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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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  On October 24 2008 08:51 fusionsdf wrote: I'm sure I mentioned it as well after the blizzard HQ visit before blizzcon last yearnot 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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
