Calm down, just because we/I/whoever don´t like some parts of the game doesn´t mean that we dislike the game as a whole.

The colorful units are good as they are. The reason it isnt gritty is because than it would just be another RTS game which tries to look realistic.

I guess you then don´t have any problem to name even one modern RTS with a Sci-Fi setting an realistic graphics.

Starcraft was always cartoonized but gritty at the same time. Just look at the Terran faces and portraits in SC1. Actually everything is directly the same proportions, design, everything, as SC1, just with brighter colors. I agree that they need to use a more washed color palette though.

EDIT: Also what the fuck did they do to the poor siege tanks? :(

[...]
Ingame in SC1, battlecruisers hardly resemble this at all. The reason SC2 battlecruisers don't look like this ingame is, I presume, because they have this broken-down unproportional representation like in SC1.

Hm, guess it all comes down to weather one sees SC1 graphics as representing it´s design or just a means to an end ´cause more "realistic" graphics wouldn´t have been practical back then.

I think you can see why this comment pissed me off:

Meeh, was hoping for a real Starcraft II, not some Starcraft 1.5 + WCIIIx0.5 ...

Don't act victimized now just because I jump to defend the game I love when you deliver a smartass comment as if you have completely turned it down despites only seeing it in the pre-beta stage and about 2% of the content.

Sorry but no, i can´t see it. I´m talking about what was shown to us, which is SCII´s graphical design. All three sides are shown meaning that their design is fix by now and won´t change much. Even having seen only 25% to 50% of each side is quite enough to judge about their main graphical characteristics.

Maybe you need to relax too, knight of the anti-hype war order?

Naah, our AHWO usually focuses against a german gaming magazine, so we don´t really have any capacities left for rambling on about just newly-announced pre-beta games.

Oh well. At the present time these are my worries:

- Protoss needs some flesh and blood units revealed soon or they'll be a gold-and-blue scrin imitation. And those giant walkers and the mothership are a blow under the belt...

- Too slick and colorful graphics.

- Blizz may be too scared of changing the game in any major way.

If anything, SC2's graphics are similar to SupCom. [...]

I feel the same ever since I read this and the other thread .

[Dr HaxX]

Looks like an awesome game! I never got to play the first one... But I plan on buying the second! Looks like it'll be worth my time.

[Golan]

If you haven´t played the first one you should really try it! It´s a great game that´s absolutely worth spending the 5 bucks it gets sold for now.

Edited by Golan, 19 May 2007 - 19:25.

[Dr HaxX]

I'll do that Golan. I just might do that...

[Prophet of the Pimps]

Dont play SC2 if you havent played SC1. you wont get WTF is going on because the story is too deep.

[Athena]

Would it matter if you haven't heard the ending of SC1? I'm not sure if I finished the last mission or not . (note: don't spoil here, though).

[Prophet of the Pimps]

have you finished the hidden mission?

[Hobbesy]

Hell, its about time.

(Inside joke, watch the trailers)

[Athena]

@ Prophet
I don't remember.. I think so but I'm honestly not sure anymore, it's been ages . Maybe I should replay the original game sometime.

The one accesible when finishing one of the last BW-Zerg missions fast enough?

[Rumpullpus]

ooo there may be a fourth race blizz is holding out on us lol

[Prophet of the Pimps]

the Zergtoss.
They have to add a 4th race otherwise this will be nothing more then SC1 in 3D. they need to add the fourth race to get the story to a whole new level and if they don't then Blizzard is just playing it too damn safe.

SC2 FINALLY!!!... HELL YEAH!!

[/rant]

anyway, i have officially changed my theme, to a custom SC2 one; with battlecruisers.

[_Jack]

I have to admit... when I heard about c&c3 I was like "woot" but when I heard about this I cried... starcraft was the first PC I ever owned and this is the day I've been waiting for for almost 10 years and I am SO excited that they're finally going to make a sequel

[Dr HaxX]

You crazed StarCraft Zealots are starting to sound like me when I heard about the release of C&C3... It's hilarious. Especially Mathias, Golan, and Jack. I think I've said identical things about Tiberian Sun in relation to C&C3 here in the forums that you guys have said about SC1 in relation to SC2.

Cracks me up.

[ultra1437]

thank you...

i guess...

but yeah, i get your point, and i agree, but i shoulda been included tho, i have had it since about 2 weeks after SC1 (and BW) came out.

Holy mother of David, Jesus, Paul and Goomba. I have to get this. Shielded marines and Stalkers? Too sweet to pass up. Plus they've probably kicked World Editor up a few notches.

Hope they did something to space combat though.

Must... Mass... Siege Tanks... Carriers...

[Judgement]

A forth race would be awesome indeed. Though I am reminded of the Hybrids from the Star Killer mod. Oh and there is concept art for it. In the art trailer, in one of the pictures, it shows the eggs and a new breed being made in a stasis chamber.

Heh... Well, I get warm and fuzzy inside when I think about CnC1 aka. tiberian dawn, which I played roughly at the same time as SC1. But no further CnC games ever reproduced this feeling.

[Revan]

I'm pretty sure there will be Zergtoss, but most likely similar to infested terran, when you infest a nexus or W/E.
