Weren't they going to do a full remake of the game at first but "nostalgia purists" or whatever nonsense complained them into just doing a 1:1 HD-ification without even the small changes like redubbed voice lines or slightly altered maps (like Stratholme)? Comment by johnnycashed on T18:03:52-06:00 They did say they were NOT gonna remake the cinematics from scratch back in BlizzCon 2018.
PC Gamer Article Comment by MaximusPM on T17:29:28-06:00 Some possibilities were changed because of purists but since Nov they claimed no changes to the cinematics. In reality the problem isn't even the price but all the potential this remaster had that is now wasted. I should have probably spent my money for AOE 2 Definitive Edition which is twice as less expensive and wasn't falsely adveritsed but I truely love this game, In the end they cancelled all the cinematics they had to re do and the only two new cinematics we're getting is the intro one and the Illidan vs Arthas one. Sadly IG cinematics won't be remade either. They were talking about IG cinematics, 4 hours =/= these 20 minutes. I would like to reiterate that it's been said since last year that the pre-rendered cinematics wouldn't be remade! I know how frustrating it can be to some, but it's been said a couple of times now.
Plus we already got a few cinematics for BfA, that we usually don't get with other expansions Comment by Kanarvius on T16:17:35-06:00 While I would love if they remade all the cinematics, I don't think people understand how much money and time it takes to make such cinematics. It looks like people really don't know the difference between remaster and remake. Comment by ZeroFighter on T16:17:18-06:00ĭidn't they specifically say that there will be no "new" cinematics except that one they showed. Really guys, it's incredibly easy to look up stuff nowadays, and if you're feeling "scammed" that they did this after outright saying they'll do it, you only got yourself to blame. Wow how dare they do what they exactly said in Blizzcon. Glorious! I love those cinematics! Such nostalgic Comment by alosiboy on T16:02:08-06:00 You all do realize they also did not rebuild the game from scratch, right? Comment by Silverhustle on T16:01:35-06:00 I seriously do not know how anyone could have expected them to completely redo them from scratch. I'm so revolt that they didn't remake all the cinematics like they said with "4hours of remastered cinematics". It's unimaginable to think 20 minutes of CGI would be redone, BFA got 20 minutes over all expansion.
They said only the intro will be remade, the other cinematics just upgraded, don't be surprised and listen/read next time.
We should expect nothing from Blizz now, the track record speaks for itself.
at this point I have myself to blame and nobody else. Good if you like them but I hate it.Īnd I keep getting disappointed. It was clear from the very beginning that this game is a massive cash grab. OMG its the same cinematics! WTF Blizz! Comment by vindurza on T15:53:30-06:00Īnd Activison finds a new way to ruin the something great and cut corners to piss folks off they really are trying to make Blizzard the next Harmonix Comment by Sentynel on T15:54:40-06:00 I still think it's a shame they didn't redo them with modern tech, but I guess it was considered too expensive. IT's So ReMasTerized !
