Valkyrie will also now have unlimited amount of missiles.Īny further information about the add-ons? How are they priced, and how will they work with the existing Blizzard platform? For example, we have kept the rather clunky moving mechanism of Dragoon but fixed the bug in which the unit would freeze and become unable to move. Some of them will remain as they have been, and some will be fixed. Some of the bugs have become so iconic that it became the game’s main aspect itself. Are you going to fix all these? Will the maximum number of units per group still be fixed to 12?īridenbecker: We wanted to maintain the playable aspect of Brood War as much as possible, so the number of units per group will still be 12. I suppose it’s because it’s easier to tell what’s happening in widescreen, and also because of better viewing pleasure.īrood War has some lingering bugs that many people are already aware of. They started in 4:3 screen ratio, but all changed to widescreen in the end. We shared our early prototype with pro StarCraft players and allowed them to change the graphics by pressing F1. The screen ratio stays the same too, but you can play the game in widescreen if you want. Stilwell: We are pulling SD and HD from the same game, so everything including the field of view will stay the same.

We will let you know how we will deal with that soon later. People can purchase upgrades once the remaster is released on summer.īridenbecker: About what we just said about Brood War being free to play, we are aware of the people that had purchased the game throughout the 19 years. The original Brood War will be free to play once the 1.18 patch hits live next week. Morhaime: We don’t have any further detail about the PC Bang price model that we can share now, but you will have to purchase an upgrade to play the remastered Brood War. I hope esport continues to stand strong, but it’s difficult for us to announce the details of the league or esport in this very moment.Ĭan you tell us how transliteration will work for the new Brood War and how the game will be serviced in PC Bangs? Will the screen ratio stay the same as original?īridenbecker: Marine will be 마린 also in Korean version of the game. Morhaime: Esport did play a crucial role in Brood War’s success. How are you going to handle the Brood War league, or the esport event in general? The session was joined by Blizzard’s president and cofounder Mike Morhaime, VP of online technologies Robert Bridenbecker, and senior producer Pete Stilwell. Following the announcement of HD remastered Brood War in today’s “I Love StarCraft,” Blizzard held a QnA session to provide further information about how the game will be put together.
