Remember the AMD/Blizzard leak for StarCraft 2 graphics requirements? Well, StarCraftWire.net's tech guru Kalos who uncovered this leak and unreleased screenshots from the game engine has now put together all the information available from Blizzard official sources, technical knowledge and technology limitations to iron out what actual hardware is recommended to play StarCraft 2 Beta when you get your hands on it.
Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.
They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.
Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.
The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
Illogical Games has just announced the official release of Star Discord, the one-man indie dev's charming StarCraft lookalike on mobile.
I can play it! Sweet!
*rubs hands!*
Cheers!
Ohh noes :( I better upgrade my computer
Awesome. I can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy.
Specs don't seem too demanding. Need a 9800Gt though
I'm amazed on hos much information is really available in the public, even if all Blizzard OFFICIALLY said was "Pixel Shader 2.0".
Sure, that AMD report was quite extensive, but wasn't intentional to be released, most likely... ;)
