Well its not easy to make a sequel for a "Perfect" game.

A graphic makeover alone is already a boost for Starcraft. From my observation young kids these days don't want to play Starcraft because of its crappy graphic. Some whom i persuade to play Starcraft don't even wanna try the game. They say its oudated and and has lame graphic.

Younger generation didn't play Starcraft because they dont realize how great the game is. In Korea its different because they show Starcraft in TV. Starcraft got huge coverage in Korea. Starcraft triumph over any other games broadcasted in Korean gaming television.

I dare bet if they show both DotA and Starcraft on Malaysian national television. DotA will die in 2 years and suddenly you'll see young kids start playing Starcraft again.

Starcraft = sex

fighting over a games is like fighting over foods.. respect each other and we will have a happy gaming life..

just my 2cent tought.. SC is a legend (my opinion)

I really dig the drawings from both Warcraft series and Starcraft.

I always tried to replicate them when I was young and was not successful. Actually better graphics does not excit me anymore (just like Eye candy), I rather have better gameplay anyday.

Previously, I have played the Super Robot Wars series on PS1. Graphics were just 2D and it was in Japanese. But I still managed to finish the game anyways.

The way it's going, I don't expect Starcraft 2 to be a flop.....

But I do not expect SC2 to be as big as a hit as SC.

That very much could be the case.

However, I am really anxious to find about what is going to happen next in the Starcraft Universe after the events of Starcraft 1 and its Brood Wars expansion. Has anyone bought their novel books to read? Does it further expand the setting in Starcraft?

PS I am the only one here that is really anxious to know the continuity of the Broodwar story?

Cheers

I play SC via my pendrive. Wanna know how ? hahaha .... portable SC .. bring anywhere can load game.

Some post deleted. Pls do not OOT here. Pls focus on SC2 n not dota

Be assured that SC2 will have the same amount of epilepsy-triggering flashy lights which are pretty much the staple of recent video games. One of the complaints on other boards is that SC2 is too colourful and it's hard to make out the units when all the lasers are shooting everywhere.

I might be getting too old for flashy video games.

Nah,only SC2 has the colourful cartoon like graphics.Most of the current games has serious look.Empire Total War,Dawn of War 2,World in Conflict and others all have the serious look.

What about Settlers? What a horrible game, but the peeps are funny

Sorry for veering so far. Settlers is more Caesar than RTS, but SC2 can't go lower than that. ...right?

Why SC2 has cartoon graphics is actually meant to appeal to the Koreans.

Seriously.. Look at the games that koreans play.. e.g RO. Its all cartoony and flashy flashy.

Dude "You" is not blizzard target market.. Koreans is their target

Those cartoon graphic are really ok to me! looks great!

We have talked about it once it was announced, I think it will be a cliff hanger at the end of SC2.

Yeah,most likely there will be cliffhanger ending again.

Sorry I think I forgot we actually discussed it last time.

Yeah, Blizzard games are always left with cliffhanger.

Some of the ending of their games as follows:



Which is the correct spelling for Orcs? Orks (Warhammer 40k)? Sure is mind boggling.

Guess im right.Blizzard only have the bloody Koreans in their mind.

I might as well forget about SC2 since it's made for the them only.

For me,i absolutely hate games with cartoony look,unless it's cell shaded graphics like XIII.

What I meant was the colourful eye candy, not the cartoony designs.

Oh well. Blizzard's games are probably going to follow the cartoony designs in the future, aka WC3 style. I just hope any upcoming Diablo doesn't end up the same way. I was pretty unimpressed with Diablo in D2 where he looked like a dog on all fours rather than the bipedal monster in D1.
