Is there anymore information about FP View?

Is it true first person, where you can see the mouse and selection box?

Find out more later today! We'll be doing a live Q&A session at 5pm PDT.

Edit: I meant later today. I keep forgetting today is Monday now.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

They should answer on only one question "when beta will be available for download".

Thanks for posting that. Good interview, at least this guy seems to know what we expect out of Starcraft. I think for SCII we might actually get some support from Blizzard, hopefully.

Non-disclosure agreement where Blizzard basically told those who visited on Monday to not talk about what they saw until this Monday, today.

The video is really intense, I wish there was a lot more information released as most all of this is just updates on the current status, which wont really affect us later on down the road.

Was really hoping for new information are possible beta release, though it seems like it will be within the month. It seems like it definitely wont be this week at least.

I've made a condensate of what we can find on a very well done french website (photo of new models/the video/tech trees) + the article of sc2gg.com:

Seems like the campaign will feature a lot of stuff not found in skirmish, this bodes well for UMS!
They can choose the order of the missions, they can choose which units they want to upgrade. So if you love yourself some medics, hey I got a couple upgrades for you they would make them so powerful we'd never put them in multiplayer. We've got a couple upgrades in there--oh, did you want an eight-man bunker with three armor? Go you. Did you want a Hercules dropship that can carry three Thors into battle, and looks like it can? There's all kinds of crazy stuff that you only get through the solo campaign. I think it'll really rock 'em, but we'll see.

Dude. What the fuck do you expect when they tell us: "Hey! Come on over and we'll show you the new B.net and Single Player!" Then we show up and they go: "Oh gee well, we found this new bug in the B.net server so we don't want to show you it. Same goes for the Single Player. OH BUT LOOK! New Obs Mode!! Ohhh shiney!!"

I mean. I'm glad they showed us that because I am totally stoked for it but don't criticize us for giving lack of information when we were given nothing.


Then why the hell did they have a godamn NDA, jeez.


Wasn't the NDA supposed to allow all participants a chance to report on their findings? Rather than the ones who were lucky enough to get in on Monday posting up mass news articles, while the ones at the end of the week either a) getting everything ruined and/or b) not having a chance to post up news articles themselves. By delaying it a week all the sites were able to post up the news at the same time.

Anyway, this is all interesting stuff about the obs mode, but not really something I'm interested in. I hope there's an option to disable obs mode too, since the article seems to indicate that anyone joining can switch to obs if they want, and I don't necessarily want random people observing me if they're probably just going to tell my opponent what I'm doing.

No real new information? Rewindable replays? That's pretty huge.

Also I heard that they were supposed to see the new Battle.net and single player features in person, but Battle.net broke the day the reporters were supposed to go there. Too bad, really, but oh well, it happens.

Rewinding replays is definitely not new news

not to hijack thread, but from the US press conference you linked:

StarCraft 2 Replays:
A new feature called Bookmarks will be implemented into the replay functionality of StarCraft 2. There will be both standard and user customizable bookmark functionalities.

For example, there may be automatic bookmarks set at every 5 or 10 minute mark. This would allow the user to quick jump throughout the replay without have to spend time fast forwarding. Very similiar to the difference between DVD and Tapes.

With user customizable bookmarks, the replay author could set bookmarks at particular battles and other points of interest.
I'm sure I mentioned it as well after the blizzard HQ visit before blizzcon last year

They talked about it last Blizzcon regarding things they wanted to add to the game, but it was never confirmed before the visit, but yeah it is one week old. It was one of the few tidbits that slipped out before Blizzard enforced the NDA last week.

Just read that interview, it sounds so crazy, I'm not a Terran player but I'm looking forward to the campaign, it actually sounds exciting. I want to see the level where the lava rises every few minutes haha

I have no idea why they had us sign an NDA considering they didn't show us much. Maybe they didn't want the European and Korean sites to hear that Blizzard had nothing to show them and to still make them fly out to California?

woot, no new news? So am I the only one who didn't know about the FPView feature? (which in my opinion is way more awesome than rewind, if its real FPView)
Mh I really wonder how big the replay files are gonna be

Anyways, I liked the article
even all the points that were already known were imo better explained than elsewhere.

They have two reasons for the NDA.

1) NDA make the playing field fair for all the sites. So that those journalists that visit Blizzard last Monday doesn't have an advantage over those that did the visit two days later.

2) Blizzard's plan was to show and release much more of the game, but in the last minute they change the plans. Single player and Battle.net 2 reveal was put on hold.

From what I have heard Blizzard are going to invite people back in a couple of weeks, to release the information they planned to release last week but didn't.

So much sad article bashing. :/

Some of us don't hump the SC2 forums for updates so we can shout OLDDDD like a forum noob. Even if it was just a summary of the observer mode features, it was a great read. Thanks.
