The in game cutscenes look great. Huge leap in storytelling for an RTS, with fully fleshed out environments and character models. No more zooming in on low polygon units while watching their character portraits talk!

I'm more of a fan of the multiplayer, but seeing how much resources and assets Blizzard put into the single player, I'm actually excited to play the campaign!

This is a bloody game?? I mean I know it is, I had it on preorder months ago and I've been tooling around the beta since then but still... I know blizz has always done kick ass CG work but I've never accused them of being able to tell the story very well (even if they have been good stories). My anticipation factor just kicked up a few notches.

My memory might be fuzzy but wasn't Kerrigan a brunette?

Only took you 12 years Blizzard, you big tease. I feel like an ex-con going home to my face-lifted girlfriend.

Aaannnnd now it's time to start shopping around for a computer upgrade. I'm going to want to play this.

That's what Raynor looks like now? He looks more like a beat-up Mengsk.
Kerrigan on the other hand... sooo hot.

Looks SOOO F'n Good. The problem is I watched this and started wishing it was a first person shooter, or something other than a RTS, I've soured on the genre lately.

YAY! Blizzard!!!

You have to admit, a fully FMV trailer for an RTS is pretty misleading.

Excuse me, while I clean the spooge off my screen.

Looks interesting. Wanna play the game before I pass judgement. Better be damn good if it wants to knock SupCom off the RTS podium.

That looks so amazing! I got chills watching that. Next week can't come fast enough.

I'm excited to see what kind of story-line Blizzard came up with for this. 12 years of development, and they left a few holes needing to be filled after BroodWar.

This is going to be awesome.

If there is a podium for RTS, the reigning king for the past 12 years is Brood War. And no game, including Starcraft II, is going to topple that for a while.

You don't get this with SupCom:

I respectfully disagree. I loved starcraft, and it's expansions, but I like SupCom better. Korea is alot of things - it isn't the standard by which I measure quality.>> ^mentality:

I also don't use Korea as a standard measure of quality. I use the fact that only Starcraft has enough depth and balance to have a wildly successful professional scene 12 years after release. It is also one of a handful of games that have transcended into popular culture.

Nothing else comes close, not Warcraft, not SupCom, and not one of Relic's finely crafted RTSes. Starcraft II may take the throne one day, but not until it gets 2 expansions and years of fine tuning.

But of course, you are free to subjectively prefer any game you wish.

Well thanks.>> ^mentality:
