SC 2? i douubt it

sc2 will no doubt be 3d. Also... as said before this belongs in GAMES. All game discussions are to be in games. Mod please move this.

...3D lags up the game with excessive amounts of units, ever play warcaft III? Now with the huge liking of defense and madness maps, i dont think a 3D starcraft would be good.

2D > 3D

Nevertheless SC2 will no doubt be 3D, however SC2 will also suck. I don't think it would ever be as good as Starcraft.

I prefer the simplicity of 2D and the look of 2D. RTS isn't about the graphics anyway. It would probably just get in the way.

Ever heard of Rome: Total War? So you'll have to get a newer computer than those Pentiums you've been playing StarCraft on. Stop whining!

2D Is a lot better than 3d better maps

You can't beat Starcraft's melee. It's just fairly impossible. Think about it, it's a 9(?) year old game, and yet it's preferred over alot of RTS games. it's just got amazing melee, if they changed any bit of a the formula that makes SC so damn good, bam, game over man.

I agree, Terraining in Warcraft3 is alot harder than in Starcraft

[center]There's not going to be a SC II... If there was, it'd be 3D.[/center]

Rise of Nations, is a recent example of an RTS that did graphics well. I remember hearing that the units and structures were 2D, but the terrain was 3D. It worked well, even with hundreds of units, there was no lag.

well, i doubt blizzard would expend so many time makin a Starcraft 2 Whit Awesome 3d graphics

I think the best way to do an SC2 game would be to make it pretty much just like SC but with extra races or units and terrain. More of like how Brood War was an expansion.

An SC2 like how Project Revolution looks would just be ewwww.

Followed by, What do i look like, an Orc?

then ; STOP POKING ME!

Blizzard has to make it 3D, also they'll add EUD, EAS, ESS too. Except it's not in triggers.

We can only hope

I would actually prefer 3D... I don't like WC3's gameplay, And yet I wan't it to be 3D like WC3.

I think then it would actually bring more people to starcraft.

why it have to be 3d to bring more people??

I see a lot of people not buying or not playing games because the graphics suck on them.

3D makes the units too big and bulky like how you see them in the pictures. But they also have a Zoom feature where you can zoom out right? 3D wouldn't be that bad if they were the same sizes as SC units are now.

3d would be cool....at least in starcraft...but like everyone already said...Warcraft III has the worst graphics in my opinion it just hurts my eyes...if u ever play it on bnet and u get those big fights...you cant tell what the hell is going on all those stupid spells flashing around...god i hate it

could it be optional? like u could choose wether u wanted 2D or 3D? if so that would be cool

Yeah, WarCraft III graphics are teh suck for big battles. However, WarCraft III isn't about the big battles. The Battle for Middle-Earth is. No one can argue that TBfM-E graphics suck. If it does one thing right, it is making the game look freaking awesome. If StarCraft III had better graphics than TBfM-E you would all pay $2,000 for a new computer.

Starcraft Three??

I like 2D as it does not kill my computer (very much)

Making 2D and 3D options wouldn't be practical I think. From what I know the difference is that 2D uses prerendered sprites, which can be modeled to look 3-dimensional, but 3D is rendered during the game or something.

Some wikipedia article explains the differences clearly though.


The way I see 3D now is that, it's could be a good though UNLESS it interferes with the gameplay of how Starcraft is now and makes it totally different. I mean it would be cool to see more realistic looking units, but not at the cost of gameplay. I'm content with good old 2D graphics.
