| Quote: | One fan asked the panel if there are any plans to remaster Warcraft or Warcraft 2, the first two games in this legendary series.
Unfortunately, this isn’t happening, according to Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce, who shot down the idea pretty quickly. “We are fortunate enough to have all of the original source code and assets to everything we’ve done in the past,” he said, as reported by Eurogamer.
“But actually, it turns out, it’s really hard to access that stuff, unlock it, and figure out how it all works. Because we’re old, we’ve forgotten.
“We had some dedicated folks that were passionate about the idea, dig up the Warcraft 1 assets and code. They got it working and they got it running in a window. And I played it,” Pearce went on.
“Warcraft: Orcs & Humans was awesome for its time. I promise you, in today’s world, by today’s standards, it’s just not that fun any more,” he added, and concluded saying he’d much rather spend the company’s resources on World of Warcraft or Overwatch content, or on a new IP, rather than “digging up those fossils.”
Mike Morhaime, the company president then jumped in to add the caveat “At this time!” to Pearce’s answer. |
 "Today standards"  |
Well, he is right. Warcraft 1 and 2 remastered just with better graphics would be kind of bad, actually even really bad. They are really old games and have some really clunky mechanics of the time, some that would hardly be called "fun" by anyone.
I wouldn't mind a new RTS in the series, but remastering 1 and 2 is way too late.

Yea, I think they aren't very good anymore too.The genre has come far since Warcraft 1 or 2 and actually gained, not lost, complexity. Loads of it too. Starcraft aged well, but it was light years ahead of both Warcrafts (which is why it had even more of an impact). Warcrafts - today - would be just very simple and not all that interesting RTS games.

Sure, he's right to an extent.
I would be more in favor of a "remake" than a "remaster".
I think the ultimate situation would be a WC4 with brand new engine, and they give us most of the stories of 1 and 2 in that new engine to replay. No need to keep the "unfun" mechanics of forever ago, just the units/balance/story with new engine would be awesome.
No need to dig up the old code and splash some improved textures on it. That indeed, would not be fun.

Yah for sure, but I always enjoy that Blizzard quality.  And re-making official models for all the units.
They are frustrating company sometimes, but they often put out a ton of high quality stuff. Sometimes in Heroes of the Storm I just dream a little it's WC4, haha. Looking around at all the small details in the maps, just awesome. |

Actually, that is true for Warcraft 1 only. It is really rough game, even compared to 1 year later released Warcraft 2.
The second game can still pass test of time.

That or he and Freiwald broke up. Divorces tend to get messy.
On a serious note: he's still on Steam so you can have a chat with him there. |
