Why Starcraft II took so long to come…
Seems a slow few days for news so I thought I'd put up a few less "news" like articles, to see if there is an audience for them
Blizzard bigwig spoke at a recent AMD event about the reasoning behind waiting years to do a sequal to the massively successful StarCraft. Their reasoning behind not making a sequal sooner is down to graphics technology; the original starcraft was built entirely on a 2D system, and the developers did not think that graphics were good enough to capture the true style of StarCraft until now.
It's an interesting reasoning for a genre that typically is not the most graphically advanced.

Well the game was great although it is a bit hard to believe that they didnt believe the graphics was not good enough as every revolutionary graphics update was a mega update i think they just didn’t think it was realy a good time my self but when it comes out im sure it will be amazing
