Blizzard Said it would not. When Wc3 came out it only required Direct 8.0 and 9.0C was out. Blizzard games are always 3-5 years behind in 3d graphics.

It doesn't, it's XP or Vista, 100% compatible with both. This is the 100th time I've heard someone worrying about this. Not an issue, read the FAQ if you don't believe me.

October target baby.

But it will probably slip, hopefully we'll still see it in 2007.

i would love for a 2007 ship date, that would be ZOMG-WTFantastic, but i don't think it'll happen. i imagine they had like.. 5 guys start SC2 while everyone else worked on WoW. but i'm insanely excited for SC2 and i can't wait to see what blizzard has in store for the terrans and zerg!

i think you two have too much faith in blizzard. how long was the original SC delayed? like 2 years? 😛

i predict an operation CWAL 2 😀

i didn't even know SC1 was delayed 😱 by the time i had heard about it, circuit city had it on backorder 🙁

but hey, here's to hoping :beer: 😀

IIRC, Starcraft was delayed somethin like 2-3 years. Blizzard delays all their games ridiculously. Some people were sick and tired of waiting and started Operation CWAL (Cant Wait Any Longer). If you've played SC1 you know that Blizzard actually included these guys in their game by making operation CWAL a code in teh game, fittingly making things build faster. 😛

Can Blizzard top itself with 'StarCraft II?'
Rob Pardo talks about long development cycles ? and keeping secrets

By Kristin Kalning

Updated: 1:18 a.m. ET May 31, 2007

In a Q&A session, I talked to Bizzard?s vice president of game design, Rob Pardo, about the company?s long development processes, how to keep teams motivated (hint: champagne parties and record-shattering sales), courting casual players and what fans can expect from "StarCraft II."

Speaking of secrets, what is your timeline for release for ?StarCraft II??

It?s a secret! I can give you the old Blizzard mantra of: ?It?ll ship when it?s ready,? but it?s something that historically, we?ve learned to keep release dates really close to the vest. I think all game developers are extremely optimistic, and we used to give optimistic dates and we?d disappoint our fans when we didn?t hit them. So now, I think we?ve just gotten more gun shy. The only thing I can give you [that?s] concrete is it?s not going to be this year. Some people were hoping, because of how advanced the game looks, that we?d have it out by Christmas, but that?s definitely not happening.

Huh... I didn't know that little tidbit. I knew the cheat, but didn't think there was a story behind it 😛

That was actually built on the WarCraft II engine, but with new content obviously.
It was presented at E3(I think, might have been some other trade show...) and needless to say, it didn't exactly get a very warm reception, so Blizzard pretty much scrapped everything and started over 🙂

Ever played the WarCraft II alpha where you had stone as a resource as well?
Blizzard alphas are fun, because they're always so WAY off the final product for some reason. 🙂

Why would you call it a piece of crap, because you have to know some hotkeys? Wow, it's so hard to memorize Z for zergling, H for hydralisk, M for mutalisk, etc...

And whoever pushes the buttons faster determines the winner? That's like saying "Whoever has the best aim wins at FPS games... The FPS genre is doomed this way.

I can understand people not liking the RTS genre, but calling SC2 a piece of crap is way out of line. Plus, you don't even know much about this game, so how can you judge it?
