here's to 10 years from now when they announce Diablo 3
I'm... I'm just so... happy

Wonder what they'll blatently rip from WH40k this time around.
Squad-based commands instead of individual units would be nice.

Hey, HEY!
Don't forget that in Codex: Eye of Terror, GW turned right around and ripped off Blizzard with their plague of undeath.
Also the Tau post-date the Protoss and are pretty much the same damn thing.

This is looking like more of an expansion pack with new units and improved graphics than it is a new game. Which I'm sure that will make some people happy.
This is pretty much what I was thinking: "Oh wow, their new game is WC3 with new models..." Maradon! fucked around with this message on 05-19-2007 at 09:00 AM.

Hmm I always thought the Protoss had more in common with the Eldar.

I did notice the Space Marines in the screenshots are no longer looking like the WH40K Space Marines, they seem slimer, and with sheilds and bayonets.
Considering the announcement was in Korea it seemed obvious that the new game was a Starcraft title, but I was really hoping for a new Blackthorne or Rock N'Roll Racing game also being announced.

Tau had a rigid caste system, just like protoss. Tau were a communal race, just like protoss. Their technology even has a similar style.

So, these screenies are from that WC3 mod, right?

It looks like a shiny Starcraft 1 on War3's engine.
quote:
Talonus thought about the meaning of life:
SC was just a modified version of the WC2 engine, so it doesn't seem like much of a surprise that SC2 is a modified version of the WC3 engine. Lets hope the game is a bit more than that and takes some pointers from Dawn of War and Company of Heroes.Considering the announcement was in Korea it seemed obvious that the new game was a Starcraft title, but I was really hoping for a new Blackthorne or Rock N'Roll Racing game also being announced.
If there's anything Blizzard knows, it's how to apply the lessons learned from the mistakes and the successes of other games to their own
edit: if that's the warcraft 3 engine it's been very heavily improved Kegwen fucked around with this message on 05-19-2007 at 11:44 AM.
What is an RTS without a psychotic band of orcs?

Starcraft 2. With a psychotic band of orcs (orks), its Warhammer 40K.
I am so unbelievably excited about this, only reason I am not still playing Brood War to this day is because of the lack of a warcraft 3 style matchmaking system. Dredging through all the "$$$ no clutter no rush 45min moneybghxtreme" in order to get a game going was just entirely too tiresome 
I also approve of the new wraith design that accounts for the fact they can hover in place

DELAYED INDEFINATELY
because they did all the work for ps2 era consoles and wanted to move up to 360 era consoles

As long as it doesn't use the faggoty parts of WC3, it'll be great. It's already pretty obvious it won't have retardedly low unit caps in place. Now, if it also doesn't have stupid rock-paper-scissors style armor and damage either, it'll be set. I can live with resource upkeeps, those were just a minor annoyance than a huge pile of shit.

Am I going to hell if all I'm really looking forward to are the use map settings games? V-Tec Paintball anyone?
If they are still going to call it that. I've heard the korean guy referred to as the V. Tech Shooter.
What I really wanna see is the Sci-fi version of DOTA Icefrog or Eul churns out on the new engine. I mean, if they can do that crazy shit on WC3 Engine, SC2 should be better. Also, I hope they allow custom games to use the WC3 unit graphics.

Wow. Thats awfully moronic. I guess Honda better change the name of their engines valve train system from VTEC to something else!
I picked up this cheesy one called Fairy Tale Tycoon the other day where you're a fairy godmother maintaining her potion empire, teehee.

I agree,
There are people who petitioned against stupid thing before, corralating stuff like 9/11 and the 2nd LotR movie.
Wasn't trying to say I agree'd

It's far worse than that. There were people who petioned to have the 911 emergency phone number changed.

I..
I hadn't heard that...
I always figured that Osama picked 9/11 to make an emergency, but.... but for people to actually...
Holy shit,
If I wasn't an athiest, I think I'd be praying for god to kill someone for even thinking that up, let alone actually saying it.
I mean... wow. Dont people know the basic point of terrorism is to force changes on the other side? You know "If X then.... the TERRORISTS WIN!!!"
Ewww
9/11 was just random.

Check out the big brain on Skaw!
Buying a Tycoon game other than Roller Coaster Tycoon means you hate life.
Dino Park Tycoon was fucking fantastic, ok.

Last I heard the date they were supposed to go was 9/10 but they couldn't all get tickets for that date for the seats they had picked.9/11 was just random.
This is correct. The attacks were planned to happen whenever everything was ready and not a moment later.
Stalling for a particular day would have been spectacularly stupid.

Like people haven't chosen particular days to do things for symbollic reasons? They had a primary on 9/11 as well didnt they?
Not things as extremely time-sensitive as three coordinated airplane hijackings.
Seems just as easy to plan something for 9/10 as 9/11.
