Could there be a sequel coming?

Wee, Starcraft 2. Can't wait.

 

Never played... wha... I... what? Go download it and play through the story.

"It was most excellent. Most excellent indeed."

 

There it is boys.

You must construct more pylons.

 

i'm excited...but a bit disappointed that there still isn't better scale shown with the video out there, i.e., the battlecruisers size compared to marines

 

You see the videos on IGN? They have all the ingame videos up.

Oh yeah, download the CG trailer from the starcraft2 site. Kind of always wondered how the marine armor outfit worked, and now we know.

 

yeah...the high res vid u can dl from the sc2.com page is very nice

 

This is the first game since the Tribes days (Vengeance doesn't count) that I'm looking forward to a game.

I'm not hard to please, I don't have a litany of things that I need in a sequel, just don't make it a monthly fee and I'll be set.

 

I did a search on youtube for professional starcraft. Those professional starcraft players in south korea are freaking crazy... One of them was quoted at getting paid 200,000USD.

 

The long 20 min vid of in game footage is great stuff. The map upgrades and terrain manuvering units are really the only major thing I always thought SC needed. But the new units look great and each one brings different strategies to the table.

 

i did think that the claim by the Blizzard commentator that the last battle scene - the one that ended w/the 3 nukes & the zerg 'GG'- was 'epic' was a bit lame. I wouldn't call that an epic battle by nearly any standard. Yeah it lasted for more than a few seconds, but the numbers involved were not very considerable.

I'll buy the game, and while I'm sure it'll be good, I'll keep hoping for more. Perhaps a greater sense of scale, wider angle view ( just don't see how you can have 'epic' battles with 'hundreds' of units with the zoom range shown)or the addition of a 4th race: Xel'naga re-emergence; the Zerg/Protoss hybrid race from the Brood War campaign; or even a Zerg/Human hybrid race.

Maybe i want too much...

 

I played the first starcraft. My opinion of it was warcraft 2 in space. Good game, I liked warcraft 2 as well. Played them both until I finished them. Then played the other side of the war.
I'm not salivating over the info that blizzard is developing it. Blizzard makes great games. I'm sure this one will be a big seller. I'll wait for the bargain bin though

 

Is there someplace to sign up for upcoming announcements? I'd be interested in being notified of new announcements.
