[klion3007]

The guy playin is a noob!

[XxElTriNiTariOxX]

i thought SC2 was to come out OCT.10th they moved it

[skarbone1]

Rumored release sometime in November. Before Christmas of course.

[Lykanthropos4]

They should have sent a poet!

Personally for me it's P > Z > T but Terrans really do have some nice looking animation. Nice colors and features, and that kinda bums me a little because they'll be the race that I won't be playing.

Thanks for the upload.

[felong1]

SWEET GRAPHICS

[CounselorX]

Good, guess I wasn't alone then lol.

[CounselorX]

I've always pronounced "zealot" as "zee-lot"......guess I was wrong.

[blacksept22]

i always did aswell

[Takanashiv2]

Yep, same.

[Jig55555]

Ditto, but now it sounds weird.

[AFGalwayz]

lol mee too. and then the news said bin laden was a zealot. but they pronounced it as zelit. i was lmao

[Wucky]

We all have our own ways of pronouncing the beloved unit. Didn't know Osama came from Aiur ;P

[AerialDeathFireStyle]

i see zee-lot as well lol sounds weird saying zea-lot

[scitri]

LOL ending is awesome

[Heinousness]

HAHAHAH WTF IS THAT AT THE END

[mdmayers]

It was a bit of footage from the anime voice acting contest later in the day that I thought I had cut off properly.

[SerenityRebel]

When is this game due to come out? iv been waiting for years! Can anybody reply to this message.

[Heinousness]

They haven't announced any release date yet. They aren't releasing it til' its more than done =)

Don't believe anyone that sayd when it comes out. Only way to honestly know, is when its posted on starcraft2 . com

[Jig55555]

Actually, I read that (This was said by Karune or Browder I believe) their target was sometime in 2008...Vague, yeah.

[AFGalwayz]

its gonna be released tomorrowz N00BBASKET!! lol j/k

[N00BSAUCE]

The guy playing the game is a maaaajor newbie.

That blizzard employee is Karune!

[CosmlnP6]

comon blizzard faster !!!!!!!!!! :((

[CityDancing]

lol i would be like shut up and let me play!

[mess0spl00x]

ahahahahahaha lmaoooooooooo rOFL

me too <3

[GilesArmstrong]

dam auto rally scv's to gather mineral. idk to love it or hate it.

[beatboyb]

hey man!! auto gather is one of the best things. It´s also in WC3 and it rocks! you dont have to worry about lazy scv´s that comes out the command center and do nothing until you order them to. AUTO GATHERING RULES!!

[slayer21893x]

dude, thank god we can finally target more then 12 people...and i think they should make it where if u click 1 type of guy some # of times, u target all of those kind of guys

[SilentGarden]

yeah its called double clicking its also in Starcraft One and Brood War.

[CommieHippie]

dude... dman don't say that.

I can't wait till this comes out...

THIS WILL COME OUT!

[chuckycol]

dude when sc2 is finish is gonna be insane, new strats and everything!, but hey have to talk whit the pros and check what they think

[Dmanislord]

Muahahahaha, they will cancel it, like Starcraft Ghost

[brandun69]

Iv watched a couple of these and i cant wait, its a must have. Im replaying the original right now. I cant believe how fast passed 2 is tho. Crazyness. Cant wait :D

[pharmacyiii]

Starcraft is a government conspiracy

I think

[leatherbadge96]

Haha. I'm looking forward to this game but they've made it so toonish- but one main thing strikes me... do you see that factory!? Wow do they make em' in fun size now or something? Looks more like a box rofl.

☼ But all SC2 screwups aside, SC D, and WC PWN 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☼

[mercenarybdu]

wait I recongnize a few features from the C&C games. So pretty much both teams have been bouncing ideas back and forth to make the game.

[leatherbadge96]

C&C has nothing on SC.

[mercenarybdu]

If you ever play generals+ZH you will notice a few things from SC1 that was put into that game and if you study the Banshee in SC2 really closely you will notice that they are ripping off of the Orca Fighter.

[mercenarybdu]

then keep in mind that although both games have absolutely nothing in common, all RTS games have at least bounced something features around to other games such as Sidebars and game play features.

[leatherbadge96]

Nothing in common? Lmao. First of all they're both the same flavor of RTS, minimap, commands, the works. Even the C&C troopers or whatever look exactly like marines! The only difference between the two is that C&C units come in groups, and the bad guys look incredibly retarded. Saying they have nothing in common betrays your fist post in its entirety.

