Starcraft 2 Q&A Batch 13

sweet. nvm... read it wrong.
but hey, nice to know about voice. hopefuly won't be spammed too much.

 

@ Markus

I think a Zerg tank based on the ground is definitely a must, and the idea behind the Ultralisk rocks. I'd just rather see a new unit to take it's role, but similar idea/design behind the Ultralisk. A huge strong scary beast .

 

ok ok, ur all right i never really used the ultralisk unless it was like all the money in the world for me, and like, ha lets just pwn there tanks. but ultralisk i thought was pretty "kool" unit. notice i do say kool not good. but if they make him better then ill be happy cause id love to c more of them!

 

They were quick to scrap the useless, or at least less useful, units of Protoss and Terran. I have no idea why they kept the ultralisk. Even if it's a unit that picks up the ultra's role, it should still be a fresh new unit. That's what they did with Toss and Terran.

 

128 mb video card? why? it has to be 256 minimum.

 

So it doesn't look like plastic toys.  Youre gonna need a god vid card to play anything else anyway

 

Remy, I believe that even though Blizzard is keeping the Ultralisk, they will probably give the Ultralisk some sort of upgrade that would make it a dangerous unit. I'm guessing the ability to trample units?

 

coz low video card mean bad and poor visuals. if the minimum is like only 128mb then what i can except will be not really a nice or improve graphics and visuals in sc2 even in 512 video card. =\

higher video card minimum requirement = NICE VISUALS. =)

what is this? half life 2? gta san andreas? a 2008 game should have a 256 minimum video card requirement.

 

I am hoping the ultra will be able to trample units or throw them. Maybe both in different situations

 

Zeratul, dont underestimate how much processing a 128mg card can do. WIC minimum requirments are 128 MB video RAM, DirectX® 9.0c compatible and its supposed to be the best looking rts ever...

 

It isnt supposed to be.  It is.  I know I beta tested the game. Another quality Vivendi game

 

ok now i know. anyway 256 video card as minimum ftw =p

ultralisk. i hope the LOOK and NAME will be different. RAMPAGE! STUN! CRUSH! EARTHQUAKE power for the NEW ultralisk.

i want a turtle like unit for the zerg. actually i have a concept for it. in 3 days i will upload and make a thread about it here.

 

How can I find out how much video RAM do I have? What is video RAM?

 

Hey thanks for telling me that. Didn't know that until you told be that.
Anyway interested what new stuff the ultralisk is going to have

 

Click on Start -> Run -> type in "dxdiag", OK it, wait for it to finish then third tab on the top that says something like "screen". Look for "total memory" in there, it should be the fifth line in the top-left.

 

Thanks I have 512 MB
And for pixel shader? What is that?

 

If you've got a card with that much memory then you don't need to worry about pixel shader. It's a technique used in modern graphics but your card must be more than capable of handling that.

 

Thanks for the update! :good:
Hope to see what's new in the Ultralisk's sleevies ^_^

 

OK Thank you very much owerup:

 

sweet ych9, thanks for the info!

yay. they're answering zerg questions now. that means we'll see zerg soon!
