Carbot Animations announced that it has worked with Blizzard in order to bring this graphics overhaul mod to StarCraft Remastered. Carbot Animations describes this overhaul as a new graphics setting that completely changes the game’s visuals, making it seem cute, cartoon-ish and colourful. This pack will support all game modes and even the cinematics/briefings have been changed in order to reflect the new cartoon-ish look that this overhaul introduces. Contrary to the unofficial mod for StarCraft 2, this one is being supported by Blizzard itself and is an official visual pack for StarCraft Remastered.
As you can see, the update makes this look like a “whole new game”. That cutesy, cartoon style looks right out of the many Starcraft ripoff flash games from the early 2000s. Obviously, this is much crisper than those games, but it certainly has that Newgrounds feel. Carbot and his team spent over a year making this pack and it absolutely shows in the quality of the visuals.
The great part is that you can use this pack in every mode. The entire game has been “Carbotified”. Hopefully, we see this style used in tournaments going forward. I know I’d be much more likely to jump into a Starcraft: Remastered stream if I saw this pack being used. I can’t wait to see the Korean Starcraft League finals played in “Carbot mode” next season. Make it happen, Blizzard!
Starcraft: Remastered is available now on Mac and PC. The Carbot graphics pack will be releasing on July 10, so make sure to get the game installed before then. |
