Starcraft 2 is Comming!!!

Postby DesalationReborn » Wed Apr 25, 2007 8:51 pm

IGN has announced that Starcraft 2, the sequal to the most popular real-time strategy game in the history of ever, is in the beta stages and is on its way to release. Move this to the video game forum if needed, but I thought this news was too big...

Artical: http://pc.ign.com/articles/779/779920p1.html

Preview video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 6053569246

Just to say, I'm happy!!! :grin:

EDIT: That last one was proven fake, but Sun Runner's got some excellent new stuff:

info (note names may be changed)
Minerals and vespine gas are confirmed
- Zealots still have shields and psi blades. New charge attack to let them rush at enemies
- Still have Siege Tanks. They still Siege. Not much else to say
- New unit: Protoss Immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.
- Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals
- Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range
-New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability.
- Zerg have giant worms that dispense Zergling armies
-Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield
-Protoss colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings. Weak against air
Zerglings can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions
- Protoss Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.
- Pross Warprey - flying unit that does increased damage the longer it hits a target with it's continuous blue laser. Useful against structures as well. Weak against small fire. Marines were shown to take them out.
- Protoss mother ship. Can only have 1 at a time. Cost a ton. special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside - shows terran missle launcher shooting in projectiles that stop in the field before they reach the ship - when field ends missiles drop the ground - planet cracker attack - giant lasers stream from ship to ground - ship can be moved around while planet cracker laser is active - the ship looks like a metallic, triangular sand dollar - mothership can create a black hole anywhere it wannts to - creates distortion that actually sucks ships in and destroys them - in the demo the black hole destroyed four terran battle cruisers in about ten seconds.
- Physics engine allows for debris to roll down slopes.
- Video ends with 100+ Zerglings swarming on screen with no slowdown. They spell out "GG" and are nuked by 3 Terran nukes.
- A Things to Come clip is shown with new landscapes including Terran ruins and Zerg landscapes.

I was about to say...
The graphics are So previous gen, not to mention all the units are exactly the same as in the original starcraft along with their voices.

The IGN thing is just a rumour...

I doubt they'd ever put WoW on a console, but if they did, it would probably go to Wii, with it's free Online Play.

I just watched both trailers...and I think I had a Joygasm.

I don't care what specs I need for this game, I'll upgrade this PoS computer until I CAN PLAY SCII!

So... they made a starcraft 1 3d remake :P
The nukes look unimpressive though, they pale in comparison to supreme commander nukes.

Despite me being annoyed by the endless hype about it, I do look forward to this game

Joe Cocker said it best.

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

Post removed...by me!

I guess i was pissed-off because of the wait...man, its been an eternety since i waited for this game. Now that it WILL happen, im angry. Im just angry because thw wait was freakin long.

This is a message to everyone who saw my old post:
I am sorry of what i said. even if there are some...well..very huge similarity between Starcraft and 40k, i guess Starcraft isn't really a rip-off.

Starcraft as taken many stuff from 40k, which in turn is based-off Warhammer Fantasy, which is derivated from LOTR. Just like D&D!

Nico wrote:At first, i had an immense respect for blizzard. This was in the "Frozen Throne" era. When "World of Warcraft" came, i lost this respect. This was further lost when "Starcraft Ghost" was "cancelled"!

During those year, i discovered Warhammer 40 000...the piece where in place. I knew Blizzard was just a bunch of copycat. I still love Starscraft and Warcraft, because those are all-time classic like Age of Empire....but this can't be forgiven...

I have waited around FIVE YEAR for Starcraft II!!! Maybe more! Its insulting now...to bring it back when their true fan have left. All they have now are a bunch of no-life MMORPG gamers! I will not be fooled, and now people know that their beloved RTS is but a RIP-OFF!!! Nothing more!!!

This game will not work, no...it will be a lamentable failure...i HOPE it will be!!!

In the name of Emperor of Mankind! All warhammer 40 000 rip-off must be purged!!!


This post made me go :BANG_HEAD: .

Wow, why'd WoW make you lose respect? It's one of the hugest, most popular MMOs out there. Much more so than WarHammer40K Online, which, as I've heard, is a ripoff of WoW.

And actually, Warhammer was tabletop, and turn-based, a lot like D&D. WarHammer was NOT an RTS.

So it comes down to this: "OOH! IT HAS MILDLY SIMILAR RACES IN A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR SETTING! THIS CANNOT BE FORGIVEN."

EDIT: And the fact that you put your complete ignorance in your sig...Forgive me mods, but I have to say this: That was just dumb. Trying to show off without knowing what you're saying. You compared two comepletely different games, and bashed another game just for existing!