[leatherbadge96]

In FACT, why I was so quick to play and beat C&C TW was because I've had years of Starcraft experience. ;) And I find that C&C is a half-assed copy of Starcraft, albeit higher in graphics (but that's bound to change), and did not enjoy it nearly as much as I have 2-dimensional SCBW. XD

[mercenarybdu]

I played a lot of the original RTS games before there was even a SC to be known. Hell I even have version 1.0 of SC and it couldn't compare to the original C&C (Tiberium Dawn to most fans nowadays) game where the decision making of where ya wanna go next in the missions were tough.

[mynameistoo]

Ever tried multiplayer? seriously no RTS game should be judged on its single player. And on multiplayer, yeah SCBW is the best.

[mercenarybdu]

I did for SC many times but the problems was that when the player took the sky early on it wasn't really that balanced as the one who did do so early on would end up winning most games without a single re-load cap like the C&C games did to players with fighters. So it would be like fighting against Gunships with the capability to wipe out all sorts of units in bulk even with the supply caps.

[mynameistoo]

im guessing u mean carriers and stuff? most games dont even reach that far, and even if they do it meant that person out macroing the other person by alot. To go carrier you have to have a good lead already or you die. So in the end he would have deserved the win. And even those are stoppable if u scout in time.

[dwainbunker]

LOL scrub :D

[NHFandHFP]

(mynameistoo) Even thought the SC&BW Campaings were the best written and acted out of the thousands of rts that have come out in the past 10 years.

[119058245]

wow one word : boring!!

[TheEggKing777]

It might look boring now, but it'll probably be better actually playing it.

[dwainbunker]

have fun being the only person not playing it

[MagmaMage5]

i hate it when ppl look up vids just to put bad comments if u dont like it then why look it up?omg grow up!

[mercenarybdu]

I see how the vikings work in terms of striking, but the problem now is that the mechs can't fire back at air units when they are on the ground.

[CCMrJones]

though their more powerful than the dammit goliaths

[wowsmasher89]

lol that nerd guy makes this game sound cool

[AmyLeVANG]

it look boring!!! =)

[maboroshi09]

really tho...that noob is annoying...

[w4vezf9a]

So are you, and if you think he is boring then turn off the sound!

[MorbidDeath1]

i love how they made all the graphics bubbly and looking almost exactly the same as warcraft...its really good to see that blizzard is afraid to make shit evil and cool looking

[AmyLeVANG]

is there any fast ma p in this game?

=)

[weirdkid146]

fast maps suck, grow some balls and play real maps.

[direregicide]

this noob is rlly pissing me off

[jakeisbowshackfilms]

I love that the CC has defense.

[jcng5]

it is so cool!

[aznpride0]

Not fair how come south korean now could try out sc2 but we can't.

[macrosonix99]

will it really come to snes??? ^^

man, just joking!!!! xD rflmao

this is awesome!!!!!

i´ll buy it the first day of the release :D

[LordKajimaru]

Man that can zoom!

[AMDA]

IT WILL COME TO SUPER NINTENDO

[regismonteiro]

it will no beat SC1 never, it will be like W3 - good but Disappointing...

[C0zmo69]

no way! warcraft 3 was disapointing becuase they added the hero element and it changed the basics of the gameplay... this is sticking to the same plan of massivs armies and crazy strategies... only with way more options and way better graphics.. u can have your opinion of course but id say this is very much so owning up to the legacy of starcraft2

[adriandel88]

Remember they havent announced the release date, so it means that they are still working on it, probably its gonna have better graphics. i just hope after this gameis released, they wont put a mmorpg for starcraft such as Warcraft or Warhammer 40000

[Wallrunner1992]

I won't say I don't give a crap about graphics, but seriously when it comes to games like Starcraft, I'm more interested in gameplay.

[justserbianboy]

true, same , god my favorite game, first play i think at 1997 or 1998 dont remember and still i have it on pc, god i love that game

[oompaloompa34]

Man I want this so bad... and anyway guys, even though CnC3 has better graphics, I don't really think that Blizz was thinking of out-doing another game, they want to have the best gameplay experience, not just have good graphics, if you were hooked on the first you'll love this one. If you feel like arguing about a video game thats not out yet then at least put some logic into it. Jeez.

