StarCraft: Remastered - New vs Old Character Portraits Comparison Videos

LurkerPrime said:
I don't like how inconsistent the interpretations are. Some are straight 1:1 ports of the SC1 portrait, others follow SC2's changes, and some are just, like, wtf, why not.

I'd prefer they either re-interpret all of them, SC2ify them, or stay faithful all the way through. Consistency is key. I haven't looked at the new models, but I don't see how they can avoid fundamentally changing some of them considering a few of these portrait changes.

I agree. Artanis looks completely different between SC1 and SC2, and they've chosen to SC2-ify his portrait, but he'll presumably still look simple and green
is the way you're making me feel tonight
in the campaign CG cutscenes, so it's all weird.
 
Does the remake include Brood War? Or is that something we can expect to toss out a few more bucks for down the road.

Yes I always put eyeliner and mascara before going to war with aliens in space.
 
Pretty sure the old cutscenes are said to be re-rendered, since they found the originals from someone's home.

So, same stuff but in modern resolutions.

EDIT SC wiki notes them being 1080p but doesn't have direct citation. Still, i'm pretty sure that's correct since i recall reading that in one article.
 
How about...
|OT| Evolution Complete
|OT| Upgrade Complete
|OT| Research Complete

Or just classic
|OT| Power Overwhelming
 
I still like their "Evolution Complete" but plenty of good options with all the memorable quotes to choose from. Just please not ded gaem, we had more than enough of that meme in SC2.
 
TVTropes notes that the original's tagline in France (where it was distributed by Ubisoft) was "Only Blizzard could reinvent the RTS".

Amusingly, that might work here.

"Enhanced Storytelling: Original cinematics will be improved to 1080p resolution, while mission interludes and introductions will feature new comic-book style illustrations."

Was said when it was announced, so yeah. :P
 
Really don't like Stukov, Raynor and Mengsk...but the rest range from decent to pretty good. Firebats at least look good imo, they got my important one right! 😁
 
woa...that raynor looks like shit, the ghost is also a massive downgrade compared to the original lighting.

edit: wtf kerrigan , wtf stukov
 
I don't know if this was mentioned before, but Blizzard is currently holding a portrait contest where fans can submit their own versions. It's mostly just a standard contest where people can win prices but the real interesting bit comes at the end:

Dev Team's Choice Winner:

In addition to the Community Choice winners discussed above, the Dev team will also choose their personal favorite from amongst the finalists. This portrait will then be implemented directly into the StarCraft: Remastered client for players to select and use as their own throughout the game. If they have not already done so, this winner will also be awarded with a signed copy of StarCraft: Remastered and a shirt of their choosing (race).

So apparently will you be able to choose different portraits and I'd be very surprised if Blizzard wont offer some alternatives themselves.

Are they talking about Battle.net avatars? That's the impression I'm getting there.

Would make sense for it to be avatars.

StarCraft Remastered |OT| Are you prepared to go all the way with this, Alexei?
StarCraft Remastered |OT| Flash in the pan
StarCraft Remastered |OT| This is not WarCraft in space!
 
From the adnormal cavemen primitive faces in the original to the generic soulless faces in the remaster, I'd say hopes were not high to begin with.
 
I still like (mine):

Starcraft Remastered |OT| It's much more sophisticated

NinjaEdit: Oh, the last time I mentioned it was still on this page... welp. My bad.
 
Okay! I should be posting the OT later today or tonight! Whatever time they let me leave the hospital. I've been on mobile this whole time.

Please forgive me on how it looks! My computer broke which had the original finished things so I've had to use shoddy versions of it from my tablet.
 
Looking forward to it. Hyped to finally get going on this tomorrow. Hope my wrists will forgive me when I'm still playing at 4 AM on Tuesday lol.
 
Wow, a lot of those really suck. I always hated Starcraft 2's style, and Blizzard is clearly going for more of that. Any word on the voice acting? I would hate for that to be butchered too.
