OMG thoes screenshots are amazing!! How did they make it look so much like the first one??!?!?!?!?
Sorry, just had to do it.
Wether or not this game has good graphics is besides the point, it's the gameplay that is going to matter and that can't really be seen from a video or screenshots. _______________________________ Pleese exucse any seplling erorr's in tihs psot |

Looks like a big piece of ****. Why is everything about cartoonification nowdays. I want dark, gritty, real scifi instead. Tiberian Sun atmosphere, original Starcraft Atmosphere. Not this new age crap. Hope they revise their current approach, otherwise looks like its going in the same category as CNC3 for me, ie still on the store shelf.

There's a Trailer out, and I'm d/l now.
First thoughts? I'm worried. Very worried. The screenshots section looks like a starcraft mod for warcraft. everything is very cartoony. In fact on one of them I can see background planets through holes in the ground and it made me think of worms. 
Not enough grit. Hopefully won't stay that way

Meh. The only Blizzard games I've liked are Warcraft II and Diablo 1. Games after those are far from original. Some Supcom players may have trouble playing such archaic gameplay as I did with Starcraft after Total Annihilation.

:( its too sad that the days in gamebusiness are gone, where jewels like Starcraft or Dungeon Keeper were possible. Nowadays too much money is involved and no1 really dares to come up with something really inventive. On the other hand, no way they could have handled so much anticipation. But still, those 3d remakes of oldschool style RTS are pathetic, letting everything look like goddamn plastic toys. SupCom is the real deal, i wait till a Starcraft Mod comes out

All bleeding edge graphics do is shrink the number of potential consumers by making it impossible to play on lower end systems. Blizzard isn't stupid - their past games have proven that, in the end, people will take awesome, timeless gameplay (SC and Diablo 2 for example) over kick a** graphics and weak gameplay. Unlike Warcraft 3, blizzard is catering directly to the people who played and enjoyed Starcraft. Especially the pro gaming type circuits in Korea.
Starcraft 2's graphics look like a very nice 3D upgrade while still holding onto the cartoonish SC "look". Its funny that you mention C&C3, a game that it is all graphics, no gameplay and will be forgotten in a years time (not that its very popular now).

I find it shocking that you guys are *****ing about SCII when it's only in "Pre-alpha"
"The game will release "when it's done" for PC and Mac only. It's currently in pre-alpha stages of development, and has been in production at Blizzard since the release of WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne in 2003."
Give it some time I"m sure they will refine everything in this game. It's Blizzard I mean come on they are slow as **** to get games to market but when they do... Fans have epilptic fits at the awesomness before them!

Agreed, From my understanding the issues developed with the orginal starcraft development team that delayed SCII's development. Add in the whole WoW phomomen(sp?) and it's not a hard grasp to see the long delay... Also I think if Blizzared announced that they are developing SCII and DIDN'T have something to show after almost 10 years since the first was released riots would have broken out on the streets. So I for one want to thank Blizzard for keeping society intact!

Not too much about the first game was cartoony..... That was about as realistic as it got for the time period.
Committing suicide while listening to an old record aint exactly cartoon, and I can bet nothing hard edged is going to be in this game. For fear of hurting the tottering toddler that is profit.

Somehow they managed to make a popular torrent slow. Be glad you don't play WoW, they have to use it to patch their client. And most of the time, it doesn't even go, the tracker gets overloaded, goes nowhere, and for bonus points appears to be run on the same server as the website, so you can't go there for help.

Seriously guys... I've seen the video linked in this thread. The gameplay is nothing like war III is, the font is nothing close to what warcraft III looks like, and the engine looks well different.
Starcraft was dark, but after a few days of gaming, everyone just turned the brightness on, the gameplay made the game and this won't change, some of the units design sucks a little bit I will agree (the Human BattleCruiser namely) and I liked the old zerglings design better (might just be I am way too used to it ^^) but in the end, I trust this will be a very good game.
Time will tell, I will be playing this; and namely, SC II has nothing to do with CNC, I might sound a bit fanish but CNC is nothing compared to starcract. ---------------- An eye for an eye make a whole world blind.

I remember in the origional SC, the protoss rocked. The foot troops im thinking in this instance. The only problem is that for the time it took one bloody protoss to come out of the oven, you'd have had like 20 marines. And in the end it was the swarms that won...
Dont even get me started on the zergling quick raids!!! those players were so annoying

I have 1 question and only one.
What about the Zerg/Protoss Hybrid at the end of Broodwars Bonus Mission 2?
will it be a new race? Or will it be a Fight to the death against them in the last mission?

