StarCraft II Official! (Pictures)

[WB]

They're had a few for D3 updates, I've been keeping up with it because I love the visual style

[Whiplash!]

New Blizzcon Screenshots can be found around the web.

You fail at copy pasta.

I actually found the screenshots in question myself and they removed the player color glow from protoss! Argh!

I found the screenshots elsewhere.  The in-game cinematics are even better and the detail is very similar to the pre-rendered cinematics.

I don't like the new Terran air unit.  It looks too much like a Protoss unit and seems out of place from the rest of the Terran's bulky, clunky look.

Lavarinth, we're waiting on official word from you!  What can you tell us that others haven't said yet?

[Whiplash!]

Personally I'm really digging the new nighthawk (or whatever its called). I love the design for it and think that its fine for the terrans to have a few sleek units. Let me fix those screenshots.

They removed the player glow from the Protoss?  Noooooooo!

While not critical, it was Totally Awesome. 

Oh, well.

Apparently the game will only ship with the terran campaign and the other two will be stand-alone addons.

Good grief.

Olawd that's a lot of SC2

Given the extreme simplicity of the wc3 campaigns I sure hope they justify this decision by actually putting effort into the actual missions and not just running off with the excuse "OMG THE STORY IS TOO EPIX"

30 missions is what SC had altogether, and SC has a lot of freedom to work with considering its current story. I am optimistic.

Ditto. If it's 25 pure b&d maps followed by 2-5 installation maps I'll be pissed, no matter how good the story may be. Let's hope that this will mean not just more missions, but actual creative missions featuring awesome gameplay.

Bigger campaigns = more for us campaign makers to live up to!

Not sure how I feel about this yet.  I always disliked how the Original Campaigns for SC1 and WC3 were really more focused on teaching you how to play the game then telling you the story (and then going all-out in the expansions).  So I'm all in favour of more focus on the story.

I'll be curious to see how they decide to release Zerg: Heart of the Swarm and Protoss: Legend of the Void.  As Expansion sets or downloadable content (like the WC3: TFT Orc campaign)?  Maybe both.

30 missions each will give plenty of time to fully develop the story for each campaign.  It'll probably also make the game get released faster/prevent them from rushing on the Singleplayer Campaigns.  Also, wait times between campaigns will definatly increase the intrest in player-made campaigns.  Blizzard probably also wants to go all-out on the game itself though.  StarCraft was one of their most successful games, and SC2 has some seriously high expectations to live up to. 

But still...  'Legend of the Void' is a horrible name...

[Meta]

Isn't it "Legacy of the Void"? 1up says it is Legend, but starcraftwire.net and some people who followed the live stream say it's Legacy. 

[wibod]

I dunno, Kotaku also says it's Legend.
