It's already been done for Counter-Strike, so why not for Warcraft? A team of homebrew devs came together and brought us Warcraft 2D PSP - three guesses what it is. Obviously it's not as feature-packed as the real thing, but it's a good start to a 2D portable version of the game. Here are the features as described by the dev notes:
  • The game is played in real time, you're a single character
  • The game is played in 2D
  • You have the choice between 2 teams: Orcs and Humans
  • The game is playable online therefore only player against player, an artificial intelligence may be present in a new version
  • Different classes of people will surely be added in a new version
  • The game is now in English
  • A system of experience points and levels is available.
  • If the game appeals to many people, developers will be thoroughly inside and create a persistent universe with a server.
I hope these kinds of 2D remakes catch on. I'd like to see a 2D homebrew of Mirror's Edge, like the flash game, or Assassin's Creed. Anyway, Warcraft 2D PSP is written in LUA, and the programming team - composed of UnlimitedX, Darksymphonie, Azog, and Sox - are actually accepting help to develop the game.

» Nice, but..

Unfortunately this won't be lasting long. Blizzard is quick to hand out those C&D letters.



Still, it'll be nice to see what they can come up with until then.
