Blizzard really do know how to make an intro.

I need to construct some additional pylons after that.

8T8

It's been a long wait god dam I can't believe it been 10 years, 10 years!!!!

A few titbits I picked up elsewhere is that the game is intended to run on a wide variety of machines so partly the reason the graphics which I happen to think are very good but aren't ZOMG but that doesn't matter I just want a final ending to the events after SC:Broodwar.

Another video here showing some concept art and more gameplay with a lot of zerglings rushing a base. Gamespy has some more of the concept art in high resolution.

Official site is up http://www.starcraft2.com/

Can't wait :cool:

It's something a lot of Koreans get rather excited about. It often sends them into convulsions where they attack their keyboard wildly with an end result something along these lines:

LULZ ZERG RSH KEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKEKE ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

abelard

Brilliant. It's been a long time coming. Zerg Rush!!!!

darkskol

Great news, the screenshots look great

Retr0gamer

Fantastic news. After 10 yeas Starcraft is still the best RTS ever created. I just know blizzard will do the game justice but we may have to wait a long time since blizzard are such perfectionists.

aidan_walsh

Whats next, World of Starcraft?

Still, looking good.

projectmayhem

wow. looks fantastic...

world of starcraft is the only MMO i'd ever see myself getting into... so chop chop blizzard

Jim

If you went to any Blizzard site over the past week they had splash pages running as teasers for the announcement. This is the final one, lolz

To steal 1up's line, 'Universe of Starcraft'.

Deadly!

Zapp Brannigan

Starcraft? What's that?

regi

Someone said on the youtube link:

WOW Everyone just stfu this is a moment where we need to all join hands and love.. just love. Starcraft 2 I cant wait to touch you *cries* someone hold me.. im trembling... just.... trembling..

Pretty much sums it up for me

Timans

Never played original.

need to pick up the likes of Starcraft, Diabloe etc etc.

BKtje

never played it either but most rts fans dribble at the mouth when you mention it so can't be all bad

They could have rabies, in which case, I'd recommend steering well clear.

:eek:

joe_chicken

If the people who make Blizzard intros were ever to make a movie!
Goddamn I love those things... so pretty.

BopNiblets

The cinematic trailer was fantabulous!

Lots of vids here (including gameplay): http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=4868

kekekeke! ^_^

BeerWolf

Like omg... THE best RTS game ever coming back it's second time around after a decade!

...

Ah crap, need a towel.

CodeMonkey

need new computer... gotta make preparations for the second coming....

Energizer

Anyone know of an ETA?

God i love Starcraft!! I will Zerg the lot of ya!!

BlitzKrieg

here i was thinking that maybe just maybe it wasnt worth upgrading my pc and i should have bought a 360 instead...nope. the upgrade will be justified

BKtje

God i love Starcraft!! I will Zerg the lot of ya!!

Is this where "zerging" came from? Interesting if true.

Smellyirishman

Yes, it is.

The Zerg are one of the races in the game but their best tactic was to produce a ton of units early and rush you. Hence, Zerg-rush.

MooseJam

so is starcraft 2 better than command and conquer

Nietzschean

its not out yet?
but starcraft is one of the top 2 if not the best rts of all time, so yeah it easily beats any c&c, so i'd be surprised if the second one wasn't at least a AAA+ quality rts...

bizmark

what makes it so good?

po0k

Fidelis

"Rock & Roll!"

Tusky

wow. Great news. The original was absolutely fantastic.

No it isn't. Starcraft pisses on Command and Conquer from a great height.

CrazyTalk

Never played starcraft. Not arsed to now, seeing as theres a new one coming

BeerWolf

How gay - here I was, so tempted to play StarCraft again just to find my CD all scratched up and unuseable

Still got the CD-key though - just need to download the .iso from somewhere... <_<;

BlitzKrieg

Illogical lies.

Dune II ftw

Retr0gamer

There's no way that a game series who's only tactic is the tank rush can stand up to the strategic thought needed for starcraft, where every tactic can be countered by a good enough player. Except the zerg rush but we should forget about that.

BlitzKrieg

I like both.

they're just differently paced.

much how total annihilation/supreme commander was very different.

(it is a year of sequels to games of my childhood isnt it?)

8T8

To those wondering about the ETA the word from Blizzard is "when it's done".

Though in interviews they have said the game is quite far along, they started work right after WC3:FT and all three races are playable in multi-player at this stage which is their primary focus, single player will be finished towards the end.

The game is also set 4 years after the end of SC: Broodwar and there is no fourth playable race though I wouldn't be surprised if the Zerg/Protoss hybrid the Xel Naga cooked up at the end of Broodwar aren't some sort of opponent in the single player game but not usable in multi-player.

Hopefully it's only another year or so away.

koneko

Awww yeaaaaaaah.

I can't find our SC disc, found Brood War tho but not the original disc argh. I'm sure it's *somewhere* though.

Retr0gamer

I wouldn't get my hopes up for an early release. Blizzard are notorious perfectionists and it will probably get delayed quite a bit. Don't think there was ever a Blizzard game released on time. I still remember the excrutiating delays on Warcraft 3 and the original starcraft.

Why is this thread called " ******** 2"?

Did we get that much starcraft spam we have to filter it?
