Blizzard Remasters Warcraft III, Releases 2019 as Warcraft III: Reforged

Wow. Why do some people insist on complaining about everything? Do you have little else to do?..

I think this is great! Hoping they do Warcraft 1 and 2 as well and use the same engine.

Pointing out observations of people complaining is not the same as complaining itself.

Man this js just easy money!

Annnnnd the eventual remaster of WOW!

Bring them all on, IMO. The world can use games that put gameplay first.

Let's be honest, the only reason Blizzard can redo these and make it profitable is because of the many years of work they already put in with each vanilla release. Even to this day there is patch love for ancient titles.

People are different. No matter who's doing what there will be a group of individuals who won't like it. I for example am absolutely full of these remasters and "factory-made n+1th copysodes of the same old" games. I like to see real creative work put into things because having a remaster instead is like longing for used to be. It will never be the same as before, the only thing you can get is a pale reminder of past experiences wrapped around with nostalgia. Go forth! Be bold! Let us have Warcraft 4 instead!

we were waiting for Diablo 4 disappointed.

True, but what you did was complaining.

@blizzard, minimal effort - maximum profit, must be nice to have a legion of fanboys that will eat everything you crap out.

WoW Classic is due for 2019.

Yeah, he missed one, lol

Oh boy. It really is quite pathetic I have to admit. They know Warcraft 4 RTS with new story would be a game of the year almost promised, not sure if they just are holding on to that idea for when sales start falling bad on all fronts, or what... but I really hate this tactic of re-hashing the 3 main IP's, and imo Overwatch was not classical Blizzard either, was cash grab Blizzard, maybe Blizzard just doesn't have enough of the original employees anymore to really garner any of my respect anymore and its just time for me to move on. /shrug

Pre-ordered immediately, i WANT game companies to do this - upgrade the big popular games to work on modern PC's, and get some money to give us the sequels we want

Look at how Command and Conquer was destroyed by EA, and then look at how this is working out. I know which method i prefer.

I still would prefer Warcraft 4 RTS.

Looking forward to Reforged as I've only played WC3 once. Did like it... just didn't have the time, at that time, to be online/replay as much I had for virtually all Blizzard games before it.

Warcraft 3 does work properly though, and even looks pretty decent still. And they still release bugfixes for it, so it's not like it's completely dead. I mean I'm not complaining but it's really not necesary in the same way C&C is.

They should redo the story of Warcraft 1 and 2 with a modern game engine.

There was a story in Warcraft 1 and 2? Haha, I don't even remember it.

The risk of that becoming a shameless Starcraft 2 with a fantasy setting is very real I think. Warcraft 3 already has so many super good mechanics and balance + flow, its hard to improve upon without making it akin to something else. Or it can go the other direction and become something like Dawn of War 3, which was effectively a MOBA with some fodder called units - if you've played that, you know its no way to do an RTS...

lexluthermiester said:

His point was the irony pointed out towards your complaining in https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...craft-iii-reforged.249189/page-2#post-3935152 and your failure to pick up on it.

Haha same here, all I know is that I wanted to build units and some of them were green orcs.

Your point don't make any sense .
Is in more high definition what you want?
Unreal engine 4 when every game blizzard have done so far where capable of running even on potato pc because they sell more?
Candy eye not candy man.

TheGuruStud · Nov 4, 2018

No comments on Immortal disaster? Blizzard is dead. Never give them a cent, now. It's time to move on. Reminds me of Konami.

Shame. It actually had a pretty good story behind it if you actually listened to the full mission briefings. A lot (not all,) of the places mentioned in WoW and Warcraft 3 were actually from the earlier games as well.

Aye totes. I loved them.

I would honestly like to see Blackthorne again.

It's so much more than Arthas being an axxhole. It's one of the finest character developments of gaming history ever.

I loved Uther, too, with all his paternal complacency.
