#STARCRAFT REMASTERED FREE FREE#
Players with the free version miss out on the improved graphics and audio, as well as the matchmaking and leaderboards, but get to play the campaigns and LAN games with modern OS support. What's better is that rather than disappearing the original version, as Beamdog does with its cRPG 'Enhanced Editions' which replace the originals on GOG, Blizzard has made the classic StarCraft free. And for the rest of us, the original and Brood War campaigns are now preserved for as long as Blizzard keeps them updated and running smoothly on new hardware and operating systems. You can do that on the StarCraft site, from a link towards the bottom of the page.For those who are serious about multiplayer StarCraft, though, I can't see any reason why SC:Remastered isn't a boon.

Just check out the video below to see the true differences in the old version and the new version of the game, before you download it and sink a lot of time into it.
Up to you what you decide, of course, and the original game is free. So, is it worth downloading the original StarCraft for free? (Better graphics, remastered audio, crisp, clear comic book style graphics for the briefings, and the ability to zoom in and out for battle details).
Not with those truly awful graphics, and the reality the upcoming StarCraft Remastered is going to be much much better. I’m just not so sure I would want to sink 30-plus hours into the game to complete it. Is it worth downloading the original StarCraft for free?

It’s fun to play, it’s challenging and you immediately remember why this real-time strategy game has become so incredibly popular that it is still played by professional esports players all over the world, but especially in South Korea. Namely, they want as many people as possible to see how bad this almost 20-year-old game looks so, once StarCraft Remastered releases and it’s much prettier, they will all be rushing to buy it.įor me, I think the original StarCraft is a fabulous game - as a demo, that is. But I am also guessing there is a reason behind their philanthropy. Even the teeny tiny character icons at the bottom of the screen are fuzzy. And the audio is muddy.Īnd isn’t it funny how you didn’t notice that when you first played the game upon its release in 1998 but now, almost 20 years on, it’s a deal breaker? Why is the StarCraft original version now free?īecause, sure, it’s incredibly nice of Blizzard to release both StarCraft games for free. That’s because the game’s graphics are not just pixelated but the whole thing is out of focus. Because, honestly, the original game looks and sounds terrible. Just use the original game as a demo to see how it plays, or remember what it looks like if you’ve already played it, until StarCraft Remastered is released. Being one of the probably tens of thousands of people who have already downloaded the original StarCraft this morning, and put in an hour or so playing it, I say grab the game but with a caveat.
