The board also had a picture of Jim alongside his brothers in arms during the war. Apparently he's somewhat of a Robin Hood-a champion of the people, but wanted by the powers that be.
Pardo did so, and we saw a wanted notice for Jim. You'll be able to look at various postings of a bulletin board. A lot of these things seem rather superfluous, but there are also other elements that will enrich your knowledge of the game universe. In the example shown, we see Jim and Tychus in a bar, where you can zoom in on them quite a bit and better familiarize yourself with the narrative. Before any mission, players will begin a hub area, where you'll prep for the next mission and examine your surroundings. Here, he comes asking for Jim's help but when they're through with their excursion, they're tossed into the fire as the Zerg emerge from their nests and try to overwhelm a Terran settlement. As we find Jim lounging in a bar, we're quickly introduced to Tychus Findlay, the soldier that was put into the power armor from the first teaser trailer for StarCraft II. This particular planet is especially significant as it served as the planet that saw the first contact with the Zerg forces, which Blizzard thought would be a fantastic place to start off. He's this grizzled old soldier who's seen it all and has become a freedom fighter on the Mar Sara. Pardo introduced us to Jim Raynor, the central character of the Terran campaign. In the StarCraft universe, Blizzard wanted to take that approach to the next level, allowing players to learn about the planets, cultures, politics and the war. The team drew a lot of inspiration from Warcraft III that game dealt with many characters of that world as they all took part in the massive battle of Azeroth. Whether it's when dealing with missions or simply buying new tech, something new had to come of it. It wanted to give players an extra level of interaction with the choices they make. Basically, Blizzard wanted to make something that took a new approach to the single-player campaign. Mostly, the team wanted to make something that's more compelling than other RTS games. Pardo explained that they had a few goals when making StarCraft II. At a panel Friday afternoon, Rob Pardo, executive vice president of game design, took the stage along with fellow developers Dustin Browder and Chris Metzin to talk about why they need three games to tell this story. Though it's been a little while since we've heard about StarCraft II, the game developer brought a new build of the game to the show, and there was plenty to talk after it revealed that it was splitting StarCraft II into three.īut why create a trilogy?
