I dunno, starcraft looks great for me.

I don't see what everyone's complainng about. I see high detail models, all the old starcraft looks, lots of effects *Notice the little spotlight to the side on one of the buildings* and it does this all without destroyign the original art sty!e (Why in gods name is that word banned?) I just hope this game doesn't run only in dx10 like halo 2 or else we'll have a lot of eliminated customers.

it looks good, it's just that it doesn't have that starcraft "feel" or look. It has more of a warcraft look where everything is bright and very colorful, and well, starcraft has a darker feel that shouldn't have that brightness.Dopemonk736

Starcraft wasn't that dark to begin with. Seems to keep it's style fine:

you think so? It looks way different to me, for example: look at the textures on the sides of the cliffs, that does NOT look like a starcraft texture, it looks like Warcraft.

It looks like a cliff. Seriously man, you're being extremely nitpicky.

I disagree, i think it technically look's outdated, especially in comparison to CnC2 and Supcom. 

But honestly, i don't know what people were expecting..it's not like Blizzard was ever known for  ground breaking graphics.

It's not a huge technelogical advancment but whatever, it's an rts. Even thinking about lag can screw up your micro. Might as well leave power for the loads of models you have to do.

i don't think you understand me. i am saying Starcraft wouldn't use that cartoony texture, I'm not saying it looks bad.

I don't think you're understanding yourself. You're complaining about a small cliff texture. Here:

There's anotehr cliff down near the bottom, gonna complain about that one as well?

I love StarCraft, but I will be skipping on this one. RTS's are boring anymore. They are just the same old thing over and over again. BioShockOwnz

You mean just like fps's?

It's pretty clear that Blizzard just didn't want high end hardware to get in the way of people wanting to play SCII.That's the case with all of Blizzard's game,  again, I don't know why any one is surprised.

I agree. And i never said i had a problem with the graphics. Acutally I'm happy that they look outdated and nothing like supcom and CnC3 (sorry about the typo) otherwise my crappy pc wouldn't have been able to run it.

What I have a problem with is people acting as if Blizzard promised something graphically exceptional or as if their games are known for cutting-edge graphics..

man you are the mos stubborn 12 year old I've ever met. i am simply stating that Starcraft would use a more realistic texture for the cliff instead of a cartoony one.

It's a rock texture for a game that's a year out from release, get over it

And every other genre dubbed down to simplistic form?

Looks great to me too, and Blizzard has always built games for the average PC spec. 

And the whole thing about cliffs.  Cliffs are boring.  Seriously, they are boring unless you have someone falling from them like Wile Coyote or Homer Simpson.

It's an FPS nonetheless, if the 'same thing over and over again' RTS genre can include game that play so different from one another, from Company of Heroes to Command and Conquer. I don't see the problem is of including "non-typical" Bioshock in the FPS genre. FPS are as equally variant as RTSes are folks.

Because Graphics really do matter, contrary to what everyone says, there, I said it.
