Big Starcraft II media update

BlizzCon 2008 has finished and as expected lot of news and announcements were made. It happened a month ago but unfortunately I was too busy with work to write up a post. Finally, here it is.

 

Starcraft II Trilogy

Starcraft II will be shipped as trilogy instead of one big game. The reason for this decision is that if all story elements, cut scenes, interactive dialogue is bundled together it would be too big for a single product.  So, There will be 3 stand alone titles:

StarCraft 2 Terrans: Wings of Liberty

Protoss: Legacy of the Void

Zerg: Heart of the Swarm

 

In each of these we can expect from 26 to 30 missions. This and more was discussed in an interview with Bob Colayco.

Starcraft is one of the best RTS games and if you wonder how does Starcraft II feels in game play, check the article at Gamespot. In nutshell, here is a what's it is like:

it’s obvious the development team is keeping much of the old but also introducing new ways to convey aspects, including story and character development. Based on what we’ve seen so far, Starcraft II hits the nail right on the head and reboots the series like a well-timed Stim Pack release.

It's time to see some videos. First one is Zerg vs Terran.

If you want to believe rumors we may have a demo of Starcraft II early next year...
