Blizzard pulled off a rare surprise today by shadow launching remasters of the original Warcraft and its sequel to commemorate the franchise’s 30th anniversary. These updates of the hit RTS games are available right now and look to merge retro goodness with some modern sensibilities.

The remasters feature “brand new, hand-drawn visuals that capture the original art style from each game.” Players will be able to swap between the original graphics and the remastered versions in real time. If the trailer is anything to go by, the games look purdy. The simple animations match the vibe of the two games nicely.

The original Warcraft is getting some serious quality-of-life changes to make the game more appealing to modern audiences. The update includes 16:9 resolution support and modern control options. For instance, players can now right-click to move units instead of having to rely on hotkeys.

Both remasters have also received "various UI and UX improvements such as tooltips and health bars, mission select screens, and increased unit selection." The original games placed strict limitations on how many units could be selected at once, so that last one is a nice improvement.

Warcraft 2 will even be available for multiplayer sessions. Franchise manager Brad Chan said during today’s 30th anniversary livestream that “all legacy custom maps will still be fully compatible and playable.” These remasters are available right now. Warcraft 1 is $10 and Warcraft 2 is $15.

Today’s 30th anniversary stream also dropped all kinds of other nuggets beyond the remasters. Warcraft 3: Reforged got a major update today that fixes many long-standing issues. Blizzard also announced that the affiliated mobile title Warcraft Arclight Rumble will be playable on PC starting on December 10, albeit as a beta.

The developer is relaunching WoW: Classic, complete with “all-new, fresh realms.” WoW: Classic 20th Anniversary Edition will be available on November 21 and will include PvE and PvP servers, in addition to Hardcore realms.

WoW Classic is even getting a new (old) expansion. Mists of Pandora Classic will be available next year. Check the trailer above for proof.

GOG is launching an effort to help make older video games playable on modern hardware. The GOG Preservation Program will label the classic titles that the platform has taken steps to adapt in order to make them compatible with contemporary computer systems, controllers and screen resolutions, all while adhering to its DRM-free policy. The move could bring new life to games of decades past, just as GOG did two years ago with a refresh of the 1999 title Wheel of Time. So far, 92 games have received the preservation treatment.

"Our guarantee is that they work and they will keep working," the company says in the video announcing the initiative.

Preservation has been a hot topic as more games go digital only. Not only are some platforms eliminating disk drives by default, but ownership over your library is more ephemeral than it seems. After all, most game purchases are just a license, and licenses can be revoked (as The Crew players know all too well).

После окончания войны дела компании Willys шли неважно, главный товар бренда резко перестал быть бестселлером. Чтобы удержаться наплаву компания начала экспериментировать и выпустила несколько новых моделей для гражданского использования.

В начале 1955 года избранная группа руководителей Willys Motors, Inc. приняла решение спроектировать новый джип — легкий грузовик непривычной компоновки, который дополнит линейку Willys. Разработка Jeep Forward Control началась в середине 1955 года.

Автомобиль создавался на узлах и агрегатах автомобиля CJ–5 ( Civilian Jeep — гражданская версия известного армейского Willys MD), что обеспечивало быструю и дешевую разработку, а так же преемственный дизайн передней части автомобиля.

Все автомобили Jeep Forward Control продавались только с кузовом пикап, по–нашему «головастик». Willys не предлагал модели с двойной кабиной или фургоны на гражданском рынке.

Еще раз — Willys не предлагал Jeep Forward Control с двойной кабиной или фургоны на гражданском рынке.

Хотя, такие проекты разрабатывались с 1957 года.

Jeep Forward Control не достиг своих целевых показателей продаж и в начале 1960–х годов Kaiser–Jeep решила, что военная версия может помочь увеличить производство. У компании уже было много военных контрактов и USMC был заинтересован в эффективном пикапе и фургоне.

По заказу армии США и корпуса морской пехоты Willys разработала вариант машины с двойной кабиной и кузовом типа фургон. Все они были построены в 1964–65 годах. Было четыре версии — пикап M676, M677 с двойной кабиной и M678–679 Van/Ambulance.

Полное наименование фургона, которым пытаются упрекать УАЗ Буханку — 1964 Kaiser Jeep Forward Control M–679 FC–170. К тому времени УАЗ–450 с кузовом фургон серийно выпускался 6 лет!

Еще раз — Jeep Forward Control с кузовом фургон появились только в 1964 году и производился только для армии.

Возможно, конструкция Forward Control опередила свое время: к тому моменту, когда Kaiser отказался от модели Forward Control в 1965 году, все автопроизводители «Большой тройки» пробовали пикапы и фургоны с выдвинутой вперед кабиной. Но Forward Control не подходил рынка США, который всегда предпочитал стиль, основанный на мощности и скорости, стилю, основанному на эффективности. Forward Control больше походил на европейский автомобиль. Напомню, что к тому моменту на пик успеха вышел Volkswagen Transporter Type 1 – небольшой заднемоторной фургон вагонной компоновки, который производился с 1950 года. То, что Willys не предлагал модели с двойной кабиной и фургоны/минивены на гражданском рынке, можно считать большой ошибкой компании.

Итоги:
Начало проектирования:
УАЗ–450 – 1954 год
Jeep Forward Control – 1955 год

База модели:
ГАЗ–450 – ГАЗ–69
Jeep Forward Control – Willys MB

Первый прототип:
УАЗ–450 – 1955 год
Jeep Forward Control – 1956 год

Серийное производство:
Jeep Forward Control – 1956 год
УАЗ–450 – 1958 год
Jeep Forward Control crew–cab / van – 1964 год

Можно с уверенность говорить, что обе машины вполне самобытны, имеют существенные конструктивные различия и не копируют друг друга ни в чем. УАЗ был раньше разработан, но послевоенная ситуация в стране не позволила быстро наладить серийное производство. Компания Willys, заработавшая капитал и развившая производство за время войны, справилась с задачей гораздо быстрее. Поэтому, отдавая первенство в начале серийного производства компании Willys, за УАЗом можно застолбить выпуск первого в мире полноприводного фургона и микроавтобуса вагонной компоновки.

И теперь, когда кто–то вам скажет, что Буханку скопировали с Jeep Forward Control, смело шлите его на… на этот пост.
