I like SC1. At that time it was nice game with nice graphics and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed C&C1. However I can't say I enjoyed for example C&C3 the same way... It didn't bring anything breathtaking... So I'm asking you why such high expectations from SC2? What revolutionary does it bring?

so you would accept something like Starcraft 2008 (or whatever year of release) only? just up-to-date graphics and new units like new tank with three instead of two cannons and that's it? Smile

Well I wasn't happy with WarCraft III but thanks to a certain group of Koreans it looks like Blizzard are keeping things in check for the sequel to StarCraft. Still, proof is in the pudding, need to play games like this to appreciate them in my opinion.

Honestly? Yes. Thought I'd prefer a more faithful update I'm scared of the risk of it turning into something I wouldn't like so I'd be happy with a simple update.

Well yeah...that and a good campaign would be beautiful. I think that there's no way you can really improve it gameplay-wise (except adding 1-2 minor updates and that's that).
So i'd rather they keep the old gameplay than introducing new and "revolutionary" feats that will most likely ruin the game for us.

As long as they don't try to do what so many other sequals has done wrong i'll be happy. Usually they update the graphics add or fiddle with a few tanks or whatever and change the storyline but really it's the same beats and everything so it's basicly the same game labeled as a sequal (same thing applies to movies with a few diffrences obviously).

No as long as they try to make the best game they can and don't try to forcefully put in old plot twists "in new clothes" (bad choice of words but i hope you guys/girls understand what i mean by that line) i'll be happy. I'm really not expecting this to be the most amazing game i've ever played in the history of gaming, i just want a good game that has a good storyline and fun gameplay.

I loved the story and gameplay in SC1 so hopefully they will deliver that in SC2 as well.

For those who haven't already seen, heres a link for the Zerg gameplay footage. Check out the burrowing Infest unit, looks so sweet! They burrow underground and sneak into enemy bases before infesting/infecting enemy buildings ; for example in the video you can see them spray (Zerg piss?) onto the Terran barracks before the barracks start spewing out zombie marines which attack the enemy in his own base Laughing Pretty sweet idea for a unit.

the one reason i liked sc (and wc3 for that matter) so much, wasn't really for its core game (vanilla if you like), but the endless numbers of custom maps (and custom settings). Just look what people can do in wc3 script wise (rpg's with save char codes and what not). I don't know any other game, that can be customized that much, simply by scripting stuff in the editor.

The reason behind Blizzard's success is less about revolutionary ideas and more of the smooth implementation of them.

here are a few features I am excited about:

Single Player
Terran campaign format, you get to play as Jim Raynor who is in charge of a battle cruiser. You will be a mercenary and will get to choose the missions you undertake. (I think you get to buy units with the cash you earn from the missions, units that you can take with you to your next mission? I might be dead wrong here though, might have got that from a different game)

Can't say much about protoss and zerg campaigns since they haven't introduced them >.<

The continuation of storyline isn't "revolutionary" but it's interesting enough to get people to buy the game. Since almost none of the storylines in the original game and expansion were canon it gives you continuous experience to the player Very Happy

Multiplayer

Now blizz is saying that they are working together with esports (in korea, I think) to make sure that this version of starcraft will be more tournament friendly, that's good Very Happy maybe we wont need 3rd party codes to observe a match

As a SC player, I think the new units introduced are quite awesome and will bring many new strategies to the table. Blizzard looked at the strategies used in SC1 and amplified some of them. Like for example the terran supply depot can now go underground to let your units through. No more blocking ramp with rax anymore! Very Happy

if you played SC1 to some extent in the past, after watching these new videos there is no way that you are not hyped Very Happy

It's done when it's done.

But it's too early to say if it'll be "pushed back" to 2009, as it stands now there's plenty of room for release this year, and with the rumor of the beta starting soon it's possible we might even see it at the end of Q3 2008, of course they'll probably intentionally delay it until thanksgiving for better sales.

They'll probably also want to stay clear of the WotLK release, which might be around summer.

Starcraft are one of the few games with a good story that's well executed. That's worth it enough, as with every entertainment medium being a platform for a good story.

Secondly the map editor. 'Tis pro.

Zomgzomgorrrrzzz i wanna play it!! Laughing

It seems very good to me. A little more "cartoonish" but i can live with that. The new units from every faction seem well thought out Smile

This i'll buy for sure if it's at least 85% as good as SC1 Cool

Tauren Marine
Trains From: Mulgore
Armament: 88mm Impala Gauss Rifle
Role: Shock Troops

In the old Confederacy, terran marines were mostly criminals or rebels who had undergone mandatory neural resocialization. Freed from any previous allegiances or ideologies, these fearless soldiers stood ready to defend Confederate interests with their lives but exhibited an annoying tendency toward petty larceny, vandalism, and occasional cannibalism. Confederate authorities were unable to requisition enough reliable troopers in this way, and eventually recruiters turned to a new source of fresh meat for the grinder.

The obscure planet of Azeroth was found to harbor a dizzying selection of humans, mutants, and aliens in a state of perpetual superstition and conflict. The most physically imposing of these warrior races were the so-called 'tauren,' an anthropomorphic bovine genotype with super-human stamina, overpowered racial combat abilities, and bizarrely well-developed horticultural skills.

While most tauren were satisfied with their agrarian culture and primitive existence, the Confederacy was able to lure away large numbers of young bulls for a life of adventure and violence along the galactic rim. Other tauren referred to these adventurers as 'mad cows,' and they were ostracized from the rest of their kine. The newly created tauren marines didn't care--they got neat-looking armor and big guns to own everyone else with. These beefy new soldiers are now an integral part of the Confederate military, and have managed to horn in on the roles traditionally filled by firebats and other infantry units.
