This new StarCraft II trailer that just debuted in Korea gives a first look at the Zerg alien race. Great looking trailer! Just checked the news, and no, South Korea hasn't imploded. Yet.
Holy crapppp!! That was amazing! Was kerrigan in there at all, I wonder if she went through any transformation.
Hey btw if anyone can post about any good books expanding upon the story that would be great! I love the mass effect book, so I'm definitely up for checking out some good books for Starcraft.
Well I guess now we kind of know why the Zerg didn't simply wipe out the remaining forces at the end of Brood Wars. Hope a direct feed video comes out soon.
Hope the requirements aren't too high for this game. I have faith in blizzard though, one of their strongest abilities has been to let all their games run on fairly minimal requirements.
@Witzbold: yeah, once you became elite and knew how to constantly max out your units, the max cap was troublesome. but if we were to allow that many?? pure insanity will ensue
OH MY GOD FINALLY
i've been waiting forever to see anything SCII zerg related dammit.
the only reason i even played SC was for the almighty Zerg.
god, i've been so blah on the whole SCII thing checking out units from the terran and protoss races thinking "oh, thats neat" or "hey thats nifty"
@pok514: Starcraft has 5 books. Starcraft: queen of blades is the story of Kerrigan. Starcraft Ghost: Nova is the back story of nova from the console game they were going to release. then there is a three book series of the starcraft world. There is also an eBook about Kerrigan's origin. you can see the list on Blizzard's site and I'm sure you can buy them at any book store.
@kw4k: Actually, I think that was the Queen (unit) speaking, and not Kerrigan. Doesn't quite sound like her, and the Q&A mentions that Kerrigan will be in the game, but hasn't been shown yet.. which seems to imply that the voice isn't hers.
Hopefully none of my friends will want this so I can stick to Company of Heroes, but the second one of them drags me to BestBuy on launch day, boom! Life's over and I gain weight on cheetoes and Mountain Dew again.
too many units... art and presentation A+++ as usual Blizzard. Its amazing what kind of entertainment you can produce with soo much money. Wish EA could learn from this.
zerg rush ftw. It almost looks like they have a lot of this game done. Could we possibly get a release this summer? I'll be happy with christmas, but in reality I'll probably get it this time next year.
When ever more info on SC:II is released its like the world around me disappears. I kid you not, my house could have just exploded, as long as my screen kept playing I would have had no idea.
...Fanboyism and silly comments aside, I hope to see this trailer on Blizzard site for hd download soon.
I just don´t get it why they don´t release the trailer online worldwide when first showing it, since everybody already knows it´s gonna appear on the same day wolrdwide anyways, but on a crappy webcam youtube no matter what they do.
Tbh the big thing for me on this game is the question if Korean pro league will adopt this game for its SC tournaments as a replacement for SC1. Unlike Counter Strike Source which wasnt such a big hit for pro league gamers that already played 1.6.
Incidentally, I loved the smattering of applause at the end, like they were less than thrilled. Seriously, though... it's probably too much to hope for a simultaneous Mac release. Even though back in the day they popped out the hybrid discs for Warcraft and such. C'mon Blizzard... pull through for the Mac community on launch day (in ten years)!
@Pornosaur: next year most likely since at the next blizzcon they said you can get a beta key to a new blizz game which I can only imagine is SC2. But knowing Blizz we will see it some time 2010

Am I an honorary Korean for wanting this game?
That trailer was so epic it made 300 look like a comedy.
Very nice graphics, and the game looks fun as hell.
@NeoAkira: 300 wasn't a comedy??? o_o
Damnit. Just when i thought nothing could get me back into PC gaming... blargh.
At least it will run on my mac.
Zergling rush! Kekekekeke
Best part about that was the crowd's reaction, pure gold.
That first shot of the zerglings rushing the colossi is spectacular. If actually gameplay can capture that level of "epic"...
Ahem, it's only proper that we...
....
OH GOD KEKEKEKKEEKEKEKEEKEEKKEKEEKEEKEKEEKKEKEKEKE ZERG RUSH!
...
I'm better now, honest.
Holy crapppp!! That was amazing! Was kerrigan in there at all, I wonder if she went through any transformation.

