Which one? Ghost had at least two different dev-teams. All the hype and screenshots and descriptions of gameplay came from the first dev team. Then it was announced the game was being switched to an entirely different team, eventual release was promised, and then it vanished.

The team that made Metal Arms: Glitch in the System I think was the second dev team. I don't know that they ever did anything else. I don't even recall the other dev team.

look at the videos, im not a graphics whore or anything, but for christs sake, look at it zoomed it, same fucking engine as warcraft 3

no offense, but company of heroes and supreme commander, and hell cnc3 look a hell of a lot better(im not talking art, im talking about the graphics engine)

course blizzard always goes for the lowest common denominator, so i don't expect them to require a 8800gtx or directx 10 to play, but still, atleast upgrade your fucking engine

i still dont get what your trying to say. its pretty vague. by improvement on the graphic engine you mean normal maps? whats wrong with the old graphics engine? what is it specifically you dont like?

in my opinion its an improvement over warcraft 3. it has more polygons, the texture are less cartoony. it looks nice.

I dunno dude. I'm not ussually a fan of Blizzards design and color sense, but I still think Starcraft 2 looks pretty nice!

At the very least the animation of the characters has definitely been upgraded. Every unit moves around in a cool and unique manner.

I love how the Zerg really scuttle around like a swarm of beasts or insects and the marines with the Jetpacks have nice little motion trails and I love how they hop around the terrain.

I like it. It's full 3-d, but it has a hand crafted feel to it like they're sprites or table top miniatures.

Andy Chambers from Games Workshop (Warhammer, 40k) is now with Blizzard working on Starcraft 2

Though overall, I think their art direction got worse.
SC1, thought the Carriers looked awesome. Saw the SC2 trailer with the new Tempest, just doesn't look as good.

The new zealots, their 3D models aren't as cool as the SC1 tiny sprite, the proportions are different.

That's because the old Starcraft sprites barely looked like the actual models. The Zealot sprite looked like a tan Alien with razor blades.





I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.

yeah, the zealot sprite looked better than the model in the campaign selecting screen. Though even compared to that, the SC2 zealot's a new design.

Carrier was big enough to have detail though, its CG model just looked like 3 sheets of paper.
