hell, it's about time.

RE: Starcraft 2 by MeEtc on 05-20-2007 at 02:21 AM

this is going to ruin everything. StarCraft was, and still is a great hit. A sequel is going to ruin everything.

they have never announced it afaik, normally when asked they would just say they  that they plan to revisit Starcraft at a later date, and they stopped Starcraft ghost because like billions of consoles were coming out so they wanted to wait : <

Looks nice! :)
But by the looks of it, I won't be able to play it on my old 233mhz computer with the stupid graphics card it has just like I could play the original Starcraft ... :(

Saw the cinematic for it yesterday, looks awesome.

RE: Starcraft 2 by andrewdodd13 on 05-20-2007 at 10:58 AM

I wants it :(. dt is right, Blizz haven't ever ruined a game by making a sequel... Diablo II is just as good as (if not better, imo) than Diablo, and the same goes for the Warcraft series. (Warcraft III is right up there as one of the greatest RTS games... ever).

I wonder if they'll do a beta test before it comes out, like they did for WoW.

Free beta test (with official CD keys too)!!!!

And they also seem to have really good timing cause I'm getting bored of Warcraft III: FT.

The cinematic trailer looked awesome (in terms of graphics), but it just plain sucked otherwise.

Didn't know they just delayed it (as dt said), I was under the impression they just pulled the plug on it because it wasn't working for them and they'd rather waste however much they spent on development then tarnish their one-hell-of-a reputation...

Yes I agree, it didn't show you very much; but the actual game trailers looked awesome :P

I suppose, what I didn't like is that the whole game appears to be well-lit (there was even one scene in there with grassy knolls on a sunny day :p), whereas the SC was based entirely in dark/night-time settings which I think suits the game much better.

Conclusion: It looks exactly like wc3 with different units/terrain, ie. in terms of graphics engine/design.
Don't get me wrong though, Warcraft III was a great game but I dont want to see what the same game twice under a different name...
