Absolutely excited to play all the custom maps again. Tons of awesome tower defenses, line tower wars, footman frenzy and party maps like uther party and who is the weakest link. Who remembers Don't move the tauren? xD

I just hope connecting to the online features gets an update so it feels a bit faster and less outdated than in StarCraft Remastered.

Would even be more excited about a Diablo 2 Remastered!

Diablo 2 Remastered, via Steam, with Linux support. UwU

Pumped but a little disappointed. Was anyone else expecting better graphics?

Yeah, they surely improved unit models, but seems like terrain is still low on details in this one.

I remember seeing screenshots of wc3 alpha during development, and the graphics looked similar. Maybe this stuff has been sitting around, unused all this time.

Call me paranoid, but what is the chance, that they made it just to acquire some IP from custom map makers? There is a famous Dota story, after which Blizzard decided to add a clause to its Starcraft II world editor, that you grant them license to anything you create in it. If a similar clause will be silently added to Reforged, that would be bad.

Looks amazing. WC3 has outsize influence on the online gaming landscape. It'd be interesting to dissect how much of the design choices of MOBAs are holdovers of the constraints of the WC3 world editor.

I played a ton of this game on lowest resolution at the time because I didn't have a very powerful graphics card at the time. I can't wait enjoy its glory once again!

Please, do D2 next. First Starcraft, now WC3... All the classics!

I would die for a D2 Remastered, man. I revisited that game recently and other than the clunky controls, it's a blast.

Titan Quest on the Switch has splitscreen multiplayer. I'm not holding my breath, but I would love it if Blizzard did the same with D2.

Many long hours spent on War3 in elementary school. It was the game that I built my first computer to play.

Is this for real? This this a kind of w4 or just some new missions/stories?

This is Warcraft III, remastered. This is not Warcraft IV. Just like it says on the tin.

This is a remaster of Warcraft3. Which means, updated graphics, but proabably mostly a 1:1 copy of the original game.

It was announced at BlizzCon, which is happening these days.

The graphics don't seem updated (i.e. max resolution is 1024 x 786)

You and thefounder have both said things like this, but I don't understand - the trailer is pretty clear that it's going to be in 4k.

My bad...it seems I read the minimum requirements. It seems it's going to be 4K which is awesome! W3 is the best (and last) game I've ever played.

Even the original WC III had no explicit limit on max resolution AFAIK.

It's a remake of Warcraft 3. Kinda like the final fantasy 10 remake

It's a remaster in the same spirit as Starcraft Remastered. Higher resolution textures, higher polygon counts, better animation, higher resolution options. Same game.

How is that the max resolution is still 1024 x 800 ?

What do you mean? The trailer indicates that it's going to be in 4k.

Well the system requirments say something else

That's a minimum recommendation. Pretty sure most people out there don't plan to run this on Pentium II's

Gameplay trailer states 4k resolution (55 seconds in) https://youtu.be/Q2zfx5hQ3CE

the latest patches for W3 already support Full HD.
