WWI 2008 StarCraft RTS Fansite Event Part 1

During the stay at WWI, you have probably either seen some of the streamed content that was available, videos from panels or transcripts from interviews, but one thing you probably won’t find on many other places is the exclusive StarCraft 2 discussion we had with Kevin Yu (Karune). Of course, we have had discussions with him before as well, but this week was a lot more informative, as we were more sure on how to ask, and more direct at what we wanted to know.

It is a given fact that Karune is not Dustin Browder, so everything Karune knows could possibly be a day or two old, but as he have more contact with
Browder than most (including Rob Pardo), he is still a very reliable source!

In this first part we will discuss:

• Vespene Gas Changes
  
• Single Player - Graphics & Story
  
• The Mothership’s Uniqueness
  
• Ponderings on the Nullifier
  
• Broadcasted StarCraft
  
• Corruptors
  
• StarCraft 2 Complexity
  
• Spectres - Units from the Novels
  
• Infestors’ Infestations
  
• “Call to Arms” in StarCraft 2
  
• The 6 Starting Probes
  

In the second part the discussion goes on towards release date, beta, community responses, unit changes and artwork, so read on if you are interested in StarCraft II. Here is a snippet:

	Blizzard Quote: (Source)
	Broadcasted StarCraft Many of us fans are really interested if the actual game of StarCraft II will contain more of a way to broadcast or share StarCraft with friends. Karune said that while they have no details at the moment, Battle.net will be a lot more useful (also mention in the Diablo 3 info about Battle.net). “Fans should be able to broadcast, replay, interact and share StarCraft 2”. He said that they have a great focus on creating ways to distribute StarCraft 2 material easily. This could mean anything from an automatic e-mail function of a replay, to a dedicated replay player or a replay-to-YouTube-converter function such as Spore has. Either way, it’s some very interesting comments on this, and could mean revolutionary changes to how we see gaming. Almost like “videogaming 2.0”. Naturally we’ll see Blizzard in the forefront.
