Sounds like the developers were all on acid when they created that story cinematic. | ||

In regards to the Zeratul we just picked him because Artanis was dead and shit, who else ya gonna call comments: Don't tell me you're just now noticing the different "approach" to story telling in WoL. I'm one of those pricks that loves the original and BW campaigns to a fault but even someone who only played WoL then went back and played the original and expansion for the first time could say they definitely tried a different method or two for the plot in these games. Not to mention in the original they had something to prove in every single map and cutscene. Now I doubt that the same pressure is really there. Not that I doubt that they haven't tried very hard to make an epic story but it can't be the same. They are already established and have a set of tools to work with instead of crafting a new world and I don't know if anyone else noticed but the video game scene has changed pretty dramatically since 1998. | ||

It was $40 purchased directly from Blizzard (US), the collector's edition was probably $80. I'm sure HotS will also be $40, they can't justify more if it requires WoL. | ||

Here's the video interview from WP.org,something interesting that i did not read from the article here is David Kim talking about early T1 scouting for each race. Its at about 6:40 into the video. Oh and Artosis is apparently never going to become grandmaster:< | ||

Similar sentiments pop up every time a new game comes around from fans. I don't get these sort of people, why aren't they just playing Chess because all other tactics games don't do things better? I dunno, I thought the overall responce was really positive (especially considering what ususally happens in a TL news thread....) Blizz came across as quite frank and open in what they were saying, and generally fairly agreeable. One or two genuine concerns about innovation and marketing is quite modest (and not to mention constructive) - it's a million miles away from Flamewars II: The Return of the Troll. btw, shoudl have said earlier, thanks for the coverage TL!! Roll on BlizzCon | ||

 , still it looks awesome and I think it's nice, that the campaign is based more around the "hero)also that baneling army looked scary :D | ||

Story/lore wise, it's a little bit troubling that the Zerg now have internal politics since it just makes them alien people instead of The Swarm, and I swear to god those two missions are pulled out of WC3. Next missions Mal'Ganis is going to appear and trick Kerrigan into releasing a big dumb sword from some ice. The Q&A was good, though. | ||
