What a bunch of scumbags.
Yeah, the Blizzard a lot of us grew up with is truly dead and gone.
Wasn’t Microsoft just talking about how important game preservation was to them?
I guess that must be why I can’t buy the Black & White games or Fable 2. Because Microsoft cares so much about preserving the awkward legal Loop some of their Lionhead Games are in.
It could be them getting ready to push a wc1 and 2 remake. Hopefully more of a D2 than a WC3…
Always pirate blizzard
It is so lame that originals get delisted. I still hate that about the GTA trilogy when the remaster sucks.
That’s one thing I really hate and why video game preservation is so important. We need to keep games alive forever so future generations can enjoy the classics and all the masterpieces out there.
They actually updated the remaster a few weeks ago and it is a huge difference.
Now the only glaring issue is the music, since the originals came out before game studios knew to secure licensed music rights in a way that would allow future re-releases in different formats.
They can update the remasters all they want and it won’t make delisting the originals any less shitty.
Agreed. But I was responding to the claim that the remasters suck. With the recent updates, that’s not as accurate unless the music is the most important part of the experience for you.
The improved controls, higher resolution, gameplay tweaks (fucking David Cross RC missions in the original were ludicrous), and restored lighting make a pretty compelling package. If the remasters launched in their current state they’d be considered excellent.
For what it’s worth, they actually updated the trilogy to make it suck less, by a lot.
I have them on CD-ROM.
I also think I have the final patches for them on floppies that I stuffed in the boxes. Not sure if they’re readable (or in fact the final patches)
Thankfully it seems that PC gaming wiki still has working links to the patches.
