Recommended Posts

Starcraft2 website is up

StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival.

Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer unparalleled online play through Battle.net, the company's world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game.

Features:

 

- Fast-paced, hard-hitting, tightly balanced competitive real-time strategy gameplay that recaptures and improves on the magic of the original game

- Three completely distinct races: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg

- New units and gameplay mechanics further distinguish each race

- Groundbreaking single-player "story-mode" campaign

- Vibrant new 3D-graphics engine with support for dazzling visual effects and massive unit and army sizes

- Full multiplayer support, with new competitive features and matchmaking utilities available through Battle.net

- Full map-making and scripting tools to give players incredible freedom in customizing and personalizing their gameplay experience

 

When is the game coming out?

- At this point, it's too early to provide an initial estimate on the release date. As with all Blizzard games, we will take as much time as needed to ensure the game is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible.

Can Blizzard top itself with 'StarCraft II?

 

Speaking of secrets, what is your timeline for release for “StarCraft II?”

 

It’s a secret! I can give you the old Blizzard mantra of: “It’ll ship when it’s ready,” but it’s something that historically, we’ve learned to keep release dates really close to the vest. I think all game developers are extremely optimistic, and we used to give optimistic dates and we’d disappoint our fans when we didn’t hit them. So now, I think we’ve just gotten more gun shy. The only thing I can give you [that’s] concrete is it’s not going to be this year. Some people were hoping, because of how advanced the game looks, that we’d have it out by Christmas, but that’s definitely not happening.
