Dustin Browder interview - cool !

Hey,

Polish Starcraft 2 fansite starcraft2.net.pl got a great video interview with Starcraft 2 lead designer Dustin Browder. I highly recommend watching this interview as Dustin talks Starcraft 2's direction towards the next generation of eSports; about current play testing and the future beta, about cool things in the single-player campaign like an Infested Terran vampire mission, mineral bases in lava etc etc...

Havn't seen this one yet. Nice to have a little bit more singleplayer mission info (Dustin must have had alot of coffee before this interview >>) and finally the infestor makes sense lore wise xD.

"Beta really really soon" =O...though this could mean anything really

 

very nice interview, browder was actually funny with his imitations, but it goes to show how into the game blizzard is themselves.

and yeah he musta had a Monster or something before hand xD

really, really, really, soon? sounds like they want it out July, and it makes sense while Beta will be overall fun for us (we play the game) and all we do is say "hey this is IMBA!!!!" or "WTF IS THIS S**** NERF NERF NERF" THEy are the ones who actually have to go back and fix numbers, power, etc. beta is probably insane time for them. hopefully out this week if not next

 

yeah he mustav had some TERRIBLE TERRIBLE intake of coffee. xD

Great interview btw...the campaings are gna be really fun =]

 

No! Don't you guys dare imply Dustin needs drugs to be awesome.

 

Nice one, watching right now

Omg its great, hes on drugs!

 

that was awesome. challenge mode seems like fun

 

The campaign sounds amazing.

 

Yeah, sounds fantastic. A co-op mode with a mate of some kind would be even better though (perhaps just both controling the same "base).

 

epic interview epic!! love the way the campaign is sounding damnt i want beta

 

Did I hear this correctly?

THREE diffilculty settings for the campaign: normal, hard, insane!! awesome!!!

 

4! Easy too!

 

easy doesnt count

 

That was actually a really good interview. A lot of information was revealed, especially about the Single Player! You really can't go too wrong with Dustin Browder's body language.

So, it seems like the beta will be soon. I like.

 

''the low ground floods with lava every five minutes; if you are on the low ground, you WILL die. Oh, guess what? All the minerals are on the ground!''

LOL. Sounds epic. And replayable (which is something the original StarCraft missions weren't exactly, other than for the storyline) I'm hoping that in an effort to make SC2's campaign very replayable that some missions can be won with different mission objectives.

Also: I can hardly wait to see what the COMMUNITY will produce as campaigns with the new map editor (Guild Wars, anyone?). Hopefully Blizzard have given the right tools to support more campaigns such as the Chronicles of Antioch.

 

There is actually a SC1 scenario that came with the game that was exactly this, called "Old Faithful." Admittedly, it wasn't part of the campaign, but intended for UMS.

 

But that was for the N64 version, I believe. It was a two player map: the first to gather 5000 minerals won.

 

That's true, but it was also for the PC version. I used to play it often.

 

A mission with lots of infested terrans that burrow by day, and come out in the night to swarm you.... just... epic.

 

If one of my friends or I do not get access to the beta for this game I might literally die of excitement waiting for it to come out!

Great interview.
