Well LOTR all you had to do is rush the opponents with hordes of men hence why that game worket. C&C3 kind of works, the experiance is slowed down due to the inpercise controls. Sure it works, but not too well for thoes who use all the advanced techniques and quick keys.
Seeing how StarCraft is bigger then both thoes games, I could just see the outcry from fans everywhere if SC2 came to a console that didn't have at least K&M support. If it came to consoles at all that is. Lastly unlike EA, Blizzard isn't fluent in console archetecture, so the likeliness of it hitting consoles at all is even slimmer. Most amazing jew boots |
I don't think I've ever been happier being proved wrong! Hopefully the quality of the game will hold up to the original.
Maybe my dreams of a "true" Diablo III will finally come true... What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Well Diablo 2 launched two years after StarCraft 1 so hopefully we'll see a Diablo 3, 2-3 years after StarCraft 2. Or at least we can always dream of hoping.
FELIPE NO |
How ya doing, buddy? |
I wouldn't expect any major graphic overhauls from what we see now. Mostly what they're going to work out during the alpha and beta stages are game balance more than anything, since that's the most important aspect of a strategy title.
They've been working on SC2 since WC3:TFT was released, so they've already had about 3 years to come up with the graphics we see now. And if you've learned anything about Blizzard over the years, it should be that their art department isn't keen on redesigning their graphics. To be honest, they're pretty cool. I like them. How ya doing, buddy?
<@a_lurker> I like zeal better than guru.
<@a_lurker> There, I said it, I'm not taking it back. |
Sup GFF faggots, who can't handle shit? |
I hope they don't shut downStarcraft after starcraft2 comes out
Lol I hope it doesn't kill all of those animation-timing techniques that were on the first one =.= There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Hot damn..the only game that will make me upgrade my PC.
And I hope it can surpass the original (in terms of gameplay), since none of the original members/developers are left. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Everything I hoped for and more. I can see their strategy now: simple, effective, devastating.
2008 - Startcraft 2 RTS 2010 - Starcraft 2 RTS expansion where things end badly for the heroes. 2012 - Universe of Starcraft MMORPG What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I think I'll get this. Looks like it will be a fantastic game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Unless of course the art team is occupied with the task of finishing the art for all the units we didn't see in the initial teasers, which is entirely possible. Still, when the game is inevitibly delayed, that'll give the artists more time to tweak things. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
So for example, if I have a fighter pilot, a human, bipid, 2 legs, 2 arms, head, etc., I can swap the 3D Model of the pilot and replace with it the model & skin of say, a jedi from Star Wars. Since they have the same basic skeleton underneath, all that would likely be required is to adjust the areas of influence in the lightsaber and the Robes. This is what I got at least from 3Ds Max and the way Blizzard maps their characters is probably not as exact or as close to that as it might seem. Still, given that the protoss and terran units are generally bipeds and walk up right, it wouldn't be too hard to swap out the models for something different in the future, say a graphical change from somewhat-cartoony to a more gritty & dirty appearance. The Zerg however are a different story and since I have no experience in non-human modelling I can't really comment on how they would change up the units for those. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
There's literally nothing dissapointing about it so far.
How ya doing, buddy? |

Well, the good news about the somewhat cartoony graphics is that they largely just seem to be because of the color palletes and shades rather than entirely because of the models themselves (although some of the terran designs seem pretty oddly shaped). With a few small tweaks to contrast and saturation/color, the game looks a bit more similar to the style in the original Starcraft, for example:
I was speaking idiomatically. |
WoW, that picture modification is PRO and definatly proves your point. Either way though it's StarCraft 2 and for all it matters it could all in in wire-frame and I'd still be excited just because the first one was that damn good. Luckly for me however this artistic look to it plays in my favor, so I don't really have any complaints.

All he did was mess around in the Hue/Saturation dialogue...
Anyway, the graphics really don't bother me. What I really care about is the gameplay balance, especially with the Protoss getting so many new and powerful units. Why them, anyway? I never did like the Protoss... FELIPE NO |
Ummm... if you've been watching the videos on gametrailers.com the Terrans have recieved a lot of new stuff too.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There must be another that I haven't watched yet. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm affraid that I'm going to have to apologize for my abruptness. My friend told me that there were a lot of new stuff for the terrans on the gametrailers videos, I've just watched them myself and it's more Protoss stuff, lol ^^;
So I'm going to have to take back what I said earlier. However there's lots of time yet and they'll probably just focus on one race at a time in the unveiling of all their shinney new features. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I fucking KNEW it'd be a Starcraft sequel. A Starcraft MMO would've been fucking crazy, as WoW is still fresh and strong.
Can't wait to see how this'll look :3 I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.
