Starcraft 2 Confirmed

Damn, Blizzard make some ridiculously cool CGI sequences, did they do the dawn of war one too? Cant remember.

Bah, me too.


I know this is Blizzard, but you do all realise that Starcraft 2 is going to be a huge dissapointment? There is no way this will live up to the huge hype.

Its always been said that the unit balance in the original was pretty much perfect, and that it was considered a fluke...

£500 says that this game doesn't live up to the hype, and while it will be a very good game in its own right, people will be dissapointed. I anticipate 80% review scores.
 
"The screenies i saw make sc2 look like crap. Doesnt look any better than supcom to me."

whole point about sc was how it was brilliantly balanced, and how the 3 races were completly different. thats what made it the game it is today
 
The "look" of the game has nothing to do with why 10 gazillion people still play it today. It's all about the balance, no other RTS has even come close to the utterly perfect balance of SC's 3 races.
 
I would say i can look past the graphics, but ultimately, next gen RTS games should be looking more like this: World in Conflict.

They don't have to be to be fun.

Found a little picture in the intro of the trailer, when it flashes I thought, hey..something's gotta be in that and played it in slow motion.

StarCraft is a competitive RTS, it's not about playing a slow 3D rts.

Edit: Number one pont on starcraft2.com about the games features:

"Fast-paced, hard-hitting, tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game"

And they're right, simply put no other RTS comes anywhere near the balance and pace of StarCraft.... now I probably need to upgrade my PC :(

Edit2: I'm really glad they stuck with the same 3 races and didn't tack any more on just for the sake of it. The field of view looks identical to starcraft as well, nice and close for insane micromanagement of units :)

Top marks for first impressions from me :)

Considering you were nothing but doom and gloom about 3d rts games, this game must have made a good 1st impression:p


Edit: Gord while those look good it wouldnt be the 1st time that a screen shot hasnt match the final product. as for starcraft2 we have a better idea because its in game video (i think)

Not if they want to be competitive and play on a vast variety of systems lag-free they can't...

Indeed, it's their goals that stand out. They want it 3D but not to the extent of supcom, warcraft3, c&C3, CoH etc where unit response is pig slow. They basically want to make a pretty and updated starcraft and that's a-ok with me and the many millions of korean players/professionals :)