[darkslane]

OMG so 3D nono... i mean 4D... !!! i cant wait to buy the game so cool.... 190% better than the 1st 1

[cyclemen]

this game is going to completly rule, everything is so unique and a player can use an army totally to his own style, its amazing, Cant wait to buy it :)

[hecatomb]

the game isnt out yet you people complain sound like idiots

[v065346]

totally agree... dumbasses.

[LibraElite]

lol fuckin hell

[martinxlive]

I hope I'm not going to need an amzing computer to run this

[Achilles2144]

Amazing computer it doesn't look like you need anything more than a nvidia 6200 for high detail with those graphics

[CassAlexFan]

I wonder why marines have shields. (guard them against zerglings?)

[DarkDays]

I believe it's the shield upgrade that can be purchased.

[Cobra9876]

im cumming on YOU!

[aznguy11111]

just like warcraft 3 but much much much better graphics.. how can graphics get better than this?? it can't. which means, the next gaming will be 3-d interactive in a big room.. or armageddon is cumming..

[Gunlord]

lol, what's at the end of the video, 7:48? lmao

[kristodj]

Bellissimo! Meraviglioso! colorschan fatti una sega, non capisci una mazza!!!

[colorschan]

Is this Lego starcraft? or warcraft3 1/2 ?

the design is awful.

[Valgroth]

It's a work in progress.

[Achilles2144]

I agree with colorschan to a certain extent, I hope this is not a pre-beta build for starcraft because (i still like starcraft), but these graphics suck. Look at its rival CnC3's graphics compared to this, no contest seriously.

[pandresvillare]

its totally pixeled on cnc and i have a real good graphics cards an looks like shit

[g0rilas]

I'm drooling. O_O I WAN THIS GAME!

[minibeamer09]

gosh dis shits ganna be a major hit MAJOR!!

[Jig55555]

Looks freaking awesome. btw, was that an empty bunker that he let get destroyed? lol

[Piscivorus]

I only hope the AI doesn't cheat like it did in Starcraft.

[NC20sc]

I HAVE A RESERVED COPY =P

and yes, you can get one

i got mine at gamestop

dont tell me that i didnt, i did

[Baneboss]

you didnt

[Tenshiwing]

Well I wouldnt really say that the terrans have kept their "defensive" stance... Just look at the Thor o0. They switched from defensive to siege, BIG time! And thats cool ^^

[newphew92]

Oh man I SO imagine a stampede in the stores and ppl fighting over each other

[Blizzard261]

wow.... this game has everything i remember in SCBW i used to use the supply depot to block enemies but now you can put them down to go over cool...

[joezilla29]

Mothership can't attack air units? LAME! Might as well take away it's rightful title as "Ultimate Protoss weapon of war."

[wzlang]

lol yeah

[epbwacko]

lol around 1.50-1.58 u can hear the music of the wrath of the lich king trailer ^^

[liyian]

...I can't believe I missed this. ._. Was this towards the back of the Exhibitor's Hall, with the other video games?

[mdmayers]

It was right in front of the Dell Booth/Trailer.

[liyian]

>> Which was in that back area, yea? I kinda skipped over that place...too much to do elsewhere.

[sag3tat0rul]

they did a great thing when they kept the style of SC1

[thewerle]

The Blizzard employee talking was a really helpful, awesome guy. I had a blast playing this game.

[ejkddorai]

wow...

[allengownzu]

Hehe I heard Devil May Cry in the background.

[nana12345677]

HOW ARE THEY PLAYING sc 2

[MouthofSaurons]

It looks like the Protoss and Terran are nearly ready. Why is zerg the last? I just like 'aliens' or that stuff and maybe it is because of T+P is the good and Z is the evil. I just wanna see them! I must know more than just Zergling, Baneling, Mutalisk, Nydus Worm!!!!!!!!!!!

[4bendan]

they should make some zerg good guys and some protoss evill too

[HellJumpers]

The blizzard rep is kind of an ass lol

[Myujin]

cant wait for sc2 xD

[LibraElite]

looks like the best rts game of the year go starcraft 2!!!

[void212]

If I was playing that, I'd be pissed off at the blizzard tech guy telling me what to do. I would just want to enjoy the game.

[DNSF1]

the requirements are really interesting... i hope they wount be too big!

