Let there be pics.... http://media.pc.ign.com/media/850/850126/imgs_1.html

This looks and sounds like one hell of a game.

Esoteric · 05-19-2007, 04:48 AM

Can't...
fucking...
wait...

!!!!!!!!!!

Reese · 05-19-2007, 06:03 AM

Very impressive Screenshots. They kept the look of the original game but made it a whole lot better. I can't wait.

Like I said.

I'm not a huge RTS fan.. first there was crappy AI that caused the computer opponent to get hopelessly tangled with itself. Then there was the 7-Grunt rush. Then there was the insane jump in difficulty between "Easy" and "Normal." Then the AI refused to build sea units. Then there were nukes. Then there was 3D, making it so even the most impressive computers would chug with the sheer amount of polygons on the screen.

I'd rather just instagib you.

Mac decided in the mid to late 90s that the "PC" label wasn't it's cup of tea so they started referring to themselves simply as computers or Macs, no longer PCs. Since then, the difference in terminology has stuck, and generally PC now refers to computers that run only Windows, and Mac of course refers to computers produced by Apple Inc.

As to the crack, I've been clean since April of 2000.

I'll be in that.

skier, those screenshots are incredible! Thank you!

MexicanOnABike · 05-19-2007, 11:36 AM

check youtube. hteres 2 gameplay videos with the protoss and you see the new terran units and zergs units. it's insane!! i'll reedit if i can find th elinks

Willravel · 05-19-2007, 12:00 PM

I would have killed to do the music for this. The only problem I had with the original Starcraft was the music.

MexicanOnABike · 05-19-2007, 02:50 PM

will: the 1st starcraft's music was fucking awesome! well the Terran's music atleast. I have it on my mp3 player.

Willravel · 05-19-2007, 02:58 PM

Well not only is the music subjective, but I feel like it's a tertiary concern that should take a back seat to playability. If SC2 has half the enjoyable play of the original, we'll be looking at a massive hit and something that will take me away from my family the same way the original almost made me break my 4.0 in high school. I look forward to this with fierce anticipation.

Do we have a release date yet? Maybe a Beta?

ironpham · 05-19-2007, 07:29 PM

From the gameplay videos and the screenshots, I'd say this game looks damn good. And, Hal, just because you couldn't handle the RTS genre, it doesn't mean you can bash the 7-grunt rush.

No release date or beta date has been announced.

Jozrael · 05-19-2007, 07:47 PM

Hell, it's about time.

snowy · 05-19-2007, 10:55 PM

I'm just looking forward to getting my hands on a good RTS. It's been a number of years since I've really enjoyed a game in that genre, and I just know SC2 won't disappoint.

Kadath · 05-21-2007, 05:47 AM

So I was totally underwhelmed by those shots. It looks like a graphic upgrade of the first game and that's all.

You mean exactly like the sequel that gamers have been crying for, for nearly a decade now?

Yeah, same here.

Here's to hoping it's more than that though.

Lasereth · 05-22-2007, 03:00 AM

Watch the official Blizzard gameplay trailer on their website if you aren't impressed yet. By the end of that you'll be wanting to play it right now. It looks amazing, visually and gameplay-wise. Keep in mind that the camera is fully 3D. Hell, the entire game is 3D even though it doesn't look like it in the screenshots. The terrain improvements are so awesome.

Carno · 05-22-2007, 07:42 AM

Wow, 3D, a feature I have never seen before!

I watched the videos, and they just look like SC1 with new clothes on.

MexicanOnABike · 05-22-2007, 07:44 AM

I'm getting the gameplay videos right now. if it's the same i saw on youtube, then good. but I hope it's new vids!

Jinn · 05-22-2007, 08:16 AM

I just stargasmed.

Kadath · 05-22-2007, 10:42 AM

So I watched the video. It's more impressive than the screenshots, I'll grant, but I'm still not wowed. I wonder if they finally introduced waypoints. Lasereth, I don't understand what you are seeing about terrain improvements. It looks like they just introduced some units that ignore the fake height differential that indicates an impassable wall on the map.

ironpham · 05-22-2007, 10:53 AM

I think what Blizzard was really aiming to keep the gameplay as close to the original game as possible. The original Starcraft had a massive fanbase and the goal is to keep them by not adding too many new things like the lame concept of "hero" classes. The reason a person would get this game is not because it's new and inventive, but because it carries lots of the same elements as the original.