Thanks!
Sick nasty trailer!!!
*hydralisk noise*
That looked rather insane.
I wonder if the game will really allow for that many zerg units on the screen at once?
If so we are all screwed.
Looks like they got the visual style of a swarm down for the Zerg. Excellent.
Well I guess now we kind of know why the Zerg didn't simply wipe out the remaining forces at the end of Brood Wars. Hope a direct feed video comes out soon.
omg omg omg omg omg can't fucking wait anymore. Most anticipated game ever.
If only my pc could run this game..... :'(
........EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope the requirements aren't too high for this game. I have faith in blizzard though, one of their strongest abilities has been to let all their games run on fairly minimal requirements.
It will be mine. Oh yes, It will be mine.
now i'm a korean and probably the only one who hasn't played Starcraft...
what WAS the big deal with this game and Koreans???
personally i prefer C&C Generals and C&C 3 for RTS but this new game looks pretty damm good...
i'll try it out just to say i'm a Korean gamer and i played Starcraft, dammit!!
MANLY TEARS OF JOY T~T
@pok514: i believe she was the one narrating in the trailer.
I am So Excited For This! out of all the high profile titles, this is my #1 f'sure!
@Witzbold: I was thinking the EXACT same thing.
O_o
!!!!!!
o_O
!!!!!!
I wAnTz!!!
HOLY FUCK
@icepick314: You are one of the only people I've ever heard of even on the INTERNET not to have played Starcraft. Epic game it is.
@Witzbold: yeah, once you became elite and knew how to constantly max out your units, the max cap was troublesome. but if we were to allow that many?? pure insanity will ensue
I was hoping for something more epic but... it fell deaf on my ears... Its like ya ya ya you're the swarm so you evolved so what? *shrugs*

FINALLY MORE ZERG
how about now? did they implode yet?

@Cucco:
Still waiting.
i'm hoping for a more high quality update soon. seeing this again and again in hi-def would make it all the more epic!
We need more vespian gas!
@kw4k: Actually, I think that was the Queen (unit) speaking, and not Kerrigan. Doesn't quite sound like her, and the Q&A mentions that Kerrigan will be in the game, but hasn't been shown yet.. which seems to imply that the voice isn't hers.
My God, it actually brings meaning to the term "swarm". I always played zerg. Looks like I get to again.
Speaking of such, were IS Kerrigan?
looks epic, too bad i suck at fast paced rts games
The Ultralisk are my fav zerg unit, too bad they can't attack flying units :(
We ripped off the tyranids.
Hopefully none of my friends will want this so I can stick to Company of Heroes, but the second one of them drags me to BestBuy on launch day, boom! Life's over and I gain weight on cheetoes and Mountain Dew again.
O_O..............................................
STARCRAFT 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn. It was more epic than i thought it would be..
too many units... art and presentation A+++ as usual Blizzard. Its amazing what kind of entertainment you can produce with soo much money. Wish EA could learn from this.
Hope they release the trailer for download soon a the SC2 site...
meh
those were the most well spent 2 minutes of my friggin life....
@SAGA: agreed.. but you can't deny that starcraft and fanatic seem to be born for each other... even if I can't understand it.
SC2 is looking better and better. Burrowing Ultralisks wow, just wow!
zerg rush ftw. It almost looks like they have a lot of this game done. Could we possibly get a release this summer? I'll be happy with christmas, but in reality I'll probably get it this time next year.
Cool trailer, but way to not show us anything new. Everything in here's old news.
Are you STILL touching me?
Don't you have a kingdom to run?
"Join the army!" they said...
"See the world!" they said...
I'd rather be sailing...
Was the voice supposed to be Kerrigan? Does anyone know if they have the same voice actors for starcraft 2?
When ever more info on SC:II is released its like the world around me disappears. I kid you not, my house could have just exploded, as long as my screen kept playing I would have had no idea.
This game will ruin my life with awesome. O_O
That is live footage of south Koreans coming up out of the ground from back in June when starcraft 2 was announced... This isnt a new trailer.
...Fanboyism and silly comments aside, I hope to see this trailer on Blizzard site for hd download soon.
I just don´t get it why they don´t release the trailer online worldwide when first showing it, since everybody already knows it´s gonna appear on the same day wolrdwide anyways, but on a crappy webcam youtube no matter what they do.

@Trickmil: I imagine they would, the characters are mostly voiced by Blizzard employees.
how will they prevent 8 player all zerg lagasms? extremely low poly zerg units?
Feeeeecckk.
@slikz21: Well then make me number 2 because I have not played Starcraft either.
"We are Borg. I mean Zerg"
That's all I heard the whole time. :P
Incidentally, I loved the smattering of applause at the end, like they were less than thrilled. Seriously, though... it's probably too much to hope for a simultaneous Mac release. Even though back in the day they popped out the hybrid discs for Warcraft and such. C'mon Blizzard... pull through for the Mac community on launch day (in ten years)!
That had all the cheese of C&C, but with none of the tongue-in-cheek humour. LAAAAME.
But that's just talking about the story/script etc. I don't doubt the actual gameplay will be great.
I'm horrible at Starcraft because it's just too fast for me, although I'm pretty good at WC3.
I'll still be getting and and I'll be thankful I can run it natively in OS X instead of having to swap to Windows.
Second Starcraft so super sexy. Seriously.
Never played starcraft and I don't much care for RTS... but this might break me
@Pornosaur: next year most likely since at the next blizzcon they said you can get a beta key to a new blizz game which I can only imagine is SC2. But knowing Blizz we will see it some time 2010
@Witzbold: I don't think blizz mentioned anything about a pop cap raise so I'm not really sure.
