That stuff's made using the Warcraft III engine, I saw it myself after beating the game on hard.
And they would NOT use the WCIII engine for SC2. I do NOT believe that. Anyway, I've heard somewhere that Blizzard wasn't going to make an SC2 at all..... |

The only worry I have is that fact that it is obviously a 3D RTS. rather than the original, which was 2D. So far all the 3D RTS's haven't done that well. Example, the new Dune and Dark Reign 2, etc. |

Dune was a little dissapointing, I have Dark Reign but I never got any of the others.
I thought Earth 2150 was a very well done game. Homeworld and Homeworld Cataclysm are two of my more favorite games, and all of those are 3d.

Re-using engines is becoming more popular these days, given the cost of developing a new one. If Carmack re-uses QIII to make RtCW, then Blizzard can use WC3 to make SC2. Hey, they used WC2 to make SC in the first place. Of course this being blizzard there should be substantial enhancements to the engine, but using it as a base would make a lot of sense.
@Deathbringer : Warzone 2100. Excellent game, mostly 2d with 3d graphics. Ever play it? You should cos its a)cheap and b)excellent.

I'm not saying 3D RTS's are bad, I'm saying they don't sell as well. [ 07-20-2002, 02:43 PM: Message edited by: Deathbringer ] |

Neb, givent he amount of time they took to make WC3 I dont want to wait 4 years for SC2 just so they can have a new engine. It would be a waste anyway, Who cares what the underlying engine is? The game is what counts and if re-using the engine results in a better game in less time they should go for it.

Thing is, many people seem to prefer a “cosy” 2d or 2d style game, to a really complicated and sophisticated 3d one. [ 07-20-2002, 04:34 PM: Message edited by: Dramnek_Ulk ] |
