I actually squee'd. I haven't even finished Starcraft 1 and I squee'd.

Of course, we don't get it until next Friday because games Producers don't think Americans can handle getting games at the same time as the rest of the world, so I'll be sitting here on Tuesday, utterly fuming that everyone else is going on about how great it is...

Awesome Trailer, it looks more like a movie trailer than a game trailer.
I would definitely go see that movie.

So, I really, really wasn't intending on writing anything more about SC2 until the game was actually out, but then I saw this: Blizzard has been running a small viral promotion on the StarCraft II site asking gamers to join the Terran Dominion [http://us.starcraft2.com/dominion/], and every would-be commander that joined and took the "Which unit are you?" quiz added another tally to the pile.

Never played a StarCraft game, never liked RTSes. I had no excitement for this game, but shamwow, that trailer is astounding. My jaw actually dropped.

Maybe if I cryogenically freeze myself I'll be able to get to one of the midnight launch events sooner. - John Funk

listen! Listen to me carefully! You need to be patient! I'm you in the future! You have to be patient and wait Starcraft II to come out, or else you'll wake up in the future and have to deal with a bunch of sea otters!

Have we learned nothing from South Park?

I wonder if I can do a full playthrough of the campaigns before this comes out to get back up to speed. Only one way to find out.

The Dominion test is really cool. Should have been a badge here on Escapist.

Blizz's cinematics have always been very high quality. Even back in the Warcraft RTS days. Looks cool :p
Indeed. They could make movies with the artistic quality the pour into each of these cg vids, especially since Warcraft 3.

What a shame I just can't get excited about this. Of all the games I wanted more of, Starcraft was definitely near the top, second maybe to Deus Ex, Theif 2, or Fallout 2.

Woah, the hype-meter imploded just to explode afterwards :D

By the way, for those who don't know. This shows full CGI as well as in-engine cutscenes.

And those who wonder why they don't bring out a full CGI movie. Those CGI cinematics take forever to produce.
According to their cinematics team it took a frigging year until the WoW: The Burning Crusade trailer was completely finished. (Which doesn't mean that everyone of the team is working non stop on it but still, 1 year until completion... now you know why there won't be a CGI film).

So it's gonna be, like, a knock-off of Warhammer 40K?

And it's real-time strategy, so that trailer is essentially meaningless.

Strange... It seems like with the new game they completely factored out what happened in Starcraft: Broodwar. Maybe they announced it, but I never noticed until just now.

...how much money would it really take for blizzards team of cinematic animators and writers to make a feature film...cause i really want to see that...a movie of any of their games would be epic!

No, not really. The stuff in the bonus campaign will probably still be broached but its mostly something only Zeratule knows about- even Kerrigan was left out when Duran went rogue and started making his hybrids.
