Starcraft 2 Official!!!

[StarBound]

Heart of the Swarm also coming out this year?

[hamin_aus]

Supposed to be... will be good if they time it 3 or 4 months after D3

[StarBound]

Hoping they announce another collectors edition. Wonder what the WoW and Diablo 3 extras will be.

R750 for an 'expansion' said it would happen... tjops...

[hamin_aus]

R750 for an 'expansion'

Have to agree with Rusty, Blizzard have lost their minds with that CE asking price...

Still buying the digital delux version, but at more than twice the price the CE is not worth it at all...

[Anakha56]

Greedy Blizzard...

Looks like no CE for me...

[StarBound]

The standard version is R400 or around there. Going digital deluxe works out more expensive for us. Thats 75 euros and at current translates into something like R1000.

So purty!

My body is ready.

[StarBound]

My body is ready.

The thought of disc slotting and port plugging comes to mind. Jamin you just ruined my day of non side tracked thinking!

[StarBound]

Did battle.net or Diablo 3 or Blizzard itself kill Blizzard? I mean the HotS CE has been on sale for some time now yet its still available compared to WoL that was sold out in maybe a weeks time.

[hamin_aus]

WoL sold out during pre-order?
On what planet?

[StarBound]

It was the year 2010. The vuvuzela was introduced to the world and quickly became more hated than the FBI top 10. In the same months the BTGames and Take2 (yup, back when) Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty collectors editions sold out like ear plugs.

The latest trailer for Blizzard’s StarCraft II: Heart Of The Swarm focuses on eSports and multiplayer. eSports are like regular sports, except it’s playing videogames in a chair, and not sports. Multiplayer is when other people spoil your game for you.


Obviously the eSports scene is absolutely massive for StarCraft. The new entry in the series allows groups to watch replays with others, which is apparently a thing people wanted. More interestingly, there’s something called Take Command, which allows you to watch a replay, and then jump into the game whenever you want, including replays of other people’s games. Which makes me think of when people explore a famous game of chess, to see if other eventualities were possible. But with Zergs hitting Terrans on the head, rather than bishops politely asking queens to stand aside.

A very nice feature is the Recover,

So basicly its a replay that you take control over one of the forces at any given time in the battle? So you can take control over the winning players match and win for yourself?

I AM THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING HAPPENS!!!

Rule 34 on infested Kerrigan

[StarBound]

It's not ghosts of the past. But still its better than any of the Diablo 3 vids and cataclysms. But I put Mists trailer higher.

[StarBound]

I got my collectors edition. Busy installing the game. Hovering around 50%, 400mb left.

[StarBound]

Pre-rendered game engine cut scenes!? WHY!!!!????

[hamin_aus]

So people with crappy Gfx cards can see what they are missing out on?

I dunno, time lag means I'll only be playing this in 6 hours time...

[StarBound]

The game rendered cut scenes were really something to behold. Its a shame they didn't do a better job at encoding the pre-renders for full hd.
