GOOD!

wouldnt it be cool if it was MMO?

actually probably not, I would probly have to pay

Actually, I'm surprised it ISN'T an MMO. But then again, Blizzard may not want to compete against themselves in that market.

Okay, so.
Uh.
Do I need to get StarCraft so I can see what all the fuss is about?

looks like I'll probably want to get a nice big 21" monitor to be able to play this one in all its glory.



RE: NekoOtaku

Like Halo, World of Warcraft, or Madden, there are a few people that just love it, and a few that just hate it for the popularity it gets.

I'ld recommend trying the original out to see if you like it.  If you don't like lengthy, prolonged game sessions, you may not enjoy this.  If you like games like RISK, go for it.  The cutscenes were stunning and beautiful in 1998 and are still rewarding for their humor/dramatic content.  Best yet, it will run on just about anything over a Pentium.

Ed: Don't explicitly promote something illegal

EDIT EDIT: I was saying NOT to

I've never played Starcraft either. I know it's an RTS game that a bunch of people happen to go nuts over, but I don't know much else about it.

I'm not too into RTS games, so I probably don't want to give it a shot.

And a new computer.

Starcraft is so unlike RISK that I could write a scathing remark about any comparison of the two. ;)

Also, it seems insane that people haven't played Starcraft at least once.

Also, ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG etc.

Bah. I've skipped many a meal so I could game longer. I have 8-10 hour gaming sessions all the time. Bring it ON.

Huh, after a bit more looking into this, it looks rather interesting. Knowing Blizzard, though, I've probably got a good four, five, ten years to pick up the original game. :P

Blizzard is known for taking FOREVER to release their games...if they ever do (Starcraft: Ghost anyone?)

I have never played Starcraft but maybe one day I will. Like Tondog I can't believe it is not a MMO.


Title: Re: Starcraft II Announced
Post by: Tondog on May 21, 2007, 11:21:56 AM
Tynstar, I bet there's a Starcraft MMO in the works. I bet they'll release it once WoW loses its steam, which definitely won't be for a long time.


Title: Re: Starcraft II Announced
Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on May 21, 2007, 11:32:36 AM
MMO's take soooo long to make it would have been shocking to see one already in a presentable format.

WoW indeed has a fair few years to it.

Just saw this mentioned on IGN:

Will there be a console version of StarCraft II?

StarCraft II is being developed for the PC. We have no current plans to bring the game to any console platform.

Not too surprising, but it might not be the best idea considering how consoles have pretty much taken over PC gaming.

With Spore, WoW, and Starcraft 2, I don't doubt you.

Post by: OatBob on May 22, 2007, 04:51:48 PM
I find it hard to believe that people will still rule out the PC as a game platform.  Especially as just about every (young) person has one, making for a large potential market.


Title: Re: Starcraft II Announced

The way shit is going down consoles are just turning into PCs.

Yeah but a lot of those same people have console as well and console don't need 600 dollar video cards every time a new game comes out. I very rarely play games on my PC.

PC will always be a viable platform so long as the internet remains a gateway to porn.

Anyways, I hope Kerrigan rules the world.

A real "tip" from the in game menu in the original game...

They don't need to remind me this, it's a great game as I have found for myself.
