[Ralle]

Hey everyone!
I have been told that new screenshots of SCII has been released. You can see them here:

I don't like the graphics.

 

[TDR]

I love the graphics. Though that zerg muck doesn't look as gross as it used to...

 

[ArcticInferno]

Yeah I agree. Perhaps the one in the previous version looks more viscous.

 

[Fimbus]

I still think it's a shame that the Tauren Marines was just a joke
Although it would fuck everything up I just think it would be awesome to attack with an army of cows with plasma guns

 

[Zombie]

The infested terrain (couldn't remember the name) doesn't look so good. I expected they'll change the outlook.

 

[Gilles]

The poor banelings! Why are they so big?!

I have to say Protoss got the best looking update. Ultralisk look freaking sweet, but zerglings are a bit of a disappointment for me.

 

[Zombie]

Me too. Werewulf's zergling looks way better.

I think it is like an editor-only thing... It probably isn't in the Starcraft games, but it probably is an actual usable unit.

I don't know why everyone says the graphics look weird. I love them. I love the style and everything. I bet with a better camera angle it would look pretty fricken' sweet.

 

[NearbyHermit]

The Marine Tauren is just another Blizzard joke,it is something like Hydralisk for Warcraft.

And the graphics arent bad at all,they are the most hi-tech I ever saw,worthy for 2008.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Dawn of War has pretty amazing graphics for an RTS. I think Starcraft 2 is about the same except maybe a little more refined.

 

[Rui]

The graphics are OK, they don't look like they're going to take a heavy machine for running. I don't know much about the matter, though.

 

[redmarine]

The graphic looks sweet and cool. Have you noticed how gritty the terrans have become? They look even more cool now than they did on the announcement day! Also btw is the graphic settings on high? I think Karune said on one thread that it wasn't on the highest though I could be wrong.

 

[Drake]

It look's great, i just wonder if my PC can run it. But i have a little question what the heck is that ''new'' zerg unit that is near the Overmind ?

 

[Oziris]

Becous of the screen shots i am gona play Starcraft when it comes out!!!!

 

[Kwah]

Epic!

That looks so epic. . .


We all love SC2.

 

[Xarwin]

Looking good,
however I'm pretty curious about the WE of starcraft 2.

It's called Scum Editor.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

The graphics aren't bad if you saw the space platform terrain, so many props and cool terrain (btw the twilight looks very nice), but it is a bit more cartoony than necessary. Hopefully the cool FXs will compensate this. And I'm tired of waiting, they didn't make anything not for the end of 2007 but also for 2/3 of 2008. They can at least release smth like the roc beta (with the human castle main menu) in the fall.

Hope they will release an open beta anytime soon though. I'm also tired of waiting.

The SC2 editor is supposed to be O.K, no?

A none believer! Kill him!

 

[Kwah]

Lol,

I talked to PurplePoot about it and I think that he thinks that it is going to be O.K too.

One of the issues is that it is going to take a while for custom models to reach the quiality of that of the SC2 ones.

About the screen shots I agree that the Zerg Gore was definiatly toned down some. I kind of like it this way. Before it was just too much. It was rather annoying that whenever you killed one Zergling there was nasty stuff staining up your nice Terran controlled ground.

Hehe I was just joking lol. I think General Frank and EvilIllidanX will do pretty well at making models for StarCraft II.

 

[Kwah]

Meh, true but that is only two people.

There are not very many model makers of that high caliber. And they can only make models so fast.

This means that when it first comes out that there will be a delay before there are many good models.

It is likely that all of the early mods will use the original Starcraft models or low quality ones (Like in the screen shots).

So take a close look people you are likely to be seeing those for a while.

im sure we gonna see them in the model topic here later

 

[LSI.Foley]

I wonder how imported models will work with the physics engine.

 

[redmarine]

That is a valid question. Perhaps the engine will cut/brake the model for us?

 

[NearbyHermit]

It is said that the editor will be exact like Starcraft 1

Well then begone! Blizzard Entertainment has stated that the Editor will be powerful and we've all made great suggestions on how to improve it. Instead of making fancy spells with Jass you can now do that in the object editor!

 

[NearbyHermit]

Powerfull as in supports those great graphics.

Lol... Where have you been since the release date of StarCraft II? You know it ain't that weak.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I know ,I've been looking everyday for updates
