I love that music as well but the Warcraft 2 combat completly same only different is the dififculty that increased. This edition the best what could do with and not this remastered idea
Awesome man. I only heard about the remaster yesterday and you've already got a full playthrough. I'm happy to see the graphics look quite faithful to the original.
To me it`s funny to see the game from my childhood played so efficiently good, where I spent hours in later levels building everything to the limits. But, now it`s time to download the trilogy again. Good one, Stu!
Thank you for showing this gameplay. I have the original and seeing this, shows me that is not worth FOR ME to buy the Remastered. But I appreciate what they did for the game.
I think it looks pretty good, maybe a solid 7/10. The client seems to have some shortcomings especially with multiplayer, I've noticed some stuff but nothing too bad.
Great speed run… but one notice how “easy” the OG campaigns were. I am happy they kept them as they are, but they should have looked into the IA fixes that the fanbase made. The campaign is much more enjoyable like that
I long for a version of the wow storyline that was more faithful to the original Warcraft games. Of course, some changes were needed to keep a consistent narrative, which I feel Warcraft 3 was pretty underappreciated for pulling off quite smoothly. Stuff like Sargeras, Deathwing and Medivh were changed for the better IMO, since I feel like they were greatly overlooked during thier initial appearances. But still, the WoW storyline has gone completely bonkers to the point that it's hardly possible to keep track of what's still considered canon or not. But I suppose that's what happens when you try to shove a "linear storyline" shaped peg into an "open-world MMO" shaped hole.
Dude this Warcraft 2 orcs were so badass and true MUCH more likeable than the “noble savage” douches they became in Warcraft 3. They retained some of their former badassery, but probably by now it’s all gone.
iirc only the game engine itself was installed, most of the assets were loaded directly from cd, once loaded into ram you could eject the cd and put in your own greatest hits audio cd
when its quiet because you are home alone... dim the lights and turn the sound up while you inject this nostalgia into your veins for optimal feel good
@@mop9i40kyes. But also, I'm sure if they did, all the purists would have freaked out. In a franchise as big as Warcraft, if you try to please one group of fans, the other group freaks out. Might as well just do a half a** job and make some money.
the gameplay itself doesn't look too bad, but I hate that it is an AI upscale. They didn't do that for SCR or D2R and it wasn't what happened with the C&C remasters, so why do it now?
yes it should have used a newer engine should been like resident evil 4 remake or some remake like that but blizzard is known for making cash grab stuff and people praising it
Ugh....the pain of hunting down that one last unit hiding somewhere in the map. C&C had that same problem until Red Alert 2 where the AI sells all their buildings and rushes you.
Personally I think the WC2 remaster is the better of the two. The units in the WC1 remaster look too cartoonish ... too much in the WarCraft Rumble style. There are also way more issues with the WC1 remaster like no online play, lack of "tall pixels" and the briefing screens not being faithful. As to your run: very nice especially as you probably haven't practiced this speed run for a while.
I don't know if I watched a speedrun or some documentary on an economic superpower civilization rising from the ground (especially mission 12). But it was fun.
I can stop playing this on my Saturn now? I had no idea there was a remaster coming. The screen/HUD does not have the distinct "brown" Orc look. While it is wood, it kind of looks like the original Human HUD. I hope this will come out on Xbox, so I can play it on my television and the music on my stereo.
@@Skall-ex I don't think so; all triggers on campaign's maps seems to be "hard coded" inside map files. From editor you can only create a "Destroy all enemies" maps without put, unlike Starcraft editor, custom triggers.
@@Bloodlyshiva I never actually thought the mana regeneration was that slow. Maybe I just got too focused on other tasks while waiting to continue healing my troops?
This game looks quaint and basic now You really can’t overstate how big of a deal it was when it came out, though PC Gaming was barely a thing. This game put Blizzard on the map and sold like hotcakes right when Windows 95 and PCs were becoming widespread in households The graphics, music, sound, and gameplay took PC gaming far forward in a way that hadn’t been done yet - and it was far superior to anything the consoles could do at the time
They messed up the arts in the campaign selection. The one for the Tides of Darkness Orc campaign shows Nerzhul, who leads the Orcs back on Dreanor in Beyond the Dark Portal.
One of the aspects I least liked about Warcraft 2 was how stupid the artificial intelligence was. In the original game, they were unable to traverse trees and mountains. They just couldn't get around them. Has this been corrected in this new version? Does AI work better now?
As I understand it, blizzards are very good at making remasters for 2d games - the same 1sk is made very cool, you can immediately see the year-long grueling work. You won't see more sarcasm today.
I don't know, the OG version has this vibe... "remastered" version is more cartoonish. I don't really like this. And devs are getting lazier and lazier. No remastered video, no additional videos, jsut some new menus and """"improved"""" graphics. If this costs more, I would never buy it Btw, thanks for playing it
Warcraft II still has the best music of the series, and you can't change my mind.
don't need to throw money at blizzard to get the music though.
And the voice lines. These have never gotten old!
I love that music as well but the Warcraft 2 combat completly same only different is the dififculty that increased. This edition the best what could do with and not this remastered idea
yes
Why change it? You are right. The Orc 2 track is simply the all time best.
This game was my youth and that opening still makes me giddy. Thanks for posting this.
I remember playing this on my schools computer network as a treat for our class by our computer teacher.
Same here
Same, but there is no way I give money to Blizzard, nooooooooo way.
Awesome man. I only heard about the remaster yesterday and you've already got a full playthrough. I'm happy to see the graphics look quite faithful to the original.
Well, because they were fed through AI generational model.
Im just happy that the og lore campaigns in both wc1 and wc2 have not been retconned with dumb WoW lore stuff
That was my fear after what they intended to doo/did with reforged. And ppl still claim for that change to happen...💀
For me wc lore died with wow vanilla, damn prolly even with wc3. Wow lore is just stupid.
we can't see warcraft4 because of dumb WoW
Agreed, the lore in wow is messed up since after wotlk and I totally hate it.
@@aihatsuchannel4013 even before woltk including wotlk itself... Tbc is just the worst of all

The soundtrack was (and still is ) awesome !
Great content, thanks. I spent several years of my childhood playing this. Hoping you do the remaining remastered campaigns too :-)
Thank you for showing this gameplay. I have the original and seeing this, shows me that is not worth FOR ME to buy the Remastered. But I appreciate what they did for the game.
We played this lovely game all the time. It was really easy to build your own .pud files and replace the sound effects. Fond memories.
Amazing skills, as always! Can't wait for the Humans and Expansion Campaign speedruns!!
From watching this video I have been informed that you're the captain.
Wow you work fast brother...
Do you like the remaster? Is it an improvement across the board in your opinion? Or is it more of a give and take?
I think it looks pretty good, maybe a solid 7/10. The client seems to have some shortcomings especially with multiplayer, I've noticed some stuff but nothing too bad.

such a fantastic idea to remaster these games

Spent many a summer break hour playing this game. Such a blast from the past. Love it.
My entire summer break of 1996 was playing this on my moms laptop until the left click button stopped working
Then I had to double tap the touchpad
@@Merknilash same
1996 was Warcraft 2
1997/98 was Quake 2
1999 was Starcraft
@@JayHey2323 yep. 1999 was incredible
Half life, StarCraft , EverQuest , ultimate online - I wasn’t a very good high school student that year
@Merknilash i had half life, too, but i never really got into it. I just like Quake and Starcraft more. Although I did love Unreal Tournament.
The RAM for this remaster is more than the hardrive space fof the PC's the orignals were ran on.
iirc only the game engine itself was installed, most of the assets were loaded directly from cd, once loaded into ram you could eject the cd and put in your own greatest hits audio cd
Great run! The dad rise as quelthalas falls!
I love you man! Some quality stuff again.
Really enjoying this little surprise today. Just started the Human campaign in Wc1 and think I'll keep going.
Thanks for this classic… again
the "I would love too!" sounds like an answer to robbie rotten's "Would you like too?!"
Very excited to see this! Will try to watch over the weekend!
Amazing! Got this recommended, have played this game so much on my Ps1! Love it!!!!
when its quiet because you are home alone... dim the lights and turn the sound up while you inject this nostalgia into your veins for optimal feel good
Hidden gem for those who played original wc2 or wc3 ) 9:32
The wild life ain't safe from anyone in wc2 and wc3
Oh hell yes!! WC2 remastered? sign me up!
I think this is really beautiful!
It's ridiculous that they didn't improve the graphics of the cinematics to today's technology
Well they didn't really do that too for SC1's remaster so this is about as I expected it.
It's because 1. They are greedy 2. They do n't give a f...

