QWEEDDYZ: Im refering to Wc3 TFT 1.27b and Warzone 2100 Ressurection Project (especially since v.3.x.x). One is example of not always better pacthces history from offical devs, another is example of remake of rewrited originally open-sourced officilay published source-code.
Both have disadvatages from origianl older releases (Wc3 Classic 1.28+ im personally not count as original).
Official remakes and fan-mades - have some similaries: new =/= better, but =/= bad as well, yes. its just differ. Newest is newset. Some pros and cons, always like that.
Same for many else project. Empire Earth mods, CorsixTH, OpenXcom... they all have some bug\-o-feature's existed for long time and not possible to fixed. Although this all is strategy games, and it always more issues with them (new pathfinding and AI, not possible to directly port old ones).
Same for any official remakes. They all have pros and cons as something newest. And sometimes they are really good with not so many things are missed from original.
If you want new experience - everything is worth to try. Especially if its free. Just dont name it "replacment" to original.
At least for single-play experience.
That comparison is compactly inept, DevilutionX was build with a completely different approach. DevilutionX 1.0.0 is 1:1 features, bugs and everything to Diablo 1.09. It's obvious that you have never even tried DevilutionX and is simply speaking out of preconceived biases. Try it and come back when you have some valid criticize that is actually.Both have disadvatages from origianl older releases (Wc3 Classic 1.28+ im personally not count as original).
