RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

I know they don't have a Mac OS version of the beta, but I guess it's always possible if you're running Windows on a Mac.

How old of demo footage are we talking? Because, although it was never cel shaded, originally Terran had a really bright and cartoony look, but they tweaked it quite a while ago. Yeah, it does seem brighter than SC1 in general, but it still definitely has a Starcraft feel, in my opinion.

The only thing I don't like is that they have a caricature of Arnold Schwarzenegger driving the Thor. It's amusing at first, but so distracting and out of place. Blah

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

I agree with Jehuty, I do have a question though, how do you get into the beta? Also if anyone has L4D2 and Killing Floor I frequent that when I can get a good internet connection

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

At this point, the only way to get into the beta is to make a Battle.net account (at www.battle.net), register a game (you have to own an existing Blizzard game) and then go to your beta profile settings and enroll for the Starcraft 2 beta. All you can do after that is hope they pick you at a later phase.

I got in because I was one of the winners of one of their contests last year.

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

Is this cartoony and cel-shaded?

How about this?

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

Yes, compared to SC1.
No, compared to WoW.

I watched some newer videos and I agree that they've improved it slightly but it still is flamboyant and uncharacteristic of the genre.  The announce cinematic is still awesome though!

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

I always thought the first Starcraft had a sort of cartoon look to it because of the low colors. I think the second looks less so.

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

Yeah, I watched a video earlier compairing the two, and the older one is much more cartoonish looking than the new one. Oh Well
Lots of really bright colors. XD

Well, good.  You'll probably enjoy the sequel much more than I.Sad

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

I think that the original Starcraft definently had some bright colors in it due to the color you choose (pink I am looking at you). But Starcraft 2 just seems more rounded than the original which had hand-drawn units that added a definative look to the game.

RE: StarCraft 2 Beta

It's funny, looking at the screenshots of SCII it doesn't look as good as when it's in motion. I still don't really see what you're talking about in terms of cell shading and the cartoon look, but oh well.

Either way, I can't wait for it to come out.

I also can't wait for Diablo III... Speaking of cartoony...
