StarCraft, Nothing But StarCraft

Posted by Zonk on from the power-overwhelming dept.

Now that the news has been out for a few days and game journalists have had a chance to chat with the folks at Blizzard, there are a number of new stories detailing parts of the StarCraft II world. A massive press briefing about the game fills in a few more details on the game; only three factions, no new races, the game is built with competitive play in mind, and will run on both XP and Vista. For more nitty-gritty elements, the company held panel discussions on the art design and gameplay elements of the upcoming game. Video from the event is now widely available as well; check out the official trailer, some example gameplay, or the epic 22-minute long developer walkthrough.

    will run on both XP and Vista Wow, both XP _and_ Vista? It's a good thing it was built with cross platform compatibility in mind.

    I guess that means no Linux or OSX version.

    Mac will be supported.

    Linux won't be because A) nobody who buys games uses Linux anymore, and B) Linux users are all software pirates. At least that seems to be the common perception.

    Serious question: What was the last title to ship with NATIVE Linux support. (Not hacked together WINE support.)

  3. Blizzard failed. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    lame,unoriginal rip-off of project revolution with physics effects.
    I bet its would lag too.Havok engine is pretty resource heavy.
    I'm not even bothering to get a pirated copy.

    As someone just recently starting to dabble in Mac-land

    Just a tip: use lots of lube. Popping your ass cherry can be painful, have your boyfriend start off with just a finger and work up from there.
