http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/714595/starcraft-universe-raid-trailer-rebirth-of-the-starcraft-mmo-nugget-from-the-net/:
"StarCraft Universe" is the rebirth of the StarCraft 2 MMO mod "World of StarCraft" that took the collective StarCraft 2 and World of Warcraft communities by storm last January. Ryan "Creation" Winzen and his team have just released a new raid trailer for the SC2 mod and it is absolutely stunning. Shown in the video are things like character creation, spells, abilities, and epic raid environments. I don't want to spoil everything, but keep an eye out for the fight against the Mutalisks in the video, it's awesome.
What do you think of StarCraft Universe? Does this look like a mod you're interested in? According to Winzen, the mod won't see a full release until after the launch of StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, he said in an interview Pixelated Geek. On the bright side, we'll be able to test out the PvP before Blizzcon in October.
I personally used to play WoW a lot, quit a while ago and haven't looked back since, but this looks pretty interesting and fun.
|
When is this going to be done already? D:
Yay for Leah Jackson~
There's also a Warcraft III sort of mod coming out too, looks equally sick!
|
Excuse me if I'm incompetent, but I click on the link and it leads me to here.

Is it region blocked?
EDIT: The link works now. I don't know why it redirected me to wap.g4tv.com.

Looks pretty interesting - but they need to be careful they don't make it too much like WoW :/ (imo). Already I've seen a few abilities identical to it.
Other than that this looks freaking sweeeeeet
|
nahh i dont think that i will buy a mod to play pvp or to grind some stuff
pvp=D3
grind=ladder
but its a nice Project i hope he will have success with that.
|
If they can fix the awkward third person view movement, I'll probably play this map lots.
But from the maps with first/third person view, the movement controls have been too awkward, not playable at all 
Looks great though, I hope it will be as cool as it looks
|
Wow this mod looks too good to be true, I wonder when its going to be released!
Also if blizz release the LAN for Sc2 you wont have any playing this mod with your friends!
I'm soooo pumped for this mod! :D

Dude, it's your birthday! Nice ;D!

I wonder, will this be sold in the new map market?
|
Insane the amount of effort that goes in. That they can even create this is magic.

|
Been made only using the mpa editor, I am impressed.
|
This is really cool, can't believe something like this exsists! Good job!
|
Impressive, hope it's not to much of a grind

Very nice, but I hate a lot blur and EXTREMELY contrast picture at some moments (battle near Hybrid as example). very hard for eyes.
|
simply amazing, great job
|
Damn! Too fuckin awesome!
|
Wow. o_o This is awesome.
|
i am worried that it will have only a small amount of content like other sc2 rpgs
|
Holy shit that is so screwed up good done with that editor. Shit...
|
Is this going to kill SC2 just like WoW killed WC3?

they can always add content, WoW vanilla had only limited amount of content and then they brought the expansions up...
|
Looks great! I'd be fun to play when I'm tired of laddering
|
Another modder once spoke out that this guy is really talented at making stuff look god... who knows how the actual game will be :>

Looking forward to it

Its going to be a custom map in the custom games section so no, no monthly subscription .

well maybe in cooperation with blizzard where they get a share. activision will do anything for money. i hope i'm wrong because it looks very good and "polished".

Maybe, but it was a full game from the beginning, and they had the money to work on it.

When the market place finally gets released you may have to purchase the map/mod, but I don't think anyone is allowed by Blizzard to take monthly fees.

I was wondering what happened to it. Glad to see it's almost done. Looks good too.
|
Very impressive that a small team put that together, but...
Where's the RTS aspect of it? Where is the fighting over land for resource control over a vital chokepoint. I'm hoping if Blizzard does do a Starcraft MMO, it isn't just WoW set in space. I want to see something different. Where I fight RTS battles and not one on one.

Looks awesome! Blizzard should hire his team and fund them so that they can make it even better.

Link please? I hope your not talking about HoS which has taken 10+ years to make.

Wow... just wow... incredible stuff

Something unique/different would probably prove far too complicated or "boring" for the average WoW userbase

This mod looks awesome, even if it isn't coming out til HotS. I never got into WoW because all the graphical animations for spells and abilities look like shit and pack no oomph(and because I have a life), + Show Spoiler +Seriously though, WoW looks f*cking awful with its animations. The rest of the graphics are adequate, but shooting a terrible looking colored beam just isn't satisfying because it looks like you are attacking someone with something as insubstantial as what a rainbow looks in real life; airy, translucent, and utterly incapable of even nudging a pebble.
The art design on the character models have a good amount of detail even though they are low res, and the animation for various abilities and attacks looks really impressive, the fire/lava, acid, and especially the lightning animations look really good. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
Though it's kinda weird that the queens look bigger than ultralisks....

Considering the game seems like its modeled after WoW (or rather similar to it) and what is seen in the video is mostly the "raiding" aspect of it, yeah, you can say the RTS aspect of it is missing. They have said that PvP will be implement. As to whether it is gonna be "BG" or "Arena", or both, we dont know.

Looks amazing, better than WoW....hopefully we can see some Zerg classes sometime in the future ^^

WoW indeed

I am most curious to see if/how your characters are consistent or is it reset every time you play
|
Don't care to play it at all, but fucking hell, that's an impressive piece of work to marvel at. Very well done.
|
Just curious... is the elephant in the room addressed? Meaning, input delay that has plagued every SC2 map/mod that utilizes input controls. Not to hate on their very impressive work, but input delay seems to be the key factor in making otherwise awesome games not fun. Perhaps it's just not as noticeable in an RPG game.

I don't know why he would make it if it didn't save from game to game. The amount of work put into this mod is just mind boggling. Good job.
|
If Wizen said that it wont be released until after Heart of the Swarm, and the video says that the mod is exclusively for Wings of Liberty, I feel like that's a potential loss of a lot of players?

To be honest, they look really cool in a 3-minute trailer, but they're going to be really hard to deal with for hours on end. It's nearly impossible to tell what's going on in those boss fights - the lighting effects are out of control.
At the end of the day, control and gameplay balance will determine if it becomes popular, along with the ability of the developers to put out fresh content on a regular basis.

i dont evne like wow but this looks pretty nice
|
the pay to play marketplace mods were a great idea. yeah it sucks u have to pay, but you will pay for quality projects that legit people make. it also gives these mapmakers more money and more incentive to compete in the market and make big bucks by making something great. nice move blizz.
|
So...is Blizzard going to allow this? I imagine there are going to be a ton of issues with these developers "copying" WoW (i.e. if certain aspects of the game were carbon copies of how wow played). Would Blizzard want their name attached to this? If average joe gamer hears about "the new Starcraft MMO" (a game he thinks was made by Blizzard) and it sucks, there's no way in hell blizz would want to be associated with it. A developer making something like Dota is one thing, but an entire MMO? The genre Blizzard now dominates? I have a hard time seeing this all pan out.
|
This is amazing, I can't wait to try it out. Props to the development team and Blizzard for making an amazing map editor.
|
This game is more a dungeon from mmo than full mmo.

You need to play World of Warcraft then ^^

The trailer looks very promising.
I think this shows which insane kind of things you can do with the editor.
