thank you for that link.

In anycase now with this announcement I can say the world has just become more just. Although it may come at the cost of a large portion of the internet.

Do I spy... marines with riot shields? In those screenshots up on IGN?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm hoping Blizzard gets an english version out eventually, by which I mean by tomorrow morning.

EDIT: Hahaha, just spotted an ad for "Nuke cola" in one of the screenshots.

I was speaking idiomatically.

UUUUUUNNNNNGGGGGH

Game looks beautiful. Fuck, beautiful isn't the right word for it. ;_;

I still sorta wish they would bring out Ghost maybe for PS3/Xbox 360

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Got my friend to translate a little of it (apparently it stopped loading halfway for her), she says that the text that was displayed on the monitor went something like "The present condition : He is in active service.."

lol. Sorry for the spam post that got deleted, brain froze xD

Wow... I was blown away from the announcement. I have a farily old laptop by PC gaming standards, about 2-3 years old. I just hope that, given Blizzard would want to have the game to a wide enough audiance, that I can play the game fine. I'm sure it will be, but I'm having visions of "Starcraft 2, only for Windows Vista & DX10", even though the screenshots don't look DX10 quality.

I preorder things about once in a blue moon but I am definetly getting this when it comes out.

The screenshots that are up on IGN show a rather cartoony appearance. I really hope they drop that later. God knows how long Blizzard has in mind to keep us waiting. So thing may still change quite a bit. Isn't the screenshots based on some very early, possibly pre-alpha build?

Though some details surfaced from Gamespot that has me a tad bit worried:

Mind you if I remember correctly this guy left before C&C3. But the point is this game isn't exactly under the same management as SC1. I'm a tad bit nervous blizzard might screw up on this...

Also on one of the screenshots you see this mining poster saying "Real men drill deep."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Huh, it actually looks really nice. I was hoping they'd go for the more gritty look of Starcraft instead of the somewhat cartoony look of Warcraft 3 (I was wondering they'd use the Warcraft 3 engine actually, anyone else remember that teaser at the end of WC3 when you beat it on Hard mode?), but it seems they found a nice middleground.

Can't wait to see it in motion, if they can make a faithful transition to 3d and update the gameplay accordingly I'll be all over it. I'll just be happy that it will have all the refinements they made to Warcraft 3 (matchmaking system, unit selection, etc.).

Oh, and can we tell Denicalis to shut the fuck up now?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

AHHHH, then this gives the inkling of a possibility that it could maybe possibly perhaps in the future SOMEHOW land on the Xbox 360 and I won't have to worry about upgrading my PC!

Nice, Blizz! Back to RTS.

Now let's see which's coming faster: Starcraft II or Duke Nukem

Bubba's Gas and Grits? Truck stops OF THE FUTURE!

I'm actually rather relieved that they aren't messing with the core gameplay too much. There'd be too much risk of them screwing something up if they did a total redesign like they did with Warcraft 3. They're playing up to each faction's strengths, and that's a good thing. Protoss warping in completed units to anywhere covered by a Pylon just sounds sick. The highlight for me, though, was the one screenshot where nearly the entire screen is covered in zerglings. No more map limit!

Not liking the cartoony style either, but that can easily change before the game launch. Hopefully somebody at Blizzard will note how goofy the siege tanks look. The things that melt entire advancing armies should not look vaguely like playground equipment.

I hope this is at least another year off, though. I accidentally painted myself into a corner, and I can't upgrade my computer without replacing the processor, motherboard, RAM, and video card all at once. I think I'm going to want a new rig for this, but I'm gonna need time to save up.

Though I know its far too early for them to say if they'll press the issue further, but I wonder if we'll see that 4th race of the hybrid Zerg/Protoss clones that we saw in the secret mission of Brood War. Perhaps they'll be a non-playable, enemy race?

There may be hope for blizzard yet. That is if they don't decide to drop it like a brick, like they did with SC: Ghost.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As long as it doesnt stray too far off from what Starcraft used to be and the game mechanic doesnt resemble WC3 too much I'll be a happy man. Either way this is on top of my wishing list (yay finally something to look forward to).

The cartoony 3d is very interesting. It looks good, but I think the game deserves a more realistic look.

It would be so Blizzard to have that Korean text say something like "This Christmas/Fall", "January 2008", etc .
November 20th, apparently.

I'm quite excited now that Blizzard is finally delivering in some sense.

Hahahaha of fuck I'm glad I upgraded my machine. The game looks pretty solid thus far from the three gameplay trailers up on IGN, and I like the new Protoss voices. Jesus fuckin' Christ this makes my whole week. Thank you Blizzard.

StarCraft II is being developed for the PC. We have no current plans to bring the game to any console platform.

God damn! This is going to be sweet. This is why Blizard is one of the greatest developers of all time. They don't come out with a slew of games at once and take their time. Also they don't fuck with shit that ain't broke.

StarCraft 2 Features:
Fast-paced, hard-hitting, tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game

Three completely distinct races: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg

New units and gameplay mechanics further distinguish each race

Groundbreaking single-player "story-mode" campaign

Vibrant new 3D-graphics engine with support for dazzling visual effects and massive unit and army sizes

Full multiplayer support, with new competitive features and matchmaking utilities available through Battle.net

Full map-making and scripting tools to give

See this is how you make a sequel ^^

Jazz: Seeing how the last console port of StarCraft was possibly one of the games that killed RTSs on consoles, I don't think StarCraft 2 will be rushing to any consoles. However if it did, the only system that would make sense would be the PS3 for it's Mouse & Keyboard support.

I don't know if you've played LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth II or Command and Conquer 3 for the 360, but their controls (with a standard controller) are great for an RTS.
