iago · « **Reply #10 on:** May 19, 2007, 11:42:58 am »

It'll probably like War3, and it'll probably suck. Everybody will migrate from Starcraft because it's *gasp* 3d, and ruin that too.

I'm not looking forward to it.

Well as long as the game play is the same as the old one with a few new expections Iam happy.

Ergot · « **Reply #19 on:** May 19, 2007, 01:39:11 pm »

It's NOT a MMORPG! It's an RTS that will be played of Battle.Net

Hitmen · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2007, 01:50:09 pm »

I'm skeptical, but hopeful. I don't really have any games holding my attention right now, so a new one that actually interests me would be nice. The UI looks the same, the units look similar... if it can capture the same kind of 'feel' that the originial game had it'll be great.

Ergot · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2007, 02:14:31 pm »

In the FAQ, they said they wanted to create the same feel. There will not be new races

? But there will be additional units. We shall see.

From the screenshots and the website in general, I very highly doubt it will turn into WC3. The UI is very similar. Hero units are present, yes, but all of their pictures have been from the single-player campaign, so there will obviously be hero units there.

MMORPG = massively multiplayer online role playing game (WoW)
RTS = Real Time Strategy (SC and SC: BW)

Warrior · « **Reply #24 on:** May 19, 2007, 03:30:42 pm »

From the Gameplay Videos, it looks more fast paced than Starcraft.

Mobile Pylon like structures, Zergling Suicide Bombs, etc.

Protoss (for now) seem to have the ability to wage war on an unprecedented scale.

Ditto. And yeah, I'm afraid the 3D will ruin it too.

Furthermore, Starcraft presents a much higher bar than War2 and Diablo. It's simply the best RTS of all time. They said in their FAQ that they topped War2 and Diablo, which I agree with, but those tasks are child's play compared to topping Starcraft =\

Blaze · « **Reply #30 on:** May 19, 2007, 09:05:32 pm »

As long as it's not in 640x800 I'll be happy with the game. Although, after watching the demo it seems like this game requires an entire relook at strategy, for there seems to be a counter to everything that used to work. This might make balance, which Starcraft had, oh boy did it have it, very hard to do.

Ergot · « **Reply #31 on:** May 20, 2007, 12:17:00 am »

I just watch those video, and well, unless other races get special stuff as well. Those protoss mothership makes this game sooo unbalance lol

Zerg/Terran do not get a mothership-like unit. It said so on some IGN article.

Will any familiar characters from “StarCraft” and “Brood Wars” be returning to "StarCraft II?"

Yes. The storyline will follow the main story arc that we left off in “Brood Wars,” just a couple of years after that. You can certainly expect to see many of the returning characters.

President of game design referred to SC at "Brood Wars."

The only thing I can give you [that’s] concrete is it’s not going to be this year. Some people were hoping, because of how advanced the game looks, that we’d have it out by Christmas, but that’s definitely not happening.

My opinion remains the same. Terran just have too much of a forward advantage in SC2 so that zerg are no longer as attractive as they once were.

Hell, even Protoss can have a quick forward with Warp in Units at Pylons.

Something like that is less of a "you crossed the line" and more of a "oh no no, look behind you".
