Forums - PC Discussion - Starcraft : Broodwar Remaster to be announced 25/3/17

The original Starcraft Anthology is currently "Sold Out" on blizzard official store site, very strange considering it is a digital download.

Speculation is Blizzard will announce a BW remaster at their Starcraft 19th anniversary celebration event next Saturday in South Korea.Most likely time during the event for the announcement is 10PM - 10.45 PM PDT.

Event Details

 

Part 1: THE LEGEND

Since its release in 1998, StarCraft has been weaving your past and present together: 19 years of fond memories within the Koprulu Sector — playing StarCraft with friends or at LAN parties, discussing strategies, practicing your micro and macro, and watching the rise of the new heroes we cheer for in tournaments, LANs, and BarCrafts — has elevated StarCraft to an experience that every generation can share and enjoy together, even all these years later. Your continued passion, support, and dedication are the reason StarCraft has become so much more than just a game.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make this happen and celebrate StarCraft’s 19th anniversary together.

Im still trying to figure out if mobas killed the competitive scene or if sc2 was just that bad that it did the job for them. Inb4 b-b-b-ut good critic reviews.

MOBAS killed RTS.People want dumbed down games now.Even SC2 wasn't dumbed down enough for the masses these days although i admit i mostly played UMS on it.SC2 main game i always thought was overrated.Didn't like the way blizzard went about balancing the game.

Well sc2 appeared to be designed for the masses as opposed the comp scene. Which is fine because its a business first and foremost. Whiletrue mobas are very much dumbed down theyre also more appealing to the masses. The concept of mechanical outplays in 1v1s and teamfights are more visually appealing to the layperson than say the complex strategies you will see in SC.

MOBAs are like RTS where you have team-mates and are forced to work together.

Id argue that some moba require just as much skill as most RTS's.

In RTS you "gamble" and try differnt strategies off, and usually thats it..... There is less "luck" factor in MOBA than RTS's.
