#Starcraft remastered sprites series
The first game of this series appeared in 1998, soon becoming a great hit, and now almost 20 years later, there's a new remastered version. The latter has led to a profitable series of strategy games, including StarCraft. During its first years, it developed successful titles of the likes of The Lost Vikings, and especially Warcraft. I feel so happy playing this game that I’ve gotta stop writing about so I can finish the Terran campaign.The video game development studio, Blizzard Entertainment, was founded back in 1991, although it wasn't known by that name until 1994. This game is absolutely amazing, the voice acting is adorably cheesy and the character designs are incredible. Okay, all that aside and the fact that it’s nearly 20 years old means I can love it worts and all. On the other hand, your own units constantly get hung-up on terrain and occasionally get lost on pathing problems. The game also retained some of the really annoying aspects of old RTS including micromanaging up the wazoo! If you aren’t managing all your resources and your units, you are going to get squished by a really though AI enemy that is constantly testing your defences. By the way, when your units get splattered, they explode in high resolution glory. No hand-holding, no RPG style levelling up of your units, just resource gathering and “zerg rushing” before the AI gets you. I forgot how tough Real Time Strategies were back in the day. Blizzard remastered all the songs and I gotta tell ya, I can’t get the song out of my head during the day. I forgot just how iconic that soundtrack was and it really took me back to my early days of gaming. The only thing that wasn’t quite up to snuff was the low-resolution CG movies, but I can forgive them for keeping the content original. Everything about this game is neatly polished, from the loading screens to the sprites, everything looks amazing. 6GB total compared the 600Meg CD-Rom from days of gaming yore meant that Blizzard did not pull the punches when it came to data content. Sadly this was made before Ares supported 32 faces SHPs so I discarded the other facings when making it, original Starcarft unit sprites do have up to 32 facings (16. This is a converted, corrected and enchanced Starcraft 1 Reaver. I don’t typically play a lot of games, but this course has given me a reason to keep my gaming ear to the ground and when I heard that Starcraft was getting a remaster, I HAD to check it out.įirst thing I noticed was just how big this game is. Since Starcraft is now freeware and only the 'remastered' version is paid, I think its OK for me to share this.
