I'd rather it have a great engine for a stylized look, like it is now, rather than have it look realistic. We have enough realistic RTSs right now.

On a side note: Trust the PCF members to get as far as you can from a topic and turn the thread into a squirming ball of blam-and-spam

I actually think the graphics look really good:

No...no they dont -_-" (sarcasm over)

What strange person would say that isnt nice graphics... I mean it looks almost like Command and Conquer 3, tiberium wars...

The really cool thing about SC is while you may have a favourite race they are all so well balanced it really is due to player skill and familiarity with your choice.

Thats exactly why its the best for competitions.

blam-and-spam

Never heard of that before.

When all else fails... Use Doom, and get those bugs OUT!

Dont ask...

When was the last time Blizzard made a disappointment?

I think they call it "World Of Warcraft". This odd game makes people... HAVE FUN!...A disGRACE!

Jokes

. Still GW PWNS WOW

Watched the SC2 gameplay movie this morning. Awesom stuff. Nice to know that large armies is still the focus around starcraft 2. But the zealots looks a bit weak in the movie. The charge is welcomed though

The skill usage though sounds too dependant on good players to be used practicly. The motherships ultimate ability looks just too good for the moment. Thats gonna destroy an entire battlecruiser fleet. Wager they will just make it do damage

And finally.. World of warcraft a disappointment? NEVER! But the game has gone on too long and focus has shifted from fun to hardcore raiding. Just glad its almost over.

We all have our opinions about games... Like how I dont think one single person in this forum doesnt want to play SC2.

Actually is there someone that sad lurking this world who hasnt even played Star Craft? YOU NEED HEEEEEELP!!!!

Hey man, don't stress--> Diablo 3 = Hellgate London. The guys that developed Diablo 2 are part of a new company. Check out "www.hellgatelondon.com", you won't be disappointed.

HMM been, dreaming about SC2 for a long time! Can't wait. Any word on the release date yet?

Nearly a month of silence since it went public. Guess the only questions everyone should be asking are this:

Is it done yet?

How about now?

...and now?

Thank you for the StarCraft II gameplay video on this months cover disc! Was frikken awesome! :biggrin:

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 03 Jul 2007, 20:17

Been a month now and not seeing anything new. Did it take this long for warcraft 3 stuff? I cant remember.

Post by **Ron2K** » 03 Jul 2007, 22:06

WOW.

Just watched the demo on the cover disc and... I'm very impressed.

One thing I did notice is that if you're a Stargate SG-1 addict (like myself), the Protoss mothership seems rather familiar. It bears some resemblance to a Ha'tak, and so do the time dilation (which did bring back memories of the series finale) and black hole abilities. All the more reason for me to want to go into battle with one of those screaming "JAFFA KREE" at the top of my voice, and then wondering why everyone else at the LAN is looking at me funny.

I'm downloading the cinematic trailer now, will let it run overnight and watch it tomorrow.

Haha! LoL Though that doesn't compare to the fact that the Protoss building that warps in air units is called a Stargate!

As for that trailer, how big is it that you need to leave it overnight to run?

The new terran gameplay movie is out. Its only 655mb big. Took me a week to download. Best part is it didnt corrupt while downloading. But bad news is its only 10minutes long.

View time 10minutes, download time 26hours. Looking at these stats I am somewhat disappointed.

I don't seem to have that problem

, I can download about 1.07Gb from P2P sources in an afternoon, so you can just imagine how quick HTTP traffic will be!

As for trailers I've actually donwloaded 3gigs of gametrailers from GameTrailers.com, but that included trailers for Crysis, MGS4, SC2, Hellgate London and a trailer to see what all the hype for Halo 3 was about (overrated IMO)?

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 30 Sep 2007, 16:03

ISDN. Telkom doesnt see any reason why I should get 24/7 internet access.

So disappointed over the movie being 10 minutes and 700mb big. Also since hte protoss game play was 20minutes and only 250mb big.

Xiphan · Post by **Xiphan** » 30 Sep 2007, 16:08

Well in the clips I got the ones that were really big yet short were ones that were proper HD, which is the same for the clip you got: 1280x720 - 681mb. Though I haven't got that one, yet... However that does seem a bit strange, is it exactly 10min?

PS: ISDN... I feel for you!

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 30 Sep 2007, 16:47

in 2 weeks time I celebrate my 10th waiting month for adsl

You think that SA will get proper broadband (1mb+) anytime soon? I cant play C&C or any other new releases and 250ms lag in unreal tournament 4 isnt helping. 8O WHAT ABOUT UT3? OR EVEN STARCRAFT 2!?

Telkom you !#$%ing !@#$%!

Xiphan · Post by **Xiphan** » 30 Sep 2007, 16:52

Hehe... I might be getting a 4meg uncapped line soon!

That doesn't help you now does it?

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 30 Sep 2007, 16:58

Your sig says Italy so your situation doesnt count. Its sad our infrastructure is so terrible. Just one of starcrafts features going to waste because of it.

As of 2005 I lived on the internet. I cant go without it. And yet I will have to learn how to not have access to it soon. Nope, I am not loosing the line but the data is too big for the bandwidth and cost restrictions.

This is just a guess on what they think the system requirements are, sumhow i dont see this happening

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 02 Oct 2007, 16:41

This is blizzard we are talking about. Very possible it might me that low. But no one should have less than a 2ghz equive cpu. And as for ram if your a gamer you probibly have 1gb anyway. Gfx, who still uses a 128mb card?

SBSP · Post by **SBSP** » 02 Oct 2007, 17:04

I wonder if vista is supported ?

according to this website
http://www.freakygaming.com/pc/strategy ... quirements

Only Wista is supported

OS: Windows Wista, Windows XP or Mac OS. (Officially Confirmed)

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 02 Oct 2007, 19:12

Wista is the improved version of Vista that actually works. Maybe its hte actual name of windows vienna.
