Re: starcraft 2

The game looks like it was made 3 years after the first rather than 10. Blizzard tend towards high polish and conformity to assure the fanbase. How disapointing.

And Galactic Civilizations II looks like it was made before starcraft. What's your point?

As is abundantly clear from my post, I was disapointed that the look of the game is so... pedestrian.

pedestrian.

What's that supposed to mean?

Re: starcraft 2

The units look blah. Not to mention tiny and childish.

Generic SciFi tanks/10.

It looks kick ass!

Re: starcraft 2

It looks like it's meant to run comfortably on a wide range of machines, and the 'cartoonish' graphics are a part of that. Rather than shovelling processor/gpu power into everything they represent things through exaggeration - note the insanely broad shouldered orcs in WCIII, for example. Plus they always make up for it with ridiculously detailed fmvs between chapters.

I don't really care how long it takes because Blizzard have never let me down. I don't even LIKE the Diablo-RPG or Warcraft-RTS styles they use, but they do everything so perfectly it doesn't matter

Re: starcraft 2

The units look interesting in terms of how they will be used. Blizzard tend not to focus on graphics (to ensure that as many people will be able to run it on their computers as possible) but instead focus more on gameplay, balance and campaigns/missions.

I hope the map editor in starcraft 2 will be just as powerful as warcraft 3's (if not more so) and I hope starcraft 2 will still use battle net.

I never got into starcraft. I was a Rise of Nations and AoE player.

I pity you then. Starcraft at its peak was the best online multiplayer game ever.

please dont say that....

but it would be awesome if they made a FPS version....

Re: starcraft 2

Yeah, one thing I would love to see is an MMO that is actually skill based rather than grind based.

 

[edders]

Re: starcraft 2

Personally I'm pretty certain they'll make a World of Starcraft (or possibly Diablo, but I expect the former) in a few years. The good news is that their next 'traditional' project will likely be Warcraft IV/Diablo III.

 

[Magic Man]

Re: starcraft 2

Diablo 3 please.

Starcraft Ghost (intended to be just that) was a delayed nightmare. Even if they were to release it (not going to happen), it would be 5 years outdated. However, I hear they are going to incorporate some of the story into SC2, so alls not lost

Kinda like what happened with Thrall's story

I think SC: Ghost was being made by Nihilistic (Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption) though wasn't it?

Re: starcraft 2

god im still pissed they made everything look...CARTOONISH!!! Why blizzard!?!?!?!! WHY!?

 

[Magic Man]

Re: starcraft 2

S'not as bad as Warcraft 3.....

Re: starcraft 2

looks nice to me , warcraft is also cartoonish , do i have to say that it is one of the most popular games ever ?

 

[jimmy spong]

Re: starcraft 2

your sayin that now , but when it is in stores and when you see all the world is playing it , youll buy your copy and play it for full 10 years ,

I bet that this style is best for hordes of Koreans who play starcraft original even now

 

[Magic Man]

Re: starcraft 2

I think the cartoonish style looks shite.

It really put me off Warcraft 3 when i was playing it, and i was a huge Warcraft fan.

Dawn of War has a fantasy but realistic gritty style, why cant Starcraft do that??

 

[jimmy spong]

Re: starcraft 2

it is differrent taste , i prefer more like cartoonish

 

[allthesedamnnamesaretaken]

Re: starcraft 2

that's just the starcraft intended style. There's no doubt blizzard can make a dark gritty game if they wanted to. Just look at the diablo series. They're as grim and dark as you can get.

Re: starcraft 2

Is there a demo out?

My old roomate was addicted to sc. I would like to try sc2 out, but I'm affraid that you really needed to be involved in the original. Any thoughts?

Trailer was sick btw.
