The screenies look very good almost on par with World of Conflict with a tad bit more cartoony. I always feel that Blizzard games have their own style of graphics in comparison with all the games in the market.

In addition, the screenies look as if they were design for FPS market. Hmmm, Ghost? Anyone.

It's long time coming, Starcraft 2 might just be the official 'sport' in Korea again.

Here's for hoping.

what are you talking about!? dota is the best mmorpg created by blizzard!
i don't know frags, maybe they should keep WoW discussion in WoW boards too

If every single thing is design for the pro,what about the average gamers?They dont have to play SC2 and play some other RTS?

Seriously,whats wrong with automine?It's a freaking common feature in any RTS now.It's just like Rally Point in any RTS.

The more i see SC2,the more i feel it's only for the pros.Everything is tailored for them.Even Khaydarin Crystals needs to be team coloured because of them.

Could be. Then again, even the most official system specs are liable to have their goalposts moved a little this far out from release, so consider these unconfirmed ones more of a rough guide than a definite listing of all the new hardware you may or may not need later this year.

Minumum Requirements
GFX: GeForce 7/8 Series or Radeon 1000/2000 with 256 MB RAM
CPU: Pentium 4
RAM: 1 GB
Internet: ADSL 1 Mbit

Recommended Requirements
GFX: GeForce 8000 or Radeon 2000 series with 512 MB RAM
CPU: Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2.
RAM: 2 GB
Internet: ADSL 3 Mbit

These were obtained by Spanish mag Micromania, after a visit to Blizzard's offices. As such, I'm just going to class them as "official estimates", confirm my PC can run the recommended specs, then get on with my "waiting for Starcraft 2" candlelight vigil.

A Blizzard representative told IGN, "Blizzard has not released final, official system requirements for StarCraft II. The numbers you're seeing are a result of independent speculation from a Spanish game magazine."

For those who aren't up to date with hardware specs, these are fairly beefy hardware requirements as far as Blizzard games go, which usually cater towards a wide range of PCs.

let`s just hope the game release end of the year _-_......and december??@@

Seriously,December is definitely no chance at all.

Blizzard loves to take their time and finish the game.Nothing's fixed yet,from what i read from the Q&A batches.Almost each batch got some drastic changes to one of the race.The last one is Mothership role change.

Hope is the first step on the road of disappointment.

Really doubt that one is true.

The game is still far far from being complete.

My wallet will be flat flat if D3 and SC2 release at the same year.

Like got run over by a Siege Tank.

I serously doubt that Diablo 3 will launch in 08.

Activision Confirms StarCraft II for 2009
2nd Sep 2008 03:55 AM GMT



Activision are currently having the time of their lives, with Blizzard and themselves joining hand in one of the now biggest gaming companies around. Activision Blizzard are currently holding the Activate Asia Pacific conference in Auckland New Zealand to show their sales prowess from the Christmas line-up to regional representatives of retailers. In the fray, Managing Director Philip Earl made quite bold predictions about market shares for the upcoming Christmas, including sales of Wrath of the Lich King.

The interesting fact with this presentation is that while we recently got confirmation that StarCraft II won't be joining us for the Christmas of 2008, we WILL be seeing StarCraft II sometime during 2009.

Next year's offerings from Activision Blizzard should include highly anticipated PC strategy title StarCraft II, the sequel to one of the world's most enduringly popular games.


While this isn't a bold statement by any measure, it's nice to hear that communication inside the massive company talks in the terms of "2009" rather than "sometime in the distant future". Most predictions of StarCraft II's release date range around 2009, so fans will not get overly surprised by this announcement. Seeing how the release schedule for Diablo II is at least slightly linked to that of StarCraft II, there are probably plenty of Diablo fans out there that are happy to know this.

A word of caution though! Even though Activision Blizzard owns Blizzard, they have always been a very independent company, regardless of owners, and could very well hold StarCraft back to 2010 just to prove us wrong...

I won't be buying this at all. Lame ass rape attempt just to try to rush to DoW 2.
Too bad DoW 2 actually has good graphics, doesn't want to try to charge you for Battle.net, and the original game will actually be ENOUGH to play for a long time (they finish the game before even thinking of expansions- THAT'S the difference).

So the first SC2 faction is for Terran campaign Wings of Liberty. So we only see Terran in the 1st product? Only multiplayer is Terran fighting itself?

BlizzCon 08: New Battle.Net Will Have Fees

A new version of the multiplayer browser Battle.Net will debut with Starcraft II. How will it be superior to the previous version? Well, it'll be able to hit you up for money.

During a BlizzCon 08 panel discussion, Diablo 3 director Jay Wilson said, "We are looking to monetize Battle.Net so that we get to keep making these games and updating features. We kind of have to.” Blizzard wants to avoid putting in a subscription but yes, some as-yet-unknown features will cost money.

Apparently Activision really likes the word "monetize". They've been using it a lot lately, first with Guitar Hero: World Tour, then with Call of Duty: World At War, and now Battle.Net. Guess they've settled on a strategy for their top franchises from here on out.

Quite possible the paid content for Battle.Net is something superfluous, like custom avatars for the browser. If they tried to sell special items or some such, an angry mob with pitchforks would gather. It's also possible Wilson was talking about additional episodes for the game. Whatever it is, be sure to keep your wallet handy.
