Starcraft 2 - Official!


Recommended Posts

As someone who said earlier on slashdot, MY WIFE FOR HIRE!!!!

haha i just repeated that to my wife. she laughed ;)

anyhoo, i'm definitely excited and yet i'm sad knowing we won't see this game until ..... well, i say at least another year.

maybe that's a good thing....lost so much sleep back in the day.

I lost my StarCraft CD. I hope some store in my area has it stashed away somewhere. By the way, is it just me or did Blizzard reveal so much in such little time? Yesterday, all I could find was StarCraft II rumours. Today.. I could find gameplay videos, CGI cutscenes, artwork, etc.

You say it like It's a bad thing :p

I'm thinking this game may launch right before Christmas 07. It appears they have a lot the've been hiding. I am very impressed of how nothing was leaked at all!

Oh this game still sales. Every store I've been in that sales games still has the game and x-pack for around 19/20 bucks.

I think they've done an alright job with keeping the graphics similar to the original StarCraft. I just can't wait for the singleplayer campaign. I'm also looking forward to the Blizzard CGI cutscenes. :D

Hopefully the same goes for the stores I've been to. And I really hope they release it before the end of 2007. It'd be a nice way to end the year.

After watching a few more gameplay vids, I have to say the Protoss mothership looks BADASS. In one scene it created some sort of a vortex that sucked in everything in the vicinity with some trippy sfx! :D

Yeah, that was cool. It looked like an artificial black hole. The way it sucked in the dropships and battlecruisers was amazing. What's even cooler is the fact that both battlecruisers were still firing while being warped and deformed around the event horizon of the blackhole.

My friend just showed me these two videos:

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=66572 -> 1

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=66561 -> 2

They are the gameplay video (split into two parts), but it's the video directly, not filmed by a camera at the event.

This just looks so good.

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