[undermyscore2006]

2d to 3d. AWESOME

[bioioioio]

i dont when s2 will be on market but i think it will be soon cos it look almost finished

[azn11001]

then after 10 more years there will be another starcraft 3 for good. hahaha!! Blizzard has done a great job to bring this game to the next level.

[f3rnaNdoOo]

when the SC2 will be on market????

[25martie]

they've been playin' starcraft for almost 10 years and still didn't got bored :|,so this one's gonna go for another decades :))

[BlueGundam1]

Cant wait for this game, im SURE it will be excellent!

[daniel246]

its like all games, u will get bord with it. good bye

[GhostBuRn7]

Lol the person who is talking doesnt even let him play, like he keeps telling him to do stuff lol. i would be piss if that guy did that to me, i would be like FUCK OFF AND LET ME PLAY THE DARN GAME GOD

[mychaleg]

yeah i agree. what the hell. he's says 'alright i'll let you just build'  then three seconds later he's telling him what to do again lol.

he's probably just pumped to be able to talk about it.

[mullyandscullder]

salvage is the biggest CRAP in the universe

[awesomeprincess3]

noooo

[ooSangJunoo]

nice moniter!!!1

[BiznatchWang]

This video does not load like most youtube vids do (slow, sometimes stops streaming). Is youtube doing something, or is it just me?

[rrubior]

in my PC, this video load more fast :S

[BiznatchWang]

Is there anywhere I can get this in downloadable format?

Also, thanks for posting this. Can't get enough of SC2! :D

[mdmayers]

I posted this on my blog at mattmayers DOT com SLASH blog and I'll post a downloadable high(er) res version there as soon as I get the chance.

[sakredfire]

u play sc1 much? no offense, but i was surprised to see you didn't know how to put the tank in siege mode. Just curious...I've played the first one to death and so find it a little hard to believe when I see a gamer who hasn't =)

[sakredfire]

the game looks awesome, btw. Thanks for the footage!

[mdmayers]

I wasn't playing in that video. It would have been difficult to play and film at the same time. I just walked up on these two talking and they allowed me to take some video of them.

[sakredfire]

gotcha, I assumed that u were the one playing and someone else was filming for you.

[CrazyCrackahMelakle]

lovin' it.  can't wait.

[WhomTheBells]

early next year? lol go ur stupid and lol at people who actually believe u rofl. everyone that actually keeps up with blizzard shit knows its not gonna be out until a long time. probably end of next year, or early 2009. whoever told u early next year is a moron. lol and u believe him moron.

[gatsu6969]

they've been working on it since 2003, so it is not so unbelievable that they could have it done by 2008. guess you would know that if you kept up with your blizzard shit "lol".

[Paulthefighter]

Thanks. I actually was at this demo release, and an ACTUAL EMPLOYEE told me that it would probably be out early next year.

So, bells...Blizzard is a moron for knowing whan their own game is coming out?

[WaterJay]

you actually buy that? blizzard will take as long as it needs to make this game perfect, and at this stage, it's not even internal α yet, still loads of things to be fixed and redesigned. optimistically speaking, we would be very luck to see it out later 08.

[Paulthefighter]

According to the blizzard source, they were nearly finished with the zerg, and fully done with the other two races.

Doesn't look like much to me...

[WaterJay]

yeah, that was just the intial stage, make how the game looks and feels, the hard work is how to make the game balance, huge amount of test work is a head, during which anything could happen, any major change could takes long time.

[Paulthefighter]

True, but most of the game (at least between protoss and terran) seems balanced, and the work left on the zerg was mostly "balance work". Hopefully, this means that the beta testing will be for bugs, not game imbalances. (And a bug was found in one of the multiplayer games...)

[zentrax82]

wtf is with this video?? 40kb/s download?!?!?!??! thats not funny...

[qwertyboyo]

i remeber that

[Paulthefighter]

nope, I mean 2008. They had nearly finished the work on the Zerg at the time of the convention, with Terran and Protoss fully playable.

The game is really far along, and a blizzard employee (actually, the same one that was giving commentary) said to expect the game to be out early next year, around march or so.

[Paulthefighter]

they say that it will be out early next year.

And I met that guy in person!

[FoxGhost7]

You mean 2009?? Anything else seems very... optimistic.

[KodierungHerz]

Is that Karune?? O_0

[deathwish475]

when are they going to release this? cant wait, i have been waitng for this for 10 years now. lol.

[awesomeprincess3]

me to lol
