With the recent influx of many more beta testers and an obvious desire to continue testing Battle.net 2.0 before the full release of the game, Blizzard announced tonight that at some point in the "near future" they will be doing a full reset of the current beta Battle.net database. More ▶
One of the most heavily questioned areas of the StarCraft II beta has been the Leagues and Ladders system -- specifically how one moves up and down in placement and what influences those decisions. Tonight Bashiok, one of the Blizzard Community Managers, provided a FAQ to help try and answer some of these questions. More ▶
StarCraft 2 Amateur Hour Episode 003 is Live and features Brood Lords, Motherships, Overlords filled with wine, and a terrifying tale of a black out! Videos after the More link. More ▶
Gunsakimbo, really? Really? Episode 003: Brood Lords!? After trashing at least two takes just because of my accidental mentioning Brood Lords too early!? Really!? You put it in the effing tittle!? Oh man! Just for that next game, you get warp-in pylon proxied. =D
In a recent article from Kotaku, PlayStation researcher Anton Mikhailov ran through a handful of demos at the GDC convention held last week to showoff how precise the new device can be. The Move's precision is down to about one millimeter in the X and Y-planes as he turned and twisted the device for the audience. More ▶
Kaleb has the right idea. You'll never see any pro gamers competing with this thing or even anyone who's serious about being worth their salt on battle.net. That said, I must say that this thing by sony deserves a slot in the top 10 biggest rip-offs of all time.
The 2nd installment of "Quantum Post" is now available. This time we take a look at Patch 5, Rob Pardo's remarks on Blizzard's game design philosophy, the current Zerg sound effects, and some interesting comments on custom mapping possibilities. More ▶
heh heh heh....be afraid, puny zealot, be very afraid!
Zerg air... too good? Zerg Mutalisks have remained relatively unchanged from StarCraft 1 to StarCraft 2. But everything else that deals with them has changed! Terran no longer have Science Vessels nor their splash damage spell Irradiate. Protoss still have Archons, but they have been nerfed so that they deal bonus damage to biological units, but no longer do they deal splash damage. More ▶
PCWorld, a longtime running computer magazine, has posted online a top 10 countdown of video game villains. Our oft-overlooked Sarah Kerrigan, the infamous Queen of Blades, has been named as the tenth most vile villain in video gaming. More ▶
Sephiroth as 1? REALLY? Why? He's the single-most overrated villain of all time. What did he do? Kill a flower girl and walk through fire? Whoopdie-fuckin'-doo. I'm sorry about the rant, I usually don't do this, but seriously people, GET OVER IT!
In other news, happy to see Pyramid Head on there, and finally Kerrigan gets some widepsread acknowledgment.
i dont get how kerrigan isnt number 1, she only killed off more than half of all the heroes in starcraft 1 and totally backstabbed all of them in the process of killing her own master (the overmind) while taking control of all of the zerg. aaand she used to be a goodguy. and is that a model of non-infested kerrigan from starcraft 2? but how is that possible?
Hey everyone, it's time for a small contest to get you all thinking and laughing! Every so often [We haven't decided how often yet... depends on you guys!], we will post a StarCraft-related picture. Your job is to send in funny captions that apply to that picture. The top caption(s) will be featured in the following news post. More ▶
Sir, ain't we suppose to be on the blue one?
In a recent lecture held Thursday at GDC, Rob Pardo took some time to convey his thoughts on design philosophy and how it has shaped the way Blizzard has created its games over the past decade. He offered many trials and tribulations his development studio has faced and how other companies can learn from their lessons when designing games for the future. Although many understand Blizzard's main un More ▶
It's interesting to see Pardo talking about his remorse at their inability to really include the heroes and intertwine them into the core gameplay in SC:BW. Though it makes sense, you'll see that at any company where they are able to look back years later and reflect on improvements / changes they would've liked to have made.
Blizzard recently took time out of their busy schedules to answer some of the community's more pressing concerns regarding the beta and we were left with some very interesting information. More ▶
