http://www.gamespot.com/video/939643/6176222/starcraft-ii-single-player-campaign-blizzcon-preview a look at the single player campaign of SC2. is it just me, or does it looks alot like Knights of the Old Republic? from the way you interact with characters, even to the theme of some great end-all army. (if this doesn't warrant it's own topic, then feel free to move or merge it.)
Reminds me more of the old point and click games. Except, of course, the graphics, which are for some strange reason, much better.
Yeah, it's not like KOTOR can make any claim to point-and-click interfaces. Hell, that sort of thing goes back to the days of Myst and King's Quest. I will say, though, it's a nice touch. I hope that nothing important was put on the back-burner to work on it, as it's purely aesthetic, but it's still a cool little feature. It definitely adds a sense of authenticity to the campaign.
Yes it does indeed have KOTOR feeling on it. But what it reminds MOSTLY is actually Unreal 2 awakening. It was VERY similar idea where you could talk with your ship crew member about missions, life, weapons and relations. It was really nice and gave pause to relaxation between missions. I really liked it then but Starcraft 2 will be alot BETTER because of great lore and awesomelly made Starcraft universe and brilliant charecterists.
Makes me wonder how the Zerg and Protoss missions will be. After all, it's not as though the zerg can use money or anything. Maybe Blizzard will ditch the Zerg and Protoss missions (yeah, right). Or maybe Raynor will use all the races units...Can't wait to see how they plan to do all this...
They would just have to bring unique elements to each races campaign. I don't see how this relates to KOTOR either other than a similiar character interaction interface and rpg elements, the gameplay is totally different...
I like it. It's loads better than the flat pics and loads of text of the first game. This just made the wait even harder XD
