If you look at these screenshots www.starcraft2.com/screenshots.xml, it doesn't look like they screwed it up either with super uber ultra 3D graphics, you can tell it's actually the same game, unlike most RTS's that hit the 3D world. I just hope they added enough features and new units to make you want to play it more than the original, rather than it just looking newer and smoother. |

Anyone plan on buying it ASAP? I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it as soon as it comes out, I do hope to play a demo of some kind before hand though.

After watching countless gameplay movies from random sites, I think it looks just like SC, if you've played WC3, it looks nothing like it, nor does the gameplay. WC3 is much more based on RPG elements rather than units and armies, as where SC2 is much obviously based on super fast paced war. I dont remember all you said last night Ruffs, but the siege tanks don't look like they go "underground" at all....  I seriously don't know how you see that, Terran from my perspective, looks like they've changed the least. In the first game, the tanks drill their "feet" into the ground, but it's not as animated as it is in SC2, but they don't go underground at all. Another thing, it says on the site dragoons are dead, but the Immortal has taken it's place, even with it's exoskeletons and skills, only they look much less drunk and their shields are much better. If you wanted a new starcraft without any changes, get the starcraft mod for Warcraft3, otherwise, they're going to have to change it too call it SC2... But I seriously don't see much of WarCraft in any part of it, beside the fact it's 3d, and even then, WC3 and SC2's 3d engine look vastly different, SC2 looks like it's going to keep the same 2d-ish terrain layout, and the mapping looks about the same, as well as the difference in offense and defense. ANYWAY, here's a few awesomely awesome changes I noticed. First, the Phase Prism looks awesome, I love the amount of stuff it can do. Another would be that you can group more than 12 units, which always bothered me... So far I've seen up too 16, which too me is still a bit small, but much much much better. Another cool thing, is that Terran buildings can still fly, and I saw that Terran HQ's can carry it's SCVs along with it, as it landed and popped out 4 SCVs right away. Zealots look freaking AWESOME, their movement looks so much better, they look like they will be far more effective in SC2 than SC1, they seem like Zealot-Dark Templar hybrids. Zerglings also look like they'll be more effective, as it looks like you can easily swarm the crap out of them, they also look more like their original concepts, less like weird dogs, more like aliens. ^^ Thats all the rant and rave for today children, more to come as I watch more gameplay vids. ^^ |
