[The winner of this award was Warcraft III: Reforged]
[Voiced by John C]
Warcraft III has been fully functional for 19 years. All they have to do is replace the models, something that the custom game scene has more than proven over the years is possible. So that sounds like a simple task, right?
Then Blizzard took a fat shit on every shining accomplishment the original game had boasted, and joyously declared “Job’s done!”
In true modern Blizzard fashion, the company decided to take a game that was designed entirely around the art stylе itself, throw all of it out the window, outsource thеir models to some literal who Malaysian company, and turn on fullbright like it’s some kind of unholy Half-Life mod. As a quick reminder, they advertised the re-release with a completely updated cutscene from the classic game. That wasn’t in the final release. They remade the intro CG cinematic. And just that one. Hell, they even fucked up the menus.
We’re focusing on aesthetics here, so you’d think gameplay would stay out of this discussion, but even that’s not the case, since even the classic graphics got fucked up in the update.
Do yourself a favor; install an old version of the game, and never update it. Even the original copies aren’t safe from this trainwreck of a remaster. The Warcraft 3 you’ve known and loved for 20 years is gone, best to cast it aside and Frostmourne its loss.
