I’ve been waiting for this shit for years… now only if that Daum video would load.
Don’t know if this has been posted in here or not, but here’s actual video of the gameplay and so far it looks FUCKING good.
The Protoss sound fucking scary with their aerial units, imagine if the Carrier is still in this game. Mothership + Carrier + Warp Rays + Phase Prisms that allow the Warp Gate to teleport in newly built units IMMEDIATELY the enemy base = DOOM!
I can only begin to imagine Zerg will be able to counter this amount of technology. Plus, many of the Terran and Protoss units really do look identical, though nothing is finalized, I hope they are just place holders. For example, the Terran and Protoss defenses, the Terran Siege Tank and Battle Ship, just 3D versions their predecessors, which is not bad but it’s not good either because this game is an opportunity to elaborate and evolve on previous designs. In fact, ALL of the Terran and Protoss structures I have seen thus far ARE just 3D versions of their predecessors (gateway, photon cannon, command center, bunker etc.).
Again, I know tampering with perfection is risky but I think it would be a shame to wait for so long and still have the same visuals.
Most of all, I am interested to see what new gameplay mechanics are adopted. I love SC gameplay but I thoroughly enjoyed WC3’s hero system and it would fit rather well in SC2, given the rich history and diversity of characters.
I’m creaming off those fucking vids!!!
The end of the second video is fucking genius… The zerg surving a nuclear blast, creeping out and speelling “GG”!!! THANKS YOU BLIZZARD!
Zerg ftw.
Rushing shit down since '98.
Im so excited for this game!!
Blizzard++
:looney::looney:
StarCraft 2…the sequel to probably the longest running competitive video game in history. Too bad I’m a fighting gamer.
Yeah, but I love my PC, console, and handheld games just the same. Also, it’s something new, so yeah…
Omg Starcraft 2 Looks Fucking Sexy@!!!
Man, I find the whole “warping in” with these new pylons a bit…iono, over-doing it a little bit. I mean, Protoss units look fucking nice, AND FINALLY, Zealots don’t walk like they have pineapples up their ass, but shit, man, I really don’t know.
I’ll ofcourse get it, no matter what, I mean, c’mon, it’s Starcraft.
I wonder if they will keep the 200 food count limit, it’d be crazy if they did, I mean, just think about the kind of PC you’ll need for that. The game will more than likely be released no sooner than next year, though i’m expecting a 2009 release - Blizzard loves to take their sweet time to perfect their games, and that’s why I could care less how long they take to make this game.
SC2 does look alot like WC3, but only time will tell, I really just can’t wait.
The gameplay looks fucking superb.
“GG” lol.
gg
Edit - Just saw it was coming out in November of this year?!
HOLY SHIT. GREATEST B-DAY PRESENT FOR ME. EVER. Thank you, Blizzard.
Edit 2 - Oh my god, I hope it is possible to select more than 12 units…oh man, that’d be some crazy shit.
Edit 3 - lol, it seems like Blizzard took a lot of the imbalances from SC1 and took em out in 2. The Immortals have like, ever lasting shields, since Immortals are the new Goons and used to get pwned by tanks…hahaha.
Not Korean… but there go my pants.
Great… Another way to waste my life, that’s just what I need…
I actually DON’T want them to do this. I don’t play a ton of games anymore, but from what I have played in the past, between the WC series, the C&C series and that robot one Ace and HellFX used to play - I very much dislike ‘hero units’ in a multi-player setup. Sure its nice for single player - but the beauty of SC was that you could send 5 control groups of a unit say zealots - and by the time they’ve finally bit the dust - you ave another 5 control groups up. The whole ‘macro’ mangement thing I like so much more. I remember one time I built acontrol group of queens to use as defense to terran siege tanks, just to find out that with all teh micro needed for it, I never used more than 3 queens the other queens became scouts and wraith bait.
- :bluu:
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Man, I CANNOT wait to play this when it comes out in 2099.
And I’m with Unreal - fuck that hero unit shit. I want legions of anonymous units marching to their deaths for me, and then upon their deaths, immediately another fresh legion ready to go.
I will officially be walking around for the rest of the day with an erection that’s gonna have all my employees thinking I popped 15 viagras. It probably won’t go down for 3 weeks.
oh shit
gonna be cool when it comes out. im playing warcraft three right now , heh
Am I the only one who has an issue with how close the camera is to the field? I swear, the protoss walkers take up a quarter of the freakin screen.
If you watch the video, you can actually zoom in and out of set-up…I don’t know if it’s gonna be possible to do that in real game, but I think it will.
Zealots are fuckin TIIIGHTTT!! They can dash into battle, lol, FINALLY. It’s like, they wavedash into that shit.
Also, where the hell are the vultures? Did they get taken out for those flying Fire Bats or whatever those guys were?
By the looks of it, Terran Heavy Metal will be quite obsolete against Immortal/Zealot combo.
The whole new nuking process is a tad bit gay, imo, I mean, it used to be just a small little red dot…now it’s this huge crosshair that you can see from a mile away.
Along with the bigger units, the maps are gonna be geinormous. I think I will be upgrading my rig once this comes out - i’ve been meaning to upgrade, anyways.
What kinda maps we looking at here? 2048x1346?
Ah, I can’t wait. If it comes out on November 20 of this year like they said it would, i’ll save the money I get for b-day and just buy new shit for my PC and get SC2, lol.
SC2 FIGHTINGG!!
Don’t get too excited, your gunna have to wait another 5 years for them to release it.
They said that nothing in the video is Final and plus the other races probably get crazy ass units like the mothership too ,that black hole ability is beautiful . Since the zerglings now turn into exploding balls what are they gonna do with infested terran?
these units that can jump onto other terrain are too good,no more strategic ramp blocks or siege drops?
weird that they didn’t show any regular templars.
These are from http://www.starcraft2.com/artwork.xml
uhhh?
melee hydralisk?
