My only comment is -- they have honestly run out of new ideas (probably dont need to as they are a juggernaut like Uplays Ass Creed series and Activision's CoD)

Grargar: Good, good. Now Blizzard, can you do something similar about Diablo 1 and Warcraft 2, pretty please? Maybe do a digital release while we're at it?

Matewis: This! At least the Warcraft 2 part because I still haven't beaten Beyond the Dark Portal :P

As for Warcraft 3, I really hope that they include proper support for widescreen resolutions. I wouldn't mind at all to finish my all-time favorite RTS in a properly proportioned 1920x1080
They've already implemented widescreen (as of patch 1.25b).

As for Warcraft 2, that might interest you: https://launchpad.net/wargus/

I agree with Diablo 1, though.
Edit: Never mind. I obviously failed Reading Comprehension 101. =P

Yeah, but it is still a stretched relative to what 4:3 looks like. For example, here are two screenshots at the indicated resolutions:

I'm hoping against hope for a widescreen support that actually shows more of the battlefield.

And cool thanks, I'll defintely check out Wargus some time

many years ago, probably like 10-12 or something, I received as a gift cd's with reign of chaos and frozen throne and warcraft 3 was and still is my favorite rts to date. I liked it better than d1+2
With this new patch maybe I'll clean the discs and give'em a try again...

Matewis: I just can't see how that film is going to be a success
Yes, that film is going to be a flop. I'd say there's more than 90% chance for that so I'd bet heavily on the flop part. It is so obvious!

It absolutely doesn't matter how many likes a trailer has or how many people will buy a ticket to see the flop.
Lately there is a new mantra that the more people see or like a movie equals succes. This only proves that the vast majority of people have bad taste and/or are brainwashed fanatic fans and the hype machine is working on full cylinders, nothing more. See the latest starwars, I mean 8.4 on imdb from half a million people? that's a 7 movie max.

Warcraft as a quality movie? Maybe, but definitely not this 2016 one, as the current trailer demonstrates it big time.

Elmofongo: Considering the Warcraft movie is obviously setting up sequals imagine seeing the events of Warcraft 3 on the big screen?
Perhaps, it wouldn't be bad to see the Human/Undead campaigns (the corruption of Arthas, destruction of Lordaeron, death of Uther, destruction of the High Elves etc) as a movie, but maybe that's just because I'm a bit sadistic and like "bad guys win" scenarios.

Nice! This thread let me remember the funny old days playing Warcraft 3. The story missins were really good. But what I liked most about Warcraft 3 was playing fun maps (like Footman Frenzy, DOTA, tower defenses and so on) in multiplayer.

tfishell: Well at least they care about their older games, unlike Activision.
WC3 and D2 are quite unique cases though, as both games are still popular today and still have people playing them online. Did you know that there's STILL online gold sellers for Diablo 2? Pretty amazing.

I wouldn't deny the effect that the updates have on the games' popularity. Blizzard does a wonderful job when it comes to their classic games, there's barely anything like that around these days.

InfraSuperman: Maybe they've finally decided to implement good gameplay.
Just because you hate it, it doesn't mean it has bad gameplay.

You just suck at RTS. That's all there is to it.

Yeah because trailer represents whole movie. Good assumption you have there.

blotunga: Thus the chances of seeing them here fade away in nothingness. Blizzard loves battle.net. And they sell 20 year old games for 20 euros without ever discounting them... So probably they wouldn't want GOG or anyone else eating in their profitssss.
Blizzard are active and profitable company. Why would they even consider selling here if Steam don't even have the games?

Blizzard back then usually let the bad guys win.

Warcraft 1. It is considered canon that the Orc campaign is the ending.

Diablo 1. the Hero either willingly or not shoved Diablo's Soulstone in his head thus getting possessed by Diablo.

Starcraft 1. Kerrigan becomes way more powerful with full control of the Zerg Swarm.

Diablo 2: I feel the destruction of the World Stone should have had negative concequences.

Warcraft 3. Arthas becomes Lich King.
Awesome! I can't wait for the patch notes.
Frankly my dear,I don't give a damn...unless Blizzard comes to GOG
I think the update is for China only.
Interesting how the video is directed towards the Chinese market. I guess those guys can't get enough of WC3 and Dota. It is commendable that Blizzard is doing this, though.
