SC: RM Feedback/Inconsistencies Mega-Thread

[Robear]

Oh shit, looks like a lot of the portraits are available on the bnet forums. They look.... mixed.

BC and Hydra are the best because they're dark. The drone is also spot-on...



But the Zergling is not good. At all.

Hmmmm, must assimiliate new information. Not sure what to think.

Also, nice patch notes. Looking forward to it.

Who would of that that a remaster of SCBW would get me possibly more excited than the mission packs.

This is potentially the best thing to happen to Starcraft in 10 years.

Harsh ... but, possibly true. We shall see how little they mess up.

Also, I'm going to change my last statement back to the original 'more excited than HotS and LotV' since that might even be true.

NO. BAD BLIZZARD. GET IN YOUR CORNER.

*sigh*

I just want them to leave the old stuff alone. I liked the art style the way it was. On the plus side, maybe this'll get people playing the original again, maybe get the newbies up to speed on why the original was so good.

I share your love of the old art style/atmosphere. I think some of the portraits are encouraging, even if they are still missing out on the subtleties that make them atmospheric and visceral. Keep a note though that all of the portraits are still drawings, they don't have the digital realism that they will hopefully have when released.

With the portrait Pete Stilwell is using in that forum link for instance, the skin/body of the archon is actually visible, instead of in SC1 where just the outline was visible but clouded by smoke.

You can always go back to the old client. This new stuff is for people that want a modern Battle.net for SCBW, and, if it delivers on that, it is worth it. Not much more damage can be done to SCBW that hasn't already been done, the worst that can happen is that we ignore the remake for story.

Is it just me, or did some of the portraits get darker these past few days? That sounds crazy.

While the Zergling looks too different from the original, I would still say it's a good sign that the carapace seems to follow the SC1 style well. I'd also note that this Zergling is a drawing, and not what the mobile portrait will look like (hopefully)

By the way, I NEVER noticed the big, buggy, red eyes on the drone. I think the original background was a similar shade of red so I saw them as not having eyes. Interesting.

That's pretty funny to me, since it had an animation where it blinks. :P
