Good find Threefingeredguy. I'm very impressed with the cinematic trailer they had, do they have any interest what-so-ever in making a movie? ...Because they really over did it for just being a computer game.

wasn't it announced in the Kijk last month?
and in the gamers magazine for sure.

anyway, it looks good, and it should be fun

at one part, the gameplay vid (where did the DivX mark come from?) reminds me of Minion madness in Guildwars before the nerfing of the Minion Master

It wasn't announced until last night. A lot of people were worried (or hoped) it would be another MMO, but the fact that it's an RTS is awesome.

And if it were an MMORTS...

It's possible.

Never mind. I never liked seeing 60 zerglings at once, and I definitely don't want to see 4 million people, each with 60 zerglings, which is...mumble, mumble... 240 million zerglings! Talk about a zergling rush...

Kekekekekeke.
SCII looks like epic win.

Blizzard does that with all their games

The warcraft III movies where more cinematic, but the build-up in a 2 minute video game trailer wouldn't hold up in a full blown movie. They'd have to leave the cinematics to a real director or two.

That's true, it wouldn't work well if it was much longer. The Diablo 2 ones were awesome but I don't think a full-length version of those would be too good.
