StarCraft II

And The New Game is StarCraft II

http://pc.ign.com/articles/788/788627p1.html

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.

3:23 - now showing terran and protoss fight - marines and zealots clashing on the ground - mothership and battle crusers in the air - framerate seems relatively stable as more units stream in - hard to tell - about 100 units on screen right now - a few of the new protoss units just came in - nuclear launch detected warning - every unit on screen destroyed - three nukes were launched at once - then zergs rush in and spell "GG" while turning into suicidal bombs.

3:18 - warprey also very effective against structures - very vulnerable to small unit fire - shws warpreys getting wiped out by terran marines. Physics system lets debris from warpreys roll down a ramp. Showing one more unit - warped in in a serious of cubes - giant floating base - called a protoss mothership - can only have 1 at a time - cost big resources - special abilities include timebomb that slows all enemy missiles inside - shows terran missle launcher shooting in projectiles that stop in the field before they reach the ship - when field ends missiles drop the ground - planet cracker attack - giant lasers stream from ship to ground - ship can be moved around while planet cracker laser is active - the ship looks like a metallic, triangular sand dollar - mothership can create a black hole anywhere it wannts to - creates distortion that actually sucks ships in and destroys them - in the demo the black hole destroyed four terran battle cruisers in about ten seconds.

3:16 - showing space platform environment, land mass floating over planets / nebulae. Showing phoenix units failing to destroy terran battle cruisers - new protoss unit - Warprey - flying unit that does increased damage the longer it hits a target with it's continuous blue laser.

3:15 - Zerglings can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions. Colossus using new IK system to move across differences in terraing height. Colossus extremley weak against air strike - New unit for protoss - Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.

3:14 - Protoss colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings.

3:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming in, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.

3:09 - controlling protoss zealots - still has psi blades and personal shield - new charge ability that let him quickly close range on enemies. Siege tanks shown - still the same type of behavior where they can lock down - take out zealots really quickly - new protoss unit - called immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.

3:07 - Showing gameplay footage - Looks like protoss ships - floating over asteroid/ base structure - entering protoss ase - similar looking buildings - vespene gas still in the game - character pane shows up on right side - some protoss guy - shifts to terran bases floating on rockets over same type of territory - sill collecting crystals as resources - marines load out. Dustin is actually playing the game - nothing in the game is final.

3:05 - Morheim says everyone eager to see actual game - going to show actual gameplay - bringing up SC2 lead designer. Dustin Browder.

3:00 - FMV sequence in a spaceship - looks Terran - zooming in on a metal door - door opening - reveals a guy with a cigar in chains - prisoner - door shuts behind him - there's so much bass the room is shaking - guy steps into some kind of metallic devicce - legs are strapped in - guy rising toward ceiling - Korean text on screen got people very excited - another part of the machine is dropping metal arms on him - machine whirring - applying armor to his torso - extremly detailed visuals here - now guy is strapping on gloves - armor is molding together - seems like a Terran marine - rockets turn on - zerg now onscreen - Marine delivers a line - StarCraft 2 officially announced.

Sej je blo pričakovano. Ampak sem vseeno upal na Diablo 3

PS A je danes v Koreji praznik?

Pa se eden in-game video.

Drz pesti, da ne takrat kot duke nukem forever!

Me zanima kak bo v primerjavi z C&C3, bo kar težka bitka za prestol RTS, še posebaj, ker ima C&C kar fajn prednosti.

C&C kot strategija je daleč pod Starcraftom, tako po samo single-player izkušnji (način pripovedovanja zgodbe in pa sama zgodba), kakor tudi po glavnih elementih RTS - uravnoteženosti in raznolikosti ras (tri rase dejansko delujejo čisto drugače, niso vse tri rase narejene na enak način, pa imajo samo malo različne enote po izgledu in funkcionalnosti), pa seveda tudi po micro-managmentu (nekaj dobro postavljenih enot na pravem mestu ob pravem času naredi lahko dosti več škode proto celemu kupu enot z mass-attack taktiko).

Zelo dobro je tudi to, da ena enota ne naredi vedno xy damage, ampak je to zelo odvisno kakšen tip armorja ima nasprotnikova enota (fireboti so zelo močni proti Zerglingom in Hydraliskom, stavbam in tankom pa naredijo zelo malo škode), pa tudi stavbe niso tako krhke kot v C&C.

Če se bo Blizzard držal preverjenga recepta iz Starcraft&Brood Wars bo to spet popolna strategija z izboljšano grafiko in seveda z nadeljevanjem zgodbe. Samo ne smejo iti po poti Warcraft 3, ki je bolj RPG in kjer vedno zmaga hero-rush.

Zakaj pa mislite da je Starcraft še 9 let po izidu daleč najbolj igrana RTS na Korejskih pro gaming turnirjih?

