Project Revolution

has anyone seen this yet?
They are calling it project revolution, a bunch of guys are making a mod for warcraft 3 to recreate starcraft with WC3's newer 3D graphics. They seem really dedicated to staying true to the original. I personally am way excited.
 
That's all very nice and all but what's the point? When you think about it the graphics in Starcraft are far superior to those in Warcraft 3 and all they lack is higher resolution...
 
Ya, I liked the look of Starcraft more, but the Warcraft 3 engine has more potential. The 3D will be nice. As Starcraft's graphics become dated it's just a face lift of a classic.
 
It's mainly just to look pretty as far as i can tell, but do you really need a better reason?
 
Meh, I'd rather just play Starcraft. But it would be nice to see it 3D, in my opinion.

Looks like he has refused swallowing... bwaahahaahaa... :lol:

One REALLY bad thing. They changed the pic of the Flamer Marine. The dude with the ciggie in his dirty mouth was far cooler than the one you can see on one of the screenshots. :roll:

Yes, that 3D affects to gameplay. I think that is a waste of resources if 3D are only used for looking pretty.
 
It will have the same gameplay as Starcraft did, so no, the 3D won't affect the gameplay at all. How is it a waste of resources to make something more visually appealing? Unless you have a really shitty computer you won't even notice a difference in performance anyway.
 
Because those"resources" could be used to make a cool mod instead (if there weren't enough already). Meh, up to other people if they want to waste their precious time, I suppose. And the Warcraft III graphics engine isn't even that pretty, they'd be better off basing it on a newer, cooler engine.
 
Overseer got an answer, resources could be used for other things, and I'm not sure about the beauty of 3D. In FPS, sure, but in RTS...
I'm no ttalking about resources from my computer, I'm talking about developers resources. It's more expensive a 3D game than a 2D one.

Civ 4 is an example, the 3D are horrible in my opinion, and useless. I'd prefer a 2D game with detailed graphics that a "candy" 3D engine. I repeat, I like 3D when it affects to gameplay, but not for stetics.

On the other hand, you have Myth series, or Total War. And the upcoming tactic game theatre of War. Those are good uses of 3D engine, but Warcaft III?. Waste of time and resources.

I don't like games that the only thing which changes is the 3D engine. If I'm tired of playing Starcraft, I would be tired of playing Starcraft 3D if the gameplay is the same.
