Starcraft 2 to be three games, internet to explode

<< < (30/46) > >>

snalin:
Speculation is bullshit, Starcraft is cooler than sex. OKAY? GOT IT?

satsugaikaze:
Again, I'd reserve my full judgement on this issue when it's actually released. It could go either way, and to the extremes.

ArcAirbender:
Check this out, there's a friendly chat over at GiantBomb.com over what SC2 can be, straight from the horse's mouth:

The phrases I found most interesting:

"It's a full multiplayer game. Look at it just like Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, The Frozen Throne, and then if we'd done a third, this is exactly how we're looking at this."

" are there any differences between the units and the tech in the campaign, and what you're going to see in the multiplayer? Is there single-player-specific stuff?  Answer: ....one of the things we've done in the past....to pitch the solo campaign as a learning tool for online play. We are not doing that anymore...these two parts of the game can live separately from one another. We can have a solo play experience with its own technology choices, its own options, and then for multiplayer it's a completely different rule set."

"So what are the compatibility logistics between all these boxes? If I only have Terran, and two or three years later my friend buys Protoss, can we play together? Do you limit the available units to the products you own? How does that work?

CS: We haven't finalized those details yet. We're still talking about it. "

and this one is for SATSUGAIKAZE :p

"You're saying it's a minimum of a year between, say, Terran and Zerg. Can you peg or at least estimate what year we'll see Starcraft II Battle Chest on shelves?

CS: That's an unanswerable question. [laughs]"


All in all, this makes me think that the game is far greener than I once believed. Perhaps it will even miss the 2009 launch. (this is ALL speculation from my part)
I won't have my hopes up for a battlechest this decade =/

satsugaikaze:
lololz of course the battlechest won't even be heard of for ages on end.

But I am a very patient man. =) Besides, Blizzard is always good at making their customers crap themselves by dropping cryptic hints that require a hacker to decipher =P

Jackie Blue:
I still say it's shit that I won't be able to play a full Protoss campaign until 2011.

I mean Jesus did they have to start with the most boring race?   :x
