The mininium system reqs will be interesting. Judging by those shots, it should be able to run on a fairly old PC. Whether this will actually be the case is another matter.

Wow, I checked that out and it looks awesome. Nothing like some good ol' 2v2 blood bath action... hopefully they'll include "classic" maps like hunters blood bath and lost temple.

I loved the original Starcraft.

I see that unfortunately, the new version will have system-hogging 3-D graphics. Which means that I won't be buying it.

I have a pretty powerful CPU and a nice graphics card. But I've never encountered a game that was actually made better by being 3-D. The latest piece of 3-D junk I stupidly spent my money on was Caesar IV.

Even though my system is way beyond what the box says the minimum specs are, the game is so "mushy" and cursor control is so difficult that I've actually re-loaded Caesar III and re-discovered what a great game that is.

Game designers just don't get it.

Or maybe I'm just too old, and more impressed by addictive gameplay (remember that?) than pretty 3D graphics.

Homeworld has 3D graphics and they contribute to gameplay, too. So does Half-Life.
