It sure looks like a Warcraft 2 remaster just leaked ahead of next week's anniversary event (www.pcgamer.com)

That's cool. But I'm never buying a Blizzard game ever again.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, it hurts to say but that's it. Blizzard as I loved it is long gone.

Same. I have Game Pass Ultimate so I don’t need to ;)

Let's see if they learned something from Warcraft 3 Reforged.

Yay, another remaster.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

How much did they cut?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry blizzard but you can't un-fuck your past with more warcraft remasters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

They probably just don't have the talent to make a new game anymore.

[–] normalexit 11 points 2 weeks ago

I am not buying any more of their remastered games. War2 has a special place in my life, and I'm glad another generation is able try it, but they are going to screw it up.

I wish Blizzard would have made Warcraft 4 when they were still Blizzard.

swoboo!

I wonder if I’ll get access to it with my WC2 original CDs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And have blizzard miss a chance to sell you a decades old game for 60USD? Not a chance.

[–] chonglibloodsport 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They did this for people with WC3 CD keys.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

No, they didn't. WC3 people got Reforged forced upon them but without any of the updated graphics. But they still had to download the assets, without the ability to use them. They got the worst of both worlds.

[–] Zoldyck 3 points 2 weeks ago

If done well: awesome!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hopefully it’s more like D2:R than WC3:R. D2:R is in my opinion very well done, too bad they only did a few updates before leaving it.

[–] ampersandrew 3 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't they retain LAN in the demo for D2:R and then remove it in the full release?
