I remember the good ‘ol PC gaming days when StarCraft was the shit. If you were a PC gamer and didn’t play StarCraft you were uncool. Period. Didn’t matter if you had the most expensive rig, didn’t matter if your dad was Bill Gates; StarCraft was the game everyone was playing in the 90’s - it was one of the few RTS games to be taken to competitive arenas.

Now, back in those days those visuals were breathtaking to us. I mean, Jesus, it was the pinnacle of graphics at one point. Now, we look back and glance at the thing and it looks like the NES. Still plays like a fucking champion in the RTS genre, but looks like the offspring of doo-doo (to me at least). Years later, after constant begging and petition signings, StarCraft followers got what they longed for so long - a sequel. And with that sequel came an evolution in visuals.

Blizzard has shown off some of the updates its made to the graphical prowess of StarCraft II, which looks way more detailed. If you thought the game looked good before, get ready to have your eyes ejaculate. The amount of detail and gloss that’s been put on these character models are sick. Sick, I say!
