News - StarCraft II

Blizzard Entertainment has announced the official system requirements for StarCraft II and several Single Player graphics from the Terran campaign have been discovered by StarCraftWire.

System Requirements

There has been constant speculation about StarCraft II's system requirements since its announcement. The rumours have been put to rest with a partial announcement:

For Starcraft II, we wanted to maximize compatibility with less capable systems to ensure hassle free game play for as broad a player base as possible. Yet we also wanted to utilize the full potential of any available hardware to ensure the game's looks were competitive. This meant supporting a wide range of hardware, from ATI Radeon 9800/NVIDIA GeForce FX's to the ATI Radeon HD 4800s and NVIDIA GeForce G200s.

Technology advances continually, and Blizzard is trying to take advantage of this.





Single Player Graphics

In the past week, there have been rumours about the partnership between Blizzard Entertainment and AMD graphics. StarCraftWire has recently uncovered Single Player screens released to AMD. These graphics can be summed up by the following phrases: Wild Wild West, wooden saloon, Raynor's alcoholism. The former phrases are ridiculous while the later phrase has been known since StarCraft II's announcement. However, this announcement is unique because we haven't seen the Hyperion in over a year. Hopefully, Blizzard will continue to polish what will become a central location in the Terran campaign.
