redFX Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 The only thing I really want is to be able to have more then 200 troops per person and increase the troop limit on the map.

gigapixels Veteran Posted May 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2007 The only thing I really want is to be able to have more then 200 troops per person and increase the troop limit on the map. From what I can tell, the engine can handle a whole lot more than the old one could, so I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Osiris Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I knew it was going to be StarCraft from the get go. I gotta say though, I am not that impressed with the media they released so far... I mean, look at whatever Command and Conquer was closest to 1998, and compare it to Tiberium Wars today. How much that series has evolved in every aspect is unbelievable. But StarCraft II just looks like... StarCraft re-skinned into 3D. See the difference is Command and Conquer had more games in the series, spread over a longer period of time, to build its brand up. On top of that, despite a similar surplus in time between sequels, much like starcraft, Command and Conquer had generals to phase in the initial 3D move Command and Conquer took. Blizzard really only have WC III as a platform to try and phase in a 3d based SC2 which is a different brand and for the most part had mixed success. I personally dont have a problem with the graphics, but I suspect they have deliberately kept SC2 looking recongisiably like its original to keep that same feel rather then opt for a revolution and leaving fan with a SC2 that feels too different. I guess the other problem is for those that arent die hard fans but enjoyed the first games, given they already have the storyline aspect of the game, and the gameplay aspects in the bag, I think after so long vast improvements in graphics wouldnt have been too much to expect. But this is all moot anyway, because its going to be a popular game, even those that dont think the graphics are upto scratch with other current RTS competitors, chances are those ppl will buy the game anyway, not withstanding the fact that good RTS games arent that common and certainly arent frequently released. I guess I was just suggesting theres a reason why companies opt for Evolution of graphics over revolution and id suggest this is the policy Blizzard are taking in regards to the graphics (which do tend to look alot better in the HQ gamevids as opposed to the static pics).

LOC Veteran Posted May 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2007 http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/790/790193p1.html 20 minute long gameplay video, much better quality than anything we've seen yet mostly, though not in HD yet. That's Monday probably. But either way, its 20 mins of gameplay, and the last 4 minutes or so are nothing more than a giant zergfest. Enjoy.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted May 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yesterday it said "Come back May 20th for the new gameplay video" or something like that. Now it just says "Coming soon". If you look at the date it was added it says 5.20.07, lol. Maybe they'll add it today.

ANova Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 It looks like they're using the Warcraft 3 engine and the old graphics along with it. I was expecting better.

burobu Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 It doesn't look the the wc3 engine at all. Much more refined than that. I think it looks great as it is.

Tokar Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 All I hope is that they left in the Use Map Settings option for Multiplayer. I could REALLLLLY use some Gozilla vs Mothra right about now.

GamerZ Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 i love the protoss mothership ability where it can slow down the missile turret and once that turret is destroyed, the missle drop to the floor, matrix style.

You would think that SC has more of a fanbase than GTA. I was wondering the samething until I realized it. The onslaught of content is old now. Alot of people have seen the gameplay videos, cinematic cutscene, and the artwork trailer. The thread should spring back to life once new content is released.
