me WC3 with updated models and a new campaign.

That's all I'm asking for.

Well, and a limit of 500mb+ for custom maps.

Yeeaah I think I can do without my WC file taking up half my HDD.

 

[pants]

w3 or w4 RTS please

 

[Skunkers]

Hasn't there been talk of a Warcraft 3 remake for a while now?

Yeah, about a year ago people found that Warcraft 3 icons/backgrounds were added to the Battle.net Launcher; so unless they started working on something and then canceled it, somethings probably coming. At this point I would imagine they'll wait to unveil at BlizzCon.

Edit: Here's an article about the launcher thing:
