The Making of Warcraft (2012)

Speaking of AoE II, a couple of months back I bought the "HD remake" of it on Steam.

I was a bit disappointed in the remake with regards to how they handled the sizing of the UI.

Every part of the UI is very small on my high resolution (2560 x 1440) display.

Not what I expected when they market it as a HD remake.

I searched the internet to see if anyone else was disappointed and found that indeed I was not alone.

Here is one example of what others are saying: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1bslgq/why_is_the_us...

Still, AoE II was a good game and I have fond memories of it from my childhood.

I keep a Winows XP box running just to play it and several other games from then and before. I also play the Star Wars spin off, Galactic Battlegrounds, on it. It's AoE II but with SW factions and maps...

I agree in that I'd call it more of an HD "refactor" than a remake.

The HD version supports all sorts of resolutions, whereas the original game was restricted to just 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024!
