Calza Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 No MMO but a proper sequel to StarCraft. The site has been lanuched. http://eu.starcraft2.com/ And I must say it does look really good however I've never played a StarCraft or a WarCraft for that matter and my pc at the moment probably couldn't run it .
UziT Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I was just about to post a thread! Man I cannot wait for this, thank god it aint abother mmo!
KKOB Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I was thinking about making a thread this morn till i thought it may have been too niche, anywho . . . i can't wait!!! Like all blizzard stuff its getting released for PC and Mac, so i should finally have something to stretch my mac's graphics card out on. Kinda wished there was a release date but i think it'll be early next year.
Moohawk! Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I absolutely cannot wait for this! Though I'm probably gonna have to buy a new PC (OR mac?!) for it. My current one has been arsey about playing a lot of games for about a year. Damn it. The video I saw on IGN looks gorgeous. Want. This. NOW.
Shino Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Thank you god!!! I'm so happy they made this dicision! And it looks so good, while still feeling the same.
KKOB Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I think i might try to play some warcraft 3 online later, see if its possible, if not i'll just play campaign mode.
Daft Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 STARCRAFT...................AAAAAAARRRRRGHH!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!! I loved the first one. I hope my computer can run this one! Any news on any new armies? I don'y mind if its just the old ones since the balance is ace! This sums my feelings up:
KKOB Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 STARCRAFT...................AAAAAAARRRRRGHH!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!! I loved the first one. I hope my computer can run this one! Any news on any new armies? I don'y mind if its just the old ones since the balance is ace! This sums my feelings up: they have brief descriptions on the Starcraft 2 webby site. i didnt play the first one but i'm kinda tempted to see if i can find a copy cheap . . .
Moohawk! Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Any news on any new armies? Doesn't look like there will be any new races. They made it quite clear that there are only going to be 3 playable races. Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Oh and Takeo, DEFINITELY see if you pick the first one up. Such an awesome game. The 3 races play so differently, it's just so much fun. The only complaint I have with it now is the maximum resolution it runs at is something really small so you can't see that much of the map at once. Didn't notice that as a problem 'BACK IN THE DAY' but now it's a bit irritating.
KKOB Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 looking at the box online i've saw the game before in CEX, so i'll have a look later, i won't buy it till after exams however. *sigh*
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 A little dissapointed that it wasnt an MMO, but still awesome. Edit: Can someone please remove that annoying picture that makes the screen twitch? Its in Dafts post.
Bluejay Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I was thinking about making a thread this morn till i thought it may have been too niche, anywho . . . Korea is angered by this statement. Any chance this will hit the 360? My PC isn't much of a gamer.
KKOB Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Korea is angered by this statement. Any chance this will hit the 360? My PC isn't much of a gamer. too niche for this bored at this time, i mean not much is known yet, as with most things blizzard we find out stuff like a month or so before launch lol Korea is happy, pro gamers are pissed they have to learn a new game to make their money though.
KKOB Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 just watching this footage http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/11671 and WOW! i can not wait for this game!
KKOB Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Whats the chances of being able to find Starcraft and the expansion for mac? lol i'm gunna look in CEX see if i can find it. if not i may get frozen throne.
Calza Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Wow even eBay only have the PC version, I guess you'll be looking for a while.
KKOB Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Wow even eBay only have the PC version, I guess you'll be looking for a while. probs end up buying frozen throne then . . . if anything - Amazon has some of the Mac ones for sale pre-owned . . .
theguyfromspark Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 There's a couple here at amazon, but i would email the seller to check they're the mac version before buying
KKOB Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 i don't even know how to buy from sellers on amazon, i assume its ebay like but without paypal? would i be better off getting starcraft or the cheaper expansion for warcraft III?
theguyfromspark Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 i don't even know how to buy from sellers on amazon, i assume its ebay like but without paypal? It's exactly the same as buying from amazon direct, i've done it a few times with no problems, one of those sellers is selling starcraft plus the expansion for 20 quid which doesn't sound too bad.

Bought frozen throne of amazon for £5 with P&P, still gunna try and find starcraft for under a tenner. Got starcraft and diablo II for 8.98 from HMV ^_^
