...a trilogy.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6199172.ht … es;title;1

So now they broke Starcraft II into three different parts. Which has it's good and it's bad. First the good.

1) Longer campaings focused on one race so more in depth story with that race.
2) No need for transition of a nine missions

Now the Bad

1) Waiting for the others to come out (specifically Zerg and Protoss [cant believe they made them fucking last!])
2) They can rehash missions if they want to (different prespectives on same battle)
3) No variety in game play by taking out the three faction formula.

I'm torn - on one hand, I'll be spending more money to get all three; but on the other, it just goes to show how indepth the storyline is going to be. _hopefully

Hold on, what do you mean by that? (Assuming I understood what you meant by that), This "trilogy" thing only refers to the singleplayer campaign, multiplayer will be the same regardless of which part of the trilogy you have.

Pardo was quick to reassure the crowd that this applied to single-player only and that the multiplayer portion would ship complete with all three races playable

I missed that part, but still if they deviate from the formula the orginal starcraft had then it could turn shit really easy.

I actually really like it when they do that, I remember in LOTR BFME they did that a lot and I thought it was pretty cool since I could think what I would do if I was on the other side.

Seems to be the way games are going nowadays. Let's hope that the campaigns are either enormous, or the episodes are cheap.

Well they are all going to be 26-30 missions so I doubt episodic gaming will take place.

right, they are all going to be pretty much separate games in their own regard.

it doesn't really bother me too much.

Actually, it bodes well for the thoroughness of a campaign. The first game seemed a bit rushed in that aspect, and with Starcraft 2's additional detail...

The only thing I heard that would be different between the games apart from the campaign is those specials units that you get in Zerg and Protoss campaign, they would be useable in the map editor only if you bought those games. This is just for Custom map then. If they would release the entire game now we would have broken story, that's half done and probably a very buggy game. Not sure if I would buy that.

They said they would go more in to the story and character developing, Starcraft had around 30 missions total, now each campaign has 30 missions, it gotta means something for you people. How long do you think it would take for you to finish this game?

Then again the game would be released over the years, so it would go around a year or longer before each game got. Its the same with Half Life 2 episode but this really pack stuff with it. Unlike episode 1 did.

Those who are gonna warez it because of the trilogy, well if you cant cash up around 40-50$ during each year you are the cheap bastard.
