StarCraft II TV ad pumps up the hype
Need to get more pumped for StarCraft II next month? Hit the break for the TV ad that’s starting to air across the US.
The 30-second teaser shows off some of the big cinematic moments for the Blizzard RTS.
Time to get the landing gear out, guys. This one is heading for a landing. Hooah.
StarCraft II launches on July 27 worldwide, beginning with the release of first expansion Wings of Liberty. Two more expansions, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, will follow afterwards.
Thanks, AGB.

Why can’t they put this on the PS3…isn’t it supposed to Friendly for this kind of stuff…I mean they are getting Free Realms, DC Online…I would Love SC2 and Guild Wars 2!!!

@3 Because Starcraft 2 is complicated for consoles?
Never played Starcraft? Gamepads don’t have mouse precision and hot keys. Thats enough for Starcraft that won’t be ported for a PS3.
Free Realms and DC Online are designed for a consoles and they are easy games, compared to Guild Wars 2.

Even if they could port it, nobody would buy it. Starcraft is a prime example of game which is absolutely PC-centric. Unless it’s on a Mac.

@5 I don’t believe that. Starcraft is legendary.
If consoles could do RTS right, i’m sure there could be a fanbase for it.

That’s the point, though – consoles can’t do RTS right. Without the aforementioned mouse/keyboard you’re basically fighting a losing battle. Even if you could surpass that, RTS games are going to be a hard sell to the average console gamer, I suspect.

I guess you are all right, but can you imagine if they released one for the PS3 as a bundle that came with an exclusive Keyboard and Mouse with a Starcraft2 designed exclusively for the PS3? With Exclusive Levels only for the PS3? I think Hard Core StarCraft 2 Fans would buy it, might even sell a few PS3′s. I mean ppl are willing to buy a Rock Band Bundle for $99-$199…I imagine they would buy a StarCraft 2 Bundle with Keyboard,Mouse and Game…especially if it were an exclusive and designed for the PS3. I know Microsoft is not Friendly and Open to MMO’s but PS3 seems more friendly, I guess I can dream!
