So, yesterday Blizzard informed the world that they were in the process of making Starcraft 2 and even released some interesting pics, gamefootage and information. All which can be found on the homepage.
As a former Starcraft fan i'm happy to read that this isn't an MMO of some form (which was rumoured before the release). Gameplay at this point seems to be largely the same as before, with a new engine that apparently is quite tough. Graphics are a bit too cartoony, but the animation and lighting is superb.
Of course that could be completly moot since the game isn't even in alpha stages yet.

For those who are interested and haven't seen the clips of the game in action here you go.

Shocked the hell out of me when the giant worms popped out of the ground in part two or three IIRC. :)
Looks like a blast of a game to play but I hope they tone protoss down a bit because they really were owning until the very end.

I don't know if that's such a huge concern. By and large, the Protoss units always were better than the others. It's just that you have to play a better game as far as infrastructure in order to field them. They had the best units, but most people still did not play them. I trust them with the design, they did just fine last time.Nonamer wrote:Looks like they'll go in a direction away from WCIII (which was crap as an RTS) and remove stupid stuff like unit selection cap. That's sound good so far.
