The low quality of the models aside, I love the old style of the Terran buildings. It looks so much more like BW. Instead they changed it to the same style they have in WoW and WC3, which is much more comic-ish. I never understood Blizzard's obsession with making everything look like "cool" toys, at the cost of completely abandoning the original atmosphere, look and feel of their games. So sad.

i dont agreee with that.

BW"or the first build of sc2" looks so bulky and the proportion are weird
i like the sc2 style more

To the video its awesome to get such inside in to the development stages.

I find it especially interesting that in the first build of SC2 that they showed, the air units stacked up on top of each other in a BW-esque manner, as though they were 2D models (though it's hard to tell if that build was in full 3D or in a mix of pseudo-3D and 2D).

In retail SC2, air units clip into each other rather than stacking, so the first build was rather fascinating to look at.

That's why explicitly stated the above, to make sure that people won't fail to differentiate the two.

I think there are already vods on Youtube for parts of the panels. The multiplayer panel definitely has whole vods floating around.

As for the mapmaking/DotA panel, you can watch the entire presentation on Youtube:

The art and technology panel has yet to be uploaded in its entirety, though you can piece it together from the videos in this article:

Those rumors about the HD BW remake. The video on how SC2 used to look. They could use that for the HD BW remake, right? It actually looks pretty decent.

What do you mean by "rumored?" There's a third-party BW remake, but I doubt Blizz will ever make one.

That essentially means there have been 20k code submissions to their repository. When you consider that this is over the course of 4 years it's not that ridiculous.

Awesome. Those first few builds really made me feel like it must have been so much fun making this game.

So LAN does exist for SC2, they're just being lame about releasing it cause their greedy.


So you're saying it's fine to pirate games?


Not everyone who uses LAN is a pirate. Some legitimately use it. If Blizzard is so scared their sales will plummet if they release LAN for SC2, then they are just being a greedy corporation. Battle.net 2.0 is like StarCraft II's room, and Blizzard is the parent. They tell SC2 to get to their room and stay there, and it does.

In short B.net 2.0 is literally there to control it's playerbase, otherwise they had no real reason to remake the original.


Yes but what about the piraters. The point is this. You and he are saying Blizzard is being greedy for wanting money they deserve. If they are greedy, then they do not deserve their sales. One and only one of these can be true, you cannot have both or else you basically support pirating. Battle.net 2.0 is not going to stop any pirating if there's LAN, i don't see why you mentioned it.


SC2 as itself is fine, that's in no way being 'greedy'. It's the fact that they're scared to support their game, tournaments, and generally just normal players because of pirates. Most developers nowadays know their game, if it is on the PC, will be pirated. They don't necessarily exclude such a big feature as LAN because of it. Blizzard already gets enough money as it is anyways, even if their sales did drop, they could recover. The reason why I mentioned B.net 2.0 is because it's so closed off. You play by Blizzard's rules, even if they aren't accommodating in say, a tournament setting.


Once again you do not address my argument... once again you are saying they do not deserve their sales. This means that you support pirating.

Bnet 2.0 still doesn't have anything to do with this... if there is LAN, it means they do not have to use Bnet 2.0, which is what you want. And then there will be piraters. It doesn't justify breaking the law just because you're unhappy with the product.

I feel like I finally understand why the Hydralisk is so bad. For the entirety during the making of SC2, all they did was make Hydras shit on other units. End result = Nerf hydras to oblivion for release.

Thanks for posting this. I actually kind of liked the graphics in the first part of the video, it had a BW feel to it.
