Added on May 19, 2007, 2:20 pmHey wait thats the Generals Enginee Mod for Starcraft.

Ill try to update this page with pics if possible, my friend is there, i told him to take some shots, hopefully he remembers .

Gees I wish I can do that , your friend must be loaded or he is a korean.

He is a korean pro gamer.

How do u get to know him is he SC or W3?

3:26 - Showing another video of "things to come." concept art for SC2 - zerg landscapes - ruined terran structures - freen filds - SC2 looks, at least visually, strikingly similar to SC1 - both in unit and map designs. Now showing a giant rush of zerglings - probably over 100 of them, swarming with no slowdown - mroe character art - finishes with the StarCraft II logo.

i dunno, guys, the writer of IGN is 1 of the few ppl in the world to get at first look at this game, but he seem very calm and bored when writing this update on IGN website, nothing about how awesome the game engine looks, just very detail description of units showing on the teaser....

i mean i will be more excited if OMGWFTBBQ  is the only thing he can write on the update , at least then i kno SC2 will be awesome n leave us speechless at first sight, but judging from the update this guy is writing, i not setting my hopes too high....

"SC2 looks, at least visually, strikingly similar to SC1 - both in unit and map designs. "

hope we wouldnt be disapointed when the teaser is out on the net

Some more pictures.

Hehe same here I'll play the game when its near release prolly withough cheat this time. I hope its 16 players this time round compared to W3 12 players.

omfg i cant wait to play 4vs4 on this game.

Youtube video!

This language is Korean.

"status : ....on service"
"...finally, the time is come."

I'm surprised that the graphics are very 'lite' compared to games like COH and WIC this should be a very system friendly game just like Warcraft 3.

I want to know if the gameplay will introduce something new like in games such COH and WIC or will it stay the same. I somehow suspect the gameplay will be a carbon copy of SC1.

Blizzard Entertainment(R) announces highly anticipated sequel at 2007 Worldwide Invitational event in South Korea

SEOUL, South Korea - May 19, 2007 - Blizzard Entertainment(R) today unveiled StarCraft(R) II, the sequel to its award-winning real-time strategy game StarCraft, at the 2007 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational event in Seoul, South Korea. The announcement took place inside the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, in front of thousands of attendees, who received a presentation that included a StarCraft II cinematic trailer and a gameplay demonstration by the development team.

Designed to be the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, StarCraft II will feature the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races, overhauled and re-imagined with Blizzard's signature approach to game balance. Each race will be further distinguished from the others, with several new units and new gameplay mechanics, as well as new abilities for some of the classic StarCraft units that will be making a reappearance in the game. StarCraft II will also feature a custom 3D-graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously.

"With StarCraft II, we'll be able to do everything we wanted to do with the original StarCraft and more," stated Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We recognize that expectations are high following the long-running popularity of the original game, but we plan to meet those expectations and deliver an engaging, action-packed, competitive experience that StarCraft players and strategy gamers worldwide will enjoy."

StarCraft II will include a unique single-player campaign, as well as fast-paced online play through an upgraded version of Blizzard's renowned online gaming service, Battle.net(R). In addition, the game will come with a powerful, full-featured map editor that will put the same tools used by Blizzard's designers into the hands of players.

Blizzard is developing StarCraft II for simultaneous release on the Windows(R) and Macintosh(R) PC platforms. Further information about the game, including details on the single-player, multiplayer, and map-editor features, as well as system requirements, pricing, and availability, will be announced in the months ahead.

Didn know thats how they make marriens.

Then I think there are plenty of criminals in the barracks when the barracks are destroyed they run wild.

I guess the marine in the trailer wont last long in the battle field coz you can notice his helmet close up with him having his cigar. 
I guess he gonna suffocate to death first 

The graphics look kinda like low standard compare to today's games.So,i shouldn't expect to see ragdoll physics in SC2.Anyway,i care more about gameplay than graphics.

Also,please not DotA 2 in SC2.

Lol which brings the question, are they going to bring heroes?

Hope not,SC2 will look weird with an overpowered hero.

how come this starcraft2 is just like another expansion pack to the sc1? no new race...

No heroes, no Do*** gah.

Dotards can stay outdated in WC3 And SC fans can live in peace~

Last time it's Defence Of The Ancients aka DOTA,

Hopefully they wont make SC2 into DOTA.......

Last time it's Defence Of The Ancients aka DOTA,

OMGGGGG
EVEN IF THEY COME OUT THE DEMO NOW I WOULD BUY IT IF THEY CHARGE ME

Seriously DotA really killed my interest in WC3.Now,i dont even feel like playing back WC3's melee game anymore.

Whatever DotA is it called in Sc2,i dont care but i just dont want it there at all.

Samething for those Tower Defence games,they also make me sick.

hopefully SC2 map editor don't supports anything else beside terrain creating..
if not..it will really end up like WC3..

Finally something to repay the loyalty of all SC players after they called off the Starcraft: Ghost project.

Something to show those Dota noobs wut the real RTS is about.

OMG i miss those carriers with lots of interceptors flying around it...

www.starcraft2.com is up
