StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Trailer

[May 28, 2011, 1:31 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Teaser Trailer on Dailymotion is online, an apparent leak from the upcoming second installment in the three-part release of StarCraft II, Blizzard's real-time strategy sequel. Though leaked, this looks like it was created as a promotional material, suggesting more revelations about Heart of the Swarm may be near. Thanks GameSpot.

My problem with SC2 is that while there may be a lot of missions, the overall gameplay length was somewhere around one campaign from SC2 since so many missions were completable in about half an hour. So despite claims to the contrary, it really is paying full price for 3 chapters.

Maybe you haven't played Starcraft 1 recently or something but most of its missions only took about a half hour to finish too. The only hour plus missions I can think of are the last mission of the original Protoss campaign and the last mission of Brood War.

My guess is either all the haters hate that SCII couldn't give them their youth back or they exaggerate SC1's campaign length because the game did less to keep the mission rolling. I know I took ages in my first SC1 play-through (I actually thought it was pretty boring, heh), never attack unless you're at 200/200 etc. But when I replayed it last year I breezed through most of them in half an hour as you say.

SCII has a much better mission design but that makes it harder to stretch each and every one of them to an 2h turtle fest. And if you grade games only by their potential as time sink then obviously Blizzard sold out (which is stupid. In every way. Especially for SCII where custom maps will keep even the multiplayer-haters entertained)
