The Hype Thread

Curiously enough, I'm rather impatient for Star Trek to come out in cinemas. I guess I'm hoping it doesn't suck as much as most previous films, meaning less technobabble, more realism. And more action, though judging from the trailers I don't think that's gonna be a problem.

That biker dude looks suspiciously familiar though.

Anyone else here want blizard to hurry up and release SC2? Looks really awesome, if you've enjoyed the first one... at least it won't be another duke nukem. You can already pre-order it i'm pretty sure.

I'd rather have Diablo 3 than SC2 really.

From what I've seen, Diablo is a dungeon-crawler along the lines of Dungeon Siege.

I personally am far more interested in SC2, with little to no interest in Diablo. What with Starcraft still being insanely popular some 15 years after release, SC2 is gonna cause some kind of explosion.

Also, there will be a revolution in Korea.

11 years I believe actually. But yeah, it's going to be epic.

For fuck's sake. No, lightstriker was not making shit up. Check Wikipedia; it took me less than 20 seconds. Starcraft's 11 year birthday is 3 days from now.

Lies. Everybody knows that there's a government conspiracy to cover up the release of Starcraft, which actually happened some 30-odd years ago.

I'm curious to know what exactly this 'physics' they're talking about is, though. I see rolling rocks, but do they interact with units? Are the physics going to be moddable? Is it just going to be a fancier particle engine, with no gameplay effect?

prototype, epic-ness.

Yeah, Prototype looks very cool. I like how you can absorb people and steal their identities.

For those who are looking forward to the new and upcoming Star Trek movie I've heard it was really good from a recent review of the movie. Carlyle a member of the Spill movie review team was fortunate enough to see a early screening of the movie and was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was.

Here is his early review:

I'm not really a huge fan of Star Trek, but hearing this review kind of got me pumped.
