I didn't hear that SC2 would be released on any consoles... is it going to be?![]()

EDIT: From the SC2 FAQ
Will StarCraft II take advantage of DirectX 10? What other graphical goodies are included?
The game will be compatible with DirectX 10, and we're still considering whether there will be exclusive DirectX 10 graphic effects, but the graphics engine will also be very scalable to ensure that a wide range of different systems will be capable of running StarCraft II. The new engine is also capable of rendering very large units, as well as large numbers of units on screen together. Havok physics have been integrated into the engine for added realism as well.

i'm going to try something here...
so why exactly is SC2 going to be the game of the century? SC wasn't that fun imo.

Have to agree with Pontifex, just because a game has sold mass quantities doesn't make it automatically good, just that it appeals to a wide audience and that audience managed to all learn about the game.

Wow, will we be able to drag and drop the unit limit of XX individuals, then proceed to right click them onto enemy units again soon!? Honestly, there is nothing wrong with this formula, but to say it's game of the century is retarded...

Sure. I call it the Steven Spielberg Rule; however, I still think that you'd be hard-pressed to argue that Starcraft wasn't a very good game.

Reality is perception. Two people can look at the same 'object/situation/concept' and have entirely different, oftentimes opposing views of its nature/purpose/value.
One man's pain can be another man's pleasure, treasure or trash, etc. Everything, and I do mean everything, is subjective in life. The only absolute is there are no absolutes.

Very well said. If there is one thing I can't stand about SC, its not the game itself, but people who try to force their opinion as an absolute truth.
No offense tenshodo, but storyline and the quotes you posted are all subjective. As much as I loved carriers in SC, that alone doesn't make it a good game. The gameplay really ends up being subjective as well. Plus you kind of contradict yourself, saying that micro weeds out people who don't want to learn, but its simple to pick up. I think it would be more correct to say micro weeds out the good from bad players.

Starcraft is one of the best games ever for several reasons
Engaging Storyline
Great Lines " I'm the Queen Bitch of the Universe"
Best Balancing Ever
Units are actually useful- All Units have a purpose
Great Gameplay- Strategies are prevalent, Micro weeds out players who don't want to learn. Easy to Pick up, hard to master
"Carrier Has Arrived"- 'Nuff Said

That's all fine and dandy, but what does that have to Starcraft 2? Deus Ex had...
Engaging Storyline
Great Lines "That must make me one ugly son of a bitch."
Maybe not the best balancing ever, but most of the weapons and augmentations are pretty useful
Great Gameplay - A perfect blend of action, exploration, and role-playing
etc etc
Now just look at what happened to Deus Ex 2. Anyone who thinks Starcraft 2 will be the best game in a hundred years despite only a couple of trailers being released and knowledge on the game having been available for only a couple of months is simply a rabid Blizzard fanboy.
