But I've played HoN, and the graphics is not better than in Starcraft 2.I'm sorry cocosoft but if you compare units vs units (counting HoN's heroes as actual units), the animations, texturing and overall quality of the models are far superior to SC2. For instance the few firsts units in HoN were the disciple and magebane, contrast that with say the marine and the marauder and try to honestly sell me that they're designed/look better ? Your clone argument is illogic seeing as more than half of SC2 is a direct clone of the first one, only with a better engine so they didn't "pull much" either :-|. | ||

I argued that Physics is better in SC2 than in HoN, as it uses Havoc.Well, HoN isnt trying to be some graphical powerhouse. So thats a given. | ||

We don't know that. In fact, having worked in the games industry for the better part of the last decade, I know that developing single player content takes a lot of time, resources and ultimately, money. I think the decision to develop the game as a trilogy is beneficial for everyone. From our perspective, it means the first installment of the single player mode will probably be very polished, and it means we'll get two more brood war-type content additions in the future. Sounds good to me. From Blizzards perspective, it means a continuted stream of revenue for several years. So that means the only way this is bad for anyone is if you don't think the installments present enough value for money. But seriously, it's like what, 60 bucks? Pfft... | ||

I can see that happening cause they are homogenizing their playerbase for the games and services they offer by integrating facebook, cross game chat etc. A bunch of people bought that glitter pony. Aren't they already offering a mount for WoW I don't play WoW , but that thor thing isn't that some WoW item?? | ||

It's a third of the selling price of a SKYSCRAPER, meaning 100M can very well mean half its building value. There is just no way a game, no matter how good looking or innovative it is, costs this much. I can see this kind of money being shelled in super high-end software like Maya or 3dMax but definitely not a game (much less starcraft 2 which isn't really technologically impressive). For example Heroes of newerth, which has on-par if not better physics, more or less the same graphical quality and a MUCH better netcode cost approx 4 millions. They have been working for YEARS ON IT. Employee salaries and benefits. Equipment, etc. Do you realize how much payroll is for large companies? | ||
