Neocrisis: It does not matter if you have not played Starcraft or Starcraft: Broodwar. This video series, which consists of 11 parts, will fill in the gaps before you play Starcraft 2. Video consists of various clips which are put into chronological order.
The video series first shows video clips from Starcraft 2 and Starcraft: Ghost. Then, the video shows clips that flashback to the events of Starcraft or Starcraft: Broodwar. These flashbacks show the events of 4 years ago and help explain the current events shown in the Starcraft 2 and Starcraft: Ghost clips. This is repeated throughout video series.
Note - Video CAN NOT be embeded
A new part will be released every 3 days. The final one comes out on Starcraft 2's release.
Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.
They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.
Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.
The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
Gotta wonder why Starcraft: Ghost literally became a ghost.
Great, looking forward to the next part.

Gosh I can't wait for this game! I love Starcraft and am about to explode with anticipation. Good video!
This is a fairly comprehensive build-up to the sequel... I'm surprised Starcraft fans aren't running in here by their millions!
cool post.
