Beauty upgrade

Wow, just look at this picture:

http://www.starcraft2.com/screenshot.xml?s=51

I for once think that this Siege Tank looks beats the one in first demos. Also, the details in Barracks, Factory and Reactor add-on look amazing. Hope they keep this looks rather than the old ones. It feels like it's much easier to point a Siege Tank in a scenario now, very different than a Cobra. Have you guys noticed the difference too, or am I just being carried by the beauty of the picture ???

 

the tank does look alot better than the original and jeah the pic is cool, i have it on as my desktop

 

maybe there will be low and high quality modes in the game so almost every1 can play it

 

It's a beautiful picture. But that factory addon is in a way of units coming out of factory.

 

I guess that not every PC will support this kind of detail, Blizzard already stated they would put multiple detail levels in the game to support most modern computers.

But if you want full details like in the demo and on this screenshoot, you might need to have a very expensive PC and I doubt that most people will be willing to buy new parts for their PC's just for one game. However, this would be a good exception because my eyes are starting to hurt from the ugly SC1 graphics.

 

I'll upgrade my NEW computer is needed to play StarCraft2 with better graphics.

 

Those are improvements which come when the game progresses, has nothing to do with the quality modes. How do I know? Because it's quite obvious that blizz would never post low quality fotos without saying that those screenies belong to a game run on a slow computer.

 

That sounds quite obvious indeed, but it doesn't have to be a real screenshot you know, it could also be just some screenshot taken out of one of the cinematics, and Blizzard is known to create some awesome looking cinematics for in their games. And those are always higher than their normal in-game graphics.
(thanck god for that, you would need some NASA PC to run that kind of game )

 

That is exactly like what it looked like at BlizzCon, even WWI. I think the only difference here is that the units are lit differently on this tileset. Take a look, a few shots over, you are back at the first screenshot, from WWI, there are Battlecruisers engaging Warp Rays. Apart from being at a different zoom level, the units look exactly the same.

 

This is old but i just have to say that i just love the new looks

 

The problem with the new siege tank is that I could not tell that it was a "tank" . It looks like a miltary vehicle..but not neccesarily a tank. If i didtn play Sc1 i woudnt' have deduced it was the siege tank

 

It has treads and a big gun. What could it be other than a tank?
In siege mode you would deduce it was an artillery piece which in the case of the siege tank is partially correct anyway

 

My only qualm is the X style siege mode... just doesn't look right to me.

Tank mode looks nice tho.

 

The new graphics are sweet. I will DEFINITELY need a new computer to be able to play StarCraft2 without any problems or lag. The thing I like most about the new graphics is how when something explodes the area around it kind of distorts a bit. Can't really explain it but I noticed it a lot in the gameplay videos. I also love the new physics in the game, they make the game seem really real!

 

treads yes. the turret ? Not that easy to spot. Looks more like a block than a turret to me

 

i wish the marines were slightly smaller and the bc slight bigger

 

Don't knock the Siege Tank. It may have looked like it had lips with the original model, but now it looks like a proper army tank. Also, I like the fact that in Siege Mode, it is hardly recognizable as a Tank, and looks much more like a Turret or Artillery.

 

Yeah. In game it looks as if the BC is just a real big toy to the marines.

@ItzaHexGor

Yes, I also like the new siege tank design especially in siege mode.

 

I love the new siege tank

 

yeeessss! finally some people that agree! The new Siege Tank kicks ass compared to the old one, which already kicked ass! Which means that the new one kicks asses!
Anyway, about it looking like static artillery when Sieged is awsome! It is one of the reasons that i like it, but also the reason why one of my friends don´t.
The new 6 treaded look when unsieged is also awsome, one of the best looking designs i´ve seen.
