Starcraft 2 News and Updates
Starcraft 2 is the sequel to the very popular StarCraft game, which is a video game for personal computers and one of the top strategy computer games and real time strategy games of all time. The original game was released by Blizzard entertainment in 1998 and in May 2007, it announced its plans to develop the sequel. Starcraft 2 looks like something that my infant nephew would get for his birthday. He would love the ridiculous looking characters with pretty blue colors that have became camo in the future of Starcraft, the rounded marines that are just like stuffed animals, carrying retarded shields, and the buildings which look most cartoonish of all.
Blizzard announced the sequel at the World Wide Invitational in Seoul with the impressive video above. The official StarCraft 2 release date site went live and there's screenshots , artwork , wallpapers , and they've even got gameplay videos up already. Blizzard (Valve, Bioware) is one of the few companies in the game industry that can't make a game anything less than stellar. Blizzard hopes to make the new instance doable in one night or a few hours, rather than Karazhan, the current high-level 10 man dungeon that can require a more significant time investment. Zul'aman will be an outdoor instance (like Zul'gurub), with six bosses in total.
Blizzard has a lot of work to do if it wants to reclaim the title as king of the real-time strategy game. We'll just have to watch what happens as the screenshots and preview videos come pouring in starcraft map.
Hero's are not. Hero units will no longer be as important, nor require as much hands on management, as in Warcraft III. This means a lot to players of the game, who will no longer need to split their attention so fully between their standard units and their hero unit.
Even if it's just More Starcraft II, or Warcraft III gameplay in the Starcraft universe, I'll be chortling like a loon. Hell, the impending cutscene movies alone have me unnaturally moistened. Even pro-korean gamers can only average 5 clicks a second!
