Blizzard reveals more info about Starcraft II on a press conference in China.

A few days ago, Blizzard held a press conference in China to talk about the upcoming title Starcraft II. They've answered questions on a variety of subjects related to the game, however the announcement of the "much more powerful" observervation method may be the most interesting part to the community.

Blizzard explains that they have noticed the need for improvement in that part and promised a system very different from their previous game titles. Only time will tell does this mean that we'll no longer require third party programs such as WaaaghTV and GGTV which cause abrupt disconnections when viewing the matches live.

Also, the Battle.net system seems to be tweaked a lot as Blizzard was confident when asked about that subject: "Battle.Net will provide players with perfect game experience, while at the same time we've improved a lot on it's functionality. It is not convenient to tell you more about this problem here and now, but Battle.Net will be the best platform to experience Blizzard games.".

Starcraft II also brings a lot of graphical improvements, however minimum required video card to play the game is only the old GeForce 5200. Many players probably won't be satisfied with this and they'll look for maximum video effects which will of course require better hardware.

Blizzard did not want to talk much about singleplayer mode as the main subject of the conference was Zerg race, but they said that "campaign will be of a tree-shape arrangement, players can choose different passages, different level-ups and different bonuses during their playing. The frameworks of the game is done, but the order of three campaigns matching different races has not been decided yet."