The handful of articles on offer suggest there are only going to be the three playable races. Shame, but probably for the best so as not to anger....you know, Korea. --------

I donno guys, it looks cheap...
All this stuff about starcraft being so balanced. Who says so? Probably a rumor made up by the fans themselves. I hear plenty of people complaining about zerg rushes but nobody "dares" to say it's overpowered cause that'd be sacrilege.
It looks so old I don't think players will pick it up. RTS's need to move forward: look at supreme commander and look at why C&C3 is such a failure.

Got all videos and screenshots ! this game is SO HAWTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! been waiting for this for who knows how long :D
From all the videos I have seen so far, I found 1 thing alittle overpowered, though nothing u see in those footage is even close to the final product,.. protoss have a new Ship (mothership?) that looks like the Nexus Building that has 5 diferent abilitys so far:
++ LINKY TO THE VIDEO ½½
- Teleported immediately to a specified - Multiple guided blue missile-lasers-thingys from all around the ship to both land and air enemy units - Bubble shield that protects everything inside the bubble (and i mean not a scratch to whatever is inside the bubble.) - 3 HUGE + 4 small Hollywood-Independence-Day kind of lasers that destroy buildings and units bellow the ship in 1-2 seconds - A Black-Hole weapon that sucks all units within range to it and they simply vanish
p.s: If u don't want duplicate threads give this one a normal subject like hmm.. let me think.. "Starcraft 2 is here" sounds good.

Just watched this demo vid (www.gamershell.com/tv/8065.html)
I have to say this is going to be a game where those who say Graphic > Gameplay will hate it, While the Gameplay > graphics will love it imo.
Looks alot of fun tbh, although personally id prefer it to have C&C 3 standard graphics (or Supcoms scale lol) and that gameplay :D

Having looked at a bunch of game demo videos, I'm a bit mixed reactions.
On the one hand, the graphics aren't that good. Not bad, but not great. Maybe they'll polish it up before release, but probably not. Also, the gameplay looks quite old fashioned by modern RTS standards. Another thing is that it seems quite cartoony, in a world where cartoony RTS's went out years ago (since graphics stopped it being a necessity).
On the other, ITS STARCRAFT. If the gameplay is old fashioned because they've tried to keep the flavour of the original, then it'll be no bad thing. Tbh, if they just slapped a new skin on the original, most people would be happy. And while the graphics aren't insane, it might mean that it'll run a lot smoother than some other games (I can't even play SupCom until I upgrade my computer AGAIN, so that's a pretty strong negative in that game's column).
Still looking forward to it though, and will still part with some cash to get a copy (high praise in the world of the torrent). --------

I love the reaction that its omg awesome.
People nowdays will buy anything thats put infront of them, regardless of actual quality. WoW for example.
This new Starcraft looks like a pile of crap. No innovation. The same looks as WC3. These new fad walker units that you can find in quite a few new releases. The cinematics look exactly like WC3. The exact same as Ghost, make everything a joke, add in some glowing eyes, and the money will flow in.
The original Starcraft was dark and contemplative, not this new age bright and stupid nonsense. I for one do not want CNC3 with Starcraft models. I want StarcraftII, not some knock off designed to pad wallets.

Blizzard`s games always had breat histories behind it (Warcraft, Diablo... And specially, Starcraft)
You`ll see it... there will be a before and an after for the games, once SC II is launched.
/emote understands perfectly that many here may not remember what Starcraft was a decade ago (because they were yet on breastfeeding...)

Geese... you guys giving SC2 all this heat... have you played a Blizzard game? They're the people who came up with the cartoony look for serious games. Warcraft 2 is cartoony, so is Warcraft 3, and so is Starcraft, with every unit's armour and such being painted with bright neon colors. Diablo is probably the only game that could be considered "serious" when it comes to art, but bright, bright colors are displayed on spells and such to let you know "THIS IS GOING TO KILL YOU". It's not as noticeable, but even Diablo has it, just like every other Blizzard game ever made.
Do not call it "WoW graphics" -- Blizzard made their name off of colorful, if not cartoony grahpics. ----- Griffin -- 100,000 ISK ECM - Multispectral Jammer Is -- 20,000 ISK Standard Missile Launcher Is -- 10,000 ISK War target sobbing over losing a fight in his T2 fitted Battleship -- priceless |

allready adressed
you can only have one on the battle field at a time
I hate to bring up CNC3 again because the games are like comparing WoW to EvE but, it's like the nuke or ion cannon but instead of you can hit them no matter what ou have to get to them.
each race will have there own suer ship.
also, no offence but zergling rush? overpowered? lolz. tell that to the korean players that get wiped when they use it lol.