Might as well just do a half a** job and make some money.
That would have required quite a substantial investment. Likely as much as any other part of the project, for a very modest payoff.

Not enough profit in WarCraft 1/2 for a D2R style.
@@lukkkasz323 ye, they ask too much for it.
Looks like there's an arrow slit in the human cannon towers now. Sloppy.
It's like they went through a neural network and said "smart remaster, buy it now"

Remind me of my favorite game when I was kid with best friend both just played w2 it’s been 15 years right now ❤
HE'S BACK
Human campaign wc1 and 2 incoming?
yep!
@@StuGames the orc WC2 campaign that you played, did that include the expansion? or is that a separate video?
@@PremiumLeo I have a video for that in the original game, it's called "Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal - Full Orc Campaign Gameplay & Story"
Did they improve IA level ? It was quite bad on the GoG version, especially tides of darkness.
Awesome! Can we have the Warcraft 1 remastered please ? Thank you!
Oh hot damn, I probably should have expected this, but I didn't. hooray!
Damn that was quick bro. Touche
09:56 BOOM! XD
nice job !
the guy who designed the badlads and runestone at caer darrow missions must be thinking, "oh drat"
Can you do the same for human campaign? 🙏
Can't wait for the human parts for wc 1 2
this was really disappointing imo. acting like waiting years for the same game ran through an AI upscale filter for 15 dollars is worth it
yes it should have used a newer engine should been like resident evil 4 remake or some remake like that but blizzard is known for making cash grab stuff and people praising it
@ for real, war1gus did wc1 better and wc2 did have room to improve but they added precisely zero modern features, even as options
Nice one. I still want to play this but I'm broke to buy. :(
Pretty sure I saw these all from you before but eh why not getcha some watch metrics more than happy to slap it on the background while I work.
That's great work! And made so fast! What about single segmented campaign speedrun? Or you only run individual levels?
How much is the game file size of warcraft 2 remastered?
this remaster needs remaster
I really had no idea, that it's possible to dodge ship cannon shots
I had no idea that goblin sappers could attack
Ugh....the pain of hunting down that one last unit hiding somewhere in the map. C&C had that same problem until Red Alert 2 where the AI sells all their buildings and rushes you.

God I forgot how good the music is.
Already?! But it has only been out for a day! LOL!
Will there be a human's campaign?
Thanks for the video
Yep, coming up next! I've also uploaded the Warcraft 1 Remastered orc campaign.
6:50 is the mission I really remember... I think I was 10....
What race in starcraft do you primarily play?
Zerg in SC1 and Terran in SC2
3:38 he sure has teeth
3:43 guess that going HD also comes with the side-effect of missing teeth (●´ω`●)
I was afraid youre not gonna use dragons at all
1:10:50 sneaky turtle.
So it needed a remaster to have you speedrun this game again...
I wish they would rotate the peon face icon slightly towards the left
For so many years, I thought its ear was its left eye and tusk was its mouth
Does the remaster still have access to map editor ?
yes but it's the same one without improvements
Send me the link to download it
Как мне нравилась эта игра :) Она была относительно простой и не перегруженной графикой и всякими наворотами. Просто играешь, просто проводишь время.
Dumb question: Does Warcraft II: Remastered still have the map editor that lets you design your own levels?
Yes. No triggers, no custom objectives, no custom campaigns...
@@AnakinIT Are there even any triggers implemented in the game, except unit(s) = 0 and circle of power activation?
@@Skall-ex I don't think so; all triggers on campaign's maps seems to be "hard coded" inside map files. From editor you can only create a "Destroy all enemies" maps without put, unlike Starcraft editor, custom triggers.
Yes milord
Finally after 29 years of technological advancement Activision re-relased Warcraft to look like flash game
You're a fucking champ Stu
Any thoughts on "Age of Empires 2 Remaster vs Warcraft 2 Remaster"? Some people argue that 10$ for this remaster isn't worth, what do you think?
It's worth it if you want to replay it, but there's no new content like in the AoE Remasters.
ZADROT EBANIY :)
You think BLIZZARD would have e fixed that dodge cannon ball trick
Humans are cooler than Orcs.
It was always healing vs. bloodlust dilemma.

Bloodlust is better in the short-term, and healing is better in the long-term.
