Four Minutes of StarCraft 2 HD Singleplayer Footage

"Outstanding"

ill probably just play this to watch the pretty cut scenes.

If the actual gameplay had half the wow factor of the game's amazing cinematics, I'd gladly shell out and join the game''s enormous fan base.. IMHO, RTS games are falling behind FPS games because they just don't pack any of the same excitement or thrills..

Looks fantastic but I am still ANGRY that it won't make 2009. I have a huge gaping hole in my holiday gaming plans. Now there will be an SC2 box sitting on my shelf, beckoning to me, when it isn't vacation time. The campaign has multiple playthroughs and after a 10 year wait I will just have to explore every nook like I did with Fallout 3. This will easily ask 100-200 hours of gameplay from me. Damn you, Blizzard!

That interface is atrocious.

The game looks beautiful, but I don't see the appeal of the RTS zerg gameplaying model. Pick all your units, have them run around all on top of one another with synchronized firing and movement, zerging individual targets. Meh, why not just have a game that replaced the zerg horde with one unit that's accomplishing the same thing. Just not a genre for me I guess since I grew up on tactical tabletop games where zergs didn't exist.

I'm curious, I noticed when the units die a blood splatter spot is shown on the playing field. Now when you pass the area up and come back to it is the stain still there? That is one thing I never understood why developers can't leave deaths on the field. I think it would be cool if you had to eventually walk over the dead bodies to move over that certain area. Hell, how about dragging the dead carcus's and use them for barracades, etc... Might open up a whole new method of mighty pyhton's, "Bring out your dead"... :-)

IN MY FACE PLZ

don't know, seems uninspiring to me. but i'm sure the ingame movies should kick ass.

The dialog on the forest map seemed a little silly. SOMEONE WAS SMART AND PUT BUNKERS ON THE ROAD, WHY? They built them and abandoned them. AT LEAST THESE BUNKERS ARE HERE!

Units slacking around, beeteebeep! with framerate pause, Incoming Transmission, Kasshhht,

I DONT GIVE A ****

/kasshhht

how is this game ANY different from SC1??

boooorinnnngg....

looking fwd to CNC4, although I know CNC died at CNC3 already.

I refused to watch this. Don't want to spoil anything from the single player even if there is nothing important in there.

wow, that looks really polished. looking forward to it

I appreciate the amount of polish and work Blizzard puts into all of their games, but I think I've lost the feel for frantic RTS games. I'm trying to play red alert 3 right now and I just can't get into it. I dislike the constant transmissions/interruptions during play, and I'm starting to dislike naval combat.

In a slightly related but mostly not thought, whenever I play civ IV I try to minimize/eliminate naval importance altogether because the AI sucks at using it and it takes the fun out of the game.

An NDA must have been lifted today. Beta today? I'm hoping during/after BlizzCon for sure.

3:40 looks like a 25 man raid encounter in wow, lol

The forest environment looked nice :)
I was never a fan of RTS games with aliens in them though...I always thought they were cheesy and gay as hell! But I might give this game a shot (since it's so popular).
And they need to change that HUD ASAP! It's hideous.

Another thing, I wish they would do something different with the health of units in RTS games. The way it is now, unit X vs unit Y will always give the same outcome. How about some location specific health damage, atleast on larger enemies instead of constantly shooting at something till it's health bar is empty. I don't know...come up with something you lazy developers!!
And it also seems like there is no taking cover in this game, or not even smart cover where your units will automatically use nearest cover. They just stand wherever you move them and shoot at the enemy like they're zombies. Atleast cover adds a bit more depth to the combat.

looks good, though was never a big StarCraft guy, kinda 50-50 with the ui thing, making it look almost exactly like nr 1 but only other complain is though it is nice with the semi-big picture on the left when someone's talking in single-player it looked like (at least on Rayne) that he always has same expression.


.. By the way, when did lava move so fast back 'n forth :P

Please let the beta come out during or straight after blizzcon! I want to play it already =O

How's that an HD video except for the resolution? The pixelation makes me cringe.
Can't it be put to Fileshack in the original format without mangling it by converting to Flash. And FLV1 format instead of H.264 or at least VP6... arrrgh, sucks. It's akin to using MPEG1 nowdays!

Looks pretty damn good, but then it bloody should do, they've had long enough!

my pussy is so wet for this

Hey, the original voice actor for Raynor is back!

Weren't they using another guy for SC2 originally? I seem to remember another actor with a lot more southern twang voicing him in a video from Blizzcon or whereever.

This looks great, I'm happy they are doing 3 full-game campaigns if each of them is so rich.

Wow I didn't care much about it before, but after seeing this, I'm pretty amazed!

Hmmm SC player here. It's come a long way since announcement. Get the air unit movement right and things should be hunky dory. I''m getting a lotta good vibe from this.

And also alotta C&C vibe... It's slightly too zoomed out for spectating.

lol the sound effects make me feel right at home

I want this so badly.

LOL the cruiser nukes a tonne of it's own men on fire at 1:20!
Nature / greenery section at 2:00 makes me want War 4 so bad >:( - also awesome, nice to see a new forest environment.
Love all of what I see here, so much better than previous videos.
Fuck MP, I always liked SC for the SP and the SP here really does look like War 3 crossed with SC1, AWESOME.

Looking good. Can't comment much about how the multiplayer might turn out ,as I have very little experience in that field, but the singleplayer is looking really hot.
