StarCraft II

[Shorty]

I can't believe I'm the one who actually has to start this thread.

Ghosts of the Past Trailer.

EXPRESS YOUR ENTHUSIASM HERE.

Blizz makes better movies in their FMVs than most movie companies make in real movies.

Starcraft is smurfing godly and this is going to rock like nothing else ever.

I want to be Arcturus Mengsk.

This is officially the only thing I've seen on the game besides a couple of gameplay videos maybe a year a go and some screen shots along the way. Normally I would pay more attention to games that interest me to see if they're worth it, but when their worth isn't even in question I like to go in fresh with no preconceptions or mountainous expectations.

This game will undoubtedly be awesome, I've had my pre-order for a while, and next week is going to smurfing rock.

I want this but I'm not sure even my Vaio laptop can handle this and my vaio is pretty powerful. I know the vaio won't do FFXIV already but hopefully SC2 will run

PC minimum specs for those curious:

* 2.6 GHz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
* 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB required for Windows Vista/Windows 7 users)
* DVD drive
* 12 GB hard disk space
* 128 MB PCIe NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT or ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card or better
* Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7 (With the latest Service Packs) And DirectX 9.0c.)

I can't see anyone having trouble running this unless their computer is either 5+ years old or they just don't have a graphics card powerful enough (which could be possible with a laptop). The system specs are far from excessive though, just like every other Blizzard game ever made.

I just hope Activision isn't too prominent (read: hopefully none) in my Starcraft experience.

KotickkkkkKKKKKK!

Also yeah, Blizz know well the benefits of keeping minimum specs to a minimum. That's one of the reasons WoW is so successful; even when it was new you didn't need a supercomputer to play it.

My computer can't even handle smurfing pong. There's no way in hell I'll be able to get this :C

[Kossage]

I need to buy a new computer to run this game, but it'll be worth it. I've waited for this game for over a decade (particularly to see how the story will continue), and it looks like SC2 will improve on SC in every way. The only disappointing thing so far is that they've changed Kerrigan's voice actress, but at least most of the original cast is back to reprise their roles. The Galaxy Editor looks nifty, and I'm sure the modding community will create some fantastic single and multiplayer campaigns.

Been playing the Beta for a while, ready to kick ass and chew..aw to hell with it X3

[Iceglow]

My laptop then looking at the specs posted here should be fine

[Bolivar]

Really makes me wanna buy a new computer.

Well how is it? I never played SC1 so if people say SC2 is fun as hell then I might get it!

Starcraft was the C&C killer of '95 basically it was a proper killer of the C&C mold games. It had similar features but featured far more tactical gameplay (zerg commanders, try recovering from a failed rush and then entering a protracted attrition war) and overall became something of a legendary game. Even today you can buy SC1 and SC1:Brood Wars and play them and they're good quality solid games.

SC2 has been anticipated for the last 15 years, ever since the first one and brood wars came out we knew sc2 would eventually come but they made us wait 15 god damn long years....I reccomend these games to anyone with a computer what can run them.
