Are people playing Starcraft: Remastered?

Hi,

So, I reached the PGL opening season playoffs in Starcraft.

Starcraft Remastered is out, but I'll only play it if there are lots of players.

This is a granddad game, let's face it.

Does it have any traction? Do I need my Starcraft 1 CD?
Thanks

1) Grats on the PGL - weren't you top of Silver a few years back?
2) Numbers are building, retro is the new old thing! Lots of kids picking this up because they remember their parents ignoring them for SC instead!
3) You don't need grandchildren!
4) Yes if you have an SC Key you can install it and download the patches to bring it up to Remastered - you'll probably have to download a file as the update from the original is pretty big! Also if you have Brood War add that first and if you have Anthologies you can upgrade from there too.
Most players moving from SC to Remastered are getting it because the original game is already in their BattleNet account.

I was top of silver. Thanks
Looking at the Science Vessels in the vids, I'm all in! Good memories of irradiating dozens of muta's w my bro and enemy 2 v 2's complaints. Is hacking going to be [b]completely[/b] ubiquitous again?

Pretty decent...It looks like a perfect remake. 640x480 is notably foreign now!
