Fish.Stapler Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Bah, I've been playing WC3 a lot lately and apparently "Build More Farms/Burrows" mixed up with the Pylon message. Then again, I haven't played any game without totally borked sound in ~6 months, so I don't even know if that's how it goes :*(. I really need to get unlazy and fix my sound.

Vaelastraz Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Starcraft 2... if they don't get the balacing right it will be a desaster and people (especially Koreans) will stick to starcraft 1. I mean, Starcraft Broodwar is the best balanced RTS game EVER! Not even Warcraft has reached that so far... Who else thinks people will be pissed of because of the balancing when the game is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relenzo2 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 No way in this universe that the current blizzard people will get starcraft 2 correct. As someone on a fansite said once "it will be Warcraft 3 in space". I don't want it. Have 1 with brood war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Actually Warcraft 3 is Starcraft in the middle ages and 3D graphics, so Starcraft 2 can never be a rip off of WC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm so excited about this announcement I almost wet myself! *Goes off to change pants...* Though I do worry about the 'removed' units... I need my Battlecruiser and Carrier 'fixes' damnit! Quote it correctly. You must construct additional pylons. "Spawn more Overlords!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Is there any reason for two threads on the same subject? This one and the one in "The Outlander Club". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 2! oh **** homie. http://www.starcraft2.com Discuss! Though graphics aren't the primary attraction of a game like this it still looked a bit old judging by the screenshots. Didn't look all that different from SC/Brood War, only higher resolution and a bit more crispy. You'd think they could come up with some better improvements in 10 years (like 3D camera that you can rotate freely to view battles from different angles, zoom in/out etc...). Remains to see if the gameplay is good enough to make up for it. Starcraft was the only RTS I've played for any length of time. Is there any reason for two threads on the same subject? This one and the one in "The Outlander Club". Mod note: Threads merged and moved to the Outlander Club forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Nuts, you get more responses in Ahto... Anyway. They're sticking to the cartoony sort of look I guess to tone down the mass bloodshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Looks good, I am a bit worried about the camera though. Supcoms zoom have ruined to many games for me already, so hopefully it will be included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screenshots I saw didn't indicate that since they were all from the same camera angle. Good to know they've improved things further. The game does look a whole lot like Starcraft 1 with better graphics and some new units, though I suppose it might not be a good idea to change a winning concept too much.

Vaelastraz Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah, it's actually wise of them n ot to introduce new races...Starcraft has cult status and the worst thing they can do it ruin it with an unbalanced sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need my Battlecruiser and Carrier 'fixes' damnit! http://www.starcraft2.com/screenshot.xml?3 No need to worry, as you can see in the link above the good old Battlecruisers are still there and I've also seen the gameplay video and am pleased to say that they still have the Yamato Gun. Now, as for the Carriers, I don't know, but I hope they haven't been removed from the game. I've heard that the Protoss will have a Mothership unit, though.

Quanon Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I wonder how they will tackle the Heroes ; hopefully not just a copy from WC III . But if it is , I won't cry Just to damn happy that SC finannly gets it follow-up . Hopefully some more glimps of the Xel'naga to . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Now, as for the Carriers, I don't know, but I hope they haven't been removed from the game. I've heard that the Protoss will have a Mothership unit, though. The Mothership is the massive ship in the third and fourth gameplay trailers posted by LIAMYD, and from what I saw it's an uber-unit, but definitely not a Carrier. I wonder how they will tackle the Heroes; hopefully not just a copy from WC III. I personally hope they don't have heroes. Campaign heroes would be fine, but heroes for multiplayer would make the game a WC3 clone, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The Mothership is the massive ship in the third and fourth gameplay trailers posted by LIAMYD, and from what I saw it's an uber-unit, but definitely not a Carrier. In one of the previews I've read on Gamespy, they mention that the mothership is certainly not that strong. It actually would have been destroyed easily by 3 Battlecruisers. They only made it stronger then it will be for demonstration purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Of course there'll be heroes, the only two questions are: -will there be hero units in skirmish/custom games? -will the heroes be as in WC3 (classes that level up), or simply a super strong commander unit (like in Dawn of War)?

lukeiamyourdad Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm not certain about heroes being in custom/MP games. In Gamespy's previews, the developers clearly stated that the game was supposed to be focusing on multiplayer and competitive play. Adding heroes makes for another layer of balancing, which only makes things more difficult. Heroes should not be in custom games, except for those using "Use Map Settings".

xmovingpicturesx Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 It looks gorgeous, but since my PC is chock full of nothing I can only dream of what is out there in that big beautiful space-demon swamp.
