erufiku Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 So, after about half a millenium of developement, it seems that SCII is going to be released "in the near future". Here's a link of some screens: http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?f...amp;#post630141What do you think? I kind of cringed after seeing them... Please tell me I'm not the only sc geek on the forum ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Have been giddy about this since it was announced in September. They just started broadcasting the Korean BW tournaments in English a week or so ago... I watched them all live http://gsi.gomtv.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayson Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Maybe I will be the first to say it, and quite possibly the last, but here it goes.FUCK GRAPHICS!Seriously folks, I'm tired of everyone wanting these beautiful graphics. Why? Because almost always gameplay and story is sacrificed. Hell, half the time game makers can't even make a usable UI or combat system, let alone a multiplayer system that works, but hot damn, the graphics look good!Who gives a fuck. If SCII has good gameplay and story, the controls are fluid and the MP is supported (and the bugs fixed before release!) then I will be snug as a bug. But if it's just another buy-now-throw-away-in-a-week game, fuck it. I'm tired of playing a game for 3 or 4 hours, which is about how long it takes for the pretiness to grow old. The last game that had a good story and good graphics was Call of Duty 4, and that's pretty fucking rare. One of my all time favorite games was Neverwinter Nights 1. The graphics sucked even back in 2001. Guess what, I still play it today. Was the $80 I spent worth it? Hell yes. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Dude they've been working on this game for ten years Blizzard doesn't release anything until it's pretty much perfected. It'll be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralleac Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I heard about it a while back but I haven't looked into it. Waiting for Blizzard to release a game is a form of masochism in and of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Goodypants Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) It's true.It will use something similar to the original starcraft interface, so it will probably be quite usable. Blizzard always does a good job on the story (or at least the cinematics).I'd given up on waiting for this one a while ago. Good to see some positive news on it.

erufiku Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (jayson @ Mar 7 2008, 10:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>FUCK GRAPHICS!+1That's why I wrote that I cringed. What I saw on the screenshots is too... shiny? What I did like was that the units are now bigger. Easier to micromanage I just hope this will not turn out to be like GH3 in terms of requirements. After seeing what I needed to run it, I opted for getting a used PS2.This may be one of the very few games I actually buy. Nonetheless, I'll download it to try first ;D Edited March 8, 2008 by erufiku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Goodypants Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 It doesn't look like it's going to be that graphics intensive. It's confirmed that it needs Pixel Shader 2.0, and it doesn't look that intensive graphically. Blizzard usually makes their games compatable with a nice range of system requirements.You'll probably only need a 128mb GeForce 6600/Radeon 9600 or better to run it.

erufiku Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Come to think of it, all the games I am waiting for are sequels...Starcraft IIDiablo IIIFallout 3 (just under a year to go... I hope)... and although there is not much hope left, XCOM Alliance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they manage to hang onto the strenghts of SC I, balance and feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaia.plateau Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) It's as big a sport over there as... what do you play in New York, street hockey?They have like 9 starcraft stadiums in South Korea. Even commentators get paid more than movie stars. The kid that won that tournament is only 15 and he's already a multimillionaire between prize money and sponsorships. it's actually entertaining to watch if you play the game. I only play it an hour or two a month, but even I have fun watching. Edited March 10, 2008 by gaia.plateau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garykainz Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i'm stoked. but after purchasing such a product, it's all about getting the girlfriend to give me time to play it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowmars Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ive had this game pre ordered for months now. Can't wait. I'm a huge SC fan. My only concern has been that the 1st one was such a great game. Blizzard is gonna have to make this new one at least as good if not better. Hopefully they can pull it off. But Blizzard seems pretty good about putting out good stuff. They are usually willing to delay a game to make sure it doesn't come out like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 I am sure everyone and their mother has already seen the trailers floating around the internet. But for those of us that have been living under a rock for the past few years (myself included), here is the link to watch gameplay trailers: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/4868.htmlI changed my mind about the graphics. Thinking about saving up some green and actually buying a new computer just to play it. SCII + PC bundle anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The graphics are incredible, now that the demos are out you can see it actually looks like you're playing in some twisted sci-fi oil painting; Zerg structures are especially fantastic.

I'm wishing that Blizzard will make them a bit more powerful than in the original - they were hella hard to play when matched up against an apt Terrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alademuerte Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've been waiting on this game since a week after StarCraft came out, and BroodWar only fueled the fire. Played them both a lot, and I cant wait for SC2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands with the graphics/physics looking like they do, I'd say that you would want at least a geforce 6600gt or radeon x1300 with 128+mb video ram and a p4 3.0ghz or better with 1gb of system RAM to run it well.
