The
cover story of the latest PC Gamer is all about Starcraft II. The feature
highlights the development process and decision-making and shows an ample amount
of Protoss units, including old-hats such as the Reavers, Templars and Archons.
Other tidbits:
- Hero units will not be as important or require as much management as they did
in Warcraft III.
- The current plan is to keep the unit cap at 200. In terms of unit higlighting,
the development team is testing the option to let you select an unlimited of
units at the same time.
- Blizzard consulted with top competitive SC and WCIII players from Korea for
the balance and design process.
- The ideal SCII match will last less than 20 minutes.
- No decisions have been made as to minimum system requirements, but Blizzard
has always made games for a wide range of computers. The team did note that a -
Shader Model 2.0-compatible graphics card will be required. (That's GeForce FX,
Radeon 9000 or better, PC Gamer reports.)
In related news, Blizzard
has announced that the real time strategy game/cash printing machine
StarCraft II will be
playable for attendees of
BlizzCon 2007. The official site promises that conventioneers will have the
chance to "sample the new units and gameplay elements for themselves in
multiplayer battles." |
