We’ve only spent 18 months trying to refamiliarize ourselves with the game, so we’ll let them take the lead on that, as to say the things that they want to see.” They’re so talented at the game, more so than us. “I think there’s probably some room, as we move forward, to start exploring some of these other ideas, and really just hearing from the community as to what they want. we didn’t have it before, that were really allergic to the idea. Morris mentioned how the community had become more receptive to the idea of change after the announcement of StarCraft: Remastered: “I can see how anybody would want to say, 'Well, maybe you could go just a little bit further’ and they’re just wanting to see how far we can turn these knobs. While there was no question that faithfulness to Brood War was the guiding principle behind StarCraft: Remastered up to this point, the two developers cautiously suggested that the community could push for change after release. “It’s probably a game that they look at as, ‘Eh, just not gonna go step back there.’ But this is an opportunity now, because it has the modernizations that we put into it, that hopefully it appeals. “There’s probably a huge portion of new gamers that play the game that hear about StarCraft, hear the stories about esports, but they’ve never really played it,” said Morris, who was a member of the original StarCraft team and joined the Remastered team midway. Stilwell and Morris hope these improvements will give new players a reason to stick around. Automated matchmaking, a revamped ladder/ranking system, and an improved chatting interface give Remastered many of the conveniences contemporary gamers have come to expect. While StarCraft: Remastered refuses to compromise on Brood War’s notorious difficulty, it offers a number of important modern improvements. we kind of had this natural spider-webbing out from the folks that we know and trust in our Blizzard office to bring in community contacts.” And a number that have done really well on Fish, A and B ranked players, a really solid representation of the community. “In our office in Korea, we have a few former pros, like Ki-Bong Kook 'TheBoy' and a few others. They paid particular attention to the Korean community, which has been largely responsible for keeping Brood War popular as a game and esport for over nineteen years. Stilwell explained that feedback from the existing StarCraft: Brood War community was what decided the direction of StarCraft: Remastered. Stilwell told me why ‘modernization’ (which ended up being our codeword for ‘dumbing down’) of the game was quickly shot down: “Even if there was an inkling of that originally, as soon as we really talked to people got the feedback that the fastest way to turn this community off and guarantee that stay with some older version of the game is if you change the game itself. I asked why Blizzard was so dedicated to keeping that aspect of the game. I don’t think that idea ever had legs.Īs a hardcore fan of the original StarCraft, I had often thought the clunky, ancient interface that made Brood War appealing to its loyal fanbase was also what made it daunting for new players.
We got the feedback that the fastest way to turn this community off. And doing this even better would be new players.” Doing this right is keeping the core community happy. “But they tend to be like, more on the stretch goals side of things. This game has a little bit for everybody if you're into RTS games.“ are definitely a factor,” he continued. In my opinion it still holds up today 8 years after it's creation. It's a really difficult game in the later levels of each campaign. If there's one thing I have to give this game above all else.

With each species getting their own storyline that eventually brings everything full circle. It's set up so that the player has to play an individual campaign of each species. Really sets the mood that all three species are at each other's throats in one way or another. Trying to build your base and protect it while building an army for war is a fun challenge.
Each species has their own ups and downs in combat, but that's what makes the game so diverse. Terran are humans, Zerg which are ferocious "Alien" inspired creatures, and Protoss which are unique no mouthed aliens. I have a feeling that most other RTS games would pale in comparison. Starcraft is the only RTS game I need to play. In fact Starcraft and it's expansion have been the only two RTS games I've ever played.
