Starcraft 2 Details


Blizzard have released some interesting new details about Starcraft 2 at Blizzcon. Starcraft 2 will be going back to its roots to find its gameplay style, but Blizzard says it's a completely new game in its own.

The biggest announcement they made about the game is that it will be not only 1 game, but split into a trilogy. Each part of the trilogy being about the size of the original game.

There will be new units and new buildings. It is still based on the same fast paced resource management and multitasking gameplay mechanics but much more in depth and improved. Blizzard has also stated that there won't be as much single unit micro-management and things of that nature as it slows down the gameplay.

Starcraft 2 is still in development and is not near completion but an early demo was prepared for the fans at Blizzcon.

Jim Raynor is returning as the central character of the Terran campaign. Still his drunken bitter self. Players have complete control over how they spend their money. Which units to buy or upgrade is up to you. Players will also have the choice of which missions to do or what planets to explore.
