have you considered visiting http://www.starcraft2.com/ for the high res verion? :p

(its jawdroppingly awsome btw, best game cinematic I've ever seen)

[Typhus666]

This looks amazing!!!!!

[*CCCP*]

Fuck up, how can Blizzard fuck up. Only way they can fuck up is if they take this game and go Toys ' R Us style, otherwise this will be pure gold.

dizzam!

[Suhne]

Some of the new Protoss units in the video looked sick as hell. Too bad you know it is just gonna be a zergling rush all over again.

[Typhus666]

those walkers are a complete rip off of war of the worlds, but then again who doesnt rip off that idea now days. IMO this game is going to be fucking awesome

[Rebo]

btw this is SC2 alpha, u know how look SC1 alpha ?? well all can change :P
blizzard write they want take some pro sc players and they will work with them on sc2

the half life 2 walkers were out before wotw's ;p.

[Tarun]

All walkers with 3 or 4 legs are ripoffs of wotw these days. Just as all games involving xp and orcs are a ripoff of WoW.
Heck, I've seen people quit ryzom because they had a halloween event, "just like WoW".

also you forgot those warhammer (lolol, ripped off warcraft) and warhammer 40k (roffles, ripped off starcraft) games looming on the horizon :wink:

[Rebo]

if u dont know SC1( 1998 ) had 4 legs walking things

[Bloodash]

tripods and orcs have been here forever, don't think blizzard thought up orcs or tripods by themselves, they just adapted a known concept

[Taro]

anyway i saw new units and skills could be interesting, i don't see any changes in gameplay. Sounds good =)

Yes please!

[megalomaniac]

Watched the gameplay trailer and to some extent, I'm disappointed. While between WC2 and StarCraft the genre had barely evolved, the last 10 years didn't pass without big changes to the way I expect RTS games to work nowadays

now I'm not one who basically wants SC2 to be Company of Heroes in Space, but there's stuff I don't think I can live without anymore, stuff like cover, a less micro-heavy resource system and at least aesthetically destructible environments, as well as automation features from SupCom like transports and patrolling units which go to repair and refuel on their own. But no, heck even the UI seems to have barely evolved. Point here is "seems"!

sure, I'll prolly love the graphics and the story, and to see at least some of my favourite units from the original game (I do hope they don't replace/scrap too many of my old favs tho). But from what I saw in that gameplay trailer it's "only" StarCraft in 3D, with some new units but other than that, more of the same. I'm sure the 1337 clicks-per-second hardcore players and those Korean nuts who don't play anything else for 10 years straight will love it, and I've read a lot of statements like "it's StarCraft with contemporary graphics, just what I wanted", but personally I expected more.

(that's purely based on what I read and saw in videos so far, maybe they have a lot more tricks and changes up their sleeves, but forgive me if I doubt it until I see it)

[Bloodash]

I agree mega, the change from WC2 to WC3 was alot more visible then SC1 to SC2 from what we saw for now, but the game is far from finished tough, and blizzard hasn't dissapointed me yet in any game

[Gugen]

i hope they don't automate anything that will take away the skill from the game, thats what most bw players pride themselves on is being good and out microing/macroing your opponent, if u automate everything might as well just play every other shit rts out there.i understand they need to please casual fans as well, but if they make it too "easy" of a game they will probably ruin the longevity of it being a long lasting competitive rts game. i just hope the end result will be great and everyone will be happy for the most part.

[poptarts]

protoss looks overpowered as usual

[Tarun]

wait, I thought zerg was overpowered because they could just rush, and terran was overpowered cos of bunkers and siege tanks.

[Gugen]

protoss isnt overpowered, everything is pretty balanced atm but terran can be quite gay, but same goes for all the races.

[Hurin]

Terran isn't gay, you are.
