Starcraft II: Heart of the swarm trailer
« on: October 22, 2011, 04:46:14 AM »
So Blizzcon showed off the new trailer for Starcraft 2's first expansion and I couldn't help notice something.  At around 1:45 in the video they show off a mech that looks a LOT like the Warhammer.  I wonder if Blizzard might get a letter from Harmony Gold USA anytime soon.

Video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG_3R9BoVvg

Also in that regards of the Warhammer when I showed this and my friend Mr. Marbo Belrick noticed it this was his response (he is a big Battletech fan himself):
"Korpulu sector, it has seen endless war. Until suddenly out of nowhere, myterious invaders known only as the ZERG struck, attacking every sector at once!  But they made one mistake... THEY ATTACKED MY HOME PLANET."

That's about it, SC2 Discussion I guess, just thought this was interesting seeing a mech that looked SO much like the Warhammer.

Holy shit that does look alot like a Whammy...

However, it looks different enough. It's not grounds for suing.
When will full game/demo/beta be released?
         We're planning a beta release in the next *very* few weeks. At this time, we can't be more specific. Please stop asking.

No, I will not stop asking.

Close, but not enough to hold up in court especially after all the other legal wranging Harmony Gold has been pulling lately.  I imagine the courts are tired of listening to suits made on behalf of a franchise that can't make money by any means other than the legal system.

'any kind of discussion of randomness ALWAYS WILL EQUATE to being able to critically hit a mech's reactor by firing a micro beam laser while facing 80 degrees to the side, shooting the ground, which would cause a random explosion which would randomly crit his entire team's reactors which would randomly cause the server itself to explode which would randomly generate a strange quark which would randomly hit the earth and randomly randomness randomfapp the shit fapp random!'

Any word on the price?  SC2 is still $60 and if the expansion is higher than $30 I don't imagine sales will be all that great except among fanboys.  No one wants to pay that much money for a game with such a short SP and such a DRM-laced MP.

Only everyone who is in any way interested in playing the MP at all.
Which is a lot of people...

Oh Jesus, I can't un-see thanks to you! :P

It might be 40$ seeing how its a stand alone expansion without requiring the first part to play unlike Brood War.  Though 30$ seems reasonable.


@Everyone else

I don't think Harmony Gold USA is going to sue it was a bit of a joke at the expense of FASA but you have to admit the similarities are uncanny.

According to Blizzard's FAQ, it isn't standalone and does require SC2 to play.

Ah I have not checked that in a bit, last I heard they were thinking of making all the expansions stand alone.
