Trailers Released for Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
« on: June 01, 2011, 09:13:57 PM »
[float=left][attach=1][/float] Less than a year after their groundbreaking release of Wings of Liberty, Blizzard has released gameplay and a trailer for the next installment of SC:II, The Heart of the Swarm. This installment will focus on Kerrigan and her zerg and screenshots indicate that, like Wings of Liberty, your army will be fully upgradable. Other additions include new units for all factions and the use of the missing snow and ice tileset. Not much has been released at this point about multiplayer except that it will require Wings of Liberty to play and that there will be no LAN support.

Enjoy the following trailers courtesy of gamereplays.org after the break.[cutoff]

Not again!  Not making the mistake of buying it.

You guys have fun with this.  I'm going to go cry in the corner hoping for a good Command and Conquer game to be released.   :cry:

SCII is amazing gameplay-wise but I am not very good at it. :(

The singleplayer storyline was good though.  I will likely buy this expansion.

That limited access time thing is bollocks. They're not selling a game per se. They're selling subscriptions.

You only get a lifetime of access to multiplayer if you buy the $60 priced one. I mean, the wings of liberty part.

There were editions with a couple months to a year worth of multiplayer being sold. I've even spotted play time cards for sale.

Looking forward to this with great interest.
Only thing that continues to bug me about SCII are those damned region locks. :dry:

I just bought the North America digital edition. The Brazilian one was horribly dubbed. Yes, dubbed.

Ouch. Though break.
I just hope that the day when they start dubbing games in Finnish will never come. The horror...  :ermm:

But I have considered buying the NA version too, but it would feel kinda silly to buy the same game again just so I can play with people from NA, no matter how much I want it.
Why do you have to be so mean and greedy, Blizzard?  :cry:

Ah, yes. Sectioning multiplayer by region was bollocks.

I know that it's a way to try and keep the lag down but, it's too heavy handed. There are clans with members from multiple countries.

Good that I don't play multiplayer much.
The campaign though was great, can't wait to play this.

According to Blizzard only a fraction of people who bought the game actually played Multiplayer, region coding had something to do with that methinks.

It definitely did with me. Back in the day in TZF Chat Thread: "Let's go play SCII." Me: "Can't. Region locks. :dry:"
I remember that video on Youtube where someone said that the region locks were also there so that Blizzard could make some extra profits: It would be minor enough issue that not that many people would complain about it, but those who would be annoyed by it would buy 2 versions of the game.

It'll probably be a while, but I'm still waiting for the 'Starcraft 2 battle chest' where I can get all three episodes of content for 60 bucks... hopefully the world doesn't end first.  :D
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
