i still don't like the engine for the sc2...
looks something like RNA engine to me..
hope when they had finalize everything, they use diff version of engine.

Diablo still long.. can't say anything about it yet.
But the SC most probably RNA, from the demo, can't really tell.. didn't know they got turn up the graphics to max or not while showing..

well... besides of gameplay, i would really love to see some cool graphics improvements in this new era of game universe..

It's a brand new engine in SC2.Whats that gonna do with RNA?

I doubt that Blizzard gonna use EA's ancient engine.

Dont wanna disappoint you man,
guess SC will be using more Ancient than then RNA..
Havok ...O.o Same goes with diablo 3..

SDK ...O.o Same goes with diablo 3..

ROFLMAO .... who cares about graphic, i wouldn't mind if its 2D with higher res than SC:BW.
Im fine with current graphic, as long as this new SC2 provide good visual clarity like SC:BW.

then you guys are real hardcore gamefreaks! lol

i just like graphics, i love to see effects, impressive stuff game provides.. not the dull everything Low Settings.. i cant play game like that.. lol

But i guess Blizzard won't give the high end graphics game, it's games are well known for the Impressive Cinematics, and does not need high spec pc to play the game.

So we're all eagerly waiting together for that wonderful morning when we boot up and check www.blizzard.com or www.battle.net or www.starcraft2.com and see the top news article "Starcraft 2 beta will begin ". The question is, when will that wonderful day come? This post is a list of a couple key things that blizzard representatives have unveiled that have led me to believe that the Starcraft 2 beta will be announced on March 31st, 2009.

Why that specific date? It happens to be the 11 year anniversary of the release of Starcraft. Blizzard proved that they are aware of these significant historic dates when they announced Diablo III on the anniversary of Diablo II's release at the BWWI '08.

To reinforce this, in a recent article from www.starcraftwire.net we were given a list of Starcraft 2 details that Blizzard rep Xordiah released at a German gaming event. The article lists a number of facts that no one new much about like Dark Pylons and big SCVs and a week or two later Q&A Batch 49 revealed to use the Mule (Big SCV) and Dark Pylons. This gives us reason to believe that everything Xordiah said was true.

The signifcant detail she released was that Blizzard had set a beta date internally and were just waiting until the right time to unveil it to the public. If this is true then it's extremely encouraging to my theories. Blizzard would not set a date even internally that was really far away. Blizzard never gives us dates more then a week or two in advance, they probably don't set dates internally unless they are fairly certain of them. The further away the day is the less certain they would be since there would be more unforseen variables to account for.

This then comes full circle with my theory. If they set a specific date in advance the date must have some significance. Otherwise they would simply say, "When we feel it's ready then we'll announce the beta." They've chosen a specific date in advance because the date has some significance. Blizzcon is too far away for it to be the date because of what I explained in the previous paragraph. They wouldn't set a specific date that far in the future. The only significant date for Starcraft coming up before then that I can think of is March 31st, the 11th anniversary of Starcraft's release.

Some other clues to a beta announcement coming soon is the recent introduction of the new battle.net account system. This hints at blizzard gearing up for the introduction of battle.net 2.0 which will first be tested in the Starcraft 2 beta. Additionally, when you create and account on this site you have the option to opt-in for upcoming beta tests. So anyone who's interested in getting in on the beta action should sign-up an account and opt-in ASAP.

Additionally at the Blizzard support site there is an icon for Starcraft 2 that currently leads nowhere but it's clear that they are even preparing their websites for the start of the Starcraft 2 beta.

Finally, www.blizzcon.com/beta the URL that blizzard directed Blizzcon '08 goers to in order to sign up for the beta has begun accepting beta keys. At the moment, all you recieve in return for entering your key is a confirmation e-mail but it is definitely hinting towards the beta starting very soon.

So we'll just have to wait and see, I'm sure Blizzard's site will see a ton of traffic next Tuesday whether or not they make any announcement. Everyone expects something for the anniversary whether it's the beta or the second battle report.
