The fuels of war begin again.

It's nice that they were able to keep Arcturus' original voice actor. Shame that they couldn't for Kerrigan and Raynor though. I really liked their original voice actors.
Confederacy - July 22, 2010 03:12 AM (GMT)
Robert Clotworthy is reprising his role as Raynor. It's a shame that Glynnis Talken Campbell isn't returning for Kerrigan, but it seems like Tricia Helfer will do a good job with Kerrigan.
Kind of makes me wish Tassadar and Fenix never died. Would have loved to see them this CGI glory. Then again, we might have "flashback" scenes for the Zerg and Protoss cutscenes.
Also, this isn't new news, but I forgot to mention it. Blizzard has stated it is possible that Heart of the Swarm could take up to 18 months to develop.

Ugh, Those Dicks, Eh, Will Be good either way.
Looking forward to SC2, Heading to a Midnight Launch that seems pretty big, Cant wait. But as soon as i get my copy I'm leaving, I couldn't care less for the partying at the launch.
5 days on my end, Hoorah. Cant wait to unbox my Collectors.

Really? Wow, well he sure sounds different then. Nothing like the first game. XD I guess it works though, he's got older, and the new installment takes place several more years in the future.
I am pumped for this game. The campaign looks 10x more exciting than the first game's and I can't wait to dive into its story.
EDIT: Just listened to his voice more closely; yeah it's definitely still him.

Should I go to target when they open to get the collectors, or shud I go to gamestop and get my guaranteed copy?!?!?
I'm probably going to go to target when they open, if they don't have SC2 collectors I will go to gamestop and get my normal copy. :ph34r:

All the collectors have been sold out here for a while. I have never seen australia so hyped for a RTS before. Most of the time they get hyped over a new call of duty game, or some sort of shitty FPS.
God i hate this country.

It's the same story in the US.
Lintire - July 22, 2010 07:15 AM (GMT)
I played the tutorial level for Starcraft 1. Not the expansion or anything. There was something about Firebugs, and Zerg Grunts, and yeah.
I fail, but I don't usually get hyped for something anyway (Mass Effect 2 was an exception, goddamit!).
Confederacy - July 22, 2010 01:01 PM (GMT)
I have no clue what you are talking about Lint. Also found this:

| Such is the scale of Wings of Liberty's storyline that Chris Metzen believes that it would take at least three novels to tell it were it in written form, though nine would be the preferred number. He considers the ending of the game to be one of his favorite moments out of all the work he's done at Blizzard Entertainment. |
Shit is about to get wild now. This wait cannot go any faster.
Drizen - July 22, 2010 07:24 PM (GMT)
In other words, the game is going to be so massively epic that your eyeballs will explode from their sockets and you will be recoiling from the psychedelic ecstasy that your mind will be experiencing.
Confederacy - July 22, 2010 07:52 PM (GMT)
No doubt. I can't wait for Monday night.

With the map editor, you can make custom third person shooter games, or RPG's.
Drizen - July 22, 2010 10:29 PM (GMT)
Notice the custom targeting interface too. You will be able to upload your own custom 3D models and 2D GUIs. It's really gone beyond just a simple map editor anymore; it's a full-fledged sci-fi game design tool.

There was even a map testing a Final Fantasy battle system.

$10 says at the end Samir Duran is going to show up with the Zerg/Toss hybrids and suddenly everyone iz lyk
Raynor: WTF!!!11
Mengsk: IT'S A TRAP!
Findlay: Quick! Get to da choppah!
Kerrigan: Om nom nom...
And thus sets the stage for the first expansion. Damn man, Blizzard should just hire me for their story writing...

That is some kickass dialogue, Get a job there man
Confederacy - July 23, 2010 04:02 AM (GMT)
One of the Public Relations guys stated that the Zerg/Toss hybrids would be dealt with in the campaign. And there are portraits of them.
I'd hire you. Without paying you though.
EDIT: Also, Artanis

'Nuff said. :lol:

They encourage to go riot with their systems? That's pretty badass.
Loled at Medusa Jr., too.
Luna - July 26, 2010 08:16 AM (GMT)
If only the game was really playable through LAN ..
I would honestly prefer not to play online for personal reasons. I was really looking foward to playing this as well, since I've seen several videos turning the so-called Map Editor into Touhou clones, as well as full-fledged games ..
Emerald - July 26, 2010 01:11 PM (GMT)
Just pulled up outside kings square in brissy, going to go inside the centre to start waiting for my copy of SC2. Mass amounts of people going in already. But enough chatter, I brought my laptop so i could install it on the trip back and i need all the battery i can get.
Happy starcraft 2 day everybody
MM10X - July 26, 2010 01:40 PM (GMT)
OH MY FUCKING GOD ITS TOMORROW !!! TOMORROW!! OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG :insane::insane::insane::insane::insane::insane::insane::insane::insane::insane::insane:
Going to go pick up my copy at midnight, after work. :dance:
Confederacy - July 26, 2010 02:10 PM (GMT)
I'm heading up to Gamestop at 9:30 since I don't want to be caught with the boredom.

Apparantly the line starts forming at 10:00 tonight at gamestop... Thats what I heard at least.
Confederacy - July 26, 2010 02:29 PM (GMT)
Haha, yeah. I got a call from Gamestop yesterday telling me that transactions and what not start at 10, so I would just have to wait for 2 hours before I get my greasy hands on both copies, which is fine with me. Too bad they couldn't just start selling them at 10, you know? I got things to do...like install StarCraft 2. And play it.
Emerald - July 26, 2010 02:39 PM (GMT)
I know this is gonna annoy some people, But i havent said it, not on a youtube thing or anything.
but. FIRST BIATCH!

I get to drive on a fucking awesome back road to get to the mall where the gamestop is.
Shadow - July 26, 2010 06:44 PM (GMT)
Next time a big release like this happens I'm setting up a fucking lemonade stand at the nearest GameStop. I'd make tons.

Less than 12 hours!! I cannot wait!
Yip - July 26, 2010 08:56 PM (GMT)
Australia and Asia's had it for a few hours now. Where is your god now? I suppose I have no intention or inclination to play this myself, mostly because my computer has a 0% chance of being able to run it. Even if it did, I would still torrent it rather than buy it. I guess I'm just a bad person.

Your argument is invalid.
Confederacy - July 27, 2010 12:55 AM (GMT)
Only 4 hours left. Oh, and Yip. Fuck everyone else's time, this is the true Tuesday that is coming up.
Drizen - July 27, 2010 01:41 AM (GMT)
I may not be able to get it at midnight, but I'll definitely have it by tomorrow morning. If GameStop is the only store open at midnight for the release, I'll probably have to wait if I want a shot at getting a Collector's Edition.
Confederacy - July 27, 2010 01:56 AM (GMT)
I received an email from Blizzard saying that Best Buy and Walmart were having midnight releases. But you might want to call them first.
Drizen - July 27, 2010 02:07 AM (GMT)
Naw no matter what I'm going to be cruising around town at midnight to find a store that sells the Collector's Edition (and not just on reserve, unlike GameStop). So, I'm just going to stop at every place until I find one.

This sounds smart, but I'm too damn hyped for the game. I just wanna play even if I miss out of the collectors epicness.
/tear. Maybe gamestop will get in extra copies.
4 hours 40 minutes left until the game launches here.

They won't. It was the same thing with Mass Effect 2. I tried to get a copy of the Collector's, but they only do pre-orders on those. Once pre-orders are sold out, they don't have any extras.
Seriously, just shop around Target, Walmart, etc. Most people don't think to check those places for a Collector's Edition on the shelf when often times they're sitting right there.
