yeah pretty much been waiting a while on this one :?

#tpt_dod I'm the only non-argentinian :/

The only problem is this looks vert "wowsie" if thats a word, it looks very world of warcraft ish type gameplay, this game will change multiplaying online for quite a while

heezabeezt the movie! http://www.noobflicks.com/watch/7438/heez..

LOL when i clicked on the link to starcraft2 i thought i was gonna get rickroll'd

The cinematic is pretty sweet. "It's about time".

I doubt it'll be better than the original but it looks pretty cool. It'll be tougher to micro with 3d units but maybe Blizzard has figured it out.

the ingame videos on youtube look amazing.

I assume your joking #4.

It looks like a very faitfull sequel, which is good.

sweeeeet

NICE!

Yeah #4, too bad you're completely wrong.

mmmmmmmmmmmmyessssssssss

G_G

ooooooooooooMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

the graphics don't look good at all...

cr.roundhouse

#4 you are dumb

#14 I thought the same at first glance, but you should take a closer look at the characters polygons (zerglins specially), shadows of all the units, and the blasts made by the siege tanks.... they are amazing.

dumb, where is worlds of starcraft

cool =)

it is about time cant wait to go pro :)

Graphics aren't gonna "wow" anybody but you don't need bad ass graphics for being able to micro mass armies, it's gonna be tough doing it with 3d units

I think the graphics look fine. Here's a gameplay video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6BXNRpieAI

unbelievable

#22 only if you're Korean or it doesn't work.

#23 is right, if anything it'll make it more difficult, which should seperate the gap from the nubs going "ooh" and "aah" at the fancy graphics to the people who want to win.

its gonna rock

it looks little funky, but guess we'll have to wait till it's released to judge

EDIT: what is the release date on this game anyways? anyone know?

i dont think their will be a problem microing with 3D units , the graphics look great in myopinion. i hope the prices of the units and buildings stay the same though and the start minerals are the same as bw . one of the main reasons i could not adapt to wc3 tft was the fact that the game was really slow paced (like playing ladder games on bw playing with fast and not fastest) also i diddnt enjoy the fact that fights with like 15 unit fights would take occasionally like 1min + maybe even more for all units to die , where as bw it would take less than 10 seconds which i enjoy. i have high expectations for sc2 i hope they keep same fast pace game play style but just with added features like new units etc.

#30 since the rumors were true about sc2 being released i would assume the 3/4 of the year we will be able to atleast play a beta if not the actual retail version as blizzard has obviously been working on sc2 for a while now .from the looks of that trailer i would assume there atleast 50% into the game . its funny how every blizzard game that came out atleast told us it was under developement with no trailers or anything but sc2 was hidden from us untill they felt it was time to unveil it and showed us great screenshots and cgi trailer along with a gameplay trailer . just shows sc2 will be something big.

My life is now complete.. I can't WAIT!

Look at the screenshots of the game..the graphics look great. At the same time it looks like starcraft and has the feel of starcraft.

It looks also that the gemplay is staying the same, no stupid huge new features that will mess it up. Realyl it looks like what SC2 should be: Same gameplay, better graphics, with some new units and features.

Isn't this headlining news?
