Players can also switch from the upgraded look to the classic one by just simply pressing F5. Granted that this is a remaster of a 1998 real-time strategy game with the core gameplay kept preserved, the improvements were solely on its multiplayer, visuals, audio, and additional features like custom hotkey mapping and the 2.0 integration (yes, it’s not Blizzard App anymore, it’s Blizzard ). Since the balance in StarCraft is already exceptionally great, altering any core gameplay would destroy all of the hard-work done to get to the game’s current state. In my opinion, it was the right thing to do. With Blizzard’s decision to retain the original mechanics and coding, everyone went crazy. Given StarCraft’s popularity especially in South Korea, StarCraft is the suited choice for a remaster. While it’s a given fact that there has been a lot of remaster/remake releases lately, the unstoppable giant studio wants to also make its place in the world of remasters. Initially announced earlier this year, Blizzard took the chance to reveal StarCraft: Remastered. This review is based on a review copy provided by Blizzard. The battle among three races continues: Terran, Zerg, and the Protoss – in high-definition! We have been given lots of remakes and remasters this year such as Patapon Remastered, Voodoo Vince Remastered, WipEout Omega Collection, Crash Bandicoot, and there are still more mention.Ģ017 is the year for remasters and remakes and that does not leave Blizzard’s critically acclaimed StarCraft and its expansion – StarCraft: Brood War – from the mix. Everyone was asking for a StarCraft remaster and now, Blizzard listened and they delivered. “Hell, it’s about time!” – this is the best phrase to complement the epic comeback of the original StarCraft.