Četudi bo SC2 hudo boljši od CC3 bo pomoje zanimivo videt kak bo na turnirjih, katero igro bojo izbrali. CC3 bo do takrat že precej uveljavljena in če bojo dajali ven popravke v taki količini kot so jih zdaj(menda je zadnji 12 listov :P ) bo vedno bolj uravnotežena. Drugače pa upam da bo SC2 prevladal, ki mi je bil vedno bolj pri srcu, četudi nisem neki RTS profi (verjetno niti povprečen nisem :P )

Aja o koreji pa tak ni dvoma da bojo posvojili SC2 :>

Blizzard all the way :)

Starcraft je bil špil mojga otroštva in bom tole sprobu tut če ne špilam skor nč več

Heh, ali pa še bolj verjetno, če bo Starcraft II slab, bo še vedno dovolj dober za nategunsko cuzanje denarja iz fanov, ki bodo itak pokupli vse kar ma Blizzard napis gor.

Faaj,kak patetičen špil (vsaj na sliki zgleda ko neka risanka..) .. Tega se nit ne taknem..

Mah grafika naj bo kakršnakoli (no je zaželjeno da so podprte višje ločljivosti), ampak to mi je pa res NAJMANJ pomemba stvar pri SC2.

Misliš da je pri 9-let starem Stracraftu grafika dobra? Strategije res niso "about fency graphics".

Grafika bo kr dobra. Podpora baje celo za DX10 in dovolj scalable, da bo delovalo na slabsih sistemih.

Mislim da bodo obdržali večino enot iz SC, mothership imaš lahko samo en naenkrat.

uf ja to sm caku ja...odkar sm tisti video na YOUTUBE-u k so neki spacal med warcraft3 pa sc se mi zdi...

morm priznat da use zgleda kot nekaka risanka, sam boli me!

gladko bom sou se enkat preigrt starcraft u naslednih mescih :P

Ne.

Glede na to, da Blizzard ni še prenesel nobene njihove igre (niti WoW ne, čeprav je bilo ogromno zahtev), StarCrafta II na Linuxu skoraj gotovo ne boš videl. Možen bo verjetno kak sadomazohizem z Winejem, samo po mojih izkušnjah, boš zgubo ogromno fps in pridobo kup grafičnih anomalij in nepojasnjenih sesutij.

>> Možen bo verjetno kak sadomazohizem z Winejem,

Kot je bilo že napisano... VSE blizardove igre delajo na linuxu brez najmanjšega problema.
Ravno včeraj sem lepo naložil StarCraft in sem danes e zaključil prvi scenarij.
Pred tem sem pa igral WC3, ki pravtako dela odlično.

Tko da bi se lahko vsi ostali zgledovali po blizardu glede tega.

še lepš bi blo če bi začel mal bolj uporabljat opengl :) (spet optimist pff)
ampak že da dela z wine je prijetna novica :)
lp

No StarCraft II in 2007.

Korejci pa v jok in na drevo.

Pa imamo končno vsaj znane zahteve kar se tiče grafičnih kartic.

For Starcraft II, we wanted to maximize compatibility with less capable systems to ensure hassle‐free game play for as broad a player base as possible. Yet we also wanted to utilize the full potential of any available hardware to ensure the game’s looks were competitive. This meant supporting a wide range of hardware, from ATI Radeon 9800/NVIDIA GeForce FX’s to the ATI Radeon HD 4800s and NVIDIA GeForce G200s

Saj še sploh ni izšel. Moramo najprej počakat da izide.

kdaj sedaj izide

Tole zgleda da si malo zamenjal s podporo in zahtevami. Piše da bo podpirala igra te grafične, ne pa da so to zahteve.

Iz http://www.starcraftwire.net/forums/sho... so vidne tele zahteve (ki pa niso uradne):
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

Optimal Requirements
GFX: Geforce 9000er or Radeon 3000er Series
CPU: Core 2 Duo 3 GHz or Athlon X2
RAM: 2GB with DualChannel mode

Se mi pa zdijo dokaj visoke te Optimal... No če igre še dobro leto ne bo, potem seveda tudi to ne bodo tako visoke.

@ WamPIRe-

Zgleda da ti sploh nisi prebral ničesar in pišeš kar na pamet?

Kar se da it mojega vira razbrat je da bo igra podpirala grafične kartice Nvidie od FX modelov naprej in od ATIja - radeon 9800 pa naprej. Če bi prebral novico, bi videl da je ta članek napisal nekdo ki je zaposlen pri Blizzardu. Iz tega članka se da razbrat kaj bodo minimalne in kaj optimalne zahteve. Vse nad tem bo seveda tudi optimalno.

Tisti link, ki si ga ti dal pa so sistemske zahteve, ki jih je izdal en igričarski časopis dolgo časa nazaj in so se izkazale za neresnične (to je potrdil tudi Blizzard).

@ Zero_011

To so zgolj špekulacije trgovcev, s katerim ponujajo prednaročila. Uradne izjave o izidu še ni. Tako rekoč "When it's done."

Blizz je napovedal tudi nov MMO (na zalost spet MMO), ki bo v novem settingu/nov IP.

Skoda.