it looks like starcraft 1. but you can move the camera. the satills don't look cartoony at all. they are animated in a cartoonly way but.
well cartoony maybe but my point is no more than starcraft 1. I think it's time to create a side by side example picture.

a reason for people being paranoid of cartoony graphics might be GHOST thank god it never hit the stores.
after repeatedly watching the footage and digging out the old SC i get used to it hell, i'm even beginning to like it.
in the end, no matter what they do to us with SC2, we're all going to dig it.

Having played RTS games that've come out since Starcraft...most notably Relic's Dawn of War, and Company of Heroes, I look at the gameplay vids that have been released, and feel a surge of hate for the sheer ARROGANCE of Blizzard.
Some companies innovate, or at least try. Blizzard just churns out the same pap. If you like the taste, fine, but don't expect me to shell out $XX.XX for the same game but with 3D. I expected more, but shouldn't have. ___________________________________

Bugger that. Give me the original game that can be played at higher resolutions, and I'll be happy.
I normally like ground-breaking games, but the low-resolution is the only real problem with Starcraft when played on modern hardware. Might as well go 3D while they're at it. I'm sure they'll have more story to tell, but I never played through the single-player mode, anyway.

come to think of it if SC 2 doesn't have a form of point capture victory or resource gain like DoW/CoH I think I will be way to frustrated with uber turtlers to get much fun from it (turret/lurker D etc ftw here, probably all i will play if it is the same as SC1)

Starcraft is considered by most to be one of the most well-balanced RTS games ever made. Why mess with perfection? They're changing quite a bit, sure, but why throw it out of whack with something new? They tried it with Warcraft III, and, while 5 years newer, doesn't have as many people playing it today as Starcraft does. That's saying a lot about this one game. ----- Griffin -- 100,000 ISK ECM - Multispectral Jammer Is -- 20,000 ISK Standard Missile Launcher Is -- 10,000 ISK War target sobbing over losing a fight in his T2 fitted Battleship -- priceless |

Blizzard should:
1) Take the original 2) Put it all AS IT IS in a new graphic engine (something less cartoonish) 3) Add all the various GUI and command interface options that RTSs have developed in 9 years (order queveing, unit behavior switch etc.) 4) Beef up the AI (although it was pretty good to begin with) 5) Add a new set of campaign 6) MAYBE 1 or 2 new units per side.
That is all. Don't frakking reinvent Starcraft, it is perfect as it is! ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs. |

I am quite dissapointed atm. I have seen everything realeased, but to me it just looks like Warcraft 3 with new skins.
What is funny is that if you search on Starcraft 2 on youtube, it'll find A TON of mods to warcraft 3, and they look pretty damn much like Starcraft 2.
Really crappy, also, battlecruisers seems to have like 4 hitpoints or something, they're going down like freakin frigates(eve language ftw).
Another thing, how the frack can a MOTHERSHIP be balanced? Starcraft is about building an army, and then have a huge fight with slow progress. But this new "ship"(SuperShip) will destroy the enemies army with a blink of an eye.
YET ANOTHER THING: The shield that the protoss mothership has is not a "shield", its a time disruptor that makes EVERYTHING go REALLY slow, so you have enough time to kill the enemy, before the shells hit. When you kill the enemy, the missiles then for some odd reason, looses their thrust and drops to the ground.
And take that from a person who plays Starcraft with his school mates during lessons. :P

You people who complain about turtling, any fool can easily beat a lurker turret combo, I have done it dozens of times, just take out the turrets then use detector units to find the lurkers (fricken noobs >.> )
And for those of you who complain that starcraft is WCIII with different skins, maybe it is in your dreams. I played WCIII and it doesn't look at all like the vids from scII, and besides they only announced it like a week ago, I have been waiting like seven or eight years for SCII and when it finally does come out all people do is complain. Complain complain complain, why can't anyone actually enjoy a game for once? -----------
